i just got my new Tipan Shorty .22 today from Tony at Talon Tunes ! Boy am I impressed with the over all look feel and quality of the machine work that was put into this gun. The billet aluminum magazines are a work of art and they are deeper than most to hold longer pellets. I measured .480 ins or 12.21mm. I got the brown wood colored stock.Even though it is not walnut it has a very pretty color and grain to it.The finish is a satin to semigloss. The gun feels great to hold and shoot because it is so short and light. The gun is pretty quiet in stock form but I probably will be adding a Donny FL to make it mouse fart quiet. I would definitely buy this gun again from Tony @ Talon Tunes . No association with TT just great products and service.
