I would guess about £150-200 depending on condition, I just let a freind have a mint one sfs tuned,lovley gun to shoot but I just had too many rifles.

If a Mk.I in .177 iro £125 plus post (maybe £150 if truly vgc), and if a Mk.II in .177, £175 plus post (maybe £200 if again, truly in vgc), as these are the prices I got for mine last year, so know them to be close to the mark, and not just pie in the sky . Hope this helps.

Note here when buying/selling an Eclipse (Mk.I or Mk.II), never buy/sell one with a scope fitted. Always remove any scope, and check for damage before concluding the deal. Why? Because to keep the weight down, Webley used a lighter alloy for the action tubes on the Eclipse than on their other rifles.

This alloy tubing therefore, by its very nature, is a softer metal than the steel assembly usually used then, ergo prone to scope-rail crimping if mounts are over tightened, and crimped scope mount groves render a rifle NBG in my book, and can be very very costly to correct. Again, hope this helps . Atb: G.
