Webley Xocet
Despite a couple of poor reviews the vast majority of Review Centre reviewers (over 60 to date) find the Webley Xocet an attractive choice down at the gun shop.
Accuracy combined with great power and good looks is a general opinion but the low price is also an enticing factor. If that hasnt made your mind up then maybe the lightweight frame of the Webley Xocet is the reason for considering this gun.
Its available in .177 or .22 as Standard or Carbine. Each model is available with adjustable open sights and deep grooves for the addition of a scope or a reflex sight. There is certainly nothing to feel shamed about carrying one of these down to your gun club.
