I own and shoot regularly four Taipan type one's, Two standards one Mutant standard and most recently a compact Veteran, all in
22 cal. All the standards were included in my thread of a few months ago, "Why I like Taipan Veterans." With groups ect. My Taipan ownership began in '18 and to current date no issues with any of them...just outstanding service! Each Taipan platform I aquired seems to be better than the previous one...I was convinced the Mutant standard was the best of breed until I got this compact in a trade. Want to focus on the compact as I haven't written much about it. Been in process of familiarization testing pellets holding and shooting the shorter platform. I sincerely regret I did not discover the compact Vet platform until late in my "airgunning shooting career" so to speak, starting over today I would get three compacts in all three calibers and call it a day...Their harder to find now that their discontinued especially the .177's...I greatful to have ONE! My compact is fed JSB and JTS 18"s to 835-840fps, not sure of shot count 50ish isn't an
issue considering the way this thing shoots...the JTS 18"s especially, far exceed my expectations. The compact is a little tricker to hold and shoot but .5 pounds lighter than the standards...I will post a few groups All at 47.5 measured yards all shot nonbenched. The small five shot groups were JTS 18's the 10 shot was JSB 18's. The main reason for this post isn't to show off nice groups but to encourage folks to get these type one Taipans while their still around....the way their built and the way they shoot
..AND those triggers. I don't know if I'll keep all four...but I may, as their just such good airguns.
