For those of you wanting a 10 round mag, would you want a longer single stack mag, or would you be willing to pay for a new set of skins that could run a double stack mag?
Are 10 round mags for sure going to happen?
I have been told they are in the works. The thing I would like to know is that if given the choice, would you want a long single stack mag that utilizes your same stock skins? Or would you be willing to pay for new stock skins that allow you to utilize a double stack mag?
Whatever for me. Im ordering a new chassis soon.......
or can they get some brain storming together and still keep the single feed magwel fit with double stack in the mag? just thinking out loud, sure not a gun smith in any way at all. but with these days of engineering and builds is that possiable?!

Hopefully that is something that we will see this year. If I had my wish list for DTA this year, it would include 10 round mags, left handed SRS/Cover Chassis, and left handed HTI Chassis.

I'll measure mine this evening, if you don't have a reply by then.Anyone here with an SRS -A1 .308 .22" barell?
Could you please measure the total rifle length with the new buttpad and no spacers attatched?
Initially I thought that would be a good idea as well. Then I talked to a few customers and the thought of having to buy a new skin set was a huge turn off to them. They would like more rounds on board, but not at the expense of buying new skins. As you also mentioned, some of them would be impacted by the shorter OAL as well.Why not make the skins work with AI mags...sure the COL is decreased but you wouldn't have to design a mag as well. This isn't ideal but it's an option.
Having to swap out skins for a new 10rnd mag would certainly reduce the number of people that would buy them. If it doesn't work with all current rifles, it would be very unlikely that they would recoup the cost of R&D.
This is the Surefire design I was thinking of. After a little digging I found it uses a very clever nested follower - that's a lot of R&D cost. They retail for circa $120 but with a huge addressable market.
What would we be willing to pay for something like this in a short .308 format from DTA......
I suggested that when I was at DTA. There was a professional 3 gunner in the shop, and immediately, he commented on how unreliable the surefire mags have been. Reliability is a must for me. If that means having to purchase new skins for $200, I would be willing to do that.
By the way guys we are caught up on most of our back log now and have some guns in stock

I got ya covered. It measures 33".Did you measure it?

I got ya covered. It measures 33".
We are not doing a new set of skins guys. Any future mags will fit existing stocks.

orkan hit the nail on the head. DTA SRS A1 with 22' barrel and no muzzle brake measures 33' to rear of thick butt pad without extra spacers. Sorry, I got tied up last night.I got ya covered. It measures 33".
Is it a bad idea to move the bipod closer to the trigger guard for less hop? Worked on my PTR91....or do I just need to practice consistency?

Nice glass upgrade! Moving the bipod closer to the butt of the rifle is popular with some folks, as they claim it reduces hop. Some don't see that benefit, though, so there's some individual difference. Give it a try and see if it works for you.
Hi all!
New SRS-A1 owner in .260 Rem here. I shot an early Gen1 in 338LM many years ago and got totally hooked on the design. It's taken me quite a few years to get to the point to where I could afford to purchase one, but that great day has come and I picked up mine from my local dealer on Monday. (Not to rub it in, but my dealer had an A1 chassis in stock and the .260 Rem barrel conversion kit arrived before the rifle even did it's 10-day jail time.)
A friend loaned me his Premier to use until I can figure out what glass/reticle I want, but unfortunately his mount isn't high enough to work on the SRS, so I've gone ahead and ordered a 30 MOA DTI mount for it. (Is that a good friend, or what?) I can't wait to get it all together and get it out to the range!
While I was waiting for the rifle to get out of jail I read every... single... post in this mega-thread. Wow! What a great source of information and a superb primer for any new owner.
Now that (I think) I've got my optic squared away, my next challenge is to find some powder to reload with—I can't afford the Cor-Bon or Southwest Ammo on a regular basis. Friends who shoot .260 Rem seem to like H4350 or H4831sc, but finding either of those is tough. I've seen some posts here with folks using RL17, and the reloading guides suggest RL22, but both of those seem in short supply, too. IMR 4831 is somewhat available, and although (apparently) not as temperature insensitive as the Hodgdon version, I may run with that while I keep my eyes open for the Hodgdon.
I plan on using the 139gr Lapua Scenars or the 140gr Berger Hybrids in Lapua brass. Any suggestions for distance off the lands for these bullets in DTI's barrels?
I bought the A1 to join a couple of friends who shoot with the NorCal PPRC competitions. I'm looking forward to learning about a whole new shooting discipline!
I'm also looking forward to participating here on the Hide—thanks!
