From American Rifleman
"The Taipan X is designed and manufactured in Australia by Southern Cross Small Arms (SCSA). Its unique action can be worked by either a straight-pull bolt or pump action, both spring-assisted."

Don't know what to think of them though, seems like they had some issues at first according to the one review but might be good now with the current version...?

Only says "16 1/2 inch". Am I wrong to assume they are talking barrel length?

It's not a semi-auto. Pump, or manual pull. Play ball!

Not much of a discription in the ad. I didn't look carefully. Very scary for a NR!
And expensive!
