    Most collectable sniper rifle

    Re: Most collectable sniper rifle sandwarrior...I'm looking for collectable, historic, and shootable. Under $2k would be nice, which rules out most of the fancy modern day rifles. And the M1C looks REALLY appealing. That said, the only one I saw was listed for $10k on an auction site and...

    DSR-1 vs DTA SRS

    Re: DSR-1 vs DTA SRS Side by side would be nice...as well as your personal comparison when you get the DTA in your hands. Not that I'm looking to buy a DSR, but given their similarities, I'm curious how they stack up beyond price.

    DSR-1 vs DTA SRS

    Re: DSR-1 vs DTA SRS If I really like my DTA SRS (hasn't arrived yet), there's a pretty good chance I'll get the HTI. And pretty much no chance I'll get a DSR given the price.

    DTA Price increase !! (Desert Tactical Arms)

    Re: DTA Price increase !! (Desert Tactical Arms) That's good guns4570. I was starting to get a bit concerned with the comments about feeding issues below 338. And 2700 yards??? Were you lobbing bullets at barns at that range? Isn't the effective range of 338LM more like 1500yards?

    Most collectable sniper rifle

    I'm itching to buy something and after seeing a 303 brit enfield sitting next to an antique sharps at the gun store I started thinking of perhaps getting something historic...yet shootable. Any thoughts?

    DSR-1 vs DTA SRS

    Re: DSR-1 vs DTA SRS I would guess that the 1.7" claim is with the gun sitting in a vice as the world record benchrest is around 3" at 1000 yards. Still seems rather unlikely, but I'd be interested to hear feedback on what accuracy is attainable with a great rifle in perfect shooting conditions?

    DSR-1 vs DTA SRS

    Re: DSR-1 vs DTA SRS Explanation for price perhaps...but not for the claim that the can shoot 10 shot groups at 1000 yards in 1.7 inches I think DTA is 3 in .5 at 100yards. Anyone shot a DSR to validate that claim? Pretty amazing if they can do .17MOA with 10 rounds...

    DSR-1 vs DTA SRS

    Let me start by saying I have a 308 and 338 DTA SRS on order. That said, I'm curious what refinements make the dsr-1 so much better than the DTA rifle? Clearly the latter is based on the former, but the DSR is touted as being sub .2MOA vs the .5MOA of the SRS. Is this just a matter of...

    DTA Price increase !! (Desert Tactical Arms)

    Re: DTA Price increase !! (Desert Tactical Arms) Ratbert, Were you unhappy with your 308? I believe you sold it, so guessing it wasn't a favorite?

    Re: DTA Price increase !! (Desert Tactical Arms) The 338 ammo is more expensive than the 50 unfortunately. I'll be reloading soon...

    Re: HK MK 23 SOCOM I wouldn't pay more than $1500 for a mk23 NIB. Found one really close to that, but I'm pretty set that I won't pay more than that. Of course, now I'm wondering when an HK45T will be available instead. Not that I couldn't get the std and add a barrel, but that seems like...

    DTA Price increase !! (Desert Tactical Arms)

    Re: DTA Price increase !! (Desert Tactical Arms) Trainer??? It's only $7/shot for my 338. You mean .22 or .223 is cheaper than that?

    Re: HK MK 23 SOCOM Bob, Not quite...I'm looking for an HK45T...not HK USP Tactical. I don't even know if they sell them in the US (or anywhere). I just saw that model option on wikipedia and it caught my interest as I do like the HK45 from an ergonomics perspective. SRT...are you aware of...

    Re: HK MK 23 SOCOM hmmmm...hk45T. Now we're getting somewhere. Didn't realize the hk45 had a tactical model with threaded barrel, but that's definitely appealing as the ergonomics of that gun are superb! Can I get an HK45T? I don't see it on their website, but saw it on wikipedia...so...

    DTA Price increase !! (Desert Tactical Arms)

    Re: DTA Price increase !! (Desert Tactical Arms) The conversion kits are going up as well. I think the 308 went from 1300 to 1500. Seems they have the pricing now, so you can call and ask. Fortunately I bought my 338 and 308 just before this happened. And I wouldn't count on them...

    Re: HK MK 23 SOCOM I guess I must be one very lucky gun buyer as I've made money on virtually every one of the dozens of firearms I've bought and sold from jr high to 20+ years later. Buy quality...and buy at the right price. Just thinking...I'm awaiting my new DTA SRS 338 + 308. I put my...

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce Love...

    Re: Nightforce Love... I hear you on the USO. Those sure do look purdy:-) If I recall, they're twice the cost though, so for now I'll save the $$$ and use it to buy my next DTA (HTI) rifle. Of course, once I step up from the DTA SRS 338 to the DTA HTI 375 or 50BMG (hmmm...maybe both)...I...

    Re: HK MK 23 SOCOM BigBoss, Thanks for the offer. A local friend of mine actually has a USP .40...and I'm borrowing it this weekend. I guess I'll see very soon if I like it or not.
