Been away from the airgun scene for awhile and just got back into it again, so many rifles to choose from these days, had a lot of air rifles over the years, owned pretty much all of the top tier brands but I always got rid of them for some reason or another and seemed to only keep the bullet proof, easy to work on, practical and functioning air rifles like my Ataman's and Jsar raptors which I still have.. my atamans are still holding air and functioning after 3yrs of shooting and wear and tear, never replaced an o-ring yet except for the fill probes. After searching for the last week and getting overwhelmed with all the new stuff out these days I decided to go with a Taipan Veteran 2 from Talon Tunes, I have never owned one before and always wanted one but never purchased one over the years, had a friend on here swear by them and really never heard anything negative about them. can't wait to get it and try it out, hopefully its a slug shooter too
