SCSA Taipan X Overview & Initial Thoughts
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 июл 2024
- New from Southern Cross Small Arms (SCSA) is the Taipan X. It’s a rifle aimed at hunters and designed for quick follow up shots having a pump and straight-pull action. SCSA have said that the Taipan X has the precision of an extended range rifle, so I was curious to see if my newest rifle was as easy to run and precise as they said it is.
**intro title says 6.5 Creedmoor, it’s actually in .223 🤦🏻

Shooter from the United States here. The Taipan seems like a really fun gun. I do not make it my business to comment on other countries gun laws. So forgive me if suppressors are not allowed. But that looks like an ideal rifle in 300 Blackout with a can. Shooting subsonic s with a good 30 cal. can would make it whisper quiet and still have plenty of thump out to 150-200 yards. And with supers out to 400-500. Or even 350 or 400 Legend.
Anyway, great vid! Gonna give you a like and share on X young man!
They are looking at making a .300 version soon I’m pretty sure! Thanks for the share and feedback 🤝
@@precisionrifle1Do they export to the USA ?
Where do we get these in the U.S. ?
Check Legacy Sports.
Very cool for manual rifle competitions, even if your country/state has cool gun laws.
However, it absolutely needs a pump lock mechanism. If you pull the rifle into your shoulder with the pump grip, you will accudentally pull it out of battery. It needs to stay locked until the trigger was pulled.
Shy of a suppressor, about the only thing that rifle could use is a decent blast deflector like the Breek Arms Castle Blast. It sends the concussion downrange and cuts recoil a bit. Much nicer for the shooter and those around them.
Dang RUclips/Google hate legal gun owners. It is criminal that this video only has a couple hundred views. Production value is excellent. I just shared it again to pump up the numbers. Try tagging/Titles/Descriptions all the accessories. Like your scope, Magpul magazine, Bipod etc.. It helps with the algorithm.
cheers for the vid mate. looking forward to more
Thanks for the feedback!
Hello, Any suggestions on what to use to polish the outer body to keep it clean and shiny for the bronze colour model please? Thanks
I’m really considering buying one of these 👍
@@RocketRod63 it’s pretty fun to use. I had it out on the weekend and now half my mates are looking at getting one 😆
So proud as an Aussie that we're making such fantastic quality guns.
Any chance you could review it from a bench rest side of things haven’t seen an one try shoot this thing for groups yet as a review. Been following the rifle alot an from what I’ve read if someone did a bench rest review might persuade a few more to buy this rifle
That’s my intention to show it a little more from the bench/prone style
🇦🇺😎👍Hey mate I used the first generation rifle and I was impressed . However I notice the finish on the rifle did mark / scratch easy. .Don’t know if they fixed all the issues on the gen 1 but if they
did I’d be interested in getting the gen 2 ..Great video🏁
Hey trev, I watched a review on that. That's why they apparently introduced the round deflector. Apparently when rounds were ejecting it was hitting the body
@@spankau 🇦🇺😎👍Yep , but the rest of the chassis can scratch pretty easy as well . I have a feeling they are addressing it. Great gun though. I’d have one
Hey mate, have you had a chance to look at an Axor Bushpig button release? Not a lot of feedback on them and I'm keen to get one.
Will have a review posted in the next couple of weeks, stay tuned!
@@precisionrifle1 Awesome stuff!!!! Thanks heaps man!
Does anybody know if different caliber version are gonna be available later in 300 Blackout, 308 Winchester, 6.5 Creedmoor &. 224 Valkyrie?
I think 300 BO is on the cards for the end of this year from what they said on their FB
What height rings did you need for the scope? I've been told they need to be kinda high, but haven't actually had a good look yet
I’m pretty sure they are medium rings. It’s a small objective lens on the scope and it’s a straight 0 MOA Pic rail the entire length
@@precisionrifle1 thanks for the quick reply
Is it worth picking up one of these bad boys up?
Yeah it’s a neat unit, no regrets 👍
would this fall under cat b if so im all in
Yeah Cat B 👍
Is this available to purchase here in the states?
Yeah through the US distributor www.legacysports.com/taipan/
What length is the barrel on this one
16.5
We need this in 6.5 prc or 308
Would love one in 6.5
Wedgetail industries mpr308
@@keenanwilson9784 which costs more than twice the amount
@@keenanwilson9784 Wedgetail MPR prohibited in NSW unfortunately.
@@keenanwilson9784 also double the price
can you change the buttstock or nah?
There are aftermarket adaptors available, there’s a Taipan group on FB that has them in there
Is it classed as a pump or bolt action?
pump
It's a straight pull with slide assist not a pump
What the best ammo for best groups as I have just received the same gun
What type of ammo you shooting best groups at 100yards
🇦🇺😎👍🏁
6lb trigger pull OMG, why so heavy !
Not uncommon on a hunting rifle
