I had a Venom Viper, basically the same gun and it's a well built bit of kit.

I'm still getting used to mine (only got it very recently), but love it!

My brother as one imo its a good first pcp nice workmanship all round but that said it seems a bit front heavy to me (could be the 8" silencer he as on it) i've put a few rounds though it myself and most say i enjoyed it got a nice grouping out at 30m well with in the 45mm (1.5") "kill zone" i'd give it a good 9/10

I've had a .22 Raider 2 (the 2 shot version) for a bit over a year now and can't really fault it. The blueing's about the best I've seen on anything and the action is very smooth and reliable.

Like others on here, I have noticed more "twang" from the hammer spring than is usual on other PCP's - but it's inaudible a few feet away, certainly nothing to spook quarry.

JSR have got some Raider 10 shots going for silly prices at the moment....

webleys are well made , a bit front heavy and have a dreadful trigger , if you can cope with the trigger great but if you try a logun daystate or airarms trigger it makes the webley look crap

I had the two shot, great rifle, but loud, hammer twang plus a fart sound with the silencer. Poor resale price, I sold mine, with scope for £200, and did well to get that. Most will buy the AAS200 instead (like me).

However, if you can pick one up cheap, they are great.

ive got a raider single shot.22,its my first p.c.p after owning a lightning xl and it only cost me £219 from j.s.r,i use accupell pellets which i find very effective on rabbit and pigeon,at first i used bsa elite but i found them to be very innacurate.ive had no problems with the gun at all

Raiders are highly underrated IMHO. They are accurate, good build quality but they are let down by the built in silencer (on the 10 shot only). Having bought an AAS410k (after hearing everyone here bang on about them) I've discovered that I find the raider more aesthetically pleasing, nicer to shoot and better balanced (in my hands at least). It all comes down to personal preference though.

It might be best if you can try one to see how it "fits" before parting with your cash or even try a variety of rifles. For the price of a new Raider you can get other good guns like Falcon, Air Arms in good condition second hand.
