sharp innova .22

[w preston]

i bought this super little gun for £150 with telescopic sight and mounts. it takes 6 pumps to get to 11.7 ftlbs.with no recoil and a sweet trigger this is one hell of a accurate rifle 3or4 pumps and its ideal for back garden tin bashing.go lamping and the rabbits have no chance.it can be carried all day without affecting your arms because its so light.truly a remarkable rifle well worth what i paid plus some.

Afternoon sir, you have very good taste in rifles . I have the ACE in .177 and thats a superb rifle . The Innova is apparently going to be imported again in to Uk. According to IJ they are having some difficulties in restricting its power !!. I think it will have a tough act to follow in its Older versin, i hope it will be as good a gun as i have promised myself one for my Birthday in March , in.22 with a nice 3-9X40 scope.:)

Ive just been in contact with the very helpful Highland Outdoors. It appears they are still having problems with the power and anti tamper devices presently fitted to the Puma Innova. :(

Hi IJ, any idea when, as i am thinking of ordering one in .22 .!:)

[Rellum]

:)I wouldn,t bother these New Cannon Rifles are going to struggle to pass the anti tamper tests/12ft lbs Limit I waited ages for a Crossman Discovery & ended up just giving up.Just buy a good second-hand Innova as I did mine is brilliant I use it for all sorts of vermin control/lamping ect there are loads about second-hand "Lawrie Armatruda"rebuilt mine thats why its a good one!ATB rellum:D:D

[fat man]

hi rellum, yes you could be right re these copies. As to Lawrie your spot on.:):)

[grezoor]

what could you expect to pay for a good second hand one in.22?

[fat man]

hi greezor, i supose it really depends how much you want it and how much the other person is willing to accept ,the old law of supply and demand. I have been offerd £300 for:) my Ace in past but not for sale so no pm please guys !!,

[grezoor]

wow! as much as that,i'll be keeping the old peepers open for one of those beauties regards grez.

I really miss my old Innova and hope some day to own another. No diving gear, accurate, quiet as a mouse, easy to carry. I even like their looks, but maybe that's just me.

Lionel :):)Sharp Innova,s are one of Air Rifle Shootings best kept secrets.Forget all the crap about plastic rifle rubbish these Sharp Innova,s are a serious bit of kit! As already said they are quiet,accurate,light/easy to carry, & very pointable plus no need for air bottle filling gear ELMOR FUDD made a brass adaptor for mine so I could use an HW100 Silencer so mine is extra quiet & as for the Innova,s looks no its not just you Lionel I like them too!:D:D ATB rellum

Hi mate, a 'Good' Innova working model with signs of its age could be picked up for sub £100.

A very good/mint model around £150 - £200, it depends what your willing to pay and also what the seller is willing to accept.

I've seen so-called 'Mint' Innova's going for £300 and more, guess what? The seller usually has a problem unloading them at that price.

Even a mint Ace can be aquired for well under the £300 mark.;)

I believe they did, there was also a bullpup version.

Old Jud do you have any more info/pics of these Venom tuned guns ? Thanks for your reply.

Sorry Mick, no photo's.

As far as i know the only upgrade was an improved exhaust valve.

[snipperuk]

Hi Snipper,
This looks like a Sharp Innova Bullpup fitted with a Parker Hale moderator?

[Requoil]

I have just posted one for sale on BCUK .22 in original condition with metal rear sight + spare springs washers ect and a TR robb tuning manual £70 collected or +pp

Hi, If this is still for sale, can I have it please. pm me or email me if you still have it.
Cheers mate.

Had a .22 Ace years ago. Nice gun. Ideal for shooting in back garden. Liked its simplicity. Only bad points was the barrel screws kept on loosening and the trigger wasnt the best.
Very neihbour friendly though!
I always thought pump ups were under developed. I still think a medium weight gun that would give 12lbs with about 3 pumps would be a nice hassle free gun to own and shoot

locktight on screws that hold barrel works wonders
