Sharp Ace Rifle went pretty high - Sheridan of the Orient 20 cal.

Then suffice it to say that there are folks that value them more than I. I have some really nice vintage guns and I shoot them all from time to time. I suppose I'm just not at the level that some are when it comes to collecting and preserving. I guess someone has to.

Bill, not necessarily. It is extremely hard to find any vintage rifle in great or excellent condition for $200 or less. Look at some of the less than desirables over on eBay or other similar online sites that are bringing much more. I think those examples fit the more money than brains scenario, although I would have to disagree that the same can be applied here.

I was referring to the Sharp listing for $950 + $30 shipping . Would you pay that for this rifle? Someone did obviously.

Simple answer for me is no.  I saw it in plenty of time to make an offer but I knew $500 wouldn’t do it and not sure it’s worth $500 to me. Much rather go for another T&C at half the cost?

Agreed

I've 3 aces in .22 and a fair few innova's I wasn't aware of them doing a .20 my mate had a .25 but that had a harper barrel conversion
a very clean ace will fetch around £350 in the UK shame exporting them is so difficult
parts for them these days are very difficult and if the bolt retaining slide has been damaged you'll struggle to replace it

It's been relisted at a lower pric and an updated description. Says its labeled 5.0 cal but it is not.

Not bidding so you guys/gals can have it...well...maybe.

I can just see the 2 Steve's tripping over one another to see who get's to it first...

2 aces in a week, what happens is a guy who owns one sees one go for $900 and he roles out his own quickly!!  Not “as new”, like the first one.  I’m not a player, my 108 would be jealous?

Read the description VERY CAREFULLY!!!

Come on Marty what you seeing?  It’s a .177.  But what I really don’t like is it says 30 day returns ON TOP, but down below it says no returns for buyers remorse?  That’s interesting.  I just hate it has a plastic trigger for that kind of money and the sight is said to be cheap as well. Tom Gaylord’s review is a good read.

I’m into cheap scopes right now!

All of it spells -RUN- to me.
