Brian,
Thanks for your, once again, helpful comments. I had seen the Kempton advertised and may get along, work depending.
I will be shooting the pistol at my club on Thursday, i'll let you know how it goes and i'll post some pic's when I get a minute to take them off my phone.
Kind regards,
Gary

Re: Webley Target MK11 for 10 Metre?
Brian, I agree that Gordon Bruce's book is excellent and I made sure that i'de had a good read of it before I began looking.

Quick photo of my Webley MK1 Service air rifle.
I'll need to fiddle with the picture export settings to see if I can post better quality pictures.
