Taipan Baptized the new Taipan Vet 2 today

Hey “Tommy Taipan”,

You are far from being done, lol... and you can always send the ones you are not using to me, as I seem to be the home for forgotten air rifles…

What I’ve noticed is that for you to be shooting those kinds of scores immediately upon receiving the rifle, it must “fit” you. You always told me that you prefer traditional rifles over bullpups, but perhaps this Taipan fits your shooting style more than you expected.

Makes me want a standard in .177 and a long in either .22 or .25. They are such nice rifles to operate.

Ed - Ha Ha.

The gun safe in the garage is full, and it will be very hard to explain to Lucy why I can’t fit any more rifles in the safe, especially IF…..I buy any more. The good news is I do shoot them all and often, and the ones I have are good quality air guns.

The Taipan Long with 700 mm barrel “feels” like a Traditional rifle when I have it on the bench. It’s a beast with the 42oz DNT 7x35x56mm scope, but since I just use it for paper target shooting I’m fine with that.

Anyone shooting the AEA 21.9g? Just curious what your experience has been so far.

Finally got the AEA 21.9g pellets and tested accuracy at 52 yards.

A bit windy for testing, but the pellets grouped well.

40 shots @ 913 fps for an average CTC of .512”

I still need to try this again with the JSB 20.83g lights.

Those pellets appear to shoot well Tom.
