Title: Taipan Veteran long received today
Post by: redcobra04 on August 30, 2019, 10:48:24 PM
Got my Taipan Veteran Long in .25 today with brown laminated stock.
I know no pics or it didn't happen. Scope came today but no rings until next
Wednesday. Have to change from left hand to right cocking lever. Has Donny Fl power adjuster. Its a awsome looking package.

Andrew, congratulations! Taipans are arguably considered the PCP with the least amount of issues out of the box and long term ownership! And, that includes laser like accuracy, oodles of power and shot count as you already know! So, enjoy! Pics too please 😉👍.

If i could figure out how to post i would. I got a SWFA 10x scope scope
and Burris 30 mm rings with the inserts to adjust the scope coming on Wednesday. Like a kid waiting on Christmas. Cant try it out til next Saturday.
Been trying to find one since January.

Congratulations!  To get an equal ownership experience in the future you will have to spend 2X the money.  They are that good!  And that trigger.  Taipans ruin it for people as far as shooting anything else even near it in its price range.  They come tuned pretty darn good out of the box too!  Caution:  Mine was shooting MOA out of the box, and like an idiot I went messing with it.  Needless to say I did not improve its performance.  Please consider shooting it a couple thousand rounds before you go fiddling with it.  I wish I had.

Please post up your groups.  Would love to see them.

Congratulation on the purchase- the Taipans in general are just about the least-complained-about brand of PCPs I'm aware, and you'll be extremely hard-pressed to find threads about end-user problems.

Andrew, I'm just up Route 10 from you in North Chesterfield.  Maybe this Fall we can get together and fling some lead.

Congrats on your new Veteran. I think you will  really like it.
 I sure would like to get a grey laminated stock for mine.
I shot mine the other nite and group after group was ten shots under a dime at 62 yards.
Unbelievably quiet for the power.
I bought mine used and haven't touch a thing on it. Perfect as is.
