Mine is a .22. Here’s a 5 shot group at 30 yards. Please forgive the flyer, bad trigger pull on my part.

Have you done the skeleton yet? Need pics! I will need an extra stock if I keep it, mine came with some imperfections, and I want to get rid of the side rails.

You did an excellent job on that butt plate. Very nice indeed. I was looking at the buttpad on mine and wondering how it’s removed? Is it glued on?

Exactly why mine eventually got sold and I went with a Compatto and FX Wildcat. Both perfect for my Southpaw shooting.

Based on previous discussion of heavy pellets, I took out the .22 JSBs in 34gr and did a little shooting. Further testing is needed, but here is what I came up with after doing a bit of hammer adjustment. x5 Shots at 30 yards.
POA was the corner I am pointing to, the first shot is the “Flyer” the other 4 went right into the same hole.
***EDIT****
Please forgive me as I think this is not correct. I think this was the JSBs 25. Will post further testing below.

OK. So I just did a little testing of most, not all, of my pellets in .22. See results below. All shot groups are x3 @ 30 yards. It’s been gusting a bit here, all pellets unsorted from the tin.
The H/N Barracudas in coper just blew me away. Not one flyer, all dead center. The CPHPs also performed great.

I've had a lot of luck with those Baracuda Power 21.14 grain (copper plated) in several other guns. They don't get chew up in rough barrels. Great info. Thanks!

i tried all barracuda match sub-calibers and i chose the 5.51 because of the groups i did..... but get surprised when i recorded a slow motion group and it was a nice group but 7 out of 10 pellets made spirals..... when i move the target from 30 to 50 meters, it was disgusting.......

Didnt one of the H&N baracuda hit a bit low between 21and 14? could be just me due to my eyes.

Yes! Somehow I missed that. I will do further testing with the best ones I found and shoot 5-10 instead of 3. Nice catch.

LIKES ( will update )
Magazine: Simple, no spring, no loading pellets backwards, no moving parts. Deep!, I can load the H/N Hornets or Predator Polymags Regulars no problem.
Quiet: Shroud is very effective, almost no discernible difference without the moderator.
Trigger: I’m not a trigger snob, but most people, including notable tunners, rave about it’s trigger.

DISLIKES (will update)
Stock: Most agree that it’s not the be looking thing out there. Buttpad is glued on (boo!)
Lever: Sitting all the way in the rear of the gun, it makes for a less than desireable cocking option.

Update on my Taipan Veteran: Been playing with the idea of selling, mostly to fund another rather large purchase, so I was doing some testing for a potential buyer. Below find some of the results. Will update as I can.
Filled gun to 250 Bar. Just finished shooting it down to roughly 95 Bar. Got 75 accurate shots. After that POI started shifting. Now, some of those shots were on the Chrony, most not. So I don't know what speeds it kept throughout the whole fill, besides, I was playing with the hammer spring here and there. I can tell you that a 3 shot string of AAs 16 Gr went out at 777, 777, 776 and all three into the same hole at 30.
As part of this potential sale, it was suggested by the other party that my barrel was not an authentic CZ barrel (will post separately on that) I'm no expert on airguns, so all I could do is some homework and realize that my barrel is in fact a CZ. And if it were not to be, I would love to find out who makes them, cause, DAMN! this thing is spot on.

Funny thing is, as I was testing, I was like “Yeah, maybe I should keep it” just been feeling guilty for all I’ve spent recently. That and want to save up for a MacDaddy compressor, a Leshiy, and another Springer.
