I bought an Xocet .22 last week and was pleasantly surprised - it was very consistent over the chrono unfettled, clocked 11.6 ft/lb with AA Diablo and looked and handled better than I had expected.
Fired with a marked twang though - sounded like an old bed spring! Not sure if these models came with spring guides? If not mine certainly needs one.
The stock on mine is not as dark as your pics. Webleys of this period seem to be very variable with their stocks in grain and stain...? I have an Omega that is very dark and doesn't look to be a diy job.
For all that the Stingray is one of the most pointable little carbines I have ever fired - a real cracker. Agree that the Xocet is not in its class.
