I haven't acutally tested it yet, was just trying to see where I could stick the filter. I don't like where it is currently. I also read about not putting the magnets on the case next to the inverter. Probably will build a little cart for the compressor with the compressor on the bottom and...

I've never heard that there's anything wrong with shooting below the reg, but, what do I know. Probably wont do it again, just seeing how many shots in the 915's I could get. But, that's something to watch out for. I usually refill around 150 bar anyways. And yes, loving the Vet II tactical...

Got mine today. Not sure how well it will work with the CS3i since I try to only run my pump for about 4 mins so heat doesn't build up. The filter is going to add some time to my fills for sure. Might be time to upgrade to a CS4.

Took out the Vet II Tactical (550mm) today to do a shot count. I've been shooting this since end of March 2025, bought brand new from TalonAirguns. I've been shooting ZAN 20gr .218 and H&N 21gr .218 slugs between 890-900. Both of these slugs are very accurate even at lower speeds of 900...

Earthtone colors would look cool, like a splatter camo job. Not my cup of tea, but it's not my gun.

I would watch as many videos as possilbe. There are quite a few out there. Take your time and either take pictures as you go or video, this way if you need to go back and figure out how something was taken apart or if something is out of place when it's put back together, you have reference...

Ordered placed, thank you!

Placed an order with Jeff at Trenier, he's probably the fastest shipper out there for a small business. Been buying ammo for years from him, not a lot, but enough to keep my shooting habit going. He follows up with emails and tracking info almost immediately. If there any issues at all, he...

Nope, only filling to around 230-240 bar, but thanks for the tip Pfddi. I recieved the gun empty which I thought was odd. I've bought many PCPs over the last 20 years, never once did I get one empty, so I figured it had a slow leak. I think I read one of your posts where this had happened to...

Balistol works fantastic for protection. Just spray a little on a clean lint free cloth and wipe down the exterior and clean the barrel. Just do a visual inspection and make a judgement call. I think Taipan is just saying take care of your awesome new gun and it will take care of you.

Such a timely post. I have a brand new Taipan Veteran 2 tactical 550mm, I had the same exact problem! 2 problems actually, but this one really bothered me. I did the exact thing you did (Archdesigner03) with adjusting the second stage tension as well as the engagement, didn't do squat, but it...

Ranchibi and Pfddi, thanks so much for the responses. My initial thought was to get the tube version, but I think I might like the bottle version for the shot count and I would only plan to fill to 250. I fill my Airmaks Katran to 250 even tho it says 300. 80-90 shots is plenty and I plan on...

Pfddi, if you dont mind me asking, what kind of shot count are you getting with the 550mm? I'm interested in buying one and wondering is it worth buying the tactical over the standard tube. I've got a Vet 1 .25 standard and looking for a Vet 2 .22. Thanks. BTW, i'm interested in the exact...

I agree. I don't have any on hand, but it was something that I'm considering ordering if I do another version. Thanks for the input.

retirement life is boring, I need to go back to work.🤣
