More than a decade ago, Webley made a side lever spring-piston .25-caliber rifle; I believe it was called "Osprey." My understanding was/is that it was among the most satisfactory air rifles for small game - that is, powerful, accurate, well made, and its rigid barrel made consistent accuracy easy to maintain.

I have tried to obtain this rifle for years, but no one has made one available. . . . I wonder why "large bore" side lever spring-piston air rifles are not ubiquitous?
