    DTA SRS Monopod

    Having a last minute thought on adding the factory installed monopod to my DTA SRS 338/308 rifle system. Anyone have thoughts on either recommending for or against this $350 add-on?

    DTA Price increase !! (Desert Tactical Arms)

    Re: DTA Price increase !! (Desert Tactical Arms) Under 5k is a virtual bargain compared to the similar DSR1 rifle at $15k. It's all a matter of perspective. And the quick barrel changes are key. I'm getting the 338 and 308 to start...and I can't imagine buying 2 2k scopes to put on...

    What's your effective range???

    Re: What's your effective range??? Nice video Fredo. And while I'd say the shooting was impressive...I couldn't say it's effective as that totally depends on your goal. For the intent of this thread, I'm curious to see just how far out people can shoot within 1MOA for different...

    Powder metering chamber

    Re: Powder metering chamber Sounds like the Chargemaster is rated pretty well in its category. How does that compare to something like the Redding MatchGrade 3BR? I'm looking for reasonable speed...but since I'll be shooting at 1000 yards, I don't want to sacrifice accuracy.

    Powder metering chamber

    Just bought a Redding T7 turret and looking for the next part of my reloading setup...powder measurement. I like the idea of using a metered setup, but looking for opinions on using that vs digital or other scales??? My primary focus will be reloading 338LM, but I'll reload 308 and .44 as...

    Most collectable sniper rifle

    Re: Most collectable sniper rifle This post was a bad idea for me. Instead of getting an idea for one good collectible & historic rifle...I now have 3-4 rifles running through my head that I want to buy. At the top of the list are the Sharps and M1D (CMP papered).

    What's your effective range???

    Re: What's your effective range??? I'd say 60% hit rate onto a 1MOA sized target for any given range. At least then you can say you're more likely to hit a target than not.

    What's your effective range???

    Re: What's your effective range??? sr90...Still waiting on my SRS rifle. Get that to me soon so I can get out there instead of just satisfying my curiosity of how far others can shoot:-)

    What's your effective range???

    Inspired by Fredo's 2700 yard attempts...I'd be curious to hear about everyone's outer limits of effective shooting. So, what distance can you guys shoot with consistency under 1MOA? Please provide details of the distance, rifle, scope, and ammo. And of course...if you have pics...

    DTA Price increase !! (Desert Tactical Arms)

    Re: DTA Price increase !! (Desert Tactical Arms) sr90, If you had to pick one of the DTA rifles for shooting that distance...which caliber would you go with and what scope? I've heard a lot of good things about the 375 given it's supersonic for quite some range...but then I've also heard...

    DSR-1 vs DTA SRS

    Re: DSR-1 vs DTA SRS LOL. Kidding of course on the 5k comment! Mind you...I'd take it in about 30 seconds at that price, but a person would have to be pretty desperate to sell a 15k gun for that price. In any case, I think I'll be taking the other recommendations and keeping my DTA SRS in...

    DSR-1 vs DTA SRS

    Re: DSR-1 vs DTA SRS Nice! You think he would take $5k for that gun? I mean, the economy is still in a rough place ya know? Besides, I wouldn't want to put myself in the same place as the guy that said his wife would smother him in the night if he spent the 15G's. At 5k, I think I'd at...

    DTA Price increase !! (Desert Tactical Arms)

    Re: DTA Price increase !! (Desert Tactical Arms) Just to be clear...I'm not saying anything bad about the DTA SRS...I like it...which is why I bought one. And in fact...there's a good chance I'll buy the HTI when it comes out. My comment was related to the effectiveness of a human firing a...

    DTA Price increase !! (Desert Tactical Arms)

    Re: DTA Price increase !! (Desert Tactical Arms) sr90, I'm not knocking the 338 or SRS (as I have one on order...in 338 and 308). I guess I'm just saying I see it more like mortar rounds at that distance than precision marksmanship (given current data/knowledge). If the goal were...

    DTA Price increase !! (Desert Tactical Arms)

    Re: DTA Price increase !! (Desert Tactical Arms) Ahh...yes, 2700 yards. But at that distance, really does seem like lobbing rounds down range. If it takes 13 shots to hit a target that large, I wouldn't really call it "effective". Yes, you'll hit the target eventually, and it may still...
