SCSA Taipan X Overview & Initial Thoughts

[@markrippt4677]

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!

[@precisionrifle1]

They are looking at making a .300 version soon I’m pretty sure! Thanks for the share and feedback 🤝

Where do we get these in the U.S. ?

Check Legacy Sports.

​@@drsnooker1776why would u want one? You have real AR options ...

[@markrippt4677]

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 KZbin/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.

[@texasranger24]

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.

So proud as an Aussie that we're making such fantastic quality guns.

cheers for the vid mate. looking forward to more

Thanks for the feedback!

Great rifle, love my Taipan X too! A quick question, what sling would you suggest?

[@precisionrifle1]

@@SimmerbirKahlon plenty of options out there, Magpul, TAB gear or for hunting the Quake Claw is the best

[@SimmerbirKahlon]

Love the Taipan X, Overall good rifle

[@RocketRod63]

I’m really considering buying one of these 👍

[@precisionrifle1]

@@RocketRod63 it’s pretty fun to use. I had it out on the weekend and now half my mates are looking at getting one 😆

🇦🇺😎👍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🏁

[@spankau]

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

[@bigtrev761]

@@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

[@scottyd4545]

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

[@precisionrifle1]

That’s my intention to show it a little more from the bench/prone style

[@Spacegoat92]

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.

[@precisionrifle1]

Will have a review posted in the next couple of weeks, stay tuned!

[@Falco8649]

I have a question as a Victorian. I have my Cat A/B license and I've seen some lads with a +5 extended mag that goes on the stock 10 round mag you get with the rifle, is that allowed cuz i really do like the look it gives to the stock mag?

[@precisionrifle1]

@@Falco8649 not sure in Vic sorry, I know in QLD we can use the larger 30rd limited to 10 PMAGS

Is it worth picking up one of these bad boys up?

Yeah it’s a neat unit, no regrets 👍

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

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

[@precisionrifle1]

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

can you change the buttstock or nah?

There are aftermarket adaptors available, there’s a Taipan group on FB that has them in there

6lb trigger pull OMG, why so heavy !

[@mytimetoshine94aussie21]

Is it classed as a pump or bolt action?

[@strider5119]

pump

[@anthony_4570]

It's a straight pull with slide assist not a pump
