I have an Eclipse, Brum Raider 2 shot and Brumbow. The Brumbow is a lovely gun. Shame proper Webley went to the wall. Tracker for me is my favourite, had two in my time!!!!

John Darling JD (1946-2004) was my inspiration to be the best i can and enjoy the sport i love. R.I.P
A dedicated HW80 Fanatic and owner since 1986 to present.
The Tommy is my favourite followed very closely by the longbow,I still have my mk1 Vulcan that I bought 33 ish years ago.The Venomac influenced gun are very underrated in my opion, and can keep up with any thing out there and look better whilst doing it.

Longbow or Eclipse.

I do have a soft spot for the Vulcan MK1 having been my second rifle after my BSA Super meteor. Then I went to the sportsman in paignton in 1978 and the guy let me try a FWB Sport and a HW35E...evil man. Mach 1.5
To be fair to Webley, the FWB Sport and HW35E (and from 1980/81 the HW80) cost a third to a half more than a Vulcan, so that comparison (which I remember doing and ending up with an FWB) was never completely fair. Though the base model HW35 was often priced right at Vulcan levels, and, objectively, a much better rifle.
The best webley ever made has to be the
Mark 1 rifle without it the others would never have existed. It was the first and the best
.
I will use this thred as an excuse to show the pics of mine.......again :-)

only ever had one webley and it was an osprey . loved that rifle until the bits holding the trigger parts came away for the receiver.
IM on the longbow vibe , have had 5 and kept 2 which are sidewinders compacts as good as hw 80 glided but a lot lighter
Had Five Longbows ( including a Venom ) four Vulcan Deluxes ,Two tomahawks, three Mk 3s , two trackers , three omegas and three ospreys
only got two now a Mk3 and an osprey both mint ( and I dont shoot either ) Nice to have though
The Best ( almost forgot the question ) The Tomahawks !
Don't know about best Webley rifle made, but it was the Webley Jaguar that started my life long interest in airguns. It was .177 and took many avian pest from my dads orchard, three apple trees and a plum tree,at the end of the garden.
