Hi,
I have 2 Sharp scopes.
The 4x20 on the photo belonged to a friend in Japan.
It is like the two on the right in the second photo.
I also found a 4x40 on a Japanese auction website.
Cheers
I have read that there was a Sharp scope available for the Sharp air rifles.
On the off chance that I come upon the genuine item does anyone have such a scope?
I have a couple of early Japanese glass scopes that would do the job satisfactory but a Sharp complete with scope is an aspiration.
If you do, would you be so kind as to post up an image/s for my interest; and for others?
Cheers.

Very nice, but very rare, right, Louis?
Thanks Louis. That is helpful.
I will be keeping my eyes peeled. Although I have a suspicion that their scopes were also rebadged.
Do we know who manufactured their scopes or is my suspicion incorrect and Sharp did indeed manufacture their scopes?
Cheers.

@ Geezer, yes very rare, I don't think they were ever sold in the UK.
The Sharp gun slip comes from my friend Shimizu too.
@slow_runner, yes I think it's rebranded. A nice little scope with decent optics. Because it sits low on the gun, the pumping doesn't become awkward.
I seem to remember getting a Sharp scope (4 x 32) from M/c Air Guns in the mid 1980s. It has long since gone. From what I can remember they got it in as a sample and it appeared to be just a re-badged scope. I dont think they ever stocked them.
