FEINWERKBAU SPORT and the ANSCHUTZ 335

and the OMEGA is no better than the VULCAN it replaced IMO ( with its slab of PTFE for a piston washer )

The Omega didn't replace the Vulcan, it sat alongside it in the Webley range as the top of the tree option. Had an Anschutz LG335 and an Omega carbine when my first FWB Sport landed (a 127) which I loved, but being seduced by all the hype surrounding the Sport 124, sold it (shame), and bought a sorted FWB Sport 124. This was a nice .177 rifle true, but I did a Pepsi challenge and tbh I found it to be no better than my Omega, and not as smooth as my LG335, so moved it on to free the funds again for another Sport 127.

Okay, so the Arnie only does 10ft.lb, but it is soooo much smoother than the Sport 124 which was/is imho, a highly over rated rifle as is only as good as -- not better than -- the aforementioned Omega or Arnie LG335 in .177. Sports look better though, granted, and (again imho) the Sport 124 and 127 are visually the sexiest production run break-barrel air rifles ever produced (and the 127 the best all-round break-barrel .22 to shoot, too ).

That's what I love about you Gareth, not afraid to tell it how it is and give your opinion, I can't comment on either of the rifles mentioned as I've never shot either but I have owned a Omega and thought that it was a very good rifle and trigger for the time (when it was first produced) and yes you are right about it being the bigger brother to the Vulcan, it was the Stingray that replaced the Vulcan.

Cheers Pete, cheque is in the post . Yep, it's a 'big-up' for the Omega here, as imo it is equally as good in .177 as an FWB Sport 124, and maybe (just maybe) marginally superior . Coupled with the fact that it is British and (again imo) the best standard production line break barrel rifle Birmingham ever produced, the Webley Omega for me, really is the top of the springer tree .
