So the accuracy is really good with many pellets, how about some pictures of groups with different pellets?
i have been leaning heavily towards a 22 veteran shorty

Why no taipan veteran reviews
- Thread starter Makoda
- Start date
Since Taipan use CZ barrels in their .22 models, why don't they use them in their .25? Curious.

Matt, what model Leupold is that top scope? Is one of those a .25? Good stuff.

Those are awesome!!!
Where do those mag holders come from?
James from Michigan,
Hey James
I made those for my personal Taipans.
If I ever get the time I will do a run of them for other people.

The brown one on top is a .25 with a Leupold Mark AR MOD 1 4-12x40mm scope.
Awsome glass. I highly recommend it.

I just bought a .22 Taipan Veteran in Long configuration from Talon Tunes. It's my second PCP airgun, it's sibling is a Bantam Brocock Beech 400 in .25. Man, am I impressed with the Taipan.
The trigger is absolutely amazing - I am a powder burner who recently started into the PCP game so that I can shoot out my backyard, and I put a high value on triggers - this one rocks.
It slings the .22 pellets out there. Right now it's set to shoot the .22 18 grain Diabolo at ~930 for, and it hammers. I got a second and third round hit at my steel target at 200 yards with the little 18 grainers. No issues hitting any of the targets I have set out there (120, 150, 170 & 200 yards). Those little pellets hit the steel with authority, and quite honestly, this little .22 seems to outperform the .25 Brocock at distance.
This thing is quiet! I bought a DonnyFL Sumo for it, but with the shrouded barrel it's not necessary for backyard shooting. The Sumo does take it one notch quieter though - insane how quiet it is. It's just "click" - "PING" (as the pellet slaps the steel target).
It's high quality as well. It's a well built machine. Quite honestly, it does everything better than the Brocock. Trigger is insanely better, it's much more quiet (Brocock has a Ronin), shot count is about 4-5x more, has more power, etc. Besides being cheaper, the Brocock doesn't do anything better than the Taipan.
It makes me want to sell my Brocock now. Wish I bought a Taipan first.

Bill made me some awesome magazine holders for my Taipan veterans and Mutant as well as my Crickets this last summer. He can be contacted at [email protected]. There is a lot of information about them at TalonTunes forum in the Taipan veterans section some pages back.

That stinks. He made me some plastic ones and they are nice. Maybe someone soon will make them.
I have a 22 Mutant std, 22 veteran compact, 25 Veteran compact, and 25 veteran std. Taipan addiction for sure.
A TalonTunes member wrote an in depth review over there for the Taipan mutants when they first came out. He goes by the name Endothelium. It's several pages back in the Taipan Mutant/ Veteran pages. Extremely informative and pushed me to buy these Taipans.

They are all very accurate and almost go through the same hole at 30 yards. The 22 mutant std is the most quiet at 880 fps for the 18gr JSBs.
The 22 veteran compact is set at 825fps for the 18gr JSBs. The 25 veteran compact is at 880fps for 25.4 JSBs. The 25 veteran std I have am going to slightly enlarge the transfer port to get the 34gr JSBs to atleast 900fps. This is an Ernest mod.
I like them all and rotate them as needed.

Trust,
For the record, Bizill told me that he didn’t make much money on the magazine holders, but basically made them to aid other shooters. THAT is commendable.
It obviously takes time, which we all know, is limited for the working world. Understandable.

Bizzil was great to work with and I totally understand him not making them anymore.
He is a busy man. I was trying to help him out if he wanted the extra work but haven't been in contact with him since summer.

Mat’s mag holders look real sweet. I did not know Bizzil had stopped making the either. Thanks for heads up.

Anyone have the Veteran long in .25? I shot it at Utah airguns and it is awesome! Best trigger I've ever pulled, and I own the mk2 in .30 and impact x in .30
It was shooting the mk2's at like 960 fps! Wonder how it handles slugs??
