    Official (DTA) SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Thread

    I just saw a video from @coldboremiracle using a 6GT barrel. I’ve been out the loop for a couple years, I didn’t know that a cartridge that short would work. How many others have used a 6GT in their SRS? Feed for a standard short mag okay without crazy modifications?

    Official (DTA) SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Thread

    Pulled the trigger this afternoon on a new SRS-M2 in FDE with a 22” 308 kit. Should get it later this week. Local supplier had a big sale that I couldn’t pass up. Very excited to get back into a SRS and glad I found a M2 in the colour I wanted.

    Official (DTA) SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Thread

    Maybe that wasn’t the right wording haha, it does look like fun for a few shots, just not long term. What load/ velocities do you get with your 18” 338 barrel? There is a used A1 covert for sale that I could grab that would come with a 16” 308 kit and a 18” 338 kit but I just figure the...

    Having had the A1 in standard and Covert already I really don’t find a use for the covert length for my purposes. A standard length forearm with a 22” barrel is plenty short for me. And since I’m in Canada I can’t play with suppressors, so 16-18” barrels with muzzle breaks aren’t my idea of fun...

    I appreciate that, thanks. I’m curious to see what the numbers will be. I would buy from you in a heartbeat but I’m in Canada.

    After cycling through a stupid amount of rifles including 2 Desert techs( an A1 and an A1 covert), a TRG-22, an AI AX, and a handful of customs I’ve come to the realization that I never should of sold/ traded the SRS A1’s that I had. With that said, I’m looking at jumping back in to the fold...

    Sako S20 280ai build

    Definitely different than the Tikka, the Sako S20 is M27-1.5 same as a TRG. Any decent gunsmith should be able to cut metric threads.

    Sako S20 280ai build

    I’ve read a few reports/ watched a few videos of troubles with the short action mags, but the long action cartridges don’t seem to share the same issue.

    Sako S20 280ai build

    I would be really interested to hear how you make out with this project. I’m a huge 30-06 fan and I’m in the middle of a custom build but I was also intrigued by the S20 mags, just the fact that you can get double stack 10 rounders that have generous room. I can’t see any reason why it...

    Canadian 6.5 build Canada

    Here is a another mostly Canadian build on the slightly cheaper side. Ultimatum gen 1 action that I bought used off CGN, IBI 1:8 223 barrel, MDT elite brake, MDT XRS chassis with enclosed forend and adjustable butt. Really like the Ultimatum action. I’ve wanted to try one for a long time but...

    Input on future rifle.. Christensen TFM or SAKO TRG 22A1

    I’ve shot a total of one Christensen, a 308 MPR, so my sample size is small. That being said, I was impressed with the quality of their chassis but that’s about it. The rest of the rifle is just a polished Remington 700 with a carbon barrel that has had a lot of mixed reviews for consistency...

    Precision 30-06 builds

    You mean there's someone else out there that shoots PRS with a 30-06?! I haven't done it yet but I plan on it. You should here the screams of "that's a terrible idea!!" LOL. What load are you shooting for PRS stuff?

    Precision 30-06 builds

    How the hell did I miss this thread?! HUGE 30-06 fan. I’m gathering parts for my first 30-06 build right now. Have everything except the action, waiting on the new ARD CDG. ARC Coupe De Grace pivoting handle with 30moa rail MDT XRS with enclosed forend and adjustable butt pad. Paradigm...

    Paradigm Carbon barrels?

    True, I’m sure a PVA would be a sure bet. I’m just amazed there is so few reviews out there for Paradigm. I’m not a Google idiot and I’m having a hard time finding much at all.

    Paradigm Carbon barrels?

    Gobigtactical in Canada still has a few. My options in Canada that are easy to get are Paradigm and PVA from Gobigtactical, and Hardy Carbon from Insite arms. All around the same price. There’s also IBI’s carbon at $300 cheaper than the others I listed but they’re a 3 month wait and they’re...

    Paradigm Carbon barrels?

    Who here has experience with these barrels? It’s between one of these 0.308 1:9t or a PVA carbon 1:10 twist for a 30-06 build. Very little info on these barrels. From what I can find, rock creek liners and they can be cut to any length you wish. I’m tempted to go with PVA because they’re...
