“Just bought a second hand Eclipse with a Hawke...”
Written on: 29/08/2010 by kelpi (1 review written)
Just bought a second hand Eclipse with a Hawke 1.5-6x44 Nite-Eye scope, the stock has seen a few miles and the rear and fore sights have been removed(the previous owner obviously didn't intend using it without a scope or anyone else for that matter)even so first impressions are positive,25 yards and for an old git like me,not a bad grouping.The dealer suggested Air arms Diablo field pellets.Will try these first and keep an eye on the forum sites for any good advice for other pellets to...

One of my favourite air rifles ever. I can't fault it really. Had it for years and still doesn't fail to impress. Quality through and through. (read more)

I have had my Webley eclipse for nearly 12 years now and it still does the job. I do think its a heavy rifle, you certainly know after carrying it around for an hour.As far as accuracy is concerned i cant fault it, I use a Tasco mag 4x50 and I get nice tight groups out to 45yds.The loading is fidley but you soon get used to it. Overall I love this rifle I have had many over the years but this one I will never get rid of. (read more)

Written on: 30/05/2009
I bought my father a Webley Eclipse (brand new) for his birthday about 20 years ago. We both had many hours of accurate, consistent fun with it back then. Then 2 years ago I managed to con him into giving it to me (that's another story). Having used many rifles during that 20 years, holding that Eclipse was like being re-united with an old friend. It is, simply put, the best. (read more)

Not much to dislike here. This gun looks and feels the business. Nice weight to the gun. I bought mine second hand saving alot on current new models at the time and not giving up any power.
Webley Eclipse is a good looking gun. Best air-rifle i've ever had, better than my Theoben by far.

All in all this is a great gun. The Webley Eclipse is light for its size and a good piece of kit to start off on. i also own a 77kand the two guns handle very similar. all you would ever need from an underlever springer! (read more)

Written on: 27/09/2007 by recce1230 (1 review written)
I have rated my Webley eclipse .22 with a very high overall rating, this is because I find it perfect for killing all quarry. I have removed the spring on my model and have fitted it with an air ram so the rifle now produced just over 20 ft lbs, i do hold a firearms licence before you ask. I find it very accurate up to about 50 meters. The rifle is tough and strong and I like it more than many of the smaller lighter air rifles available, again just my opinion. I only use the rifle for... (read more)

Written on: 17/09/2007 by kenbu (1 review written)
I bought my Webley Eclipse Mk 2 second hand, production of these rifles ceased in the late 1990's and they are relatively scarce, there are only 2 in my club and we have over 70 members. It's a big, long, nice looking rifle, that doesn't weigh as much as you think.
The Eclipse is a fixed barrel ,under lever rifle , with a flip up breach and an alloy receiver( more about that later) .They were made in 0.177, 0.22 and they could be found in 0.25 also.It is quite a long bulky rifle , without...
