What got me started with air gunning is from my father. Back in the 90's when we first moved to the United States, at the first house that my parents bought, chipmunks dug out the foundation under the concrete slab front porch. At the time, my parents didn't know anything about pests like that...

The one thing I really like about the Long (and the Veterans in general) is just how efficient it is. I tuned my .22 Long to 31 FPE with the regulator set at 90 bars. From a full 250 bar fill, it gets 100 shots on the reg. However, as this is a standby backyard varmint rifle, I never needed that...

I agree with this. The last time I've zeroed my Veteran Long was 3 years ago... Granted, the rifle is a standby backyard varmint rifle and doesn't get shot much, but still. Also, a few weeks ago, I disassembled the gun to attempt to replace the barrel with the 700mm barrel. It turned out that...

I went ahead and ordered a couple just in case. 😅 Hopefully I would never need them.

I've had my Taipan Veteran Long for 4 years now. It's discontinued and I don't know how hard it will be to find a firing valve pin for it a few years in the future. For now, they're still in stock and I'm trying to decide if I should buy one for a spare. How likely are firing pins need to be...

I watch on YouTube a Filipino airgun maker under that's self under his own brand. He also repairs airguns that people bring him. From time to time, he gets to repair some of those fake branded guns. The quality of those are terrible. The weird thing is, people who buys guns like those know...

Here is my Taipan Veteran Long in .22 with the original green laminate stock and now the tactical stock. I much prefer the look and handling of the tactical stock even though it's a pound heavier than the laminate stock.

Not so much a regret, but for me it is the Air Arms TX200. I'm not faulting the gun. Obviously, the gun's accuracy is not in question with a competition pedigree like the TX200 has... for my purposes though, and at the distances I'm shooting at, I just could not get any consistency with the...

I just wished it was an actual dual stage trigger. I believe I've seen a video or a comment a few years back that the trigger can be set too light that a bump on the buttstock will set it off. I don't have it that light (at least I don't think I do as set the trigger for hunting by feel and...

I've been using a SIG Sauer rangefinder with a version of Applied Ballistics for 5 years now and it has been extremely accurate for me. Of course you have to know your gun and projectile and enter the correct data to get good calculations. I'm using G1 for my pellet of choice in the AB app and I...

When you reassemble the gun, make sure that the trigger is in its fully rested position, turn on the safety, and then tighten the clamps.

From what I know, they're all Bluetooth and practically nothing comes with the base package. Everything is extra such as the case, tripod, mic, etc.

I want to say something on everyone's comments regarding the ease of turning the Taipan Veteran as comments like these got me when I was a newbie 4 years ago when I bought mine... If you are at all concerned with first shot (cold barrel) accuracy, you can not tune the gun properly just by...

Just an update. I installed some LED light strips on my Caldwell chronograph and it works very well. I know they sell lights meant for this but the Caldwell ones are $67. These lights were $16 from Amazon. Actually, I already have a set of Caldwell lightbars that I bought years ago (you can see...

Here is my pesting rifle; Taipan Veteran Long in .22 with the Accu-Tac PC4. The bipod is a bit weighty but I really like the functionality that the pan and cant lock completely and that there is also a separate lock lever for each. As a pesting rifle shooting out from a windowsill, I really like...

Yes, this was the one I was looking at that almost pushed me over the edge. The one directly from the Labradar website is also the same price with no tax and free shipping.

For example, the .22 Hades has a published BC of 0.026 and I think even Hard Air Magazine did a test and that's what they got. This was a few years ago when I did this but when I plugged that number into my ballistics calculator, I noticed that my shots were always hitting low. Most of my shots...

Yes, I can do that when I start getting velocities at more than 50 meters or so. If anything, I can just use an old phone to record the shots so that I don't have to see the chronograph's display from my scope. I also like the polycarbonate idea. If it's clear enough, maybe I will still be able...

Thank you for all the comments. I have taken all that was said into consideration... and I have decided to hold off purchasing anything for now. Although I think the Labradar is extremely cool, I just can't justify it with how little I plan to use it. I'm mostly a pest hunter and as such, I...

Yes maybe as those smaller units seem to be much more convenient. However, only the FX $900 USD one has the measurements down range.
