Bad Turkish Patriots?

I think not.
There's a lot of talk about how bad the Turkish Patriots are compared to the Brittish made ones.
The finish and machine work on my Patriot can't be better.
Accuracy is not half bad either.
Here's a 20 yard 5 shot group from my Turkish made Webley Patriot.
Accuracy will probably improve when it's broken in. I have only shot about 50 shots through it so far.
Pellets are Barracudas 31Grains.
Next will be a Chrony test.

I think it is.
It's a joy to shoot.
No twang noise from the spring, just a thud.

That goes back a few years when they first moved the air gun operation to Turkey. From what I understand, the first Turkish made guns WERE bad. I used to see Patriots offered for $250 - $300 but they all turned out to be Turkish. (Brit made guns were a couple C notes higher.) Glad to see they have finally climbed well up the learning curve.
