There's been a lot of postings gong around about the Taipans lately so I thought I would throw in mine. The targets are 5 shot groups each of various slugs for the 700mm and both slugs and pellets for the 550mm. Both guns are about a year old so they are in the "newest group except for the new...

I was out last night at my friend's ranch trying to get some hogs and coyotes. Got skunked on both hogs and coyotoes, but there were a lot of deer. Here are a couple of videos I took of the deer. The big group playing is between 400 and 500 yards. The second group is at 30 yards. This was...

I went out today to re-sight in my Epic One .25 with the 700mm unchocked CZ barrel. I have been trying varios slugs as this will be a slug shooter and today I shot the Griffin .25 60g boat tail HP slugs. My zero is at 30 yards and I have 4 1/2" horse stall mats stacked back to back with a...

I took my Western Sidewinder S .25 out the other day to shoot it. I filled it up to about 275bar - my normal amount - and on the first shot, I heard a louder than normal pop and then all the air started leaking out the magazine area and the barrel. The gun was in semi-auto mode. It drained...

I had been trying to rid of one pesky rabbit that continued to create holes in my yard but he had been very elusive. Well, he made his apperance last night and I was able to "arrest" the behavior in my yard. I used my Uragan .25 with an H&N 31g Baracuda pellet and my Thermtec Vidar 650L...

It seems that this time of year really brings out the vermin! I caught a squirrel and a very large Norweigen brown rat in my shed the other night - both foraging for food! I got the rat in the evening with the aid of my Hikmicro thermal scope and the squirrel videos were take with the Hikmicro...

I took my HPC .25 out today to site in a changed scope. I noticed that my POI was quite a bit lower than I expected. So I put the chrony on it and to my surprise it was going at 685 FPS where it had been going at 860! No air leaking that I could tell, but I’ll let it sit. I then upped the...

I have a Krait L with the mk3 Huma regulator that managed to blow out the o-rings. I went in to change them out and accidently dumped the spring washers before I could see how they were stacked! Does anyone know how they are stacked? Cupped? Back to back? If you have a picture, that would...

I have a Taipan Vet II tactical 550mm .22 that I bought from a non-US store. I shot around 100+ pellets through it and everything was fine. Then, on a shot I guess I inadvertently hit the cocking arm with my hand and it was 1/2 way open when I fired the next shot. The air blew out the back at...

Here are a few videos I took the other night using my TNC225R. There are a couple using the day time digital and then I switched over to thermal for the same videos so one good AB them relatively easy. Apparently a deer died at the foot of a neighbor's dock (the neighbor has gone for the...

I bought my Hikmicro Alpex 4K LRF from airgunheaven.com - here's the link to the scope - https://airgunheaven.com/en/night-vision-scope-hikmicro-alpex-4k-a50el-lrf So far, the 4K is my favorite "regular scope" based night vision scope. I have both the DNT Zulus and TNC225R and they are my...

I recently got an EVOL 30 from the classified section here. I already have a EVOL 15. Per the AAA and AoA sites, the 30 should have roughly 30 shots per fill @ 4000psi. I fill the gun up to 4000 psi and I get about 12 shots. Do any EVOL 30 owner members have an extremely low shot count and...

A very long story, but I'll try and make a shorter summation. I tried to purchase a Hikmicro Alpex 4k LRF from this UK establishment and they took my money and then I filled out the )(#*$)(* paperwork to receive an NV/thermal device to have them receive the documentation - snail mail only - and...

I went to the range today to shoot. Nice day under 90 degrees! I have the Arken Zulus 5x20 Non-LRF on my Uragan .25 (tuned by @zx10wall). It has been tuned for JSB 33.95 MKIIs and that is what I am shooting. I zeroed the gun at 30 yards first. These photos are at 50 yards with a hold over...

I have a new Taipan Vet 2 tactical that has developed a slow leak. It is the 700mm version in .22. I can fill it up - I did 250 bar then 215 bar - and let it sit and in 4-5 hours or overnight the pressure is under 50 bar but not to 0. I got the gun from Tony and told him and he said to try...

I inherited an Akela 177 back from my son that said he will never use it. I went to take the stock off the gun with a 5mm hex key and low and behold, the top of the hex bolt seems to be stripped. I can't get a 5mm hex key to grab at all to take the bolt out. I have googled on "howto" take a...

I have 2 of these scopes coming in from an EU source. I wanted the 5x30 Pro for the longer eye relief to use for night hunting (ratting primarily) that I can use my NV clip-ons that don't work well with the zero eye relieve 14x50 - which I have on my Panther Hunter Compact. I am willing to...

I have an ATN X-Sight Gen 5 3x15 LRF scope that I would like to trade for a PARD NV008s-LRF. I have an NV008s-LRF now and I just can't get use to the weight of the ATN with the external light on it over the PARD. And for some reason, I just can't get a clear picture focusing with the ATN. My...

The wife was supervising me cleaning up and actually mentioned how many pellets I had and that I really didn't have a good way to haul them to the range or anywhere for that matter. I have a birthday coming up and she actually offered to get me something if I could tell her what I wanted. I...

I was able to reduce my wire gnawing vermin by one again today. This one was one of those "delicate" shots. I have an open lot in front of mine where the city decided that they needed to have a flood plane drain, so they wacked the house and now it is my dog's permanent toilet! The squirrels...
