Hi,
been reading through my old magazines over the holidays and found an article from 2003 describing a Webley Venom Longbow. Did any one buy one? How do they compare to the Webleys made now? Are the Turkish Webleys any good? I only ask because I have the pleasant problem of choosing a new rifle which is a rare occurance and dont want to end up with a lemon! Still considering a Gamo...any suggestions?
Thanks.

What on earth posses you to want a Gamo??????There are lots of better rifles s/h or the price of a new one of them!
Ay oar keed, wheers me ponts?
Webley Longbow British/made in Birmingham is a break barrel as good as anything made by those dastardly Bosh types,the Webley Longbow is as good as any break barrel ever made,better than most in fact and prettier than all.My example when I get it right puts in 5 pence piece sized groups at 55 yards and Iam only an average shot so what the likes of Mr Sparks,Charlts and Co etc could do with her is anyones guess. Cracking good rifles.

the webley longbow is a 'crackin' rifle but the turkish ones have nothing on the original brummie types.
depending on your budget and taste, the venom sidewinder compact - tuned longbow, is about as good as it'll get.
good luck in your choice

Thanks chaps,
I was rather hoping to buy a new rifle as its a bit of an event for me-hence the Gamo! I suppose I wont be buying a Turkish Webley! The choices are narrowing already! With just over £200...maybe I will have to wait longer! What about the BSAs-they are owned by Gamo?

I have a Sidewinder Compact - a venom longbow with a shrouded barrel. a wonderful rifle and the only one I've never sold on!!!

Two hundred pounds would get you a really nice secondhand something or other. Gamo's are OK but they get very secondhand much faster than the more expensive guns. I'd rather have a third-hand Mercedes than a new Seat.
And you wouldn't have to wait til the guarentee period has elapsed so that you can clean out any grease and/or swarf, and relube properly. ALL factory-issued spring-guns need this regardless of make.
As soon as you buy a rifle and fire a few pellets through it, it becomes second-hand so its only a few moments of 'newness' to enjoy!
