Question about Taipan Veteran TP

[Motorhead]

If barrels dirty, start there. 
Also check the LDC for alignment by shining a bore light at the breech while looking down bore from the muzzle.  Make sure the bore & lights refraction passes from barrel threw LDC being centered.

If these issues are too much for your ability and wish to have these issues looked at .... Well, guessing we may have destiny to get that gun looked at & tweaked on some.

Dude, cut the patch smaller until it goes down the barrel, clean it and get on with it.  Put 500-1000 pellets through it, then get back with this community.

Ah, @$%^. I'm an idiot, aren't I? Will update today.

I'm fairly confident in my abilities, so I'll hop to it. But if destiny is destiny.

It is a fine gun.  A Czech Taipan, I am told, has a "Select" LW barrel rather than a CZ barrel, in any caliber.  And, possibly, a MUCH nicer stock.  Scott is right, adjust the trigger and go have fun.  I shot some sub MOA groups with mine about this time last year and like a fool I went fiddling with it and I degraded the performance.  I luckily reversed that according to the documentation I kept and got it back to pretty much how it came from the factory...other than the trigger settings.  Those factory guys knew a lot more about its optimal performance than I did.  Taipan lesson learned. 

Shoot some 30 and 50 groups now and save them, then shoot some more after about 750 pellets through it.  I'd like to see both groups!

I've got the Stihl Wood Boss in the foyer without the chain on it.  The perfect finishing touch to my wife's Halloween porch decorating. Every time I get a knock on the door I crank it up and rev it a few times, then answer the door.  Don't know if these kids will come back next year...

This thread at least answered the barrel manufacturer question for me.  My Taipan veteran .22 arrived from Utah Airguns in late September.  They shipped it as soon as they got them in.  I heard a rumor from another place that used to sell them that Taipan could no longer get CZ barrels.  They said that Taipan is a small fish compared to CZ's other vendors.   I got my rifle and am real happy.  The rifles only limitation is me and my poor eyesight.  The range I shoot at has 20 minute cycles.  After firing a dozen shots at the bullseye, I got bored and decided to start shooting at the small numbers on the target.  I clipped every one of them.  The range master was looking over my shoulder and asked what I was doing.  When I told him he was amazed that air rifles could be that accurate.  I really don't care what manufacturer the barrel is from.  This rifle is a keeper.
