Helloooo. I bought this week something i've only known about for a few weeks. I love my Umarex Winchesters but was saying to a Plinking mate a while ago that I wish I could find a Winchester lookalike that didn't rely on C02. Then, I sort of found one! I instantly fell in love with it when I saw it in a photo of another gun I was buying off a very nice chap. I asked him what it was and he told me it was a Webley/Erma Ranger. He wasn't selling it. Then, a little while later he offered it to me so he could finance another purchase so I bought it. He very kindly included in the sale some info from magazines etc. I've had a sqizz on the Interweb and found a bit more about them but not a great lot.
Just wondering if anyone on here has one/had one and knows loads about them etc because any info is greatly recived, injested and, unless it's in German, understood. As I said in the chat section; if this rifle shouldn't be in here, please let me know and it will disappear.
I thank you nicely.  Attachments:

Very nice Winnie and it’s a proper Airgun so you can discuss it in the rifles section.

I thank you nicely.  I have seen these before and I remember the rags advertising them too. They have been discussed on the AGF and the airgunbbs a few times. I do believe that the Umarex boys club also had a thread about these once. |

Billy,
My pal Eric has one, I have shot it a few times... very nice, good quality. I have also been inside one ...no surprises, from memory.
Enjoy.
Pete.

I hope so Andy....I paid a lot more!!!!!!  
I had first plink today with it today (recieved it on Tuesday) and I hit everything I aimed it at. Having said that, the target was my Barn door and I was stood a foot away from it.  Only joking, It was very accurate at 10 yards. Slightly fiddly to load the pellets if you've replaced all your fingers with Vegan Sausages and given them a healthy coating of butter but, load them I did. Not the most powerful of Rifles at around 6ft lbs possibly but; I didn't buy it for that, I bought it for the reasons I bought my Umarex Winchesters. Talking of which; it has a lot in common with the shell ejecting Winchesters in that, not only have you got to bend down to pick the cartridges up with those; with the Ranger, you also have to bend down to pick the pellets up if you've replaced your (see above)
