#Webley raider 10 manual full
Full instructions are given in the comprehensive manual, but I left it as factory-set at 1.4kg. The trigger has three adjustment screws first stage, second stage, and trigger load. It is easily reached by the thumb of the trigger hand if you are right-handed. Remember to use it – it’s there for a reason! A large red dot appears on the rear of the action when the catch is pushed forward, warning the shooter that it can be fired.
#Webley raider 10 manual manual
The rifle has a manual safety catch on the right-hand side of the action, above the base of the pistol grip – forward for the ‘fire’ position, and to the rear for ‘safe’. With RWS Superdome 14.2 grain pellets, it ran at 600 feet per second – that’s 11.3 ft.lbs. The front of the 326mm-long air cylinder has a plastic, rotating protective collar, which you rotate to expose the filling/probe hole, stick in the probe and fill to a max of 200 bar. Webley give you a probe for filling the compressed air reservoir. A moderator for hunting or a muzzle brake for target and plinking work can be screwed on. It has a half-inch UNF thread on the steel barrel and the threads are protected by a steel collar, sealed and held in with an ‘O’ ring. 177 version has 14-shot magazines, the Raider Classic is an out-and-out hunter.
Webley also give the shooter a single-shot tray for when a magazine is not needed – if you are using it for target shooting, for example.
You get two, 12-shot, rotary magazines that follow the tried and true, internal spring-loaded section, with a clear cover and loading hole. It sits lower in the action and puts it closer to the shooter’s hand, thus making cycling the action quicker and slicker. One point to note is that the bolt is not part of the pellet probe. The breech block is split by the magazine slot – the rear section is 97mm long and the front is 50mm – with the cocking bolt is on the right-hand side of the action, where two recessed rings and a matte finish give it a nice grippy surface. It’s a very clever idea and one that more manufacturers should use, in my opinion.
Machined across the top is a scope rail, but not a normal one because there are two specifications of scope rails available a 20mm Picatinny type normally seen in the firearms world, complete with ten slots to accommodate Weaver and Picatinny scope mounts, and an 11mm dovetail for normal airgun mounts, running raised along the centre of the Picatinny rail, so the owner can use either type of mount. It’s a sturdy, solid chunk of aircraft grade aluminium. All these features and more are impressive in such an affordable sported, but it’s the little design touches that set the Raider Classic apart. Its mainframe is capable of multiple or single shots, guarded by a manual safety catch, and it comes ready-threaded for a moderator or muzzle brake. This up-to-date version, the Classic, has all of the features that a classic PCP should have, including a built-in pressure gauge on the underside and a quick-fill system to fill it up. ‘Raider’ is a well-known Webley name, and the latest rifle to bear it is a cracker.
Webley’s latest incarnation of the “Raider” line - the Webley Raider Classic PCP air rifle - is a cracker, says Tim Finley in this test and review
