Well my thoughts were I thought the gun would be alittle more different than it was. But basically it was the exact same gun but with forward cocking, a bottle, and a different barrel retention setup. Accuracy and power capabilities were the exact same. That was a miss on my part. But all good. New owner will be happy. I was just 2 guns so similar doesn't make sense to me. Again oversight on my part.I saw this topic when it started but didn’t look at it. While waiting on a PM I decided to glance over it. Because I’ve lived it many times, I think you’re looking for something with a gun. Figured how could I go wrong with a Taipan now that they have some slug hype around them. It could do almost what you want it to do by cranking it up, install a truck spring but then you might be stuck with a dumbed down pellet tune. It would be very nice to have a 21gr pellet and a 21gr slug shoot perfectly out of a gun without messing with it. But that’s rare. So my advice is if it’s not worth having a bottle hanging compared to your other favorite gun, sell it. Doesn’t mean it’s a bad gun. Just not worth keeping because it didn’t check all the boxes you wanted to check.
When I briefly wanted my Taipan to be a slug shooter, I had to go all in. It was good but I felt I was beating it up. It’s what you have to do if you don’t buy the long version of a rifle.
