Taipan listened.

Michael, might as well start a special sub forum page for the classifieds for used Taipans. The good news is all the guys shooting budget PCP’s will now be able to enjoy a Taipan on the cheap.

Maybe it is just the gripping portion of the cocking lever, but it appears to be very similar to that of the R5M/Lelya. Hopefully not, as that would not be the best one to emulate (at least not in my opinion).

Forward cocking? The placement looks a little odd/low in that photo, but THIS is exciting nonetheless.

Hummm Taipan/ Airmak Arms cross never would have thunk't. My Taipans already at there for ever home.

Looking at it, I think its genius , it looks as though the action remained essentially the same just flipped upside down (just thinking in my head here), if they continued with their robust manufacturing and parts used then I can't see much issue with it.
I also find having it that close to the trigger to be an even bigger bonus, everything the company did with the previous veteran was extremely well thought out , I would have a hard time believing they would sacrifice that.

Still missing external regulator adjustment and bottle. Front cocking alone is not enough for me to upgrade.

I'd like to see it disassembled, or a view from the other side. It appears they might have adopted a much less substantial barrel attachment design. No single design pleases everyone. If you must have forward cocking, I would prefer that the lever was not so close to the trigger, and that the stock cutout allowed action removal without having to first remove the lever. If it's for real, I'm a bit surprised.

Yeah, I'm a huge fan of bottle guns, but not every gun needs to be one. Bullpups in particular are great cylinder candidates, unless you're gonna run a long enough barrel to match up with a bottle out front.

I am excited to see how they perform and peoples thoughts, I won't be one of the first owners regardless of the fact that its my favorite manufacturer of airgun to date. Need to see some test runs from the unpaid people

Definitely don’t plan on dumping my old one, but for sure plan on giving one a whirl when all the bugs are worked out.

They need to make a tactical version. Otherwise I can't give this one up
If they do, and taipan is listening, if possible please make the grip AR compatible.
