Sharp Innova

[jirushi]

Imo the real attraction of the Innova is the simplicity of design, accuracy, durability and basic functionality and to me its pretty much perfect as it is, no offence to people who want to jazz it up, just my two cents, sometimes you don t need to improve on perfection eek

I agree. Just brilliant in their original form.
I'm now comparing the Innova with the Victory.
Although I think the Victory is great, I prefer the Innova.
I've never been attracted to Ace's tbh, I find them quite heavy.

I you want to give the Victory a new home, I'll volunteer

One thing's for sure, without a silencer, they go off with a hell of a crack

I think it was ‘pump up’ guns like the Innova etc that sparked the interest in recoil free air guns which kick started the PCP, bought my Innova in the 80’s and still have it, also had the Sharp Ace but sold it as I preferred the Innova.

Interesting, I much preferred the Ace just becuase there was alot less plastic

Both are let down with an indifferent trigger which gets harder the more you pump.

Agreed, but it can be improved on a bit, I used to polish mating faces, coat with molycote and bake off then burnish with an old leather belt, not great but improved
