Sharp Innova (original)

[Rickenbacker]

Ha ha, I see you never had one !

In the sweet words of Sinatra:

Innovas, I've had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do
And saw it through, one of them was 177

Please - don't give up your day job.....

Nice .... but did you rate them ? Lot of pumping in .177 I should imagine ��

Umm, I didn't really shoot it much as I remember, but the peep sight was quite nice

Innovas are a great hunting gun for 100-150 quid.

They are very accurate and much cheaper than a pcp.

I have bagged many rabbits and rats and squizzers with mine.

A great light, budget, recoil-less hunting gun imo if you don't have 300-400 quid for a pcp .

yes had my Innova 2 from you and its a cracker.

[Rickenbacker]

I gotta be fair, Matty tirelessly taught me how to fix the first Innova I had... He is an Innova Jedi

So I take it then that if a manufacture brings out a light weight break barrel or side/under lever that requires about 4/5 relatively easy strokes to cock before you can shoot it, all you pump up fans will be rushing out to buy one?(the principle is the same), I think not.Pump ups have been and gone they weren't very practical that's why nobody makes them,apart from the Webley Rebel which is probably okay for the odd bit of back garden plinking.

but Patrick, what about the Sheridan Blue/Silver Streak mines from a time when Sheridan was still independent , still dose 11.3 with H&NF&TT pellets and with its Williams peep sight is accurate enough to take a rabbit /rat at sensable ranges. The stock is nice American Walnut and and its quiet and light.As far has I am aware there still makeing them and still selling them, though sadly not here so I will just enjoy this "old-Tech" that is still damn effective and a delight to use and own.

I'm not suggesting that they're totally useless far from it and if a Sheridan Blue/Silver Streak in perfect condition came my way at the right price I may be tempted to buy it but it would be more for nostalgic or novelty reasons/value.I just don't think they're practical as a regular hunting gun or for prolonged plinking/target sessions and certainly not if you're limited to one rifle.As I said in my previous post if a manufacturer could make a single stroke pneumatic(pump up)with a decent trigger and not made mainly of plastic and sheet pressings I would almost certainly be in the market for one but multi pumps no.

fair enough

Only two benefits I can think of, very light to carry and very, very easy to re-seal. I can supply pump head seals (not O ring type).

Baz

Hello mate, i know its an old thread but do you still have the sharp pump head seals?

I know this is an old thread but how do you fit this type of sharp innove seal? Can't pm poster and so far haven't figured out how to push in the replacement from chambers on my Mk2.

Hope you don't mind in me asking but my mate did or still has a innova in a lovely thumb hole stock, Looked walnut in the pictures, I had one which looked in a beech stock, The quality on my stock didn't look as good as my mates, Did the innova come with thumbhole stock option or were they all after market stocks,
