Misc My new cope gun

Post image

My new taipan evo 12.5" in 5.56. It scratches the tacticool itch, but its pump action.

I love lever action… Fun, precise and you keep your weapon stable while shooting and recycling it ! Marlin 45-70 Henry supreme .223 👍🏿👍🏿

Respect your preferences, but I gotta think pump action is more stable and faster than lever, especially when clearing malfunctions.

At least in my personal experience. 870 vs a Henry supreme is night and day, though I’d need to try a pump centrefire to really get a feel for the difference

From what I've seen of both the awesome Henry Supreme and the Evo: more stable when charging, no; faster than lever, conditional yes depending on range. Sporting Shooter's examination of the Taipan Evo is the most practical and informative I've seen so far.
