The best looking gun I've ever owned?.......an Omega.
It's a crying shame the performance fell short of the German offerings.

Ok, here goes. Imho ...
Best engineered: Service Mk.II
Best finish and build quality: the Mk.III
Best (personal choice) for nostalgia: the Vulcan
Best classic shooter: the Omega, and ...
Best over-all all-rounder: walnut Brum-built Longbow.

Absolutely. Have both and it is a fact. Just surprised about the statement that a Sidewinder Compact is better than a vglided HW80. I had one of each in 0.177 and the Compact didn’t come close. I can only assume the same in 0.22 the Compact wouldn’t come close in that case either!
Mk.III...
For me Longbows I have five ! three .177 two .22 all tuned Venom V-mach and SFS
Closely followed by two Tomahawks one in each flavour .22 is V-mach kit and the .177 is very special Wonkey Donkey tuned
Hi all and a Merry Christmas!
I'll probably be shot for posting this BUT I really love the power and accuracy of the UK .25 cal Patriot. I have sent an inordinate amount of time and effort into INCREASING both the power level and accuracy of my 2 Patriots; but it was fun. Yes I realise there are some other wonderful sub 12 fpe guns by Webley (I started with a Webley Junior over 55 years ago) such as the Mk3 which I loved. The Patriot is simple, built like a Russian tank and made to last a lifetime. Ok, it can be a little difficult to cock and some triggers are heavier than some others; BUT, does it move a big lump of lead! My more highly "tuned" version (spring is getting a little tired) imparts 796 f/s to the 25.4 grain JSB King and 910 f/s to H&N FTT. Best accuracy is with the JSB; less than 1" @ 50 yards off the bench.
Cheers to all

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
