Taipan Taipan Veteran 2 Tactical 500 mm cal 0.22

I just got the same gun from Tony with the 700mm barrel. It put the 25.4s in the same hole at both 25 and 50 yards at the range. I switched over to JSB KOs in the same weight and it was shooting better than me at 100 yards. For grins, I put some 18.1g pellets in it and whoa did the speed go up as well as the sound - all over 1000fps. I have the 25.4s at about 960, but I have the unchoked barrel. I'm ordering the 550mm barrel to swap out so I'm watching this thread closely!
Interesting. I'm considering doing the same thing. Would installing a shorter barrel make the moderator get in the way of air tank? Also, sounds like 700 version has a 75 cc plenum (which is supposedly better for slugs), whilst the 550 version does not.
