Other Best slug gun this day

[JorgeyBE]

hey,


I want to buy a new weapon but am unsure between a few airguns.
I really want sub moa at 100m.

I'm hesitating between the following airguns;

- epic one 550mm
- taipan vereran II 550mm (tactical or normal one)
- any RTI (maybe p3, mora is like to heavy I think)


If you have any suggestions, please let us know
no FX, I'm not a fan of this

thanks

I have a Taipan Veteran Tactical 2 .22 and it shoots light slugs like the AVS 20gr @ 930fps very accurately. If you mainly want a slug gun, you would probably have to increase the reg pressure from the factory 135 bar to over 150 bar for heavier slugs for the 550. The 700mm has much more power out of the box because of the longer barrel and larger 72cc plenum and it is probably more efficient with air, just easier power to push slugs especially heavier ones. But if you want a more compact PCP then go with the 550, I absolutely luv mine. I heard the Epics come from the same factory as Taipan but not positive. The Mora is a slug built gun and so is the Karma Red Panda along with the Taipans all with non choked barresls, the Taipans have a CZ non choked barrel. The Taipans have excellent triggers. You couldn't go wrong with any on your list.

I have 2 slug guns, both FX, but when I was shopping around, the AGT vulcan came up a lot, for this type of use. You might check those out too!
I also shoot slugs from my k1, but its not quite moa. the fx ones are. I LOVE my taipan, but its an older mutant with a choked barrel and only shoots pellets. Taipan makes WONDERFUL guns!

is the plenum of the 700 a lot bigger than the 550 it looks like you can’t find a lot of info about the taipan airguns

The 700mm Vet2 has a 72cc plenum installed (makes the air tube longer) but the 550mm is unstated....I have seen the regulator on the 550mm removed plus the plenums spacer (a tube that fits inside the air tube) and it is smaller than the 700's, looks about 50cc's from my guesstimate. You can still get a lot of power from the 550, you just need to up the reg pressure. People with the .25 550mm barrels are shooting 25gr pellets over 900fps on stock power so I am guessing the reg is set close to 150 bar from the factory.

First I would lower your expectations to 2moa at 100m when using slugs. I think your list is a good start, and would add the AGT line. A lot of people have had great luck shooting slugs through the Uragan and Vulcans.

i have had a impact mk2, m3, vulcan 3, uragen 2, huben k1, edgun 450mm, wildcad mkIII, airmaks Krait ect (all sluggers)
the best for me was the vulcan and huben both sub moa, just searching for another one i think i am gonne go with the taipan II 700 mm .25
the problem with the impacts is that you buy a gun and you instandly need to buy a lot of othere parts to shoot slugs well... dont want that anymore

thanks, to sad that taipan doesn't provide that info

Yes, I emailed them and they only responded with the 700mm 72cc plenum volume without answering the 550mm plenum volume. One would have to measure the plenums spacer volume to figure that out.
