As was already mentioned, there are several zones where individual guns will find their harmony. I'm my case, I tend to focus on FPE (maybe over focus? 🤔) because my guns serve as suburban varmint rifles. I'm trying to balance the safety and power for taking pests as humanely as possible.

My Long .22 was getting around 90 shots at that power with the 15.89gr. Hades... So the same as yours. That was at 95 bars regulator. I was only able to get 60 shots with the .22 Standard when I tuned it to 27 FPE at 88 bars. For all the tunes, the hammer spring tension was set to give around...

357.89 Edit: oh wait... this is not a giveaway 😅😅😅

Yes, I'm aware of this erratic behavior which is why I replaced the Belleville washers with the proper rating for the reg pressure I want to set. When I had the improper heavy washers, when I had the regulator that low, whenever I degassed the rifle from the bleed valve up front, I also had to...

That's a Ukraine made Taipan Veteran that had the stock changed to the newer laminate stock.

I have the Standard Veteran .25 that I have tuned shooting 45 FPE. I figure I'd tune the Short for a lower power option for shorter range shots. Yes, the Short with the 65 bars regulator tune was good enough for 15 meters, but I don't want to be limited in distance like that because the gun/tune...

I did some shooting tonight with the Taipan Veteran Short .25 at 33 meters. The tune at 95 bars reg pressure is definitely much better than before. JSB King 25.39gr. and breezy 8 mph wind. Please don't crucify me... I know these are not the best groups that you have ever seen but I couldn't even...

As I gain more experience with this gun, I am finding this to be very true. Seems the hammer weight and springs (valve and hammer) really limit how low a tune this gun can take. This probably explains why Taipan has never made a sub 12 ft/lb version of this gun (as far as I know) even though...

Yes, I get that, but I'm trying to understand how the variables relate to one another, because without understanding what variables really matter, I'm practically flying blind since most guns today are sold at maximum settings. Case in point, when I bought my Taipan Veteran Long .22 a few years...

When tuning a gun with a regulator, is there a minimum reg pressure where the gun will start doing not so well? My experience is with the Taipan Veteran Short .25 caliber. When I bought it a few months ago, I tuned it to 25 FPE with the JSB King 25.39gr. pellets. The reg pressure ended up at 65...

Ok, I couldn't take it any longer... I re-tuned the gun to 755 FPS with the JSB King 25.39gr. for 32 FPE. Although I like the low power, I just couldn't stand how difficult it was to shoot accurately. With it at 755 FPS, it now shoots similar to how my Standard is with the King Heavy at similar...

I believe .22 might be a better option for what you want to do. I just posted on one of my threads regarding my Short. At 670 FPS with the JSB King, I find it quite difficult to shoot at 30 meters. The gun is very sensitive to follow through. I don't know if it's because of the long lock time...

Sorry but I have not tried the lead free pellets. For anything under 20 yards though, there's a good chance they will be accurate enough at those distances.

The more I shoot this rifle at this tune, the more I find that it is very sensitive to follow through. I usually do my target practice at 33 meters and at that distance, the rifle is definitely accurate but only if I really concentrate on my follow through. My Veteran Standard .25 tuned to 45...

This gun gets 80+ shots on the reg with the 25 FPE tune and very quiet as well. 😅😅😅

I have my Veteran Short .25 tuned quite low at 25 FPE. This is at 65 bars reg pressure with the Huma Air regulator. This is also using the lowest pressure rated Belleville washers set that Huma Air sells; 60 to 115 bars. 20 FPE would probably be about the lowest the .25 Short can go while...

Thank you so much. I considered purchasing some of those as well!

I've been using the Veteran platform for 5 years now but I've always used one of the 3D printed cheekpiece. I sold the Veteran Long last year along with that plastic cheekpiece when I bought the Tactical stock thinking I'll never return to the laminate stock again. It's ok though because I never...

Just an update but I'm glad that I stuck with the scope rings that I bought and didn't exchange them for the next size up. I've been using the rifle for a bit now without the cheekpiece and it really isn't bad once I got used to it and expect the coldness of the metal before I put my face on it...

For anyone who has the Veteran 2 with the anti double feed mechanism, does the gun allow you to de-cock and re-cock the gun again on a loaded chamber without the magazine indexing? I'm just trying to make sure that the ADF works exactly like it does on the OG Veterans and not like the HW100...
