- Meet Australia's Pump Action 223.
I had a bunch of fun with this rifle and am eagerly looking forward to getting out and putting some more rounds down range with it.
Whilst this video presents in a review format, I try not to take things too seriously and focused more on my own personal experience with the firearm.
Huge thanks goes out to the sponsors of this video, Southern Cross Small Arms and Magnum Sports.
This video was filmed in accordance with the Australian Firearms Registration Legislation and Guidelines with correct handling and safety procedures in place at all times.
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!.
@@Haulinbassntrawlinass Um.....yeah. Pretty much said that. Save your $$$, Taipan isn't it.
Keen to see more from you. Great start to the channel. Thanks for supporting the Aussie firearms industry and SCSA 🇦🇺
Great review mate! Keep up the great work 👍🇦🇺👍
Came here from the Taipan Facebook page, good stuff mate keep it goin
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
Great Review! Sold me!
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.
love the bipod, what is it?
Não entendo a língua de vocês, porém, eu gostaria de saber que calibre é?
223 Rem
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.
I bought it last week from SSAA but haven’t try it, just kept it in my storage.
Sounds like you're due to get out to the range and put some mileage on it!
Is the action sticky? Or just brand new and needs to wear in?
At the point of filming this video, the rifle would have only done about 150 rounds prior, so i'd say that option B is the most likely.
@@BulletExpressTv cheers, most likley the case, I I know my 7615 was the same.
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
I've *heard* we might be seeing some of these first half of this year 🤫
@@BulletExpressTv I hope so :)
I have a Lee Enfield converted to 9mm in a carbine. Takes glock mags. Was sub $1500.
oceania precision have one in the works, not too far away
Really want to see a bench rest group review from this gun
Go check out @ozziereviews video on the Taipan X, he tested out some grouping from the bench 💪
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...
was it getting harder to pull back during the rapid fire at the end there?
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
Is everything free mate don't you buy anything
I'll refer you to my latest video that cost me in excess of $14,000 🤣
I actually like this. I prefer semi auto. But this is cool
What category of license you need to buy in Victoria
I'm not *too* sure, but I believe it falls under the standard Cat B Centrefire. I would definitely check with your local dealer first though!
Just a standard CAT A,B mate
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
Muzzle is threaded ready for a brake or suppressor and was recently released in 300 Blackout.
You said it is chambered in 223 and 5.56. The lite was but the X isn't. It is 223 only.
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.
@@michaelvanwest6262 it is stamped at bullet says, right next to the receiver, had a look in person today. Great rifle.
Good looking gun, how much ?
They look to be sitting below 2k with most Australian dealers 🙌
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 🤙
Stop it... Now i need another riffle.
I mean, that's never a BAD problem to have 😎
its so good :)
💪
You do realise the Azov's are nazis yeah ?
You do realise the Azov's are nautzy's? Interesting to see you supporting them... says a lot about you.
