If I was scsa I’d want this video deleted. You can clearly see how in the real world this rifle is incredibly stiff and clunky, cycling like a bag of dog turds. The video itself is well done however 🤙
Not sure if they've chanced it since this video, but the model I had was definitely a 223 / 5.56. You'll see it stamped on the ejector side of the receiver several times in the video.
@BulletExpressTv mmmm their website said 223. I looked at one a few weeks ago and it said 223. I may have it wrong. If I have, then my sincere apologies to you.
Does anybody know if you can put a suppressor on this bolt gun & we need to put pressure on yhis company to make this gun available in 300 Blackout, 308 Winchester, 6.5 Creedmoor & .224 Valkyrie
I'm yet to see one "in the flesh", i am interested, though, as both a varmit rifle & for IPSC rifle competition. I had one of the blokes from SCSA, I won't mention names, just in case, fit one of their chassis to a 243 based target rifle & it improved the grouping out of sight. There may be some minor issues with this rifle However, to see an Aussie start up trying to innovate at an afforable price point is to be commended. Look at the price of similar rifles in the Aussie market.
Its probably the only extremely undeniable good quality of this gun, the very high quality barrels from Germany mean very good accuracy for a .223 I had the first 3 rounds I fired touchin at 50m. But the list of cons start to creep in...
After all the issues with the previous version, I'm not convinced. From other reviews, this new iteration still has problems with cycling the action as it gets hotter, so I'm saving my money. I'm interested to see what the new Eureka Stockade rifle is like when it's released in March, and happy to see another Aussie channel supporting Australian Companies. Keep up the good work!.
Need more variety of 9mm rifles/carbines in Australia, just went into Cleavers for the first time today, going through the ammunition, was around 4 types of 300 BLK ammunition but no subsonic and around 40 difference 9mm. The only 9mm rifle available on a B license in Queensland is the Tombstone lever action. But its $3200. What about a cheap 9mm bolt or more traditional lever? 9mm would be a great under 100 metre hunting round especially with some of the recent upgrades to controled expanding bullets designed for 2 legs varmints
Towards the end of the day (and after considerable abuse), the pump did require a bit more muscle to bring back and cycle the next round whilst firing in quick succession. That being said, this did not cause any jams or feed failure.
@BulletExpressTv yeah interesting alot of people (myself included) had that issue with the taipan lite and was wondering if they fixed it with the taipan x. With the lite it would pretty much become near impossible to cycle after mag dumping
I’m not going to blow smoke up your arse mate, that was a let down. More drama music and SCSA promo than a review. I got the same out of the OSA video as yours and it was shorter. Since you’re in contact with OSA I’ll provide some criticism (feedback for sensitive gen X’s) from a primary produce who uses firearms as part of my job not as lookalike toys. Why that useless bolt lock and not a bolt catch like an AR? Why no ambidextrous on the safety? It’s not difficult to cnc machine in the detent grove on the opposite safety pin surface. The tolerances in some of the machining are average at best (butt stock to upper a prime example I can easily see daylight through the gaps). The trigger, worst I’ve ever felt in 40 years. This is an $1900.00 gun that needs another k spent on it to make it into a useful addition to our work. Australian manufacturing doesn’t get a pass just because it’s Australian, this is the second iteration of this firearm the Taipan Light should of had buyers raising a class action with all the issues. I’ve seen garbage turned out from Australian firearms related companies who do nothing but trade on the legacy reputation of our forefathers, it’s lazy and a grift.
Hey mate, I appreciate the feedback! It's still early days for the channel, but at this stage I'm wanting to go less in the direction of critical reviews of firearms, and more in the direction of showing various firearms and related products in action and providing some entertainment in the process, as well as just showcasing the sporting industry as a whole, similar to some of the US channels you may have seen getting around.
Jesus Christ, you call Gen X sensitive, then go on a snowflake induced rant. You say 40 years of shooting, so that either puts you square into Gen X territory yourself (which makes your comment even more idiotic and hypocritical), or a fucken boomer who didn't start shooting until he was 30. Either way, calm the fuck down and don't go dumping your perceived issues with Aussie manufacturers on the bloke making the vid. Don't like his review, feel free to scroll on, it's not hard. If you're like most farmers I know, you can barely shoot anyway and continually blame the bloody rifle.
Not a bad format mate, keep it up with different guns. Well presented but no negatives (cons0? I cant think of any occasions that the "bolt" safety is useful? I guess if your sponsored you cant bag anything out about it... funny you mentioned the case deflector, sucks to be the 1000 people who own a taipan light that doesn't have one and SCSA wont out fit them to their old model
