    Victory at last!!

    After much effort and several disappointments i've finally got one........A Sharp Victory in .177!! and some interesting documentation with it.

    A very big 'Thank you' to Morningstar for it.

    She has a good home Graham, but as soon as i get her adjusted and the moderator adaptor smoothed down........the old girl will be out working!

    Just call me 'Pimp' from now on!

    A pleasure to meet a fellow Sharp fan and a knowledgeable gent.

    Hi Mate, i've not had time to do anything with it yet apart from giving it a rub down with an oily rag!

    I need to remove the pump rod and adjust it to give 11+ ft/lb, Graham set it below the limit..(Just to be safe) i've also got the original 'Unrestricted' pump head.

    Build quality is certainly better than Innova, and not too heavy, mechanically more sophisticated as well.

    As for the trigger it doesn't become harder to release the more you pump it..(Unlike the Innova)

    As soon as i get time to get it up and running the way i want it i'll post more info.

    Well done George! You finally got one. As you may know I am also a lover of the Sharps rifles and have a few in my collection.
