Southern Cross Small Arms Taipan EVO Black

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 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.
