Would like to know opinions of those who actually have
I have owned one of the earlier tip up barrel JW50's - it was a truly beautifully engineered rifle.
Did I like the gun? Yes.
Did I 'gel' with it as a shooter? No.
I sold it on recovering what I had paid for it, I am glad to have had the experience of owning an example of a rare and unusual air rifle.

Are Whiscombes worth the money asked...well engineered, beautiful finish and extremely capable of doing what it says on the tin....+RARE...
If you have the money and the desire then YES, if it's just to do a job then NO....!
I think 'AC all day' sums it up very well.
People who have been there focus on the fundamentals. People who sit at keyboards all day focus on the trivial and inane.
