MDR development is coming along, one piece at a time, we are still anticipating end of summer 2015 on the release date.
Can you confirm 18.5" barrels for some of us in certain states like CA which require minimum 30" total length???

Anyone looking for a HTI 50, I have one in the for sale section.
That's the beauty of the HTI; you can have your cake and eat it too!I kind of bucked the trend with the 50bmg over the 375, but when I ran the numbers on factory Hornady 750gr ammo compared to the 375 ammo, the 750gr had more range before hitting subsonic than the factory 375 load from DTM. Plus the payload with its sizable splash down range, and the fact that 50 powder, primers, brass, and projectiles are readily available.
I have to agree with you 100% Orkan! I think the 375CT is better for ELR than the good Ol' 50BMG. This being said, the 50BMG takes the cake when it comes down to anti-materiel snipingI prefer 375CT. Far less recoil and muzzle blast. Lighter. Far less powder. Flatter trajectory. Uber-nice ammo readily available from DTM. Etc.
I understand how you feel. Years ago, I felt the same way myself. I've found it's not as simple as that.If I had to choose again I'd still go with the 50bmg, it does everything the 375ct does plus delivers more energy. All at the cost of more recoil, which is a non issue for us barrel chested meat eating types. Not to mention my local sporting goods stores stock match grade and surplus ammo.
You will have a big market in JapanI had my DT covert rifle drawn up with Hello Kitty. What do you guys think? Going to make a patch out of it. View attachment 41064
I loved my SRS until I tried to convert it to the covert and add the monopod......
Looks like I may need new skins and freakin "upper"...!!! Bought my rifle back in 2012 with a SRSand now DTA must have completely new design because it won't work. The "covert" kit I just received as well did NOT work either!! The Foreend threads onto a coupler that itself can thread into the upper and adjusted. My rifle was fab'd with threaded mount integrated.......pisses me off that
1) They don't ask you what variant you have or your serial number before you order; CRITICAL since they've redesigned more than once!!
2) Hey DTA, is it too difficult for you guys to create some instructions/directions on your parts?!? Instead of making your customers waste time to figure if retrofitting accessories will or will not work!!!
I'm gonna bite.I understand how you feel. Years ago, I felt the same way myself. I've found it's not as simple as that.
Good friend of mine is a "barrel chested meat eating type," just like me. Him being a badass, didn't stop the 50bmg recoil from causing several shoulder surgeries, and mildly detaching his retina. He finally got the clue that big recoil isn't "manly" when he was faced with nearly going blind in one eye. He always told me the same thing about 50bmg, in that it will do all the 375CT does "if you are man enough to handle the recoil." Perhaps, but the penalties are severe, and it is usually much more difficult to get a 50bmg to produce the accuracy that is pretty easy to achieve in most 375CT's.
I'm not downplaying your decision. It's clear you've thought the matter through. I just don't want others reading this to think it's 6 of one and half dozen of the other... because it isn't.
Fair enough. 375CT and 50BMG have nearly equal trajectories at 2000yds with loads intended for ELR.I'm gonna bite.
I've been shooting 50's for over 15 years and have fired many thousand rounds, through at least 10 different 50 cal rifles. Just fired 150 rounds last weekend at a match in PA.
I know hundreds of 50 cal shooters and never have had one of them with a detached retina, or shoulder surgeries from firing a 50 cal rifle.
I've had more problems with lightweight African safari rifles and Magnum 3-1/2" 12 gauge shotguns.
If your stupid enough to shoot any firearm thats gonna kick your ass every time you pull the trigger, your an idiot and deserve the consequences for being an idiot.
I've never fired an HTI 50bmg, but after viewing videos of shooters firing one, I think it look's very manageable.
I don't think they would sell the rifle if it might detach a retina, or cause shoulder injury after firing it.
Premier for the time being, until the Tangent Theta's arrive.I'm curious what scopes you guys are running that have multiple conversions. I kind of find it a pain to re adjust my zero and even then I never truly trust it to be close enough to go to a match or even go long range hunting. I'd imagine the premier and march would kick ass with their zero stop design

Easiest zeroing system you will find.
Give me a call if you want to talk about one in detail! We'll have the first TT's to hit the ground.

Great advice guys thanks. I was under the impression different caliber barrels could be all over the place rather than a .300 always being flattest. That's good news for me as I have a .300 barrel right now.
The 300WM being the flattest was just an example with my desired setup, 300WM and .308 Win. I haven't ran the ballistics of the other rounds offered for the SRS platform so I can't say the 300WM is the flattest cartridge available for it.
I just got off the phone with Armament, and they are quite confident that the scopes will be delivered to me in July-early august. This is about a month beyond what was originally slated for the delivery when they predicted the timeline back in January. Not bad, considering the specifics at play.1. When will the TT's actually be hitting the ground, date please?
2. Have you personally shot the HTI .50 BMG and what is your opinion of the recoil? Worse than a 7 lb. .300 win mag without a brake? I'm thinking about buying one is why I'm asking. Just always wanted a .50 and I can always get the .375 conversion for it later if I'm too much of a pussy.
It's certainly one way.Jdboy, that's exactly how the vast majority of us do it and that's how it was intended to be done.
Soooooo..... Is there a time line via serial numbers on the DTA's that is available for us to help figure out part compatiblity? From one gun to the next? To help us guys out trying to buy take off parts from someone else's gun. The only real clear break that the most of us have figured out is Gen 1 vrs Gen 2. And come to think of it I have never seen that serial number brake either.... Just wondering....
Yeah, I'm probably over thinking it. I grew up in the farming industry and serial number breaks sure simplify figuring out what parts fit what....
Thanks
Not sure the dimensions but the 10 dollar bag from Midway works awesome for me and my DTAI just picked up a dta package from the px here and am looking for a good rear bag for accurate bench shooting. It has the monopod but I have a hard time keeping it rock steady. I have a sr8t laced bag I loved for my trg but seems a bit big for the srs. Also have a rabbit ear protektor that is about 3 1/2" to bottom of ears, which is too tall. The str8t bag is about the right height laying flat but is 7"x9" takes up too much space with the magazine sitting there. Rifle has an atlas in front and looks like it needs around 2 - 2 1/2" of bag under the rear. Would like a heavy fill for bench/range use. What are you guys using? Thanks for the help.
