this comparison has surfaced many times over the years on forums and over cups of teas in gunshops and dubious brews in country pubs.
and not without good reason ;they both represent routes of airgun history equally valid in their own right and have a following to suit.
my personnel preference as an engineer is with the mk3 [early types] but harking back to when they were the current airguns of choice ,the airsporter was on the wish list of aspiring air-gunners in my neck of the woods never heard mention of the webley .i have an example of each and admire both for different reasons with the weight of preference falling in favour of the mk3. on one occasion i had both out on the bench for maintenance when my mrs passed by and asked what model it was pointing to the bsa, and commented that it was one of the best looking air-rifle i had;this is from someone with no interest what so ever in airguns !;if it were for looks alone the airsporter would be streets ahead.these threads are always interesting and lead to various comparisons that had not occurred to me and learn from; one notable alternative was the fwb v orig 45.there are many others to boot .
