Turkish Tempests

[nikonf]

Hi,
Don't knock it until you've tried it?
A name is a name only, and good quality Turkish is good, again then try and give an "honest" opinion ,not based on the name(Turkish), be objective
,not blinkered.
You can buy a Rolex for £10,000 , and an Accurist for £300 and perhaps the Rolex is 10% better?

I am not really sure where you are going with those comments - maybe you should read all of this thread and the results of our test ?

We are not knocking it and we have tried it

The Turkish Tempest easily won our direct head to head test against a well run-in British made Tempest and impressed all of us that were involved in the test

The test was most definitely HONEST, it was NOT BLINKERED and it was very much OBJECTIVE so it already seems to meet or exceed your suggested requirements.

Maybe you did not see it or read it?

As we continue our testing we will remain fully HONEST and OBJECTIVE and will NOT be BLINKERED in any way - we have no axe to grind by reporting just how good the Turkish made Tempest performed, BUT we will also make sure that my well worn BT is performing as well as it can by checking the old seal and perhaps by giving it the same wide trigger advantage that both the Turkish made and the later British made Tempests already enjoy.

We also reported that the Turkish Tempest had a better finish than the British made one as well - but against that it is also very fair to mention that the British made example did "feel better and was also smoother to cock" ......more very OBJECTIVE reporting .

I really like my new Turkish Tempest, but it is a little rough in some areas where the British made example is better. If you read all of this thread you will see this for yourself.

I fully expected some of the dedicated supporters of the British made Webleys to object to a report that clearly makes the Turkish made Tempest such a clear winner - but have to admit to being gob-smacked that an obvious fan of the Turkish made Tempest has any probem with it winning the head to head

Being a dedicated supporter of all Webley pistols (why is there no roll-around-the-floor-laughing smillie? ) I support the accuracy comparisons results between the British and the Turkish Tempest.

The Turkish Tempest did hit the wall behind the target holder nearer than the one.

Praise indeed from the active President of the Webley Air Pistol Fan Club

Nice to know our efforts have been approved by his Royal (Webley) Pain in the Arse

Hello,

Here is a link to a couple of photos of my 'Turkish' Tempest sporting it's new wood grips which in my opinion not only look superb, but have also improved my hold being slightly wider than the standard plastic grips.

The grips which were beautifully made by Andy (BBS airgunner.177) not only fitted perfectly on receipt but have transformed the appearance of the pistol.

I should add that I have no connection with Andy other than being a very satisfied customer.

There is also a photo of my best group to date which was shot at 10 metres using a single handed, unsupported hold.

For what it's worth, I have really enjoyed following the results of what I consider to be a very objective and totally unbiased comparison of the 'Brummie' and 'Turkish' pistols which has determined pros & cons relating to both products.

Looking forward to results of further testing and comparison which should provide a good insight for Webley enthusiasts.

Zooma,
come on it has had some bad reports!!!!
Yes I have read all the comments, thank you very much!!!
I have the Turkish .177, and am extremely pleased with it!!
THere is an overall feeling , sorry for repeating myself?, that Turkish is not very good.
I have Seniors/Premier(1 and 11) , Juniors (1 and 11) and I do feel as though here is a bias against the Turkish one.
I have read all the comments, thank you( only thing good to come out of Turkey is the fez? e.g.)
Have YOU read all the comments!
