So I finally got a Covert conversion and a 18" 6.5cm conversion kit for Xmas! I'm really digging the smaller package. I tried the 26" 338 barrel with the covert handguard and it works and looks fine with it.
Unfortunately the handguard I got was FDE and my rifle upper is black. Anyone want to...
How do you like your off set red dot? I have been debating on getting one for my Spuhr, just wasn't sure if I should mount it to the Spurh like yours, or get a rail mounted offset red dot mount. Anyone else have experience with them on our platform?
Well since I couldn't find a good deal on a 22" 6.5cm barrel, I think I'm going to go with the 18" barrel and get a covert handguard. I was looking at ES Tac's 22.5 kit, the below graph says I'll lose about 100fps muzzle velocity. Am I going to notice that, any idea on max range I could get...
So I got educated by Spuhr. Very cool, my follow up was inquiring on the brand and where to get them.
"Thank you for your email. The picture is from a military training exercise and is not a picture staged by us. That said, you are correct in that the rear lens cover is closed. It might be...
While looking for a RDS mount for my Spuhr, I noticed something fishy on the Spuhr site.... is it me or is he looking through a scope with the lens cap still closed?
Anyone have muzzle velocities for 6.5cm with a 16" or 18" barrel? Trying to figure and compare it to that of the 22" barrel. Will be shooting it out to 1000-1500 yards at Gunsite. Will be going suppressed.
Not seeing any 6.5cm barrel on DT's site other than the 26".
I bought from them too, got a 3 grooved bolt. Very good quality. Was a bit larger and longer than the stock knob, so I settled on the ones from the Facebook group page.
They're going for $25 with free shipping of course.

Hope the email helps. I've gotten two from him already. Super fast shipping and a great price. Close to the size of the factory knob, if not shorter.
Good to hear. I would be using a Surefire can for sure. I was wondering if a 6.5 would provide better ballistics. Specifically why it isn't offered in an 18" is it doesn't perform well in that length? Debating on getting an 18" in carbon fiber. How much weight would that save? Would the recoil...
Check out the Desert Tech Rifle Shooters Facebook group page. A guy makes and posts great bolt knobs for a great price. https://m.facebook.com/groups/102103276819606?view=permalink&id=588141774882418
I think I've asked this before but don't know if I ever got a response. Is there a reason DT doesn't offer a 18" 6.5 barrel? I'm looking to go Covert now and saw they only had 308 in 18".
What ballistics would I expect between a 6.5 and a 308 in an 18" barrel? Would I be able to get out to...
If anyone is interested in a larger bolt knob. I have one from Phoenix Custom Rifles that was $40. I'll sell this one for $30 shipped. Here's a pic to show the size difference from the DT bolt knob.
....and gone!
Question for the reloaders. Anyone have a good starting point for an accurate as possible ELR 338 round? Next time I want to be shooting better stuff than factory Prime ammo.
Steven Wiley on the Desert Tech Rifle Shooters Facebook group page makes them for $25 shipped. I have an extra gloss black if you want it for $20 shipped.
Www.hopticusa.com they just came out right before my class started. Same place I got the aluminum bullet quiver.
Finally got to put my DT 338 to use! We shot various ranged targets out to 2km.
The Desert Tech ran like a champ here at Gunsite. Had one double feed out of 230+ rounds, but think that may have been user error. I'm very happy with it and their Trasol ballistics app's performance!
1.6km/1...
