Good Points: Accurate, decent enough power for short range hunting, interchangeable barrels on MkI & MkII.
Bad Points: Fragile open sights (on MkII & III), welds on trigger mech housing prone to snapping.
General comments: 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 repositioned and the interchangeable barrel feature was deleted.
First rifle I ever owned was a Hawk MkII, bought for my 11th birthday in 1976, I still have it.
Don't be tempted to fit a more powerful spring to a Hawk as this will stretch the rear of the cylinder where the pin goes through.

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.

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.

I bought my Webley Hawk 15 years ago. It has great value for money although it was cheap but it can compete with many of the expensive airguns. My Webley Hawk is dead accurate within 35 yards. I tried more than 20 kinds of pellets but RWS

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 rats e ...

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. . . .

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.

I Have a Webley Hawk air rifle and i find it quite light compared to some more modern rifles. It was only £20 so i think it was good value.

The Webley Hawk air gun can be upgraded to be very powerful and fast.

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.

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.
