Talon SS C02 Questions (I have searched)
New guy here. I have a few half decent airguns and many firearms. I do not, however, have any PCPs or in this case a larger high end C02 airgun.
I have a few questions before I make the plunge and I would really appreciate any input you folks might have.
All of the below relate to the Talon SS .22 on C02 (stock)
1-How loud is it in relation to say a RWS 46 (Stutzen) or CZ Slavia? I am not looking for power 500-600 fps is plenty for my needs. I primarily want quieter then my RWS 46.
2-Is the 20 oz tank too big for actual scoped shooting?
3-The C02 tanks do not come with any kind of buttpad. Does this interfere with shooting? Are there buttpads that can be used?
4-I assume I should be able to get a good 150-200 shots easy out of the 12 oz tank at the ranges I am looking at (50′ ish) Is this a correct assumption. The 20oz tank should easily get 500-600, correct?
5-Are the C02 tanks durable and able to sit filled for long periods of time? I plan on getting two or three additional to have on hand.
Thanks so much for taking the time to answer my likely answered 10,000 times already questions. I did do some searching but couldn’t find exactly what I was looking for.
Take care and shoot safe

In case anybody is wondering.
RWS 46 Stutzen in .177
Beeman GS1000(Cheaper line not a true Beeman, been a good gun though) .22
CZ Slavia Lux .177 (early generation pre 634)
IZH 46M .177 (What a spectacular airgun)
RWS C225 C02 .177 (Almost an exact replica of a SIG P225, heavier then the real thing and a better trigger to boot)
A bunch of power burners

Ok so I guess I got one more.
Does the Talon C02 use any paintball CO2 tank or are they proprietary in some way?
Wow you guys are fast. Thank you so much for the info.
If it is half as quiet as a 46 bone stock then I think I am good to go. That 46 has quite a crack to it and it is past the diesaling phase.
One more quick question. Converting to PCP is as simple as buying a tank and pump and removing the C02 conversion valve, correct?
Ok, actually two with springers drying firing with no back pressure is a no no. What about with PCP or C02? Not that I can see a need for dry firing with a tank attached but I am curious.
Thanks again folks.

1 Quieter than a 46 like 50 per cent. You can easily make it nearly silent using methods shown onthis site.
2 You can use a scope with a 20 oz tank
3 There are pads you can purchase that use large adjustable hose clamps. If you are handy you will not have much trouble making one on your own.
4. A 12 oz tank will give you over 500 shots easily. Over 1000 with a 20 oz tank.
5 Tanks can sit for years just keep them away from excessive heat.
Welcome Cslinger,
I dont have a CO2 set up but am familiar with it. I will try to give you some answers to your questions.
1. With a Talon SS if you add baffles to the frame the CO2 version is almost silent with the hammer hitting being the loudest noise you will notice.
2. 20oz tank can be used but the 12oz will be more comfortable.
3. But pads for CO2 tanks can be found at paintball shops and online

4.Depending on the temperature you can get several hundred shots. The warmer the day the more shots.
5. CO2 tanks can be left filled indefinitly with no problems.

As far as I know you are safe to use any tank, it is not proprietary. That is why they had to include the adapter, to adapt a regular CO2 tank to the rifle.
It is very easy to find butt pads for CO2 tanks in paintball stores, and I bet it would increase shooting comfortability.
