Webley Tracker history

[Ulverston]

Hi Chaps,
I was reading about the Tracker last night and there seems to have been a few different versions of it though I've never seen them!? Is there anywhere I can find out about these and which was the best one?
Thanks in advance

Hi .177 versions seem rarer, have you tried the search function on here. Regds Jenny Dipple

Ive read about the Tracker, Viscount and one more beginning with an S? I just wondered what the difference was between them and which is best.

Towards the end of their production they produced a long barrel tracker and a black version.

Thanks for that Lumber, a nice rifle indeed.

Thanks for that Lumber, a nice rifle indeed.

It was perfect apart from the adhesive warning sign (as you can see from the photo). Last known whereabouts - in the arms of a very lucky Geordie Lad .

Hi,
I was going to send someone a couple of articles on the tracker but cleared space on my inbox and forgot who it was! If you could pm me your address I will post the photocopies to you as they arent scanning very well. Cheers.

hi there,
ive had a few trackers and liked them all,as said above the .177 are getting rare.power was around 10-10 1/2 ft/lbs but fitting a gas ram is also an option tho i wouldnt opt for one.
They can be tuned to shoot very smooth but do struggle to get past 11 ft/lbs.I had a .22 tracker deluxe which had a very nice walnut chequered stock.The best one to get IMHO would be a .177 deluxe version if you can find one?.
The other sidelever was the osprey which was a bit lower powered due to the steal piston rings didnt seal and it had a longer thicker heavier barrel.

Do not forget the Osprey and the target version the rarest of the the lot in a match stock, also the Viscount a long barreled tracker. Jenny Dipple

And the Americanized version - The Barnett Spitfire. Ive seen a couple with some very weird open sight combinations.

John Walter also lists the Trapper, which was a short barrelled Osprey with a barrel weight, "introduced in the Autumn of 1981" (ie, towards the end of the Osprey's production).
