I currently have a .22 Taipan Veteran with a LW barrel. Most of the shootings I do are within 50 meters and I prefer to use pellets at those distances. However, I also occasionally want to target practice at longer distances, probably up to 100 meters and I want to use slugs or hybrids for those. I've read at least a few comments from people saying that their Veteran with LW barrels are also very accurate with slugs or hybrids.
With that said, I've also been curious about the CZ pellet barrels and I've been thinking of trying to find one for my Veteran long. However, the tight choke that makes the CZ barrels so accurate with pellets seem to work against them when it comes to slugs. I don't recall seeing anyone comment positively about the slug performance of the Veteran/Mutant with a CZ barrel. This is in regards to the .22 caliber. I'm aware that there is a CZ slug barrel for the Veteran but I do not want a dedicated slug barrel for the few occasions I plan to shoot slugs.
My question is, is it worth sacrificing slug accuracy to gain a slight improvement in pellet accuracy going from the LW to the CZ barrel? To be frank, I do not have any complaints with the pellet accuracy of the LW barrel that I have. I'm just curious to try with what people are saying about the CZ barrels.
