Spring/Piston Holy Grail Airgun

[Northeastbeast]

My Holy Grail Airgun is finally mine. Spent countless years searching for one and the moment I stopped one fell into my lap. A SUPER RARE Webley Venom Tomahawk 22 caliber in Walnut stock. This rifle was built and tuned by the famous Venom guys over in England. There are not many in the usa and not in mint condition like this one. Its a monster of a rifle shooting at 20 foot pounds of accurate energy. The 12 year old me is screaming in complete JOY

My Holy Grail Air rifle. Webley Venom Sidewinder Tomahawk aka Timmyhawk. The great search is over.
To understand how rare and important this rifle is you need to have been around airguns over 25 years. I searched for this rifle for a huge chunk of my life, only hearing rumors of its existence. The moment I stopped looking one fell into my lap

The Venom Customization: Venom Arms (founded by Dave and Steve Pope, and later evolved into V-Mach run by Steve Pope) earned legendary status for custom spring-powered air rifle tuning (such as their Lazaglide-type tuning packages.

The "Sidewinder" Variant: While Venom famously named many of their custom rifle builds after poisonous snakes, the Sidewinder configuration built on the Webley Tomahawk platform typically featured a barrel shroud/ built-in silencer design and a custom walnut stock, alongside a ultra-smooth internal Venom-tuned action.

Tuned for big power at 20 foot pounds of energy. Imported in limited numbers by Tim McMurray at Mac 1 airguns in the early 2000s.

A functional piece of Art .The young me is screaming with Joy, because this was unobtainium for me as a young man and not affordable
