Overview

The Webley Stingray is a break-barrel, spring-piston air rifle manufactured by the British firm Webley & Scott. Chambered in .177 (4.5mm) pellet, it is cocked by breaking the barrel to compress a coil mainspring and piston that drives a column of air behind the pellet on firing. The Stingray features a rifled, over-sleeved barrel, a hardwood sporter stock, open sights, and a grooved receiver for scope mounting, making it a popular sporting and pest-control air rifle in the United Kingdom.
