I’m kinda disappointed that Taipan didn’t include a bottom picatinny rail during the manufacturing process.

Not a deal...learn to shoot well..."free hand", like how bullpups were designed to be shot.

You will love that rifle. I have the long, but haven't put a rail on yet. Mostly freehand and bags.

Best group yet after a few beers. 35yd through a Japanese maple gap. I’m really digging this TPV. The CM3 is taking the backseat for a bit now.

What Chukar60 writes! That's how I put a rail on my FX Boss. Solid as a rock. If you want it RIGHT you're gonna have to drill.

Man, the amount of effort you put into making sure you say this anytime you see someone shooting a pup from anything but free hand could really probably be better used practicing shooting YOUR bullpups.
Talk about annoying

I got a cheap set of forstner bits and a set of plug cutters at harbor freight. I used them for concealing fasteners in handrail posts. The forstner cuts a nice clean flat bottom hole. That is a very cost effective way to get the nice counter bore like CT's pics. If you have trouble getting the t nuts, nylock or regular nuts and washers work well also. They are easily sourced at big box stores, hardware stores, and farm and home stores. I used the forstner on my Vet. I also put tape on the stock and did my layout on the tape. It gives you a chance to change your mind. Show us what you guys come up with, and don't be to disappointed in a product not coming equipped with a feature that was neither advertised nor paid for. Not everyone wants it, and removing it would leave a new stock ugly. If all else fails, send the letdown vet my way. I'll find a way to live with it

I found some MLOK adaptor plates that inlet into the stock for a smoother bottom. Figured I could mount the rail when I needed it and leave the forend smooth when not needed. Not sure I want to put my faith in a $15 thin aluminum plate to hold my $1600 taipan on a tripod. Bipod no problem.

Starting to be a big time fan boy with the TPV. Got my usual CPHP rinsed/lubed. Here’s a couple of my best groups at 55yd.
