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

    It was the ejector spring on the 223 I swapped it out for a longer/stiffer one (lol) and it works perfectly now. Run the bolt fast or slow it’s perfect. The bolt lift is light, there is zero signs of pressure on the case, the primer isn’t flattened, cratered or anything. I understand the...

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

    Just picked up a Desert Tech M2 on trade with a couple insite barrels. The 223 is a SAC bolt head, insite barrel, SAC mag (which is amazing). It shot extremely well with some hand loads I already had(see pics), but the ejection is weak. It usually leaves the case on top of the mag. Does anyone...

    Thermal Scope vs Clip on

    Mostly coyote hunting 250m (approx 300 yds) and in. ID beyond that would be nice. I like the idea of a clip on because I could helmet mount it as well. Unfortunately most things are ITAR restricted so I'm stuck with infiray's line up. another large issue is night hunting is technically...

    Thermal Scope vs Clip on

    this is exactly the type of feedback I'm looking for. for Clip on I would use it on two optics a 1-8 LVPO (on a 223) as well as potentially a PMII 5-25 (on a multi cal, but primarily 300 PRC), though my issue with this is I've read 5x on the low end might be too high of magnification for a clip...

    Thermal Scope vs Clip on

    Just wondering what the typical engagement distance is for thermal predator hunting for most? During the day here we typically shoot them anywhere between 50 m and 200 m. I'm trying to decide between putting a clip on in front of an LVPO or running a dedicated thermal scope. so far the YT...

    The "New" Barrett MRAD Thread!!!!!!

    Fondled one of those yesterday. Is that the stock mount that makes it sit up so high on the rail? Be nice if it sat a little lower. Has any one thought to mount on the side of the forend? I have carried for coyotes in an eberlestock backpack and it was fine, sling wise I have a padded backpack...

    Precision Rifles.....show em!!

    They are the NF low rings .885" I had MDT low rings but they were a bit lower and the scope actually hit. Id go with the 1" ones though as it'll allow a little more movement in the scope for mounting. with these there's basically only once position you can put the scope in.

    Oh no another AI vs Barrett vs DT thread

    One bad batch of receivers and they are all junk... Its not like AI had any problems in the past... oh wait I went MRAD. And frankly I think I like the bolt manipulation more than the AI Would I sell all my other rifles and only use this one? no probably not but it fills a void in my...

    The "New" Barrett MRAD Thread!!!!!!

    Very possible imo, carbon barrel or lighter contour, NX8 or vx6, I’d go NF ultralight rings and you should be right there

    Comparable option to Nightforce NX8?

    I've Heard people compare the Zeiss LRP S3 to the NX8. Most say the S3 has better glass but I have no first hand experience with one

    Oh no another AI vs Barrett vs DT thread

    Load an AW mag then load a DT mag and then get back to me. Barrett Mags would be similar to the AW mags I'd assume. AICS aren't bad but the DT mags how they ramp on the shoulder is kinda a PITA. I know because of that they feed well but it's just annoying. That actually a great idea! my 3D...

    Oh no another AI vs Barrett vs DT thread

    I want to like the DT so bad but the mags... they just let the whole system down. I can get over the bolt and bolt feel. But those mags.... Why must they be that way.

    Oh no another AI vs Barrett vs DT thread

    I seen a few instances of it happening but Barrett claimed it was a bad batch of aluminum, The ones I seen were quickly remedied Let's not forget that AI has had its problems too. Hence me waiting 8 months for a new bolt

    What are my options for converting a TRG-42 to .338 Norma?

    I had a Lapua AI in a single feed 30" barrel 28 lb monster of a rifle. 97.5 gr of retumbo pushing a 300 gr bullet. Consistency was spectacular, even shooting was pleasurable. Not a haul in the field rifle though which is why I sold it. My 338 Norma on the other hand while being around 17 lb...

    Thats the Beauty of Barrett over AI. Barrett will sell to anyone for export. AI dealers are stingy and won't export

    What are my options for converting a TRG-42 to .338 Norma?

    338 Norma is a sweetheart IMO a much better cartridge than 338 Lapua. I was in the same place as you. Tried the 338 lapua, then tried 300 nNorma,finally settled on the 338 Norma. Much like 6.5 x 47 Lapue, it's just easy to load to for. All my groups were sub MOA and fairly consistent speed wise...
