SCSA TAIPAN EVO

LIGHTWEIGHT. PRACTICAL. AUSTRALIAN.

The next evolution of the Taipan platform. Now 300g lighter, Category B compliant, and available in .223 REM or .300 BLK. Choose from Grey, Black, or Burnt Bronze. Made for Australian shooters.


SCSA TAIPAN EVO

BUILT FOR THE FIELD. REFINED FOR THE SHOOTER.

The Taipan Evo from Southern Cross Small Arms is the latest evolution of Australia's premier dual-action rifle platform. Designed for the field and refined for the modern shooter, the Evo retains the rugged reliability of the Taipan-X while introducing significant improvements in weight, ergonomics, and performance.

Now 300 grams lighter than its predecessor, the Evo enhances handling and reduces fatigue during long sessions in the field. The advanced spring-assisted pump action and straight-pull bolt system ensures fast cycling with positive battery feed, whether you're working the oversized charging handle or the foregrip pump. It also features a new intuitive bolt catch system that speeds up reloads, especially when used with the updated flared magwell. Two enhancements driven by feedback from IPSC competition shooters to give users a competitive edge.

Perfect for hunters, landowners, and pest controllers who demand fast follow-up shots and precision accuracy. The Evo is available in .223 REM or .300 Blackout, comes with two 10-round polymer drop magazines, and features a durable Cerakote finish in Grey, Black, or Burnt Bronze. It’s Category B compliant, with WA approval pending, and proudly made in Australia.

Whether you're looking for lightweight agility or modern tactical styling, the Taipan Evo delivers serious performance in a field-ready platform built for Australian conditions.
