Walker56 Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 Need some help my father has just brought a Webley jaguar .177 around he had this rifle as a child himself and is passing it down to my son . It does need refurbishing stock and barrel and strip and clean. The main question I have is can I mount a scope to this rifle and does anyone know what size the mounts would be. I already have a hw77 which my lad shoots well but he can't cock the rifle and struggles with the weight but he can cock the jaguar were they less ft lbs or is the spring probably shot. Thanks.

bruno22rf Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 I had one as a child but I cannot recall it having scope rails? It has the same cylinder as a Diana mod. 22 and I think that it also shares parts with the junior and other models. From my recollection its a very basic gun with crude open sights.

Walker56 Posted January 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 (edited) I had one as a child but I cannot recall it having scope rails?

From my recollection its a very basic gun with crude open sights.Yeah spoke to my father it did have open sights originally ( now missing ) but does look like it has a rail on top similar to hw77 but not as long. All I can do is try some mounts see if I can get them to fit , my lad is struggling with the weight of the hw77 and this would be ideal for him when were both target shooting rather than him sat bored.Your right it is as basic an air rifle as you can get but shoots alright for something older than me 😄 Edited January 6, 2014 by Walker56 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah same on this one buddy , I've been told if fitting a scope to it to be careful as the solder can break and the strip become loose or fall off altogether . Worth a try though just going to be used at a 25 yd indoor range for my lad . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
