Wow I'm surprised it was so good lol. I wasn't expecting that when posting. Again one of the best shooters I've had in my hands since I've had airguns.
Taipan Veteran Long .22 with an Athlon Helos BTR Gen2 4-20x50 MIL. Set at 20x. JTS 18gr pellets at 915fps.
It was shot outdoors in my driveway actually lol. Towards section 5 and 6 I started dealing with a slight breeze from the right so adjusted my hold.
For a rest I use a small tripod up front and rear bag. Heres a pic of it. Different scope used though than in the pic.

This is what it can do at 50yds on a couple nice days.

That’s awesome consistency at 50 yards with 18g.
True story (go back a few pages) …so a couple months ago I bought a Taipan Vet 2 .22 (550mm CZ) from an AGN member. He had it tuned for 25.39g MRDs (he installed a Huma reg at 150 bar - gave me the original reg as well - nothing wrong with it, he just always puts Humas in). I randomly dialed the ”speed dialer” hammer spring adjuster down to shoot 18.13g - it happened to go to 915fps (same velocity as yours).
I shot my first 30-Challenge card with it… 200 13X or 14X I believe (it was not nearly as good as your card, but still a 200). I was a bit shocked, seemed easy. I’m totally impressed by the build of the rifle. The only rifle that I’ve seen built to a similar standard is the Weihrauch HW100 - and even the HW100 does not have a barrel that is threaded into the breech.
