Re: DTA srs
lonmower good lord...you don't need to see the linkage. I have two of them and the triggers are as good as anything I have shot. In fact one is better than most rifles I have ever owned. I won't allow anyone to touch that rifle.

Re: DTA srs
Either Gen1 or Gen2 will be fine. I'm getting ready to purchase one in 7WSM I will not hesitate to get either. The triggers are the same in both.

Re: DTA srs
My advice is to run the current model, Gen 2. Reason being, at one point or another, there will be more gen 2 models, acc, etc out there to grab. The major diffrence between the 2 is the pin index. As for them shooting diffrent, they're the same.
I have the Gen 2 along with 7 conversations. It does take some getting use to the ergonomics, but once you do, it's an awesome setup.
Word of advice, if you do decide to purchase the DTA, go ahead and spend a little more coin and get the rear mono-pod. That my friend is the best invention ever. Hope this helps.

Re: DTA srs
I called Mark Gordon at Short Action Customs tonight and spoke to him about the differences between the two. What I got out of the conversation is.....
If you have a gen 1, you can run gen 1 or 2 conversions. If you have a gen 2, you can only run the gen 2. His preference is the gen 1.

Re: DTA srs
The Gen ones seem to be selling a bit cheaper... Other than that I don't think it's going to matter. Plenty of people have run the Gen1s with no issue. Don't beat the hell out of the index pin and you'll be fine no matter what.
Buy whichever kit you find that you like best and get a good deal on and I think you will be happy.

Re: DTA srs
Something to think about if you plan on shooting 6.5x47L. According to the factory the Gen II bolts are manufactured with tighter tollerances than the Gen I, which enable the Gen II guns to shoot 6.5x47L right out of the box.
If you do end up with a Gen I and want to shoot 6.5x47L, you can send DTA the bolt and they'll get you set up with a bushing upgrade.
Here's a good thread talking about bushing the firing pin hole and what it's all about: http://www.snipershide.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=870232

I highly doubt that DTA is going to bush <span style="font-style: italic">the bolt</span>. The problem with the 6.5x47 is that you get additional primer flow. The "cure" for that is to bush the <span style="font-style: italic">firing pin</span>. That is what DTA will do to your older bolts.
The linked thread is about reducing the clearance between the bolt and the action. This keeps the cartridge alignment to the chamber more "true".

Actually the thread talks about both bushing the bolt and bushing the firing pin hole. I corrected the wording of my first post. I was referring to the firing pin overpressure issue.
Here's what Russ at DTA said, ..." all new bolts have tighter tolerences and anyone wanting to run the 6.5 is more than welcome to send their original bolt in for the bushing upgrade."
