SOLD: To @DeathWizard (Mark Miller)

Centercut tuned .22 caliber Taipan Mutant standard CZ barrel, Wika pressure gage, accessory picatinney rail, UTG soft case, DonnyFL 1/2"x20 adaptor, four magazines. Excellent condition. Very nice wood grain stock, the nicest Taipan I've seen...

Rings (UTG AccuSync) and Scope (30mm tube Bushnell Engage 4-16x44) not included, but will add to gun for $275 additional - sighted in with 45 yard zero.
Asking $1075 shipped to CONUS. Can be picked up in the San Diego area for $1025. PAYPAL F&F preferred. I have great feedback on AGN - no worries.

Gun is super accurate, and has been tuned to shoot the 18.1 JSBs at 900 FPS, or about 32 FPE. I've head shot ground squirrels out to 95 yards, and routinely shoot <1/2" five shot groups at 50 yards. It also shoots the 22.5 grain Varmint Knocker slugs as accurately at 50 yards as the 18.1 grain JSB pellets. This gun is very reliable, and the only maintenance I have done is change out the inner and outer barrel o-rings, and clean the barrel and gun about once every 500 rounds.

Did I mention the trigger? In a word - AWESOME! If you don't think this trigger is one of the best two stage triggers you've ever felt, you must have a seriously expensive taste in super high end guns. The trigger is every bit as good as my RAW TM1000 and my FWB 601 10M target rifle.

OK then, if this gun is so great, why am I selling it? Hell, thats the first question I would ask. Yeah smart-ass, if your Mutant is so freakin awesome, WTF are you selling it?

It turns out that I already have my .22 Cricket mini Carbine for hunting, and my .22 FX Crown for benchrest. So the Mutant gets to sit in the gun safe without the TLC it deserves. Its a very close toss up between the Cricket and the Mutant, but I like the Carbine format better than the bull pup, so the Cricket wins by a nose, for me. Any questions, PM me on here...

AccuSync one piece rings (FDE color). This is not the Bushnell Engage 4-16x44 scope, its a Discovery scope I was testing...

I think these were six shot groups, but definitely 50 yards. .22 caliber pellet for reference.

Georgia Airguns test sheets. I increased the speed a bit to 900 FPS with 18.1 grain JSB. Still gets 60 shots per fill to 250 bar.
