SCSA Taipan EVO Light Straight Pull .223
$2,699.00
Product Details
The SCSA Taipan EVO in Burnt Bronze Cerakote is the refined, lightweight “next generation” evolution of Australia’s Southern Cross Small Arms dual-action centerfire platform.
It succeeds the older Taipan Light and Taipan X models, specifically incorporating competitive IPSC shooter feedback to slash weight and drop reloading split times.
-
The EVO Ergonomic Lower: The major change for the EVO is a glass-filled nylon polymer thumbhole grip lower assembly that completely houses an integrated extra magazine carrier inside the rear buttstock. Your secondary 10-round magazine clips directly under the cheekpiece so it is always within reach.
-
Competition Bolt Catch: Driven by dynamic feedback, the EVO introduces a dedicated, fast-acting bolt catch system. The action locks wide open on an empty mag; you simply slap the newly positioned lever to instantaneously strip and chamber a fresh round.
-
Flared Magwell & Deflector: Features a wide, funnel-style integrated flared magwell to eliminate fumbling during high-stress target transitions. It also retains the heavy-duty polymer shell-case deflector to protect the premium Dark Grey Cerakote finish from flying brass.
-
Mounting Infrastructure: The top edge features a rigid, continuous full-length Picatinny rail, matched to an M-LOK skeletonized aluminum handguard. Additionally, the bottom profile is Swiss plate/Arca-Swiss compatible for seamless tripod and bench bag clamping.
