“Worse Webley I've ever owned - Hawk Mk 2”

Written on: 10/10/2012

I was very proud when my big brother bought me this for a birthday present, back in the '70's. Nearly new, still in the original box. .177 & .22 barrels, quite good looking back then, with the pistol grip stock. I had been brought up on Webleys, first a .177 smooth bore 'tin grip' Junior, then a .22 Mk 1 pistol. I now have an '80's Hurricane pistol, which is very well made. As is my 1957 Junior .177 rifle. The QC on the Hawk was appalling. After a few weeks, the stock cracked & broke on... (read more)

I bought one new in 1974 when I was 15 (got my dad to get it) and still have it today and it has never had a problem. Still a good rifle.

Written on: 23/10/2008 by the watchkeeper (1 review written)

I bought my webley hawk mk 2 i think in the late 60s or poss early 70s so it is well over thirty years old that i can recall, my father owned a public house at the time and we had a large back yard and the pub was three storys high and we lived in the middle of a wooded forest the yard was enclosed so it was safe to use, my targets were bottle tops resting upended bear bottle crates in those days made of wood i set them to about 125 feet and was ablwe to hit them nearly every time, only...

Written on: 29/05/2008 by harry mac

Introduced in the early 70s, these were the first of the "modern" Webleys. For it's day the MkI was very racy looking, but was old hat airgun technology in a modern stock. The interchangeable barrel was a big selling point. The MkII was a big improvement and had an adjustable trigger and micrometer adjustable rear sight. It kept the interchangeable barrel feature but with a different removal procedure. The MkII was meant to be a further improvement but really wasn't. Safety catch was... (read more)

This rifle can be used by anyone from the novice up. Fit some decent sights and you can use it all day long with no bother. My son has spent many happy hours round the fields after rats etc, and always comes home with a smile on his face. (read more)

Written on: 07/02/2006 by hasnain

I bought my Webley Hawk 15 years ago. Although it is cheap but it is dead accurate and can compete with many of the expensive airguns in accuracy. I like to hunt pigeons & starlings and it is dead accurate on pigeons and starlings within 35 yards. (read more)

Written on: 01/04/2004 by The ultimate hunter (1 review written)

The webley hawk is a old model but still can compete with modern day air rifles in the accuracy department. I own a stingray and a Theoben eliminater and its just as accurate untill 40 yrds then the eliminator comes into its own. In my opinion and many other peoples the Webley hawk is the ideal leaner air rifle light accurate and fairly powerful. (dont go buying a f.a.c as your first rifle or anything that is expensive learn on a webley hawk) it can also be used as a light hunter (pigeons... (read more)

Written on: 16/10/2003 by satansoft (1 review written)

I use a Weirauch HW77K, but my 10 year old son found it very heavy to use, so I found a second hand MkII Webley Hawk in a car boot sale. I gave it an overhaul,regreased the innards etc. the stock was in bad condition so I took it back to bare wood and restained and waxed it, added a nice 4 x 32 and now its a very sweet gun for next to nothing cost. . Nice and light, and plenty of power. Now my son is upset, coz I am growing fond of it . . what more can I say. . . . (read more)

Written on: 28/10/2002 by Kirkstead.

I had a Webley Hawk MK3 for xmas when I was 11.I had a BSA Airsporter aswell but my dad got me the Hawk 'cos it's nice and light, son'. It wasn't very much fun to shoot as I remember and was quite ugly looking to me...especially the sights and the stock. I've got a HW95 now and compared to that it's like a peashooter in the power department....good starter gun for kids. (read more)

Written on: 17/03/2002 by Chris.

The Webley hawk's a great starter air rifle, however it's an old rifle and most of the ones around today will have pretty worn barrels - mine does. It's fairly powerful and has quite a good stock on it, though it's not got an adjustable trigger or anything like that which most modern rifles have today. (read more)

Written on: 12/12/2001 by Jason.

The Webley Hawk is a great rifle for beginners but thats about it. It could put a hole in something so i suppose its not all bad. It must be an old model (verging on antique) because no mags or sites have anything about them. (read more)

Written on: 05/01/2002

I have owned two of these webley hawks but that was over 20 years ago, In their day they were a low cost rifle, about £15.00 second hand. Most of the older type rifles were quite heavy. The rifles that i owned had annoying spring noise just after firing, accuracy was okay but not brilliant, but they were quite a powerful rifle.
<br>So overall they are a good plinking tool but for anything else forget it, buy a more modern rifle.

I'm looking for a Webley Hawk MKIII airgun, (I know it's old) to replace a broken one. It belongs to a neighbour who loaned it to my 11 year old son. If anyone out there has one, please contact me at jknight164@aol.com
thanks,
Lourdes
