Just got the taipan X have broken in the barrel by the twenty shot mark was shooting less that .5 of an inch groups with the adi world class 55gr sierra blitz kings. This was amazing and stopped wasting bullets on break-in am very stoked with the groups I got . Was not expecting this from the info that's out there everyone saying they r not super accurate I have to disagree it's going to b great on rabbits and foxes out to distance walking the farms I have it set up differently from my other rifles with vortex strike eagle 1-8x24 on top and not the biggest scope I could afford. The strike eagle also nice. Am really stoked with it and still buzzing with the groups I got when breaking in. Any break in left to complete will happen just shooting the next pk of bullets at some targets. Love it that's it's different from the average bolt gun. Love that it's both pump and straight pull.

As an American I think that is cool as heck. Glad to see you guys doing what you can to keep practicing your natural rights as human beings. I hope that company does well.

Wolf primers be like that. My Mini-14 used to get a lot of light strikes with them. For me replacing the hammer spring fixed that however it made a near perfect trigger a little heavier. For an outdated rifle the Mini-14 sure has a great trigger.

Oh that steel cased doesn't like to extract I see.

Yeah single point slings are ok for shorter firearms and SBRs, SBSs, and PDWs but for longer hunting rifles and shotguns trekking around the wilderness or even "zombie apocalypse" 2 point is best.

My gun club has multiple model 41’s I can use. I’m not sure if I should get my own gun or not.

First!

hey ..where did you get your fore end grip...i like...

I've got an german x-five supermatch skeleton. And I have to say, the weight makes it have not much recoil. And to be honest, I'm a noobie. But the gun itself shots absolutely fantastic. FANTASTIC. I love it. Now, I'd tried to shot an Clock, which one it is i don't know. But at the shooting range, there was to cops, shooting Clocks, trying mine. And you should have seen there face. You can't compare them. This gun is AWESOME and so beautiful. ❤❤❤

Good review mate I nearly bought one until I seen this video and probably going to be a the bushpig shotgun from cleavers now 😀

To be fair, Wolf ammo doesn't load well in anything I own.

Terrible color..

Do you live in Australia

Any chance you’re making more of those pump grips for them?

The Trailside seems ok but unlike the International, 208, or 215 the rear sight moves with the sight. If you are using an optical sight it doesn't matter and maybe it doesn't matter at all but I would like to see the Walther make the new Trailside or Exesse or whatever they are calling it with the rear sight bridge like the 208. Just a thought.

Nice shotgun - please do not pull the trigger with empty chamber, firing pin eventually becomes brittle

I set up a better camp to sloppy

For ISSF .22 competition, only the Hammerli would suffice for a beginner competitor . Others are only for casual shooting or some of these pseudo combat matches. Triggers not adjustable enough, too much recoil due to the design but, they won’t be fussy about ammunition because they mostly have sloppy chambers. Buy the time you buy one of these, modify them, practice, you would have been better off to buy a used quality pistol. I own several quality pistols, one that I bought in 1997, I have shot 10,000 rounds out of with few malfunctions only due to ammunition. Quality pistols are expensive but, not as expensive as quality shotguns and target rifles . Expect to pay $2500-3500 for a new one and approaching half for a 10 year old used model. I agree that you must obtain spares , learn to clean your pistol yourself and replace things as they wear out. In F1, they used to replace the engine and gearbox after each race and sometimes between practice and the race . Quality equipment requires maintenance but, the reward is top performance . Performance far above all of the pistols listed here. Look at the Olympics and world championships. See any Rugers there? I list the American guns in the review as casual shooters, the Beretta a 9 score gun, the Hammerli as a junior or lady pistol that can get 9-10s. The top pistols will only miss the 10 if the shooter does not do his / her part. The pistols listed here make it hard for the shooter to do his/ her part.

More detail than the usual pull the trigger and bang style video. Seems good value and well made.

Where did you get that fore grip looks awesome

I would highly recommend a Rager Mark IV Hunter as a first pistol. I bought one for my daughter's birthday. I promptly stole it from her to shoot SCSA Steel Challenge in RFPI. She got it back once I bought the Volquartzen. That Ruger is a joy to maintain, unlike my Scorpion, which is Mark III based and therefore not "pushbutton easy." The Hunter has a great balance and fantastic sights that even I can use at my advanced age, given the enormous sight radius.

Nice video, thanks a lot for sharing this with us. I actually watched it about a year ago... it seems you've not (yet) posted a review on your Browning Buck Mark Contour. Do you still have in mind to publish that review? After almost 2 years of using club pistols for small caliber service matches (precision) I'm ambivalent on whether to buy the S&W 41 or the Buck Mark Contour. Eager to know your views out of such a rich experience you seem to have built up. Thanks in advance.

Should have ordered one laser etched with Sam inc.😂

By loading it like that, what would be the difference with the slide operating loading another round? Thank you!

Its a shame the original ones cannot be upgraded to the Taipan X specs but im guessing the amount of parts that would need changing wouldnt make it viable

🇦🇺😎👍Bubba Cleaver does GREAT DEALS🏁🏁🏁

🇦🇺😎👍🏁

Hey mate can you please explain the process of making the foregrip or I am happy to pay you to make one for my taipan x, Cheers

Excellent review.

Yeah....no. Everything I've heard about this weapon is pretty sub-par. Last I looked, most places were selling it at almost 50% discount. If they get the kinks right and fix it, then yeah maybe. But I'll be spending my money elsewhere till then.

As someone who was practically raised on pump action rifles, the working of that pump sounds near God like to me. The pump sounds so crisp and clean on the Taipan. I would love to use one myself one day.

Dumb American here; is it illegal to have any sort of flash hiders or muzzle devices on your firearms?

These a Cat B or C?

great job sam

Totally shit firearm. A new rifle should feed and function will most brands of ammo, flawlessly. There is zero excuse for these rifles to have stoppages. It's clearly a design flaw as they do it once they start getting hot. Lets face it, if it wasn't for their AR looks, no one would buy them. This is the country we live in now.

How is it when you compare with Wilson Combat edc x9L ?

Holy sh1t. You managed to get Bunnings wood to burn?

Got much info on that replacement pump grip? Is it easy enough to swap out? cause the factory one looks crap lol.

I struggle with ear pods staying in my ears. Not sure if I have odd shaped inner ear or they are just too greasy but they always come out. How did you find them for staying in over prolonged periods. I’m guessing the are not mouldable.

What's the gun range?

Nice vid mate. Good honesty and no fluff. I’ve had mine a couple months and love it. It seems to enjoy 60 grn Fiocchi ballistic tip. I’ve run an LPVO on a high mount and it was good. Now I’ve gone for a Holosun green dot that’s on a lower 1/3 co witness mount and it’s a MUCH better fit. Nice and tall. I’ll get a 3x magnifier next. The rifle does start to seize up a bit when I run it fast though. Both ejecting and feeding. Waiting now for a reply from SCSA.

just posted my wfa1l up for sale, hoping the taipan x will not disappoint.. the colour and stock annoy me clearly they had to make it look sedate to pass appearance in some states but like in mine where it does'nt exist would' nt mind the full blown AR copy

G'day mate I bought the last model of the pump action typan lite and I absolutely love it I have used different cheap ammo through it and it has performed great. I will always support Australians companies as much as I can. Hopefully this firearm will service all my requirements for years to come

Hey do you know if it is legal to remove the pump grip here in NSW?

As someone just about to leave their 6 month PPL period this vid' was extremely helpful! Thanks mate!

Where did you get the rails to suit the bolt spaces on pump slide

Gday mate thanks for the through review over the weekend I put in my PTA and purchased the Taipan X from Cleaver Firearms Brisbane I am happy with the reviews I’ve seen they are honest about this rifle good & bad points I am confident they have addressed the chambering issues both you & OZZIE reviews suffered I’m looking forward to getting the X

I don't get people who expect to run thousands of rounds through a gun over 5 to 10 years and then expect it to still look new when they want to buy something second hand. It is a tool, just like a car.

Hey man can anyone purchase a 20 rnd mag on this particular rifle or what the most capacity I can purchase Im from Nsw Sydney

good video.
