    Taipan vs edgun

    It’s going to be hard to find information on Taipan parts because very few guys have needed them 😎. Maybe call the distributors and ask them.

    Taipan vs edgun

    Matt at RL Airgun was extremely helpful back when I was looking for a Taipan Veteran Long. Others will probably give you feedback from their experiences.

    Taipan vs edgun

    Someone please correct me on the following if I’m wrong...The Mutant is one generation earlier than the Veteran. I think the Mutants and early Veterans, of which I own in long, were made in the Ukrain and the newer Veterans are now made in Czechoslovakia. Taipan went through a period of time...

    Taipan vs edgun

    You’re right, the TV is way more accurate than I am. One of my favorite activities is to shoot bugs off the goldenrod which is a lasered 50 yards. I’m more successful without wind though. It won’t be long before I can get back out there and shoot. Too cold and windy now still. I’ve never had an...

    Taipan vs edgun

    Well, a couple years ago now I bought a TV Long in .22, the original with a CZ barrel and it’s the most awesome airgun I’ve ever had. It’s built like a tank with a match grade trigger. It’s quiet, and extremely accurate, Below is a photo of a 5 shot group at 20 yards. However, my normal target...

    Vulcan or veteran, owners opinions wanted!

    Not much help with the Vulcan but I have a Veteran Long in .22 and it’s dynamite. Accuracy wise, we shoot at flys and hornets at distances I’m not going to tell you because you won’t believe me. The POI never changes, the trigger has to be one of the best on the market, and this morning, I shot...

    PCP myths, truths and lies

    Interesting thread. Southern Airgunner says he can shoot his Gauntlet as accurately as his Daystate. However, he’s done a lot of work to get it to shoot like that. My stock Gauntlet shoots almost as well as my Veteran...but not quite. Maybe I’m not good enough to make them shoot equally. As...

    Scope dope...... parallax hack

    Good information! Some guys seem to use mil dots and some seem to click for vertical compensation. Until just recently, I used mil dots but changed to a scope without and now have started clicking. It appears that holdover is an easier way to go but I like this scope. I’ll have to give it a...

    Aeon scopes

    Since this is an older thread, does anyone have any more recent experience with Aeon 10-40 or 8-32? I got a 6-24 just this week and could not focus it. It’s going back but is it worth my time to try one of the higher power Aeons? I do like the trajectory reticle. Thanks.

    NEW AEON 10-50X60 ED SCOPE

    I know this is an old thread, but I’m hoping for some up to date information...is there an under $300 side focus 10-40 scope WITH a trajectory reticle that’s any good? I just got an Aeon 6-24 and it’s going back! Clarity is awful but features are great. The trajectory reticle makes sense to me...

    100yd Groups with GabeRossi's Streamline .25

    Very nice shooting. Just out of curiosity, what power scope are you using?

    We shoot aspirin tablets and also take a small branch and staple it to our backboard, then trim it until there’s nothing left. Then we shoot the staples. Great fun at 20-30 yards. Enjoy!
