Trigger Pull: Rather good, there is just a little bit of take-up with a light and crisp release. You will have to work the bolt to engage the internal hammer for single action only shooting.

Accuracy: I was able to get an average of 430 FPS with the .177 caliber version using a brand new CO2 along with RWS 6.9 grain lead pellets. For the accuracy portion of the field test, I switched to Sig Sauer .177 lead pellets. The Webley Nemesis shot a bit high on my target placed 30 feet away, so I set my sights on the bottom ring which placed almost all my 14 shots right in the bullseye. My 14-shot string's grouping was around 1.5 inches but I am sure the Nemesis could shoot quarter-sized objects at 30 feet down range all day long once you get used to it.

Build Quality: On the outside, the Webley Nemesis Bolt Action Pellet Pistol is pretty much an all plastic airgun, but it does have good weight to it at 2 pounds so there must be a fair amount of internal metal parts. The barrel and bolt for sure are metal! The plastic does seem very good quality with nice fit and finish throughout.

Realism: The Webley Nemesis is not specifically styled to look like any particular one gun. I have to say it does have an overall Glock look to it but in a much larger form. For a CO2 bolt action pellet pistol it is fairly modern-looking compared to other target-styled pellet pistols out there.

Pros:

• Bolt-action pistol is dependable and accurate
• Bolt handle is interchangeable for right or left-handed shooters
• Self-indexing rotary magazine makes follow-up shots easy
• 0.5 inch UNF threaded barrel can mount mock suppressors
• Top Dovetail rail and lower Picatinny rail for tactical accessories
• Fiber optic front and rear sights are visible even in low light

Cons:

• Bolt-action shooters are not as quick to fire as semi-automatics
• Polymer build not as durable as full metal construction

Comments: The Webley Nemesis is a really interesting CO2 pellet pistol. So far I have not reviewed an airgun like it. I have reviewed bolt-action CO2 pellet pistols in the past but not one with a rotary magazine for much quicker follow-up shots. This is by no means as quick as a semi-auto shooter but being able to quickly work the bolt-action without having to manually place a pellet in the breach area sure does speed things up. The trigger on the Webley Nemesis Bolt-Action Pellet Pistol is one of the highlights of this air pistol, it really feels great. Combine this with a consistently high FPS and excellent accuracy and the Webley Nemesis is a great target shooter with potential for up close small pest control.
