Comments, sure. Trolling, no, and there is a difference.
I wasn’t upset by the ugly comments or any of the opinions such as you are expressing above. It’s clear that you and other Taipan fans were put off by the Tactical’s appearance. That’s common any time a manufacturer introduces a new and radically different model. Consider the firestorm when Daystate introduced the Pulsar, a HUGE deviation from their traditional line and, along with its slightly less radical half brother, the first and last Daystate Bullpup. The Tactical may be like the Pulsar if the Taipan buyers vote with their pocketbook and sales reflect that. If the model sells well, the Tactical may stay in the line and eventually have descendants.
However, the repetition of the same comments over and over just to get a rise out of the readers is trolling. I’m new to this group but as an old fart who has spent a far amount of time on a number of other groups with my other interests, I have seen too many groups where the free exchange of good information gets lost in the clutter of trolling. I have learned a lot by reading the majority of the postings here and the exchange of information I have found is invaluable. The trolling that has surfaced in this thread is another story.
Well now that that is off my chest I see the Sun just came out here so I’m out to see how the Tactical shoots.

I have one showing up here in the next couple days hopefully… a tactical veteran 2 also in .22, synthetic stock, 700mm barrel.Well I have one in .22 with the green 2-piece stock and the 700mm barrel and it is damn accurate. It does very well with the 23.95g JSB Jumbo Monster RDs and it loves the 23.95g KO .218s. And the trigger is fantastic with the only one better (IMHO) is my Red Wolf. And it's on sale at talontunes!
Honestly to me the bottle I don’t mind because it just means more shots between fills, the massive stocks with the hand cutouts I just can’t stomach.….give me an ar15 style grip and something to put on my shoulder and I’m happy. The big clunky slabs of wood just don’t do it for me.
I’m not a bullpup fan either, but I sure like what I’ve heard about taipan’s accuracy and quality. So it was a reputation based buy for me. Hopefully there’s no major disappointment.
