I have no experience with the taipan, so will have to leave comments on those to other people. In my experience, the Bantam Sniper (probably true for most adjustable power rifles) is best when set at a certain tuning (for a given pellet weight) and then left at that. works best when given at least 145-150 bar pressure. Yes, you can tune it way down or somewhat higher than that level, but don't expect the accuracy at all of those levels to be quite as good as at a particular level. 22 caliber at 150 bar setting on the Huma regulator and with the hammer tension screw at about. I have found, however, that it shoots best (for me with 18.13 gr and 15.89 gr JSB pellets) when tuned to a specific power level (for. As mine approaches 2000 rounds, it's settling in nicely. That said, I think the Bantam Sniper is a wonderful rifle. I think it was quite customized to bring it to the level that it performed at for 100 yd EBR - not a box-stock Bantam Sniper. My understanding is that Claudio's Bantam Sniper was fitted (aftermarket) with a Red Wolf barrel (LW polygonal), and had an enlarged port for more power. Keep it "Low Mileage" if you know what I mean. I own a Wildcat and really like the feel of the trigger and accuracy using the magazines but I constantly worry about durability and longevity issues and fear that one day when I want to grab it and go shoot, its out of air or the regulator fails and because of that, I don't want to shoot it much. IMO It is like an entry level gun all duked up to the max sort of like buying a $16,000 entry level economy car with another $15,000 in factory upgraded options added to itĪnother consideration would be a Wildcat due to its superior trigger but would wait until they get their bugs sorted out first.

I considered trying a Brocock Sniper but didn't want to risk not being able to use the magazine for long distance accuracy and prefer accurate multi shots with nice triggers and feel that they are priced a bit higher than they should be for what you get. You should expect MOA average at 100 using the magazines with a 25 Veteran with JSBs and Polymags and will predict good long term reliability. I would put them up against the best for long distance shooting and regardless of the cheaper than average price range I would guess they should be priced higher like the Crickets and Edguns. The long distance accuracy with the Taipans are ridiculous IMO and they didn't seem pellet fussy at all either. Never bought any Brocock brand guns yet but have owned several Taipan Mutants and a Veteran that would instill confidence even for novice shooters for 100 yard shots and well beyond that range using the magazines which seem reliable and well built.
