    Pump Ups

I loved the Sheridan but again being a multi pump made it unviable as a hunting weapon due to the time required for a quick follow up 2nd shot if needed due to a wounded animal.
    The Imperial Air Rifle Co. Double Express would have been your solution to the follow up shot.

    I shall have to get all my Innovas together in one place for a reunion photograph; before I start selling them off...

    I will keep 3 or 4 - a nice collectors standard .177 and .22 and a hunting .22 and .177

    The other 10 will have to go... needs must.

    Watch this space...

    According to the G-WB thread I linked, Holts had a guide price for the auction of £2.5K - £3.0 K

    Indeed "quite" expensive

    But the item did not reach its reserve...

    Lash two B45s together to make a budget double rifle. Providing that second shot, or, pull both triggers at once for the 'scatergun' approach

    Strange you should say that...

    I've currently got 2 Innovas in one hand and a roll of gaffer tape in the other...

    Just to make it interesting, one is in .22 and the other .177...
