Good Morning All;
I was looking at both the DTA SRS Covert Sniper Rifle and the Nemesis Arms Tactical Rifle as my two choices on my next rifle.
I have never shot either, but have read such good reviews on both.
I have spoken to the owner of Nemesis Arms and was very impressed by what he had to say about the build of the system. He took me through not only everything that was done to the rifle to make it such a fine choice; but he also took me through the history of the rifle and company itself. He was straight forward and very open to any and all questions I had.
I also spoke with a rep from DTA. Again; the rep knew his product inside and out. Was straight forward about what the rifle was able to do in each caliber offered.
Between the two; I am more inclined to buy the Windrunner at the moment. Although (like the Nemesis), DTA's rifle system has barrels that can be changed out as often as you'ld like, they didnt go the extra mile of nitration (not sure if thats spelled right). Now; I know there's some who say it doesnt matter, but when the hardness of the barrel is around 70 vs 40, the 70 is gonna have the most barrel life, with all being equal.
So Nemesis' barrels should last longer and they come at abetter price.
The other pro to Nemesis is that it breaks down to almost nothing.
Now as far as DTA's Covert System..... If your using the .308 short barrel, you have a duel working system. A rifle that can shoot 500-600 yards, plus a short enough system where you could use the same rifle to clear a building if need be. That part I love.
The other thing that DTA has going for it is that I can go from a 308 to a 338LM with no issues.
If you get the Nemesis System the largest round you can currently go up to is the 338 Fed.
So in this area, DTA has my vote.
The Nemesis System has a screw on / locking syestem for their barrels. The DTA has a locking key system that puts me a little in mind of my Blaser T2.
My Blaser locking system already has play in it, even though I torque it to specs.....this will lead to an unstable barrel that jiggles if I am understanding how the Blaser set up is keeping the barrel in place.
So; I am also wondering if the same issue can occur with the DTA Covert Rifle?
Does anyone here have any shooting time with either weapon? Someone that might help as far as how rugged both rifles are? Or if the locking system for the DTA will also end up with play in it over time, causing the purchase of another 3500.00 Chassis on top of the 2 barrel convertions I'll have to buy at 1500.00 each?
And am I correct as far as the DTA Covert being able to play two rolls with the short 308 barrel to clear a house if the need arised?
I want to that everyone for their input before hand.
And please dont fry the questioner LOL!
