All i have to say is HOLY $H!T this gun has some serious power . I know they dont make them anymore but if you have the chance to buy a used one i highly recomend it .
THANK'S JOE CUZ!
-
sorry wrong section
-
hey johnp is that a gas ram or a spring? what are some numbers did you get on chrony with what pellet?
-
It's a gas ram , i haven't shot it through a crony yet but it's really smooth and did a job on the pellet trap i was shooting into. BTW i was shooting beeman crow magnum pellets.
-
Bryan,, I was getting 28-31 FPE with Kodiaks & it's not even broken in yet,I believe it was shooting around 700fps with Crow Mags!
John, I told you that it was a monster!
-
thanks joe.. I'm gettting a kodiak gas ram also in .25 and I'm planning on keeping it.. Now what mode or tune can you do on a gas ram?also what spare parts do I need just incase something happen somewhere along the way?
-
Bryan,,Just send it to Dave Slade,he is the master of the Theoben gas-rams!
-

-
Is you rifle marked any were were it says made in England if so can you tell me were to look as I will be going to check one out this week end and I don't want the Turkish one, thanks in advance , This man said it was made in England he fired it once and put it away he is selling it to me for$425 dollars is that a good price for the webley Patriot in .25 cal ?. yf dan
-
that is an excellent price especially for one that has only had one shot fired through it.
it's a really nice gun , mine was sent to david slade for a theoben gas ram and a trigger tune so i don't know what it was like stock but from what i've read lhey respond really well to a good tune.
as far as markings go you can't miss it it says webley & scott birmingham england right on the breech.
ps if you are interested in making some money off it i'll give you $600.00 for it , if interested send me a PM. good luck

Thanks for the info on this rifle, I'm going to go get it this weekend and the info the man gave was that it was not them Turkish guns that are being sold with Patriot name. His word on the phone were its a Webley Patriot .25 cal made in England and that got me to have sleepless nights I must tell you. thanks again and any one else what to add to this topic jump right in, yf,dan
-
Well boy's I just bought this Patriot .25 cal rifle and it says on the breech, WEBLEY & SCOTT LTD BIRMINGHAM ENGLAND
I fired the rifle and man it was great , I was expecting something else every shot was with open sights, they hit their target and blew right threw my back stop with JSB 24+ grain pellets, never had any of my guns do that before. I shot a 16oz water bottle at 15 yards with open sights both shots hit right on.
The bluing is great on this rifle and as for the stock it feels just right not heavy at all at least not for me.
All input will be greatly appreciated on this rifle, yfis dan
-
It must be a used patriot Daniel.. Webley/Scott does not manufacture any more patriots in England. All turkish made clones now.
-
Gene, Hello there, and yes they do not make them in England any more the, man told me that I had to break the rifle in at least 500 round and then tell him what I think about the rifle as he never got to break it and in he offered me 8 tins of pellets all closed except one minus one pellet LOL. technically it is is used as I'm the owner now but it looks great the owner said he fired one round in his back yard and neighbour gave him a dirty look and so he never fired it again.I fired it in my back yard and it is way quieter that my walthert talon magnun, even I would say neighbour noise friendly for the power. I thinks the neighbour gave him a bad look because rifle looks very intimidating, yfis dan
-
Now that I have this beauty what are the best mounts and aptics for this rile? I will be using it for hunting in the desert, I would say from 20 to 60 yards. First day with the Patriot and I was hiting my target with the iron sights up to 40 yards, man it has a wallop when it strikes the target.
-
I have a hawke airmax 3-9x40 on mine with no problems, as for the mount Iforget the model # but I got it at pyramid it's from beeman for the kodiak/patriot,it has the bar that fits into the grooves on the reciever (hasn't moved yet) also as far as ammo I use beeman cromags deadly to about 30-35yds.anything further I use kodiaks or fts. Good luck
-
Johnp, thanks for your help, I was shooting Exact king JSB match diabolo pellets that weigh 25.4 grains and they hit hard, have u found this pellets to do good in your rifle as i can buy this local, and as you know this is my first experience with .25 cal's, I believe I can do real good with this rifle.
