SCSA Taipan X Overview & Initial Thoughts

Ойын-сауық

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!

    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 KZread/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.

    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.

    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
