Having purchaced my Webley Lonbow SE in 2009, i was very very pleased with it,s standard of finish.
The Rifle is a shade under 41 inches long and weighs in unscoped at around 8 pounds and the muzzel is threaded ready to take a silencer/sound moderator.
The standard of finish is very very good with the metal work showwing a deep blue finish,and the walnut thumbhole stock is finished to a high standard too,(my only slight critisism being a small area inside the forend of the stock which looks...

If you are having problems with accuracy check that the two front stock screws are tight. After a while they work loose and play havoc with the accuracy. If they are tight, you may need to loosen your grip on the riffle when shooting. Never press the stock into your shoulder. Air rifles need to be free floating due to their double recoil. Hope this helps.

I have owned my Webley Longbow for about 2 years now and it is certainly the most impressive breakbarrel spring air rifle I have come accross in terms of accuracy and power. I opted for .177 caliber (To be different) and am very satisfied with the penetration of the shots, Using standard dome head pellets, this rifle will blow a clean hole through a steel mestin (Army cooking pan) at 30-40 meters without any problem.
I am currently using the rifle in conjunction with a Logun sound...

Sounds to me your gun had some kind of problem. The Longbow has a very good reputation, is yours a Turkish model by chance? I recently bough a Patriot and sent it back due to quality control issues. A longbow in the UK is considered a full powered gun and should be doing nearer 11 ft/lbs give or take-if the guns under warranty send it back and get it sorted!

I found that this rifle has no problem at taking down rabbits or crows at around 55 yards, and would still be able to kill at much longer distance. (read more)

Written on: 13/07/2007
Ok , so maybe I should add a little bit more detail to this review as it didn't really go into much detail .
<br/>
<br/>The main reason for giving the Longbow such low marks is down to the performance . From a very stable prone position , the Longbow only gave groups the size of a paper target from 15 yards . I even dragged a chair out into the drive as a rest to make sure that this poor performance wasn't down to ' me ' but the pellets carried on landing at random locations ... on top of this , the spring made a horrible twang when firing , and this made the whole shooting experience even less enjoyable and all the more disappointing .
<br/>
<br/>Don't get me wrong , the Longbow is a nice piece of kit if it works , but it's too much hassle and will consume too much money to get right if it's broken . I'm selling it today ( hopefully ) to a local gun shop , to regain as much money as I can from this bad buy .
<br/>
<br/>So to conclude , I wasn't really fair in my review . I would recommend the Longbow , but only one of the old ones , and only if it works . You should test it before you buy , just to make sure - this wasn't an option for me though .
<br/>
<br/>Get one in good working order and they should be good rifles -
<br/>

Bought second hand in .22 cal, a bit rough at first but what a difference it made with the following maintenance: stripped and polished, new piston seal, v-mach spring and top hat installed, re-lubed. It is now one of the nicest springers that I have ever shot and I've shot a lot. The recoil is sweet, a nice nudge as it was quite sharp before, now it's very well balanced and the weight helps with the recoil, its very accurate for a springer.

In my opinion the Webley longbow is a much underrated air rifle which deserved greater accolade. Extremely accurate and beautifully made. Excellent two stage trigger and Walther Lothar barrel. The bluing of the metal is far superior to the likes of Air Arms or Weihrauch. The walnut stock is particularly nice with its pistol checkering. No longer in production since Webley went bust after 200 years in the business. There are a few still available. Recommend purchasing a fine example of... (read more)

I bought my Webly Longbow in February 2005 from a local gunshop in Stafford. With it I got a Webley 4x32 and some low Webley mounts along with a BSA SAS silencer.
I chose the more manly .22 calibre as I was planning to use it for conies although with hindsight I believe .177 would of been a better choice due to the flatter trajectory.
When I got it home I bolted the scope on and dashed into my 25 metre range in the garden to zero it in. Accuracy was nothing short of outstanding...

The Webley Longbow is superbly accurate, it has an excellent balance with a beautiful 1/2 UNF silencer thread. In my opinion you would need to travel a long way to better this for the money, added to though it has a gaurantee, as one woold expect, I would be surprised if ever needed to use it.

Webley longbow:
After getting into precharged, I sold off all of my high powered spring rifles because they were too much of a hassle for me (not that I couldn't shoot them accurately). The only spring guns that now appeals to me are medium powered ones because I see no sense in shooting a 20 fpe spring gun that may shatter even the toughest $300 scope. The Webley Longbow nicely fits into this category of medium powered springers.
Since its release, I have drooled over it and I finally...

The .22 calibre Elay Wasp pellets come in two different sizes; 5.5mm and 5.6mm. The 5.6mm Elay Wasps are made slightly larger as to accomodate the fractionally larger barrels on some german airguns and will therefore feel tighter in the barrel of a gun such as the longbow. If the lid of the tin is blue you have the 5.6mm Wasps. 5.5mm Wasps come in a tin with a purple lid.

I recently acquired the Webley longbow and it is an impressive airgun! Metal finish is highly polished and deeply blued and the (walnut) stock is absolutely beautiful. Cocking effort is slightly more than I anticipated but that's the trade-off for a carbine-length barrel. The gun fires strongly with just a quick snap and not spring twang. Accuracy was below par at first and after talking with the previous owner and dis-assembling the gun for inspection I found that the factory spring... (read more)

Crisp shooting with almost no spring twang, and very reasonable recoil. Trigger is much better than average, but second stage has some small creep.

Oh no. I'm sorry, but I must defend the Stingray here! Seriously the Longbow is an awesome gun, and it has it's pluses over the Stingray, such as the safety catch, but the Stingray can certainly hold it's own. I find the action upon the Stingray, when cocking, etc, to be much smoother, and the trigger also feels better. Though to be fair, this is probably because my mate has set his Longbow's trigger to 'hairline' state. There's no pull- it goes straight to the second stage, then BANG! dangerous, if you ask me.

My son who is a better shot than me hit 12 cans on the trot
at about 40 metres ,I myself hit 9 from 12.
So as you can see its a real accurate rifle.
Comparing with my old BSA Airsporter which i have had for 24 years (and still going strong after a respring)the Longbow is lighter shorter and easier to manage.

Written on: 12/07/2003
Hey Matt the problem with ur inconsisitent pellet placement may be a number of things, maybe the seal on the barrel is worn and is leaking air. Also i find that if I lubricate pellets with oil the gun diesels and accuracy is lost so i prepare mine and coat them in furniture polosh which has beeswax in it, this improves accuracy. Maybe its ur technique remember NEVER rest spring guns on a hard surface you should take an easy grip using your leading arm as a base for the rifle to rest on and then just squeeze the trigger slowly don't snatch at it also that breathing has to be spott on as well. I use RWS superdomes instead of webley lazapell or dome the cost a bit more but are lighter and travel further you also get 500 to a tin.

Matt, I've seen an accuracy problem caused by the spring being a bit tight inside the piston sleeve. Easily fixed with a slightly smaller OD spring.

I agree with the lube comment. If I lube my Lazadomes with Napier pellet lube, the gun starts to diesel after a while. Also, as I am learning, trigger control is an art that I will have to practice and practice!

This is the best rifle i have ever bought. Working with a mate on a number of farms shooting rabbits this gun will cope even under the hardest circumstances.
It can kill even at 40 metres and has the best ajustable trigger piece ever. I very good rifle for some one who wants a easy to use rifle for only £250. Top!
