Webley Eclipse

[pianoman 3,584]

Always a source of amusement to me how, one chap asks a perfectly innocent question and once answered, it runs on and on into some other place..Usually peppered with Mark's pictures of utter pigeon warfare!!!...

 

I love it!

This one was mine. In .22. The stock had been extended by an invisible infill piece.

Eclipses are lovely rifles. Significantly lighter than a TX but recoil not really noticeable. I think mine was doing about 11. 3 with RWS Superdomes.

Balance was just right too. There are long for a carbine but still very pointable.

The only downside, and this was for me, is that when you get used to loading directly into the breech - Pro Sport, TX, 97/77, then having to lift a loading port becomes a mild hassle.  

I sold my Eclipse and my Airsporter to help fund an HW100. 

When I reach for an air rifle, like when there is  early morning cackle of a magpie, a spring gun is still my first choice though.

Cheers for the feedback folks but unfortunately the guy backed out of the deal

you will have to get a rubbish tx200 hw97 or a hw77 now , have you thought about if you want your new gun in silver or black .

It is just the weight issue really with the popular underlevers. The HW57 may be worth a look.

Can anyone comment on whether HW have fixed the random popping up of the pop up breech issues they had?
