Good Points
The ultimate springer, and most powerful hunter in .25cal. Excellent metal finish, stock can be repainted, if you don't like the original finish on the beech stock.
Bad Points
Heavy to carry for a hunt, and requires a lot of cocking effort (48lbs).
General Comments
If you are into airgun hunting with a springer, then nothing will come close to a Webley Patriot in .25cal. Just blasts any creature you are supposed to hunt with an airgun.
Never mind whether it is that tiny head shot. Just hit the animal/bird, and it's dead. As other reviews suggest, a Theoben gas ram conversion is available, so no more arguments about how long the spring will last (it will probably outlast the purchaser) but with the gas ram, cocking effort will climb to 55lbs. Excellent hunter, and depending on the ability of the shooter, upto 100yds kills are possible.
