I wanted to do a quick little write up on a gun that seems to be flying under the radar.
I bought this a couple of weeks ago, spent all week this past week shooting it and dialing it in to damn near perfection.
I have right at 1200 rounds through it now, the regulator has settled in Very nice, the best numbers to date is a 10 shot string with a spread of 5 and std. deviation of 2 shooting FX 18.13gr @ 900fps.
I ran a 20 shot string using the same pellets ended with a spread of 7 and std. deviation of 3 . All pellets right out of the tin, no special treatment.
The gun is getting 75 shots on a 250bar fill.
The trigger is one of the best, as it was in the previous version of the gun... ( as a comparison i have owned RAW guns, Feinwerkbau guns, and yes, the prior version of this gun )
We used to use a term" mouse fart quiet ", this gun IS that quiet right out of the box.
The Gun has a CZ Unchocked 1:17 Twist Barrel, 10 round simple and inexpensive mags, 20 moa upper rail, Butter Smooth Forward Side Lever (reversable) cocking, Laminate Wood Stock, Regulated, External Hammer Spring Adjustment....
Oh and did i mention it shoots the hell out of the ZAN .218 23gr slugs as good as it shoothe FX 18.1gr pellets, Cloverleaf groups you can cover with your pinky finger @ 40 yards,....
All of this for Under $1500.00
My .22 Standard with Laminate stock, 2 mags, moderator and some other extra goodies was $1425.00.. MADNESS I Tell ya...
I can name some pretty
guns out there at, and above this guns price!!! So you have read this entire post thinking wht the hell is it?
Taipan Veteran II .22, Standard.
To end this for now , I did own a Veteran Shorty, had it for years. It was one of absolute favorite guns, so I can say this New version is Every bit as good ....
It Is VERY nice to see a Great gun, Fairly priced, in todays market.. I don't know about you guys, but I have about had my fill of the
2K-3K base price guns...
