Air rifle Taipan Veteran Standard Coffee cal.5,5mm

Taipan Veteran Standard Coffee air rifle cal.5,5mm

The origins of this brand are registered in Ukraine, however all models are currently assembled and tested in the Czech Republic.

This is a well crafted Bullpup model that uses the latest technical features.

Taipan Veteran Standard has undergone innovations such as in the area of reloading, where the slide cannot be double-loaded and therefore the barrel cannot accidentally clog. The possible deformation of the pellet when air is blown into the barrel has also been considered. For this reason, the system was modified to avoid this situation.

An important aspect of any gun is its barrel. The Taipan Veteran Standard uses high quality German mostly Lothar Walther or also Czech CZUB, which achieve the same quality of concentricity on the target. This is reflected in the 40m shot that is included in the package.

The barrel is finished with an integrated noise compensator.

The capacity of the air reservoir or also the cartridge is 291cc. The cartridge can be filled with a maximum pressure of 250 BAR. The pressure is delivered stably thanks to the built-in pressure regulator. You can check the current pressure in the cartridge on the WIKA manometer in the front.

The cartridge is filled with air via the Quick Fill Valve using a hand pump or by overfilling from the throttle. For filling from a cylinder, a hose with its own pressure gauge and release valve is required so that the pressure can be released from the hose and the Quick Fill valve can be removed from the cartridge after filling. The cartridge parameters allow for many stable shots without recoil.

The Taipan air rifle is equipped with a 10-dart magazine overridden by a side lever. You can thus use the reloading lever to repeat the firing fairly quickly. By tilting the reloading lever, the magazine is simultaneously rotated and the ammunition is moved into the barrel.

A great benefit with this model is the adjustable trigger in the 0.5-1.5 range.

The optic mounts to a RIS rail 22mm with a 20MOA tilt.

The production of the Bullpup Laminated Stock was handled by the Italians, who deliver really beautiful and high quality stocks.

Opinion:

This is a well crafted air rifle that has the most modern features. The Taipan itself features great craftsmanship that makes it superior to other expensive rifles. We were pleasantly surprised when testing this machine and can imagine having one in our collection.
