was not a particularly beautiful rifle and the trigger gets harder to pull the more you pump it.However,in 1978,this Sharp cost $NZ70 and churned a pellet out at a 1000fps without recoil. I think you folk in the UK might have only had "tame" Innovas?Originally Posted by pmcb
Well, I bought a used Innova a while ago (because I never had one back in the 80s).
I hated it (maybe it had been 'clicked and clacked' too many times in it's past!).
It was cheap, nasty, loose, and toy-like... I second the OP. I'd prefer to use just about any airgun than that thing... recoil-less or not!
I luckily sold it quickly on for what I'd paid.
Now, I wonder how much I'd like an ASI Paratrooper, with the old rosey specs on!

Footnote.
I've watched a number of well-endowed chaps who cock the likes of HW80s easily,struggling with pumpers .A "pumping knack" is definitely required but once mastered,makes the task fun.:-)
