Hi I recently purchased a taipan veteran from talon tunes. I'm curious if there is any benefit to to 700mm barrel without the power plenum?

MORE SHOTS WITH THE PLENUM AND POWER REG WILL HAVE TO BE SET DEPENDING ON WHAT KINDA POWER YOU PLAN TO SHOOT LEAVE IT STOCK IF YOU JUST GONNA SHOOT PELLETS FOR AIR TUBE IS SHORT FOR SILENCER

When I replaced an OEM barrel on my Taipan vet long (546mm, I believe) with a 700mm barrel, the velocity increased noticeably with no other tuning changes.
I've also added power plenums to my Vets and gotten increased shot count. However, I opted to increase the regulator pressure and the hammer spring tension for more power; this power increase cuts into the shot count.
For me, the longer barrel and power plenum compliment each other for increased efficiency of the rifle.

Just shoot it the way it is for a few months and then decide if you want to change anything. They really are great straight out of the box.

Thanks for the advice fellas. It does shoot great. Does not seem to like any of my H&N stock. I want to try the RDM but i can't find them In-stock. It shoots the hades great out the box though

I got the "long" in coffee laminate. It's not that long at all though. Can't imagine what the short is like lol

I have 4 tins coming of the 18.1 and 7 tin of 25.4 . I found a few 25.4 rdm I have left over in a tin and shot a tight group at 50 yards today after work. I had it cranked up until it almost would not cock

When I want to get a longer barrel I just buy a new gun with one. I set every gun the way I want it and leave it alone.

I have a Taipan Vet Long in .25 and it is just a lights out, power house right out of the box.

I here that, but everytime i change something it's a pain to dial them back in. I set my guns for certain yardage and leave them alone.

I have a .25 Taipan standard and it is perfect out of the box. I left the regulator alone and adjusted the hammer spring. Shoots the 34gr JSB pellets and slugs @ 900 fps. 30 shots and 30 inches long, hell of woods walker. Built like tank.
