Other Which 30 cal

The problem is some factions insist their opinion/experience is the only ones that matter. Everyone else needs to stop with their "incorrect" experience. And often these types do not have any time with the other options, but somehow know for sure xyz. Many of us have owned and shot both sides of the debate but for some reason dont get to offer our opinions. Not sure what it is, but team AEA has more blocked members on my account than all the others combined.

And to those that think we are all just a bunch of FX fan boys trying to get a sponser? please take some time to look at our previous posts. Some of us have been VERY critical of FX. But the hard truth is if you want a certain level of performance or features FX is still one of the best options.

People who think they’re married to their objects depress me. Lol

Yea I'm looking to get a .25 and the Karma is one of my choices but, that Taipan Slash looks nasty. Over 130 ft/lbs in .25. See I'm not a pellet shooter. You could toss me a can of AEA pellets and I'd 3 tap hacky sack kick that bitch back to you. Lol. I don't want a compact nothin. If that barrel ain't over 22in you can keep it and if I got to buy an extra barrel and hammer to shoot slugs at the same consistency and less power as my $1000 guns well.... that's a problem.

Haha stay out of my head! That taipan looks so good. I’ve been following the threads on here related to it and it’s not been the smoothest role out from what I can tell. But considering the reputation Taipan has I have no doubt they will get it sorted. That hammer less design is cool.


I’m also exclusively a slug shooter. I’ll put a tin or two of pellets through a new gun just check it out but because of the wind and terrain here is all slugs for me. I like guns that can shoot slugs without a bunch of extra($$$$) mods. I don’t wanna have to buy a barrel/liner to make it shoot slugs.

I’ve seen people having issues the EQ too as it’s new. Mostly the regulator needs a little encouragement to move haha and you gotta dry fire it a lot to get the reg to settle. Beyond that it’s mostly just been playing with different slugs to find what it likes best. All the evidence is showing that it likes them kinda heavy. With the reg at 2400psi it’ll laugh the 78gr griffins at 780.. no tuning… I got the 75gr up to 820fps already too. Not to mention the magazine is actually deep enough to hold the super long boattails.

I bought mine after they did the Trigger “fix” so I’m not sure what it was like before but it’s fine now. The first stage is short and the break is a little long? Hard to describe but it doesn’t feel heavy per se.. just that it’s kinda long to pull. I haven’t adjusted it yet because it’s forcing me to improve my trigger technique.

Beyond that I’ve got no complaints to report yet. As annoying as the reg is to adjust the standard deviations I’m seeing on the chrono are Wild… it’s more consistent than my barra and that thing will do sub MOA at 100y anytime I feel patient enough to try.

You might consider any iteration of Kalibrgun Crickets or Snipe or even a Brocock Sonoran souped up by AOA with a Sub-MOA barrel. Another is the FX Wildcat MK3 Sniper or Maverick. All available around $1500. Someone mentioned Red Panda. It's an accurate gun and upcoming in the BR circuit, but it weighs at least 17 pounds. It need wheels.

Yeah I mentioned red panda for different reasons. It’s a benchrest gun I wouldn’t hunt with it either.
