I recently bought a Taipan Veteran, standard .22 laminate. Just got a scope on it today and began playing with it. I found out long ago, if I try to justify my shooting sports purchases by need, I would own one shotgun, one RF rifle, and one air rifle. So, let's be honest, I don't need this thing. But based on an adequate retirement and more time than common sense, I consider it a keeper. It is an incredibly simple contraption, yet it has a very fine trigger design. My limited shooting so far has demonstrated excellent accuracy. So, here's the deal, it can be considered a short, fast handling carbine, but with scope it weighs almost 10.5 pounds. The trigger is very good, as also appears the accuracy potential, but neither in the top shelf match class. So, if one were to assess it in WWII criteria, what we have is an M1 carbine that weighs as much as a Garand! So, to borrow a phrase from an unknown source, we appear to have the perfect solution to a non-existent problem! It's fun to shoot, and I guess that's really the only test it needs to meet. Getting around to my question, just wondering, at what endeavors do all the bullpup owners out there find their bullpups to be superior? And if your answer is mine, that it's just fun, well, I understand.
