where did you get that sling/paracord made? it's freaking bitchn
I made it on a snow day last year. Got around 60 or 70 feet of cord in it and 3 or 4 hrs time. I had tried to sell it or trade it awhile back. (

Would like to see the other sides of your rigs so I can see how this pads fits up
thank you, i was able to get the brake on. with a bit blood n sweat, but it's on 99% horzntl, it was becoming very tight so i left it alone.You don't want them to line up exactly hand tight. Just get close, then torque it down the last bit to line it up.
nice!!!! i like it alot great jobb man, i like plain jane but rough n tough look to it!! sweet looking skins too..........i got everything mounted on mine il post some photos up soonI made it on a snow day last year.

Does anyone know if the .223 and/or .330BLK barrels are for sale yet? I believe SAC? said they would make them.
View attachment 28009View attachment 28010View attachment 28011 the pics might be messed up i for got to adjust them
im not 100% but im pretty sure you are right. but being .260 don't really need one. thank you btw, i also put one on my .308 barrel. dta put that one for my 338 lm. ya some friends of my sis in reno saw pics and went nutty over it!! lolol il be going up there soon to stretch it out. i was considering, the covert model but that 338 lm semi came out, really leaning to that insted. how'd you like the adjustable trigger? you cook up your own loads? im stoked for you, got to take her for a spin...... it's killing me right now lolol im so darn ready
What a day!! Went to the range with a bunch of different factory ammo to try them out. After sighting-in at 50 yrds I enjoyed getting to know my DTA and fine tuning my shooting position.
I'm pretty happy with the results with the Remington 140Gr at 100 yards but then the wind picked up and was really gusty so I can't really gauge the hits at 300 yards. I made the mistake to shoot the lightest bullets at that distance, knowing a 1:8.5 twist would like a heavier bullet better...
I wasn't impressed by the Nosler Trophy Grade 125Gr, the Cor-Bon Performance Match 123Gr Lapua Scenar performed quite well at 200 yards. Too bad my buddies decided to also use my target and shredded it before I could take a picture of the hits ahahah! That's what friends are for right?! I'm gonna order the same but in 139 Gr.
I have to agree with sib1948... It sure draws a lot of attention at the range I must have spent half my time teaching people what that thing was, etc. LOL! Def good times!!
10 round mags.
Ever to be a reality or always to be a myth?
I hear you! The recoil isn't my main concern for a muzzle break, barrel whip is Getting back on target as fast as possible! I'm buying factory ammo for now but will invest in a reloading station soon, first I need that K624i with the AMR reticle!
i just got off the phone with a budy of mine, that ended up putting a brake on his .260 and his groups tightened up. il prob end up doing it also when i order the convers kit. whats up with that shooting range forcing you to stay in the bench pos only?Yup, I'm with you! I really have to learn how to shoot it from the bench as I can't shoot prone the first 20 rounds or so, I let the rifle "do the work" and for some bad barrel whip! Then went back to loading the bipod and holding the monopod and was able to adjust length of pull. Part of the process!! Shooting a bullpup is def different than my Ruger .243 and my M700 .308!!
So, did you put a muzzle break or not?
How's a .338 can sound on a .308? I have mounts on my .338LM and .338BR barrels but I'm considering putting one on my .308 barrel. However, mounts are $300 a pop so I want to make sure it's worth it.
Can anyone with a .260 DTA share a known RL17 load for 140gr class bullets and actual velocity from a factory 26" 1:8.5?
Please don't suggest H4350, none to be found over here at the moment.....
I'm currently above where I had expected to be on the powder charge, seeing no pressure signs but not seeing the velocity I expected.
Anyone experienced issues with 140gr bullets in the 1:8.5? I'm currently seeing way better potential with 123gr but would prefer to shoot 140s as I am well stocked with Berger's and SMK's.
Thanks

OK, I am so close to give up getting my SRS.
9 months and still waiting in the dark..
And what is realy pissing me off is that DTA is keeping me waiting with bullshit!
I just want some relyable information, is that to much to ask???
Pearce
Wish I could, but I'm stuck with DTA Europe..
Pearce
What Country are you in Pearce?
Are you working with DTA Europe directly or through a dealer?
My SRS and 3 barrels took a little over 3 months including UK proof.
Tony
Anyone here shoot 243, 6.5x47 or 300 win factory rounds exclusively? Would love to hear which seem to be working the best...

Brakes are a necessity on magnums like .300WM and .338LM, but on 6.5 and .308s, not so much. At least in the sense that you won't see as much of a difference in recoil reduction, but you may kick up a bit more dirt and dust. Shooting a magnum without a brake can be painful. In fact, I watched a guy get a serious case of scope-eye after cleaning his .300WM with the brake off without putting it back on (don't ask me why). The only reason I have them on my 6.5 and .308 conversions are for suppressor attachment.
RMW, how about using a peel washer on the muzzle device to obtain the desired "clocking".
Respectfully, I disagree. I have both suppressors and brakes. Brakes work 2 X better on recoil management than suppressors. I use brakes on every caliber including my 6mms and 5.56 in 3 gun. I am not recoil sensitive, but in comps, if you are going to put 4 rounds down range in very limited time at a close range (like 200 meters) then I NEED to see where the rounds hit, or all follow up shots are misses. To accomplish this, I use big obnoxious brakes, proper body positioning and usually as little as 8-12 X magnification on my Kahles.
My go to caliber is 6.5 Creedmoor. It doesn't recoil much, but it hardly moves with a brake.
