Keep them
Start restoring the roughest one as a learning exercise
Do not work on the Venom or let anyone talk you into selling it until you know what it's worth
I regularly see these for sale at £1000+ so it could be a valuable rifle

P.S.....And welcome to the forum.
Agree with Pete up above. Also, if you get using some of these more basic, older guns, you'll hopefully re-discover some of the simple joys of short range fun plinking, where many of us started. You don't need expensive kit and all the latest techno-wizardry to enjoy this wonderful hobby.

Do a search on here using the word Venom and spend hours learning a lot.
Depending on how "Venom" it is will dictate what it is worth ranging from.....
Had a venom kit put in it at home....not much more than a standard rifle....
To had the full works done in house including a lovely stock.........worth loads more than a standard rifle. Possibly 4-5 times or more 😁
WANTED: Next weeks winning lottery numbers :-)
As mentioned already. Maybe keep the venom. Description of what's been done to it, tune, stock, reblue, set back trigger etc will help. Mach 1.5
Definitely keep the Venom if nothing else. Even if it's only a little bit 'Venomed', it's still a HW77 which is a lovely rifle. Most of the others are quite well regarded as well I believe. Might be worth it to just take your time and restore them all to keep?
There used to be a shop in Mill End called Country Pursuits, but the owner was an old boy and decided to retire a few years back.
No idea what I'm doing hope this message goes to the intended place. Re Accidental collection, thank you for the responses.
I am aware the HW77 is probably the jewel in the crown, it has a beautiful stock. I bought it a few years ago but have no attachment to it. Some of the others I had as a kid and they are prized possesions.
If it's a vantage or Varminter 77 and depending on a few other venom bits then you are looking at a few quid. If I can help in anyway just ask. Unlike some people on the venom face book page I have no interest in buying it from you but will give a good honest opinion like some of the trusted members on this site. Mach 1.5
