I've got new seals arriving in the next week or so for my Patriot .25cal and also a Gas Ram conversion all from custom air seals.

Still having problems with the cocking lever so looking at ordering a new one out from the UK.

Will let you know if the gas rams helps control the beast

I would not bother ordering a new cocking arm for that model, as it will likely fail very quickly too.

Nice work on getting the group size down. Obviously a gun that needs skill to shoot, hat off to you. Be interested to see further posts on it at varying distance distance.

what pellet are you shooting through it?

Its got a big spring in it and generally the bigger the spring / more power, the harder they are to shoot. Once you have a predictable trigger then its learning how that rifle likes to be held - generally artilery hold, letting it do its thing is best for powerful springers - trying to hold it tight doesnt often work in your favour.

This seems to like JSB exact Kings, but could probably do with some more testing. It got the most power efficiency with kings - higher weight yeilded less power and lower weight gave faster FPS but a little less power.

I've just picked up one of these too, except it looks like mine is the hatsan made TR version (someone will know did Hatsan buy Webley and Scott) was originally on trademe for over $700 but then the cocking leaver gave up the ghost so I got it dirt cheap! Will be interesting to use it along side with my .25 hatsan for a comparison. The Webley has a full length barrel so I will hopefully be thinking that it will be more accurate at longer ranges than the hatsan (hatsan has quite a short barrel before the inbuilt suppressor)

Great post, at 28 ft/lbs the Webley means business.

Standing target - I am happy just to stay on the paper and score so well done.

Nice group on the turkey.

Information about mounts and scope is great as I continue to look for the "springer solution".

.25 Pellet tins empty fast when having fun.

I use 1.6 gramme Apolo Domed at $14 for 200 pellets.

Lets keep the springer stories coming.

cheers all

cheers mike

This is new in the collection; only scoped it up on Wednesday and gave it a run on Thursday at the club. It’s had a few shots so har and the mounts and scope are sturdy. I did buy a B Square mount that was designed for these - they have 2 steel pins for the rail to keep it still, but it hasn’t arrived from Canada yet, and the Sportsmatch came quickly. The Hawke is warranted on springers so it’s safe to use that - if it fails it’s up for repair or replacement.

They have quite the kick, so I haven’t used it at home a lot - my pellet catcher is full of shredding tyres and has stopped everything so far.
