Webley & Scott Ltd. Nemesis Reviews

Excellent weight and balance with an outstanding trigger- it's the best of any low- to mid-range CO2 pistol I've tried and a solid 4.5 out of 5 stars. I'm a righty but shoot lefty so the switchable bolt is MOST appreciated. Accuracy is decent right out of the box and the under-barrel pic is ideal for a laser sight. After six break-in shots, the Caldwell chrono clocked the next 6 shots at 414 to 390 fps, surpisingly good results with .22 15.42 gr Gamo Match pellets. Quite impressive performance overall, especially for a $100 CO2 pistol!

The pistol shoots high right so an adjustable rear sight would be nice, but the laser sight I installed will be helpful. A captive tension spring and pin would definitely be a great improvement!

Switching the bolt from the left to the right side was more than a bit fiddly, especially after the bolt tension spring and pin popped out. I was expecting them to escape so I didn't lose either, but it took 45 minutes, an illuminated, magnifier headband and tweezers to get everything back together. Despite taxing my close to non-existent gunsmithing skills, I really like the .22 Nemesis. The pistol's balance and smooth, predictable trigger make it a pleasure to shoot. I'm looking forward to many summer hours of backyard plinking - and, perhaps, taking out a few pesky, destructive gophers!

Is very sturdy and has good weight. It feels like a firearm.

Rear and front sights height ratio. On mine the rear is 3/8 of an inch and the front was 1/4. No way of adjusting elevation (or windage)so I had to buy a separate front sight (3/8 high)and make some modifications to install it. Now the gun is shoooting fine.

Buy it if you want a great air gun but you are willing to spend more money and time modifying it.

Having the Nemisis .22cal PCP rifle I wanted the Nemisis 22cal. pistol to go with it in my collection. I'm glad I did as it is an awesome CO2 addition. Ease of operation, ease of loading the magazines, location of the CO2 cylinder at the end of the barrel are excellent and, is very well made.

Nothing. It is a recommended addition to anyone's collection. Webley/Scott did a great job designing and producing.

Get extra magazines. You'll have six shots on each side of one magazine. Even with my arthritic fingers I could load each pelket with ease. Why I put off purchasing the Nemisis until now was mistake. It should have been added long ago. As for accuracy, no complaints.

I wanted to like the gun it feels nice Felt like it shot OK

Better build quality, better quality control at the factory gun started leaking second time out in the magazine is garbage

Started leaking the second time out not even 10 shots

not sure yet

The gun would not work and all the pellets jammed in the gun. Reason was the co2 cartridge would not puncture even after I put against the round end t make it more tight per the agents suggestion. I hope the new one they are sending works. To be continued

no

For the price this is a great pistol. Smooth trigger and bolt action. Tandem magazine works great and has the single shot tray. 1/2 20 threaded barrel allows for a nice quiet shot.

I would have preferred a pic rail v. the dovetail.

moderator really cuts the noise down. I did have to tighten down the rear part of the bolt action due to coming loose. Once tightened down it has not loosened up again.

I really like the features on the gun, I like that it has a rail to put on optics, Even though the standard sights are definitely usable. The trigger is excellent, The safety is standard and reliable. I always appreciate it When the CO2 can be inserted with tools that are stored in the pistol instead of having to keep track of Alan keys. I like that it comes with a single shot tray and the double sided magazine. It's nice to have a threaded barrel. I appreciate how all of your little pieces are stored in the grip.

Valve design... The valve design they chose to put in this gun would require very high tolerances to reliably seal... I'm really not sure why they didn't just use a standard o-ring or a softer more forgiving seal vs the hard plastic seal that's in the gun

There's a good chance you can get a leaky gun, PA will take care of you if you let them, I was impatient and decided to tear into the gun and reseal it myself. The valve in it seems to be made out of a hard plastic like delran or something, and that surface meets up against the aluminum body of the valve, this would cause it to have to require very tight tolerances to seal properly (which could be a gamble with $100 gun). I fixed mine with a little piece of heat shrink that I put over the entire plastic seal, now it holds the valve spring in place and creates a reliable seal because the heat shrink is actually the surface that contacts the aluminum inside the valve. Pretty simple fix, annoying to have to do to brand new gun but what do you do? If you don't want to tear into a brand new gun, send it back to Pyramid Air and they'll send you a new one...

Super cool feel and powerful for short barrel pretty accurate too

Mine had a weak valve spring so it leaked constantly but an upgraded steel spring I had laying around did the trick

It is a very fun easy to shoot and stores nicely with mag holder and tool holder for the co2 wrench

The fit is great. Switching from right to left is simple and easy. The magazines fit, work well, and will hold standard pellets with no problems. Easily will shoot 40-60 pellets with great accuracy depending on the weight of the pellet. Price point is exceptional for what you receive.

As with the Nemesis rifle, the bolt does not lock into place when ready to fire. Not a deal killer, just a little annoying sometimes. Honestly, this is the only issue as far as I am concerned.

For the price, I do not think someone could find a better option. This pistol is better than many that cost much more. Overall, and excellent pellet pistol that is a good fit for starters and experienced shooters. I am sure mods are on the way.

This will be the second Nemisis Broke first My Bad ,But I love the feel..the bolt action whis is switchable from left to rite handed. I find it easier to set up as a lefty...for reloading single shot...it's also Very accurate A suppressor works nicely .plus I have a fold down pistol grip forestock for stability. Works great .fore stocks fits nicely folded...pistols big enuf to allow a blending of parts that work nicely together I would suggest you get this pistol Unique..accurate Great feel and look

I would like to der a small picatinny area for a red dot or pistol scope

Enjoy...andtell all cans to be warey
..the Nemisis is around!

All is great

None

Over all, it's a decent value for the price.

Make a "precharged pneumatic version "

Iv heard the leak.
The one I got will not hold air to the next day..as was described in other reviews iv read!

Overall it seems sturdy I like the way it feels but the one that I got seems to leak out if I have a cartridge in there and I don't use the entire cartridge by the next day at least out completely I don't know if it's supposed to do that

The I would change would be increasing the seal so it doesn't leak a cartridge overnight

No other than it's leaking a little bit like I said overall satisfied with it

I like the looks, the weight, the "on the barrel, the double magazine included with the pistol, the sights and the Picatinny anddovetail rails for mounting optics and other accessories.

My own failure to do more than look at it when I got it in December 2020 and being too busy to try it out until just recently when I put the first CO2 cartridge into the CO2 compartment. As soon as the CO2 cartridge was punctured, it vented immediately through the barrel with no sign of any sealing. I tried two more cartridges with the same result. I then looked for any information on line that might show how the seals could be accessed and replaced - nothing! there is virtually nothing that is known about repairing this pistol and there are no parts available from the manufacturer or any secondary source other than add-on peripherals. If a person buys one, they are taking their chances and early seal failure appears from the

There is virtually nothing that is known about repairing this pistol and there are no parts available from the manufacturer or any secondary source other than add-on peripherals. If a person buys one, they are taking their chances and early seal failure appears, from the customer reviews, to be reasonably frequent. If one has it happen in the warranty period, they may be fortunate and receive a replacement that has good seal life. In the future, I will make sure that I make the time to test out an air gun as soon as I receive it.

Quality piece and good value for the price

First one received was defective and had to be returned for exchange. The second one seems fine.

I like the IDEA of this plinker - I like the .22 caliber and the tandem 6 round magazine - and it seems to deliver pretty accurate rounds.

First, I would ensure and then double ensure the quality of the gun before it leaves the manufacturer! I had to send my first one back as it was leaking CO2 so much I could barely get 18 rounds shot before it went Dead. I am now on my second gun as I returned my first one for An Exchange figuring it was just a bad apple that got out. Sadly, Not the case. I've had my second gun now since 10/13 and have had still a disappointing yield of rounds from each new CO2 cartridge I put in (and I am aware this gun uses a bit more CO2 for more powerful rounds, and I can even live with that!) What I am most disappointed about though is that I have had 4 pellets being shot from the tandem magazine that have jammed in the very beginning of the breech as these rounds were trying to be shot (Not with low gas CO2 cartridges either) Each time this happened It has taken quite a bit of finagling with the tandem magazine and the bolt (wiggling, jiggling pushing pulling) to get the tandem mag to release.

I'm not returning this gun, I am going to try and work with it, trouble shoot it as best as I am able and see if I can get it to function proficiently - I'm not the new kid on the block when it comes to air guns/rifles, in particular the CO2's.

Accuracy in .22 cal

Add a rubber slip on grip which I did

Also air pistol !

Everything , I have it in 22 cal and it is very accurate ,like. the fact I can put a moderator on it and double magazine is easy to load .

Nothing

I put a slip on rubber grip on mine gives a better purchase hold !

Well made clip mounts in the handle assembly this thing feels great

Not a thing

There is a lot to like with this solid pistol. I like the trigger a lot. Very good trigger pull and predictable let off. I like the design that allows adding accessories; picatiny bottom rail, dovetail top rail, 1/2"UNF threaded barrel. Nice weight. I like that the Co2 loads under the barrel, freeing up the grip for magazine storage. I like that it has both rotary mags and a single shot tray. I even like the box! I got 10 for 10 to avoid getting a leaker, based on a few of the negative reviews. I am very pleased with this pistol, it's easy to operate, accurate, fun, and feels very good. I highly recommend for a fun shooting target and plinking pistol.

I would make the rear sight adjustable. I would say, offer or identify an aftermarket rear sight that could be added to the top rail. Not 100% sure about the rotary mags. The spring closure is very light, but it is very small in diameter so maybe it's a balance to get the right operation. Mine have been feeding just fine in my1st shooting session. One side of the extra mag I bought was not lining up great at first, but after a few rounds of shots it seemed to settle in. Maybe a down slot on the bolt would have been good (like on my Webley Raider rifle) so it could be locked open after cocking. I found myself having to hold it open while doing various things, like cleaning the barrel. Everything else is very innovative and well designed.

Do clean the barrel. It wasn't filthy but needed a couple of patch pulls. Also clean and lube the Co2 cap/plug. Mine was gritty and wasn't threading in too well until I cleaned everything. My pistol is very accurate with the pellets I tried. Best so far: Meisterkugeln 8.2gr + RWS Supermag 9.2gr wadcutters, Air Arms Field Heavy 10.3 Domed. Today I shot at 7 yards. After cleaning and 3-4 rounds of testing, groups were around 3/4" resting on a bag. My sights are 3/4" right of bull and the Allen's on the adj front sight are the smallest things I have ever seen. I fitted a laser to the under rail and after a bit of adjusting I was holding 1/2" groups on the bull with many one hole groups. Great accuracy so far. The pistol is loud. I had a Hill Airgun 5.5 moderator that I wasn't using, fits perfect and REALLY cuts the report way down, super quiet phhht. 28 shots with authority, + 7 depending on powerlet, I used MKugeln 7.0 pistol for low power plinking and got reasonable results.
