PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Machine translated

Taipan Veteran is a textbook example of a PCP air rifle with the popular bullpup design. Although the brand’s roots go back to Ukraine, all Taipan air rifles are assembled and finished in the Czech Republic. The workmanship is at a top level thanks to precise machining of parts on modern CNC machines. The stocks are made of wood. Aircraft-grade aluminium and the highest-quality steel are used for the other parts.

The Compact version is the smallest model in the Taipan family. It is only 600 mm long, but thanks to the bullpup design it boasts an excellent 350 mm long barrel. Taipan air rifles use barrels from renowned brands such as Česká Zbrojovka or Lothar Walther. The muzzle is threaded 1/2 UNF and fitted with an effective sound moderator. Shooting is therefore surprisingly quiet.

The air cylinder runs almost the entire length of the rifle and ends with a clear Wika pressure gauge. The cylinder capacity is 225 cm3 of air. To mount a riflescope you can use the 22 mm Weaver rail, which is positioned in the centre of the rifle and is canted by 20 MOA, making it ideal for long-range shooting.

Loading is via a side-lever mechanism, which is very precise and easy to operate. This is where the Taipan has received several important innovations. The first is that it is impossible to double-load a pellet, so the barrel cannot become accidentally blocked. The second concerns the barrel and air port area, which has been designed to prevent pellet deformation. The side lever can be easily swapped to the other side, making the Taipan suitable for both right-handed and left-handed shooters.

If you look at the workmanship of individual parts, for example the trigger mechanism, you will see the high standard of their execution. In this respect it surpasses much more expensive air rifles. The fully adjustable trigger mechanism is among the very best currently found on an air rifle. There is a manual safety in front of the trigger.

The Compact model weighs 3050 g. The package includes two magazines, each with a capacity of 10 shots, a single-shot tray adapter, and a quick-fill adapter.
