Which of the late-model Birmingham-made Webley break-barrels is the best in terms of performance - accuracy, pleasantness to shoot, stock-design etc?
This EXCLUDES the Omega.

the longbows should be better than they are
as they have everything going for them / but i have seen quite a few really low powered ones

What about in .177 calibre? And what is it about the Stingray that edges the others?

Hmmmm. I got all excited when I saw the title but. Okay then, here is the thing. Am just coming to the end of a long-term field test with an SFS tuned Brum built .177 Webley Longbow, and have to say, it is every bit as good, or maybe even better (and that was particularly difficult for me to say), than my .177 Omega in terms of consistancy, being less pellet fussy, and in stock shape for my big mitts (Longbow is also in walnut which was not an available option, standard, for the Omega). There, I've said it
... Conducted the same Longbow Vs Omega Pepsi Challenge in .22 last year however, and here the Omega is still the top of the tree beyond question though, as I just love the barrel catch for ease of loading in the field, and in .22, the Omega, even standard, is sooooo smooth

Ive got a crackin good Webley Longbow here and it is super accurate when I do my part,Ive owned a few newer British built Webleys,Longbow,ExocetXS,and two Tomahawks and all were as accurate as you like.I loved the XS it was a great accurate little hunting carbine and I found the Tommies to be as good as any springer Ive ever used and they are prettier than all just like the Longbow.

Only Lb has LW barrel, Tommy has webley barrel which are VERY fuzzy!!
The Stingray is a VERY nice rifle to shoot, hold, but blueing is significantly less than the Lb as is the trigger.
The Lb is kinda a topmodel from webley, with its 'good 'ol ' blueing, and good trigger.
They both are lively to shoot though, as they're lightweight.

The Sol beater
the tommy,LB and stingray must be the best as they were the top guns of that late webley era.
my webley venom tommy ss was a pleasure to use and deadly accurate and after i tuned it up to kill off any recoil i wanted a .177 barrel for it.
the new owner said he liked how it shot so much he left it as i sent it to him and he lives in holland where he could have upped the power....dunno if he has upped it since.
