Taipan Veteran standard vs long

I have the Veteran Long .25 and it's quite quiet with factory shroud internals at OAL 32"

For comparison... my BSA R10.22 is 44"

That's a HUGE 12" difference and the Taipan Long is still short enough to plink from my car when it's raining.

Go with the long in .25!!!

Gotta agree here. Yes it is called the "Long" but it's not very long, only long in relation to the Standard and Short. 

I can maneuver and shoot my Long from within my shooting blind much easier than any other traditional sporter I've tried.

Same here! My Taipan Long ONLY looks big if it's sitting next to my RTI Performance compact at 25". Both are SHORT.
