Webley Nemesis X .22 Cal PCP. Yes NOT C02.

Webley Nemesis X .22 Cal PCP. Yes NOT C02.

Webley Nemesis X .22 Cal PCP. Yes NOT C02.

Well guys what can I say, I'm a rampant Americana addict. I love US gear from Western stuff like Colt SAA's or Lever Action carbines. But worse I have a fetish for the Black rifle / SBR / TDR / Compact rifle / Backpack gun/ Survival carbine, Scout Carbine, etc. Call it whatever you like but you get the idea. So when the Edgun Leshiy came out I was stunned, it was a Simple, Compact, Folding, Single Shot, Silly Reliable Kinky carbine. I was in lust instantly. Naturally I could not afford the £1000 price tag, and certainly not its £1800 price tag of today.

Then came the Multi shot Leshiy 2, total gun porn, but over £2000 meaning it would never be part of my life.
So I toyed with stuff like the Walther Reign Bullpup, I played around with a CP2 for a while, and I converted a PP700 PCP pistol into a carbine with a Bob Pattendon stock (superb kit) . But even the PP700BP was a compromise, Small air chamber, short barrel, low power, but I loved the falling block breech..

So I threw £180 at a Webley Nemesis CO2 rifle, It had potential but I hated the bloody 88G Co2 capsule even with a 12 G adaptor. I wasn't happy as both size capsules always leaked away in storage. And it only averaged about 9ft pound, a good 24% UNDER what we can legally have. And the magazines though novel double sided they were unreliable. So that went the journey as well.

Come forward 2 years.
Then I saw something very interesting on AAR (Andys Airguns on Air) A NEW Webley, it was a PCP version of their C02 Nemesis X rifle. Similar BUT Different.

A fully detachable REGULATED bottle instead of a disposable 88g C02 thingy. Refillable ON or OFF the gun.

A 3 inch SHORTER 17 inch carbine barrel (20 inch on C02 rifle) .22 or .177.

Full length Picatinny rails top and bottom, plus detachable Pic rail riser AR15 style.

A threaded floating steel barrel threaded for a moderator.

Two types of magazine, 1x Large 12 shot (in 22) magazine and 1x double magazine (2x 6 shot).

AR 15 styling with loads of Picatinny space,

Pistol grip with storage for carrying a spare magazine, Detachable Picatinny mounted Foregrip / Bipod.

Single shot adaptor

30 inches in length and only 2KG in weight and it runs over 11ft pound using 15.89 grain pellets.

I wanted one badly. As apparently so does Andy on AAR.

Finding one was harder than just wanting one, because its fairly new (though the mechanism is proven) not many places had them, and frankly some of them were taking the Mick when it came to prices.

Found them from £467 each , £349, £390 to £309 . The Trading post in Sunderland was cheapest and had one in stock at £309. So I went to Sunderland and as normal for me in Sunderland I got lost AGAIN. Last time I could not get OUT of that fair city and ended up in South Shields instead of the A19 south.

What's it like you ask, I think its well made, ergonomic, well balanced, very accurate out to 40 plus yards (punching holes in coke cans accurately at what turned out to be 43 yards) . Light smooth trigger, LOUD unmoderated, very quiet moderated the hammer makes more noise than the report. Easy to use about 60 shots per fill in .22 Easy to pack away if required. A great little compact take down carbine that's easy to use and accessorize.

Its an ideal truck or backpack carbine ideal for carrying around all day. (EDC)

9 /10 in use. 8/10 quality. 8.5/10 accuracy. 9.5/10 in usefulness, My own poor man,s Leshiy or Ranger XR.

I communicated with Highland Outdoors the importers/ dealers of the Nemesis PCP and they inform me the PCP has different guts to the C02 version, and its designed to operate on HPA.

Well tbh I started off with quite low expectations when I was comparing it with my other guns, but I have been proven completely wrong, its a little gem. Light, compact , 30 inches but still a 17 inch barrel, well balanced, more than accurate enough and powerful enough for me (over 11.5 ft pound) . My PR900s WERE my primary ratting and bunny basher, but within days the NEM X has replaced both as my grab n go gun. I only want a better sight but its got to be compact as I have an aversion to adding weight to a gun I could be carrying all day. I'm already buttering up the wife cos I want a second one. I call it a poor mans Vixen or Ranger XR

Good to hear
Or not
I said no more guns for a while last week!

It was the name that drew me in to the thread as I thought they might have updated the pistol to a pcp version of the Nemesis. Don't fancy tacti-cool guns myself. Single stroke or multi stroke pneumatic pistols are my jam though, and that's what made me wonder if they'd just updated the power supply to something more modern, shame that's not what it is...

Nice to see that they don't appear to suffer from the leaks the co2 versions do. Probably still about £100 overpriced if I'm honest but guess that's what we get for living in the UK

[Shooter22UK]

No leaks in mine, all good. Darn accurate and for what they give you ( gun, bipod, 3 x magazines, fill probe etc) £309 seems very fair, especially when you look at the very similar styled AGT Vixen which is over £1300 or the Ranger XR. Tell you what does impress me is the only consumable 0 rings appear to be on the detachable PCP bottle. No breach seal and no probe 0 ring to wear out. Its growing on me by the hour.

So Guys I just communicated with Highland Outdoors the importers/ dealers of the Nemesis PCP and they inform me the PCP has different guts to the C02 version, and its designed to operate on HPA.

Quote from Highland Outdoors this afternoon. ""Hi Bill, Thanks for the message. The Nemesis X PCP uses different internals designed for the higher pressure of PCP. Co2 works on a much lower PSI than PCP.""

This little carbine just keeps growing and growing on me.

I saw this model too and it is making my wallet twitch

Saw your review over on the other place, great review.

So its nearly a year since I bought the Webley Nemesis PCP , UTTERLY reliable I pleased to say, Accurate as anything else I own ( BRK Pathfinder, PR 900, PP700 Carbine, CP2 etc) Even though I blew £1200 on a Pathfinder the Nemesis is still my " Go To " gun. I now wish I had bought a second Nemesis instead of the Pathfinder which is to heavy for my arthritic hands. I'll sell the PF soon. So moving on to AMMO, I originally used JSB Diabolos in 5.51 cal and 15.89 grain weight. They are OK to good, BUT I have now very sucessfully gone onto AA 16 grain and 18 grain pellets in 5.52 cal which feed better in the magazines and group tighter with LESS fliers. They also hit harder.

Dislikes
They are few cos the gun is light, weather resistant, full UK power, more accurate than I can be, great fun and affordable (they now sell them in America as small pest control carbines) . The only issues so far as (1) I cannot find a parts list or parts diagram, I cannot EASILY get extra magazines or 0 ring kits, and no one sells spare regulated PCP bottles.

I am told the bottle is the same as some used on airsoft/ paintball guns, with similar bursting discs and regulator setting, BUT no one can tell me which is which and what I should get (anyone else know?) .

Over the year I am aware of 12 other Nemesis's being bought with few having silly issues from new 1 Trigger not setting when cocked, (Needed oiling and using to get it working well) 2 Air bottle 0 ring being destroyed when the bottle is removed ( replacement 0 ring fixed the issue) I never remove the bottle on mine, dont need to. 3 Self sealing air bottle not self sealing when removed from gun (gun replaced by shop) .

If Webley offered a rational accessory / parts service and schematics I would rate the Nemesis at 9.8 out of 10. But as it stands I now give it 8/10 and at around only £350 to buy I consider the gun ALMOST disposable ( meaning if mine broke and Webley has no parts I would just buy another new Nemesis) . For a Chinese made gun wearing a British WEBLEY badge has been a good bargain carbine for me.
