Still, if you do you will have a Taipan that will retain its value and desirability and possibly even appreciate in value as the years pass. 22 will be difficult, and getting the owner to part with it will be even harder. I do agree that finding an original Ukrainian-built LONG in. 22 Long of Ukrainian origin, given the choice of that or a new one, I would buy the original first. I find myself romancing the thought of just how accurate that CZ barrel could be once it 'shoots in' with another 500-1000 rounds through it. I bet I don't have 500 pellets through it so far. It has shot sub-MOA at 100 seemingly almost at will, but I have only done it once with my. 22 LONG is easily more accurate than my LW-barreled. That, and the barrel is threaded and screwed in. IMHO they are accurate because of the Taipan trigger and the CZ barrel. 22 cal Taipan LONGS that were imported into North America. I do indeed believe there are few original Ukrainian-made CZ-barreled. Praying I have diminished their numbers enough to keep my old truck safer. We still have more squirrels than I want, but I have thinned down their herd. I tried dryer sheets, fox urine soaked cotton pads under the hood, nothing worked. They were nesting in the engine bay of my diesel truck and had chewed up 4 wiring harnesses to the tune of over $1000 per incident. I had a squirrel problem until this arrived. It loves JSB 25.39's and shoots the Hades darn well also. Price: 54 for 24 months with PayPal Creditopens a installment calculator layer 54 for 24 months. Seller included a Ernest Rowe Power Plenum that had not been installed as well. I bought this rifle used and it had a new hammer adjuster/spring installed at time of purchase from Tony at Talon Tunes. I have a Athlon Midas BTR 4.5-27x50 on it and the combo is a pure pleasure to shoot. My max distance I can shoot in my backyard is 62 yards and it is a tac driver. It has a DonnyFL Sumo installed on it and I could not be more pleased with the lack of sound!

My first PCP rifle and it checks every box I needed and some I had no idea I wanted.

If you go back several years-worth of threads, the Taipan Mutant is consistently view as one of the most favorable all-around PCPs available, and if you are a trigger snob, the Taipan is regarded as having one of the best around. 25 versus a Taipan is simply because:Ģ: the Lelya offers dual-side cocking with what looks like an AR charging handle, not a sidelever or bolt cockingģ: there were no Taipans when I was looking to buy except some over-priced guns over at AGN ClassifiedĤ: my girlfriend REALLY likes the looks of the Lelya I am, and the main reason I opted for a Lelya 2.0 in. The main consideration I would make is that if you haven't used a bullpup much, do so and verify you are comfortable with the ergonomics. The Taipan Mutant and Veteran are simply gorgeous PCPs. I find them visually appealing, but I also admit to being a fan of utilitarian tools with no extra frills. When there is a gripe about them, it is about 'how ugly' they are. They are among the most quiet of stock PCPs and are acknowledged frequently for their superlative barrels. I'll just parrot what Manny says: you never hear complaints about them, ever.
