Key Features
Caliber Versatility
The .223 Wylde chamber specification provides optimal compatibility across both .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO ammunition types. This allows for superior accuracy potential with .223 Remington match loads while safely accommodating higher-pressure 5.56 NATO rounds, ensuring operational flexibility for various applications.
Ergonomics & Control
The rifle features an A2-style pistol grip for a proven and comfortable hand position, facilitating consistent trigger manipulation. An enhanced flat-face trigger system optimizes pull characteristics, providing a crisp, predictable break for improved shot placement. The chassis-integrated skeletonized stock includes a padded buttstock, mitigating recoil impulse and enhancing shooter comfort during extended use.
Accessory Integration
A full-length Picatinny rail positioned atop the receiver provides a stable and extensive mounting surface for optics, ensuring precise alignment and repeatable zero. The M-Lok compatible handguard offers multiple attachment points for lights, lasers, and other mission-essential accessories. QD sling swivel sockets are integrated, allowing for rapid and secure sling attachment. The 16.50″ stainless steel barrel is threaded, enabling the direct attachment of muzzle devices or suppressors to further mitigate recoil and muzzle flash, or reduce sound signature.
Construction & Finish
The Taipan X chassis is treated with a dark gray Cerakote finish, providing superior resistance to abrasion, corrosion, and chemical exposure, ensuring long-term durability in diverse environments. The 16.50-inch barrel is crafted from stainless steel for enhanced longevity and consistent bore integrity, featuring a 1:8 twist rate optimized for stabilizing a wide range of projectile weights commonly used in .223 Wylde.
