    The turs are matte finished, no gloss.
    Also they have massive pins, not hollow one's
    Probably the SN says TR as well.
    They'realso much harder to cock so it feels

    Doesnt surprise me, those results. Many people stíll think they can buy good results. You cant.
    I can shoot the best pcp, I'll be outshot by our gunclubs'champ with a FWB65..
    Its the shooter, not the gun.

    I always wondered about the tempest, getting some sorta tight fitting springguide for it.
    I have 2 Tempests I use, 1 in .177 one in .22. The .22 is much nicer to shoot
    For 2 handed shooting they dont need a trigger alteration imo.

    PS my max score at 10m 1 handed 5 shots is 47. Shot wth Tau 7 Match AND with my .177 Tempest..

    47 ex 50 at 10 metres single handed with a .177 Tempest is good shooting did you use a Turkish Tempest?

    That's a bit harsh.
    I don't deny their historical value.
    There are plenty of genuinely crap air pistols about to deride.

    I'm sure IJ has a secret stash of Webley pistols.
    I'm still tempted when I see a good one despite the fact that I know how they shoot!

    Go on, buy one and take no notice of the detractors! Great pistols (especially if made in England.)

    So secret even I dont know about it!

    I hope my comments against Wobbly Webleys dont detract anyone from buying one. 'One mans junk' .... and all that. The main thing is that you enjoy shooting it safely. Even Relums have their good points ...... its just that Ive never been able to find one.

    I detect a slight weakening of the response here...I look forward to seeing which Wobbly you buy and bring to the club (very soon I expect) .......maybe we could even see you with a Relum on the bell target Thursday as well

    Meanwhile, I will let you have a go with my Tempest tonight - but I don't like Relums as much as you so I cant help you with that one

    My medication must have been wearing off. Mind you - I still wouldn't buy a Wobbly but I may have treat myself to another collectable pistol.

    There are some lovely Premiers knocking about on various forums at the moment. Like Bob, I reckon that your resistance is weakening by the day. It is just a matter of time.....

    Am I loosing an ally? Dont go over to the dark side.

    Ive shot and, yes, owned a few Wobblys in my time. I cant remember which models as they are all look the same to me. The best part of ownership is selling them.

    Hello,

    I can only assume by "all look the same to me" you mean superb examples of iconic aesthetics and engineering and by "The best part of ownership is selling them" you must mean that you gain great pleasure from selflessly passing them on to somebody who appreciates such things.

    Regards

    Brian

    But unfortunately not true.
    Plumbers nightmares with bendy barrels, fragile linkeages and double vision inducing recoil. Accuracy of a Gat. I must admit to a tinge of conscience when I dumped, I mean sold, them on.
