What did you do airgun related today.

It was actually last night, but I mocked a bipod mount for my Taipan Vet 2. I also like to shoot it off of a bench rest set up, so I didn’t want to just screw a picatiny rail or a sling attachment to the stock where it would be in the way. I did the mock up using a piece of 1/2” wide x 1/8” thick piece of flat bar thst I had laying around and it’s a little springy. Now that I proved the concept, I have ordered some 1/2”x 1/2” and 1/2”x 5/8” aluminum bar stock. The homemade jig and a trim router did a great job of inletting the stock.

That's looking mighty fine!

Well not airgun related, but airgun compressor related.

Bought a trolley so it is more easy to get compressor in and out for filling ( now that is is powered by a gasoline engine )

I can lift the compressor alright, but i am quite sure my doctor would advise against me doing so.
This way it is easy mobile, and not least for my friend that house the compressor, and who is much worse off than i am.

Put on ANOTHER scope. :mad: Finding a good scope for my Gamo 10x .22 cal is never ending, same for my RWS 350.
I'll get dime sized groups at 25 yards for about 2-300 rounds, then the pellets start drifting all over the place.
Hammer, centerpoint, BSA, etc etc etc. All eventually fail.
If all the scope are failing, then the problem isn't the scope, but the gun itself...those break barrels in particular are know to break scopes as the double recoil is too harsh unless you get the anti recoil scope mounts.
 
Modified a Sinclair clamp onto bench spotting scope stand. My scope has an angled eyepiece and with it mounted direct to the stand the eyepiece is horizontal to the ground and not convenient for me I got a piece of 1/4" thick angle aluminum, drilled and tapped a hole for it , then on the side that is now sticking out, mounted an Arca QD base for a camera, scope or whatever. Works great, with those Arca bases on my big tripod, and the proper plate on the scope I can move it about according to my need.

Thank you! Hopefully I get the aluminum bar this week, so I can finish it up next weekend. Now I just have to pick out a nice bipod. The one in the pic is a cheap UTG with a ton of slop in tne legs.
I'm rooting for ya bud, that could change the game for new taipan to come with your build!
