WFA1 vs Taipan vs 7615

[@fhckoutdoors]

TL;DW: the Warwick is by far the superior rifle. The 7615 is reliable, but ageing and can only get second hand. Taipan has issues that need to be sorted out. Comparison videos are stupid because they are too subjective.

[@MANAELaustralia]

Thanks for the shoutout for our FABA kit! We've got a few new items for the SCSA Taipan too, to give more support for the Aussie market.

[@gobangs1117]

As far as I am aware the 7615 and 7600 have no interchangable parts. Possibly the trigger group or parts in it. To fit a but stock from a 7600 to a 7615 you need an adaptor plate from Mesa Tactical which is what I had to do to fit the Magpul 7600 stock to my 7615. The receiver on the 7600 is bigger therefore everything in it is also bigger.

[@lukedibben7445]

Would love to see this comparison with the Taipan X

[@sionsoschwalts2762]

This is a video I've been after for a while. Hopefully the Taipan irons out any issues soon.

[@fhckoutdoors]

I hope so too. It has potential.

[@sionsoschwalts2762]

@FHuCK Outdoors They also meed to change their warranty conditions so that we can cerakote or even add a stock

[@fhckoutdoors]

I absolutely agree.

[@wfa-l.driver]

They have a heap of potential, 4 out of the 6 I know of have had broken cam pins, either when the came or soon after. SCSA have been on the ball sending parts directly to owners. Usually with a bolt released too.

[@fhckoutdoors]

@@wfa-l.driver good that they were on the ball with you guys. They certainly were not with the guys I know.

[@TheFORUNNERGaming]

One thing that wasnt touched on is portability, the ability to separate uppers and lowers makes it a significantly more transportable package.

[@fhckoutdoors]

Thats a fair point. Both Taipan and Warwick can be separated. 7615 can have it's but removed to reduce length for travel.

[@schrodingersgat4344]

Easiest thing to do would be to delete the rear receiver extension and replace it with a folding mechanism. Don't need a buffer/spring on a pump action rifle.

[@TheFORUNNERGaming]

@@schrodingersgat4344 Having seen them down here in NZ, having the ability to let the bolt go in a straightpull and have it go into battery, vs forward and back, is a good thing. The spring needs to be tuned to the action, rather than just bog standard AR tension. We have VZ58 straightpulls and those springs are what they use in the full auto/semi variants and its a bit of a workout.

[@schrodingersgat4344]

@@TheFORUNNERGaming While that may be: It does nothing for the compactness of the firearm. [It's my biggest gripe about the AR platform.] With the VZ 58; all of the relevant parts are within the receiver. The action is not, thus, overlong. You can make the gun shorter without need of disassembly. Unless the folding stocks are illegal. Then the whole point is moot. [I hadn't heard anything about that., if they are]

[@TheFORUNNERGaming]

@@schrodingersgat4344 wouldnt be surprised if folding/adjustable stocks go on the chopping block in aus if they havent already. A sig MCX straightpull would be the optimal solution, the benefits of a spring powered action, no buffer tube, and same AR interface and the ability to rechamber, would be my ideal platform.

[@Rollwiththepunches3]

I wonder how the eureka will stand against these

[@yendor9078]

I am wondering if the Warwick would have won the accuracy test if it had a longer barrel? it appears the owner of it chose the tiny 14" version. Might be better if it had a 16" or 20" Light or heavy/varmint. You have options

[@fhckoutdoors]

Barrel length doesn't necessarily equate to 'more accuracy'. Regardless, I doubt it could beat what the Taipan did. Three rounds on top of each other at its best, sub-quarter MOA at it's worst.

[@yendor9078]

@@fhckoutdoors I guess you would never know unless you gave it an equal test and try different ammo types and weights

[@fhckoutdoors]

@@yendor9078 Yeah righto. Just pop down to the shops and buy a WFA1 for a review shall I?

[@wfa-l.driver]

It would appear from what I have seen of the Taipans that are turning up at my club the accuracy is very good, we have multiple WFA's & 7615's & find the WFA's of all barrel length & weight seem to prefer heavier projectiles. A good 7615 will shoot 1-1.5 MOA with all weights.

[@fhckoutdoors]

@@wfa-l.driver Anyone at your club had issues with the taipans? I know a few IPSC shooters who are having massive dramas with theirs

[@NightReaperDownUnder]

You need to try the Oceania Precision SP15 with a FABA kit 😉

[@MANAELaustralia]

Can recommend!

[@JamesNunya]

Anyone know where to get a 7615 firing pin? Not having much luck at the moment

[@OvertimeX86]

Thanks for the reviews mate. I just got my licence A and B in VIC approved recently and just wanted something that works like the Mossberg 500 (C licence in Vic FFS). I'm now trying to find out what a potentially left handed shooter can get that isn't a unreliable lever action (i assume pumps are more reliable the lever guns).

[@princeofmartialarts]

So I’m seeing a lot about cam pins breaking in the taipan - some comments have reported that it even arrived broken. How on earth are they breaking in the first place? And how are they even arriving with it broken? I’ve shot the 7615 in 3 gun comps - thought it was pretty good, but forking out 4.2k for the Warwick makes me baulk due to that price range. Which was why I found the taipan appealing. Not quite sure now…

[@fhckoutdoors]

Apparently it is a heat treating problem, according to SCSA. In the particular gun I tested the cam pin is hitting the recess at the front of the receiver, which it definitely isn’t supposed to do.

[@danieltorrens8788]

In terms of AR parts for the WFA1: triggers (e.g. Timney, Wilson Combat, mil-spec etc) all drop in and uses regular trigger and hammer pins, grips, buffer tubes/stocks (except weird shit like the Hera CQR), and barrel extention all go in fine. Bolt carrier group stuff is all different and no interchangeability.

[@fhckoutdoors]

Thanks for clarifying that!

[@andrewmarkel6362]

Bought a 7615 couple weeks back, love the thing, great little scrub gun. Sadly we can't have the wfa1, taipan or sp15 here due to those lovely appearance laws, so it was really my only choice.

[@fhckoutdoors]

It 'appears' you've had your choice made for you. 7615 is pretty decent for what it is.

[@andrewmarkel6362]

@FHuCK Outdoors sadly it seems that way, but even if I had free choice, I most likely would have went with the 7615 anyway. Picked it up for $1600, much more affordable then all the others, proven platform and does everything I need. Just a shame we have to have our choices limited by politicians who have most likely never even picked up a firearm, but it is what it is I guess.

what is the name of the website that can customise the rifle

[@cairnex4473]

So the Taipan is the lightest, most accurate and is a real pump action (not like the Warwick with it's strap on kit bullshit) and doesn't need 2 grand worth of shit bolted to it to turn it into something approximating a modern rifle. None of them are ideal... wouldn't it be good to live in a free country?

What spare parts would you recommend getting for a 7615 to keep it running into the distant future? I want to grab some before the grabbing is gone. Thanks in advance and keep up the great work you do.

[@fhckoutdoors]

I would say things like trigger springs, magazine catch, dust cover (if you can find them), extractor and spring. Mainly springs and small parts so you can have a gunsmith service it.

[@hojohojo674]

[@joep65ck]

More steel parts needed on the high stress areas of the Taipan. Needs to be fixed fast otherwise they'll lose the market.

[@aussieaxedude154]

Sweet video bro the 7615 is an old slapper that keeps on kicking Remington should definitely start pumping them out again. Couldn't agree more about some shooters overdoing it with the mods for the 7615 I personally like the stock version but I do like the idea of a pistol grip. Cheers.

[@colonelbeanbagsfishing]

If States people are in were included, for NSW (where the majority of licensed shooters live) a point to the Taipan light and Remington 7615, Warwick zero because is too scary in NSW.

what scope are you using on the taipan, and what ammo do you have to get that accuracy?? my taipan shoots worse than my 7615 currently, absolute joke

Vortex Strike Eagle Gen 2 1-8, hornady 55gr and ADI 55gr. Interesting to hear you're not having any luck with the accuracy.

[@Wint910]

@FHuCK Outdoors cheers mate, yeah really odd that it wont group currently. I have put the blame down to the shitheap scope that came with it. what was interesting is that i shot the 7615 at the same time to see if it was my shooting but i managed to get a sub moa grouping at 100m with it

[@wfa-l.driver]

Big problem with your 7615 Parts comments is the actual parts that are unique to the 7615 are very hard to get here and in the US. Great rifles, I ran them in competition for the last 15 years or so but the potential parts supply issue has driven me to a Warwick.

[@fhckoutdoors]

I never had a problem getting parts when I owned one, but that was a few years ago now.

[@wfa-l.driver]

Ray trade used to do a good job with spares but when Remington stopped making them it got harder, then after they went broke almost impossible to source things like the shell stripper that allowed the "76" action to feed from AR style mags. Dust covers as someone else mentioned, etc...
