You Can Only Have One

[2manyAirGunz]

I am currently in possession of a variety of PCPs (my better-half says I have too many). If for some ungodly reason I found myself limited to just one airgun, my choice would be my Taipan Mutant .22 cal. 

I shoot this gun everyday (target-shooting and pest control). At 31 FPE -- pushing the JSB 18.1 grain pellets @ 880 fps-- this one is quiet and deadly accurate. It is my first choice for wayward bird feeder-raiding pests. 

Bought used off the classifieds, bone stock (not counting the DonnyFL moderator and hammer spring adjuster) -- i.e. no mods -- this one is a keeper.

I have to acquire just a few more PCPs before I can settle on the one. But yes that Mutant is looking sweet.

I'd take the Impact for the simple reason that you can have so many different configurations

That’s a question I ask often. I think my answer depends on what I ate for breakfast, lunch or dinner. I’m all over the place. Also depends on the weather that day. Ha ha ha!

pcp, right now, would be my Streamline 22 shooting 890ish with 18.1 jSB. Cool part about the SL is the 3 position power wheel. Low for super quiet plinking with lots of shot. Crank to high and have fun stretching its legs out.


spring gun would be the R9 in 22.


overall I would have to choose a spring gun. I have pretty basic needs with an air rifle and if I’m honest with myself anything more isn’t really necessary.

HW95...for me it would have to be a springer



If it has to be a PCP, it would probably be a gun I don’t own like a Edgun Leshiy classic (for backpacking). Currently, I have my Talon-p for backpacking, but those Russian guns and some Vodka on top would make me happy. How ‘bout that?

It would probably be a FWB300s for me based on superlative accuracy with boring regularity and trigger and quietness and ease of cocking and shooting all day long without any fatigue.

Gota be the Crown. Super refined. Exceedingly accurate. Hush quiet. Perfectly balanced. Supurb shot count. Fantastic feel. Also featherweight for its size.

2manyAirGunz, you must have read my mind. I was about to post the same topic and request feedback asking the same question. But the scary part is that I was about to say my all time favorite PCP is a........drumroll, please!........Taipan Mutant .22. I've owned a lot of PCPs and this remains my favorite after owning it for at least 5 years. It is deadly accurate, it isn't pellet picky, it has the best trigger in the business, and it doesn't need tweaking to shoot accurately. Oh, I forgot to mention it is the quietest PCP I've ever owned. The only adjustments I've ever made were to the hammer spring tension recently after purchasing an FX chronograph. Mine is switched to a left hand lever. I've got Papy_Yosh's delrin cheek rest and biathlon lever extension and a Michal Osyda walnut stock in factory configuration. Some people don't like the aesthetics of the Taipan stock but handling one makes that concern go away. I wouldn't change the factory stock shape one bit.

excellent choices so far, mine is the vet long.

Tie between Taipan Veteran standard .22 and Daystate Huntsman Regal .177 would have to flip a coin...glad this is just a hypothetical question!!!

 

[ghoststalker]

Wow you guys have me rethinking an edgun matador purchase. Maybe it should still be a tripan, if and when they ever get them in. 

 

[douger]

My bobcat 25 cal is amazing also the daystate wolverine super grade 22 regal 177 is amazing little gun 

 

[thumper]

HW100 in .177

And HW100 in .22

I like Yo's choice of 300's. I prefer the -same style only high end single stroke pneumatics. Their extreme spread is sooo low, I use them to test my chronograph.

My best pistol is a Morini electronic trigger. Best of the best pistol grips. Available in small,med,large. Competitors 10 meter mfg sell their pistols equipped with Morini grips.

I presently have my Morini with 6.5 -20 scope. I shoot Vogel wadcutters. In basement shooting at 50 feet is actually boring because I get perfection accuracy from this pistol.

My 10 meter rifles are Anshutz 2002 and Feinwerkbaugh 603, single stroke.

 

[Bigragu]

My 90 ft lb Wildcat MK2 30 cal shown, or my 25 cal WC MK2. Tough choice between those two. With the 30 cal pellets getting scarce these days, I’d probably stay with the 25 cal if I could only have one.

To the OP, I have a .22 Veteran tuned exactly as your Mutant. As you, I shoot it almost daily, and it is a terrific rifle. I have a HW100, also. 22 that I consider its equal. 

 

[dodge3500]

Easy answer for me,my .25 WAR Flex.

 

[Ranchibi]

Defiantly my RAW HM1000x LRT Chassis in .22... shoots pellets and slugs with stoopid accuracy with its Martin massaged, Steve of Pomona Airguns barrel polish, non choked poly barrel.

Another Taipan .22 Long here.
