SCSA Taipan EVO Scout – .223 Wylde (12.5" Barrel)
Built for speed, versatility, and rugged backcountry performance, the Southern Cross Small Arms (SCSA) Taipan EVO Scout brings modern tactical ergonomics to a fast-cycling, non-restricted platform. Chambered in .223 Wylde, this compact rifle safely and accurately fires both .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO ammunition, making it an ideal choice for range days, predator control, and brush hunting.
Dual-Action Versatility
Engineered with a smooth, spring-assisted pump action, the Taipan EVO Scout allows for rapid follow-up shots while keeping your support hand firmly in place. For shooters who prefer precision bench shooting or prone positions, the integrated side-mounted straight-pull charging handle offers a secondary way to cycle the action effortlessly.
Compact & Lightweight Design
Weighing in at approximately 2.5 kg (5.5 lbs) with a maneuverable 12.5-inch barrel, the EVO Scout is easy to carry on long treks and quick to shoulder in tight quarters. The barrel features a 1/2×28 TPI threaded muzzle, giving you the freedom to mount your preferred muzzle brake, compensator, or flash hider.
