I'm starting to like most everything about the Taipan Vet 2 except for the noise it makes, I guess everyone has a different idea of what quiet is but to me this gun is not it. All my guns that are in or close to Taipans power are quieter with mods.. even in the woods squirrel hunting it seems fairly loud, shot at a squirrel at 60 yds and it definitely heard the shot when I missed.
Would like to take that big ugly mod off and put something else on it that might be more effective but the way its set up dont see how, if you've put a different one on or modded current one on your Vet2 please explain how and what you did.. Thanks in advance for any help.

It may not be the report. I always found my vets to be loud (vet 1’s), but it always ended up being the action close to my ear. The actual report was silent. I unloaded them for this reason, but wish I didn’t. They were great shooters.

I've had the opposite experience with my vet1s . Quite actions for a bullpup . I'm running factory power levels , 34fpe and 18.5 so a quiet report as well . Imo

You might be right but it sounds like its coming from end of barrel. I will have to have someone listen when I shoot it.. but I still dont like that ugly mod hanging off end of the barrel.. Would of been better with a full length shroud instead of that ugly thing.

Have you checked donnyfl? He usually is pretty quick to come out with a 1/2 20 adapter.

I tuned mine when I got it because it was wasting air and loud with the tune that was put on it. I took it to about 3% below the knee and it's much quieter now. It's possible the reg is set too low for the speed you're getting and needs turned up so the hammer spring can come down and waste less air. My hammer was tuned to the max, at least if not past the top of the knee. Turn your HS and see where the top is at or if you're at it. If you are just set the reg up a bit and go again so you can back the HS off some.
