I had no idea your regs were worse than ours in some aspects mate. Appreciate the support buddy 👊

Should be pretty easy to eliminate the pump action and just have the straight pull. Looks like a fairly standard AR forend under the pump mechanism.

Thanks champion. Glad you got something out of it mate

Much appreciated, thankyou mate 👍

Same to you mate 👊

There's a little bit of footage in my latest video Irena kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hdJpjLh61KuZlIU.html

going there now@@RJMHuntingAustralia

Yeah mate. Still yet to play around with it and subsonics

And without it?

Thanks mate. First outing with it kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hdJpjLh61KuZlIU.html

Cheers mate 👍

Did a bit with it on my last trip mate. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hdJpjLh61KuZlIU.html

Been playing around with it and various mounts. Got it sorted now 👍

The adjustable cheek riser is a good feature.

Certainly a good bit of kit mate 👌

Cheers mate 👍

Haven't pulled mine apart yet mate. Ragged hole at 50m. Sun moa at 100m

I stand corrected. 🤦‍♂️

We old diggers never had that problem with .303, the Owen or the SLR.

It's certainly a great addition to the gun safe but I won't be getting rid of my bolt actions. 👌

Nah,me either Rod. I trust my bolts,and,they ride well on the quad. Keep up the good work with the foxes.👍👍@@RJMHuntingAustralia

We'll see how it goes mate

Thanks

Thankyou

If you've git it. Flaunt it 😉

They are classified as a prohibited weapon and require the necessary permits mate. I applies for them as a contract shooter and using them in a professional capacity

Absolutely. However the difficulty in obtaining the necessary licenses combined with the expense of a decent semi auto and safe storage requirements make it impractical for me at the moment mate 😧😪

Yes mate. Semi auto's are heavily restricted and full auto's totally banned

Running a Bexin ST424C tripod with a Sirui K30x ball head to arca swiss plate

@@RJMHuntingAustralia just thinking if I upgrade to this ball head or go for a bog death grip. On a fx maverick, what's your thoughts

Really depends how much you want to spend mate. I do this for work so I buy the best gear I can find.

You too mate 👍

Apparently so mate. To the best of my knowledge 👌

About 400 so far mate. No issues as long as you put it into battery properly. 👌

@@RJMHuntingAustralia No worries, thanks for the quick reply. I might go have another look at one

From the same company that makes the Taipan. SCSA Q2 Moderator. They're not currently producing them atm though.

It's in the video description mate. Rifle comfortable shoots sub moa

Have had no issues with it so far mate. 👌

They're about $1800 mate

Pretty well priced then cheers for the info

👍

Q2 Moderator from SCSA mate

Contract shooter in NSW mate

Chalk and cheese mate. Huge difference

Various HikMicro scopes mate. Thermal and NightVision

Best to jump on the Taipan appreciation group on Facebook. I have only put about 300 rounds through it so far without issue. Heaps more info on the page

I have the necessary prohibited weapons permits for my contract work mate.

They're bringing out a 300 Blackout early this year mate

@RJMHuntingAustralia I live in the US and still can have Semitic auto and pistols

And rifle for now. Sorry, hit the wrong button with my old fingers

G’day mate, best of the season to you and yours. It’s not an answer to bulk feral control buts it’s better than a lot of what’s been available previously for the price point. Positive - Fit and finish are good. Cycles with no issues, 1:8 twist good for 65 gr Gamekings, price point (although you could spend another 1k pretty easy making it more shootable. Suggestions for future iterations: It needs a bolt catch like an AR or OP SP etc that locks the bolt back on the last round, using the mag follower only wears them and forces you to manually lock back the bolt so as to release the pressure off the follower and stop the bolt going forward into battery when you “drop” the mag, the mag won’t “drop” on its own without the pressure being removed from the bolt sitting on the back of the follower. This slows down mag changes considerably. Pin the rear stock as the machining tolerances are large enough that it moves when tight. The trigger, it’s just bloody terrible. Whinge: The OEM barrel break procedure is about the worst I’ve ever come across, it’s painful for a rifle with limited access through the action. Trigger feels like undoing a tight nut with a loose spanner, it’s so heavy it has no feel. I have a 2stage VP ordered which will bring it down to 2lb. The Eureka Gun Company “Stockade” looks promising from an efficiency perspective……..

Ignorance 🤷‍♂️

Apparently there's a bit of conjecture as to whether you can legally run a brass catcher in NSW

Sounds pretty bloody typical for this shit state...... God forbid we collect our brass for future use and not put it in the ground.. Our country is going backwards. Thanks for the review and info mate. Appreciate it.

Absolutely ridiculous for sure mate

not that I know of mate

It's a Bexin ST424C carbon fibre tripod mate 👌

@@RJMHuntingAustralia that’s awesome, thank you very much, I’m purchasing this gun for night hunting and running thermal, needed a tripod that suited the gun, awesome setup bro. What a legend keep up the good work. 🤙🏽🍻

Much appreciated mate. Thankyou 👊

Not as far as I know mate

@@RJMHuntingAustralia Thats a shame, thanks for letting me know, the only issue is the safety/slector, I can easily manage the rest, may need to see how one feels.

Sub moa with factory ammo and retails for around $1800

Personally, I think that the rifle is under priced mate.

@@RJMHuntingAustralia so its good price?

Yes

Heavily restricted in Australia mate 🤷‍♂️

@@RJMHuntingAustralia but don’t you have a CAT D license for autos ect

I haven't gone down the CAT D route. I may in the future but at the moment I can't justify the added hassle and expense.

@@RJMHuntingAustralia yeah right fair enough and I guess you really don’t need one unless your chasing pigs on the run but I’d love to run a suppressor for my ears🤣

Absolutely. Total gamechanger

So far so good for me mate. 👍
