Good Points

Accurate (seems good for a springer I think.)
Reliable (never a problem.)
Cheap (well worth it at £90.)
Nice (looks and feels excellent.)


Bad Points

Power (bad point is harsh as it is powerful, but theres always room for more at about 10ftlbs, and it's not like there's any other bad points.)


General Comments

I got a Webley Sport .22 for about £90. Also bought a Webley silencer, some cheap scope, pellets, targets and a rifle case thing. That all came to about £150. At the time the options were a Crosman Ratcatcher, Rabbitstopper or the Webley Sport. I chose the Sport because I had owned a Webley before and I knew of the extremely high build quality. I also wanted something new as a couple of friends had Ratcatchers. Lucky I chose the Sport as I got a second hand Ratcatcher for £30. Anyway, got home and went into the garden. Set up cans and stuff and the sights seemed like they didn't need much ajustment from factory settings so I spent a while having fun with open sights. Then I got the scope and silencer on and it became more fun. I set up targets and zeroed in the sights as best I could and at about 20m I was managing to get about half inch groups. Pretty good I thought. I did notice that the barrel was a little hard to break at first but it had probably been lying in a warehouse for quite some time. The automatic safety catch works well and is positioned conveniently at the front of the trigger guard (which is very nicley shaped). After nearly a year it works as new and the only problem was a scratch caused by me. I have sinced resprayed it and this summer may buy a new spring (purely for power enhancement, it hasn't lost any since purchase). Speaking of power and stuff, I think it has a rating of 10ftlbs and pellets are fired at about 550fps. I know it could be better, but it doesn't feel under powered and it works quite well hunting small things at medium range. This air rifle is good fun, good quality and would probably make an ideal starter rifle, although I think more experienced users would still like it. Good value, highly recommended.
