    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

    ONE YEAR ON with the Nemesis X PCP CARBINE in .22

    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.

    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

    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.
