Ive got one and i like it a lot.The Exocet is great value for money in my opinion.Its well made accurate,handsome in a plain kind of way,its got a nice trigger too,for the price i do not think they can be beat.

I like mine and I can recommend them as long as your happy with .22. They are easy to use accurate, well finished have a decent trigger and it you are buying new Webley’s after sales are second to none.
Mine started to “twang” (spring noise) and they sent a couriers to collect it fixed it abd sent it back all for free.
I have added baffles to the silencer that have quietened it down still more.
If you use search using ora8I as a user name you should find a write up I did.
The silencer mods are available HERE. (http://www.aamcle.btinternet.co.uk/2250/)

Agree with both above. I've got .22 and .177.
The .22 lost a stock screw recently; rang Webley - two in the post FOC. <img src="http://jsramsbottom.co.uk/bbs/e/icon_smile.gif" alt="Smile" width="15" height="15"><!--graemlin::)-->

Well i got my Exo xs within minutes of gettin home i bolted on the AGS scope then heard the rumble of distant thunder AARRGGGGGHH! <img src="http://jsramsbottom.co.uk/bbs/e/icon_mad.gif" alt="Mad" width="15" height="15"><!--graemlin::mad:-->
I thought id better check the crosshairs were level went to adjust the zoom ring and it wouldnt wind down lower than 6x!!!
So off went the scope and i took it back to the gunshop in a downpour, The shop owner was a little suprised to see me back so quick (15 minutes!) i told him the problem and he had a good look at it, A thousand (needless as he had only just had it delivered that day) appoligies later, he told me he would send it back and offered me a replacment scope whilst i waited, to which he pulled out a brand new, still boxed simmons aetec tellies <img src="http://jsramsbottom.co.uk/bbs/e/icon_eek.gif" alt="Eek" width="15" height="15"><!--graemlin::eek:-->
Acknowledgin the generous offer i didnt take it, I didnt want to risk breakin that too <img src="http://jsramsbottom.co.uk/bbs/e/icon_rolleyes.gif" alt="Roll Eyes" width="15" height="15"><!--graemlin::rolleyes:-->

Had mine for about four months now. I think it's a brilliant piece of kit for the money. I've put about 4000 pellets done the barrel now and it's shooting better and better. I've used it for S.A.R and shot my first couple of bunnies with it too last weekend.
The biggest complaint about it is that it's got me well and truely hooked on the sport. I can't get enough.

Thought id update you guys;
My AGS scope apparently got lost in the post and i should finally have my replacment tomorrow all going well
im a little pi55ed it took this long to get it sorted but ive had conformation to say it really had been sittin lost and lonely in a store room en route to the AGS people whilst Mark from J.F.Nevilles ran around pullin his hair out tryin to find it
So should finally get some REAL results from my Exy its had to make do with an old 4x15 i found in the back of my cupboard
Heres hoping <img src="http://jsramsbottom.co.uk/bbs/e/icon_wink.gif" alt="Wink" width="15" height="15"><!--graemlin:;)-->

The XS ridiculously good for the money.

from what i've heard, although the AGS scope is 'spring gun rated', when actually used on a 'springer' they don't hold zero too well

RIGHT! last saturday i went in to J.F.Nevilles and Mark again apoligised for how long it was taking as it still hadnt arrived yer
but then reached into a draw and presented me with the AGS 3-9x40 ILLUMINATED! scope and insisted that i took that as a gesture of good will instead
naturally i declined his offer (i know, but it really wasnt his fault <img src="http://jsramsbottom.co.uk/bbs/e/icon_rolleyes.gif" alt="Roll Eyes" width="15" height="15"><!--graemlin::rolleyes:-->) but this time he wouldnt take no as an answer!
So ive bolted it on to my S410, and my word it really balances up perfectly <img src="http://jsramsbottom.co.uk/bbs/e/icon_eek.gif" alt="Eek" width="15" height="15"><!--graemlin::eek:-->
Now i just need that Eclipse 30 for my XS and im away (The 4-12x50 from my s410 aint doin to well at the mo <img src="http://jsramsbottom.co.uk/bbs/e/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="Big Grin" width="15" height="15"><!--graemlin::D-->) <img src="http://jsramsbottom.co.uk/bbs/e/icon_wink.gif" alt="Wink" width="15" height="15"><!--graemlin:;)-->
