spanielboy Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 I have been offered a Webley patriot complete with scope at what seems to be a sensible price. Can anyone give me some more info on the gun? What are they like to use etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pegasus bridge Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 i don't have one, but it was the stuff of dreams as a youth reading airgunner magazine. When the time came and I could get one (FAC), i ended up going down the pcp route instead, a move which i regret to be honest - i was put off by reports of how tricky they can be to shoot accurately, and the heavy cocking system. in hindsight i wished i had gone with my heart and got one (or the theoben eliminator) beacuse i dont think the quirks of it would have been a disadvantage to me shooting occasionally into a tree.

spanielboy Posted December 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 Thanks for the comment. What sort of age would they be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pegasus bridge Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 to be honest i'm not sure of the range, but certainly around 20+ years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanielboy Posted December 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 Thought it would have been about that age. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenboy Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 as said it will be 20+ years old , they were regarded as being very difficult to shoot with any accuracy and having rather harsh recoil which did scopes no favours . To be honest if you want a FAC springer the HW80 is a much better gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pegasus bridge Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 it appears that it is on sale again , i think this is the webley 'made in turkey' version though http://www.webley.co.uk/c/airguns_air-rifles_spring-air-rifles_webley-patriot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
