Best Webley Rifle made?

[Muskett]

Don't have a picture posting site as otherwise I'd send you my perfect Sport combo: Apel mounts and a 4X40 Optima. I prefer .177 even in a Sport but bth my .22 Omega and Sport shoot nicely.

Telescan, Scout system works. Just sold my boxed Telescan. Sadly the Webley was let down by using too poor a scope; the cheapo 1.5x20. Put a good handgun scope on and the system is pretty good though not with much magnification.

All the great shooting springers weigh a ton. Just like powder burner long range, or culling, rifles. Few people shoot standing unsupported any more. I do but I'm not getting better at it as its a young man's game. Thats rifle, not shottie. Still surprise myself sometimes by pulling off a good shot.

After reading this thread with great interest, it's occurred to me that I've never shot a Webley rifle, only pistols. I've now got an itch to get one, and I've always liked the Tracker.... so I'll look for an Omega by the sounds of it.

Good choice, or alternatively, go for a Brum-bow.

The Tracker is my favorite ever Webley rifle. As my sig suggests I'm currently on the look out for bits to rebuild a couple of them that I own which are in a sorry state. Apart from looks and compactness they don't have much else going for them, but there's just something about the Tracker which I love

As this thread is about the best Webley my vote also went for the Omega. If you want a good first impression of a Webley then the Omega is a better bet than a Tracker! Bear in mind that they are an old rifle now and finding one which hasn't been tampered with will be a challenge.

The Tomahawk and Longbow are right up there too no doubt. Technically they are better than the Omega. However, I believe the Omega was a better rifle of its time than the Tomahawk and Longbow were of theirs.

I've never had an 'Bows' or Tommys or Omegas so I can't really comment on them, My faves are-

1- Mk3
2- Vulcan ks
3- Falcon

I also have Ospreys, Mk1 and mk2 Service but they're not as nice as the mk3 Also had each oth three Mks of Hawk, Wouldn't have another thrown at me!!


Oh, Have a 2 shot Raider but I was told that wasn't even a Webley!!, It shoots great though!

The Viscount deluxe is the best looking Tracker.

In older Brum webleys , had

2 x raiders , single and a 2 shot
Axsor 8 shot
stingray

still got the Axsor , can not fault it

My choice would be the Longbow and Omega. Poor trigger and barrel pin let down many of the other Webley models (Tracker, Vulcan etc.). The Mk 3 is well over rated and the Service ......

I tend to agree, as the first of the 'Tracker' series I bought was a Viscount, but I found it too unwieldy for field/hedgerow work so changed it for a shorter barreled Tracker carbine. I still have a few Trackers in various guises, some with gas springs and a couple with near 'Exhibition' stocks, along with a boxed 'Camo' version.
