I just got a Taipan Veteran from RL Airguns (2 days old). I ordered the short version in .22. It's really short, But it does have some heft to it. So far I like it. It's relatively quiet. Not super silent but quiet enough to do some short shooting sessions in a typical San Diego neighborhood. I had a Condor SS and that was definitely louder at the medium power setting. I also had a Hatsan Flash Bullpop. I think the TV is a little quieter. Not 100% on this, but that's what I remember... they are close anyway. I am planning on putting a DonnyFL Tatsu in the near future. Now as far as accuracy, I have only put in a few rounds on the TV so far, the TV seems definitely more accurate than the CSS or the Flashpop. I know I know not in the same class because of regulator and price etc... but I'm just saying : ). The trigger on the TV is very nice. The TV has that built like a tank feel to it. Although the CSS and Flashpop are also both built well IMO... except for the Flashpop stupid magazines. They are bad or at least they where when I bought mine.... : ).
Enough rumbling (too late ? LOL) ... but to answer OPs question... I like the short version so far. But I think I will like the standard version too. Specially with the added benefit of more power. Definitely not the long version for me. It kind of defeats the purpose of a bull-pop IMO. But my short TV will turn into a standard length once I get the DonnyFL Tatsu on it : ). TV seems to be a really good airgun no matter what length you decide or prefer. Good luck and let us know what you end up with and maybe give us your thoughts on it.
