So after hearing so much about these rifles I finally took the plunge to see what all the hoopla was about. For the shooting I do which is about 95% in my backyard or a Field Target course I wanted the Taipan Vet in .177!
My initial thoughts were how solid this.rifle feels...probaly due to the compact nature of a bullpup but the feel of everything just feels solid and right! I'm I'm talking about the cocking...trigger..shot cycle and.how quiet it is right out of the box. The laminate stock I got looks good as well and I quickly added a few things to meet my needs better.
Since most of my shooting is from a bum bag in the Field Target position I needed to add a front rail which I can then attach a hamster to. I found my preferred rail a anschutz rail at Mac 1 and was half off at $15. I had to cut about an inch of it off and.installed it under the forend so I can attach a hamster or bipod to. The second thing I did was to take off the rubber buttpad and install a rail so I can use a butthook while shooting Field Target. Both were easy installs and give me.the options I need when shooting field target.
Initially I put a Hawke 2-7x compact scope on it but will soon change this to something with more magnification. The hawke is fine for general airgun use but I definately need more magnification for shooting groups at 50 yards. I have only sighted this rifle in and was a one shot group at 25 yds so initial accuracy meets my expectations but the real test is when I stretch it out to 50yds.
I also added a aftermarket hammer spring adjustment screw which makes it quick and easy to adjust the hammer spring.
My initial thoughts on this rifle are very positive but I haven't had the chance to really get behind the trigger...these are just initial thoughts. So there will be more coming in a few days about it's accuracy...hopefully it will shoot 1/2" groups at 50yds.
I got this rifle from Talon Tunes and was on a pre order list for this standard .177. Tony was great to work with and adjusted the trigger to his likeing....I plan on shooting this at 20ft lbs with JSB 13.4 monsters. I also have this same exact rifle with a gray laminate stock that has been stuck in customs. When it gets released I'll be selling it if anyone is looking
. Pm me if your interested.
