May I ask why you own 3? That's the beauty of this system is you can have 1 scope, 1 chassis, and 100 different calibers and lengths. I could see an HTI and a SRS with a Covert handguard to swap... But 3?
........does pointing out that you are a "US marine (should be a capital M)..........really have relevance to "shooting the best that is built"..........that point in itself is debatable really?.........a lot of people whould say the AI AW or AX is the best that is built and i don't think the USMC uses them?.........
I have 3 DTAs because.....well.....Im a gun junky.....I have a few...TRG42.....Barrett 107.....Savage 110BR......a 2 DTA SRS A1s, and an HTI with .308, .338L, .375CT, .408CT, and .50 conversions......several Stiller actioned rifles.....always run into someone hurtn for money letting stuff go for pennies on the dollar.....did I mention Im not married either????
Holy F@€k, I thought that I made pretty decent money BUT DAMN. There is no way I could swing all that!
I wasn't aware you could run the 308 in the HTI frame? Maybe I am wrong. Are you still active in the Marine Corps?
Im out of the Corps.....got out in 2005....and yes....I have a .308 in the SRS Covert.....and it is a hell of a rifle....and short
I......am...with......you. Not.......sure.......what.....this......is......about. Kinda......lost. The OP does have one fine collection of rifle implements. Must be fun to go shoot all those combos. Good going.
So DTA has started shipping some of the A1s?!! I wasn't aware any of them had made it into people's hands. Please post your thoughts and feelings of the adjustable cheekpiece in the DTA thread. Pics are always a plus!

I would love to see some pics of these beautiful rifles. Please share some pics. Thanks
Don't really want to call the man a liar, I was raised better than that. But I don't think he has 2 A1's I placed my order early in January and I still don't have mine, and I have not seen any others posting about getting theirs. Maybe he is mistaken about the model he has. But if you do congrats, please do a review with pics.
I know what the OP is talking about. His mistake was even talking about his arsenal. I've got shit so OPSEC that I can't even give you details. Let's just say the Marlin Guide Gun chambered in 416 CHEYETT (super secret Cheytac/Barrett) with a 505 Gibbs boltface and AK47 bottom metal is something I would stake my life on. I've...said...too...much...8451-007
To be fair though, he COULD have gotten a .408 barrel and had a 'smith put it on right? They'd use the same bolt as the 375CT I would assume as well. Similar to how DTA doesn't offer a factory 6.5CM conversion but you can get one from SAC.
Funny, how he says he has two HTI's in this thread lol

I want to buy one of these DTA A1's for pennies on the dollar.. Please keep me in the loop
Uh oh, somebody's arsenal doesn't match up.......
I really like shooting my 3 identical Ballista's too. And NO, I won't post pics or do a review on them....
So you already have 2 DTA SRS A1's and an HTI that goes from .308 to .50 ? and your an 8541, sounds cool.

A1s were ordered at the shot show.....and the wait is very long...almost a year now I think......cal for the HTI are .375, .408, and .50....cals on the A1s are .308 and .338L......one SRS has the short handguard and short covert barrel.........and I dont knows whose crap is the .260??? Oh...and correction.....I only have 1 A1...the other is just an SRS and it is the Covert....thats ok...all you haters out there....dont bother me any.....
No one has an A1 except a few dealers as models. They aren't for sale yet. The A1 was not announced at Shot either bro.
Great informative post....now I know...stuff...about...the...DTA...and...your...collection.

The funny thing is this is a VERY small world. While I may not "know".....I do "know" people who do KNOW......
Absent one falling off the back of a truck or you having a means of obtaining one without having it shipped, what I have been told is NONE of these have shipped as of yet.
Since this thread is going nowhere, why do you think none have shipped yet? It seems they've had ample time to incorporate what really mounts to 3 small changes to their molds/programs/mfring equipment since the announcement.
I try to "know" when possible and not just "think". Like I said, it is a SMALL world and while I might not know, I do KNOW people who do KNOW and I talked with them. So unless the people who are in the KNOW are blowing smoke....then NONE are on the street in the average Joe's hands.....
If you KNOW different......please enlighten us.
It was shown at SHOT, there's several videos of it on youtube but I can't confirm if they were taking orders at that time.
My guess that the reason the A1s have not shipped yet is because they are still filling gen2 orders. I received my gen2 in late march and the gun was completed in early December. I still believe it will be a couple months before we start seeing A1s on the street.
It possibly could be they are building there Euro market up as well. I know that the country of Georgia list the DTA as one of their sniper rifles. Supplying orders for two different islands may be spreading them a little thin, not to mention Law and Gov't contracts. I would think the latter would be filled first.
