Taipan veteran 2 my thoughts

I’d like to see how that shoots the RD’s at 50 yards.

It's only 30 yards, one hole, if tony is lying to me this would be the first time. The key is the tune- just like every other gun. tuned right, drill a hole. Tony took his time going over it before shipping. waited a week, but worth it.

Great to see some familiar faces and some not. This is mine that I have at the moment. My favorite I've owned a Taipan Veteran Long .22 from Ukraine with CZ barrel. Shooting the JSB 18gr at 925fps. Also shoots the 17.5gr NSA slugs excellent. Both 5 shot groups at 50yds. Topped with an Arken SH-4 4-14x44 which is my new favorite scope.

Good stuff Marc! Forward cocking Taipan, they made a great gun even better! My only gripe with the first gen Vet was the rear cocking lever.

With the way it is designed now. It feels like a heavy maverick compact. Able to get respective speed shooting. I believe this gun will appear at some of the shooting tournaments next year.

According to the specs the Vet 2 has an un-choked barrel. Are you going to try any slugs ? Thanks.

Most definitely, my buddy Steve at AVS will slug the barrel when I see him next week.

@rangur1 - dude - awesome - thank you! I actually shot my Vet long ( .22 ) today as I hadn't used in in a bit and needless to say . . . a number of pigeons and starlings found their way into heaven. I already own two of 'em ( .177 standard and the .22 long ) and absolutely do not need a new one.

. . . . . or do I?? ( lol )

I’m thinking about getting this in .22, hard to find info on, thanks for sharing. Is the barrel threaded to allow a DonnyFL?

My Veteran 2 in 25 cal loves the FX 33.95 gr at 925 fps. Ragged hole at 30 yds. My 10 year old son was nailing 22 casings one after another at 30 yds. Gets 30 shots per fill at this tune.

I pulled the shot to the lower right. 10 shot group at 30 yards with fx 33.95 gr at 925 fps in windy conditions.

Marc, do you know have to remove the two little set screws to gain access to the inside of the moderator?
