    Tuning Realistically, how do you all keep up with the slug dream??

    Today I brought my Taipan V2T 700 .25 and Skout Epoch .25 with the 34.4” barrel to shoot a bit at 50 then 101 yards. Both shot heavy pellets and slugs really well at 50 yards. No problem grouping, even with heavy winds. The Skout with the Corbin slugs and AEA 33.95. I concentrate on Zan slugs...

    Taipan Taipan Veteran 2 .25 550mm stock tune?

    Not sure if this helps being I have the .25 V2T with a 700mm barrel. But when I talked to Taipan about their regulators, they told me they send them out at 135bars because they found that to be the best all around setting for air consumption and energy. They made no distinction between barrel...

    Taipan Time to show my Tactical2 for hunting day and night

    Man, that’s very nice! That’s sending them down range with authority too. I would ask why I can’t get my V2T to shoot that well but I already know the answer.

    Brocock/BRK Best PCP You've Ever Owned?

    For benchrest, I would have to a say my Skout Epoch hands down . For hair/feather and always ready, my Taipan V2T is an absolute pleasure.

    That is very cool! Can you give any info on the buttstock?

    Taipan Ugly/Beautiful

    I’ve had very good results with Zan too. So far the best slug I’ve shot. 35’s were good, 37’s are great. Next I’ll try the 41’s. I likely just don’t know what I’m doing but It sure seems like this gun likes a higher reg pressure and a lighter HST. It gets good shot counts and it feels/sounds...

    Western Airguns How have Western sidewinders been holding up

    A friend of mine has a SW .25. Punched a lot of holes in paper and many squirrels, rabbits and wood chucks. No issues at all with the gun. One thing tho. He bought two extra magazines. When he used them, his FPS was a lot different a than the original and they would blow a little puff of air on...

    First of all. Weevil, apologies for hi jacking your thread. Not my intent. MushroomPsyche, that is exactly the information I needed, including the info on the projectiles! Thank You very much! Oh, by steps I meant. HST adjustments.

    Taipan Ugly/Beautiful

    I appreciate that MushroomPsyche, thank you. But that’s the thing. Today, at 110 bar, probably 15 HST steps from 782-966 FPS all but two steps had really good ES and SD. 5 or less ES and less than 2 SD. Although that’s with roughly 7 shots per step. It’s seems like instead of a tuning “knee”...

    Taipan Ugly/Beautiful

    Maybe of note, maybe not. The belville washer stack up in my V2T is different than the stack up Mr Rowe has on his videos. I have it in my notes and verified its order. It’s )) (()) (()) (()) ((. Same number if springs, just different order. I spent some time today with the reg at 110 bar. This...

    Taipan Ugly/Beautiful

    It does. I suppose you could take the bottle and drop link(?) off to spin the plenum off. But that just seems like too many things taken apart when not really needed. I pull the barrel, picatinny rail assy and spin the plenum off. Edit: You are very knowledgeable but I’ll also mention, just in...

    Taipan Taipan Veteran 2 magazine with slugs question

    Is this what you’re looking for?

    Taipan Ugly/Beautiful

    It’s funny you ask because I forgot to mention to them what barrel length I had. I asked what reg setting they send rifles to the US. They said “Regulator is normally set up at 135 bars”. Mine is the 700mm.

    Taipan Ugly/Beautiful

    My Vet 2 did not have anything written on the reg like others have seen. Taipan told me in a recent email(yesterday) that they set the regulators at 135 bar when they send them out. I have the reg tester from Tony at Talon and it tested at 137 bar. Edited to add. I have run into the same...

    I haven’t had any issue like this either. Have you made any adjustments to the trigger settings?

    Skout Skout Epoch Problem

    I have no doubt that Skout will help/take care of you. They are a stand up company. That said. Finding the spot where the ratchet lines the thimble up perfectly in the breech has been the toughest thing for me to find. Sometimes I just loosen the ratchet, bring it back 2 clicks and out it...

    Skout Today I’ve decided to change my forum name/handle….

    Outstanding! Very nice shooting.
