Re: Idea! Official DTA SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Th

Guys, I'm sure it's been discussed ad nauseum somewhere here - but I can't find the answer: it <span style="text-decoration: underline">is</span> OK to dry-fire DTA SRS (without the snap-caps), right?

Tnx!

New Lapua Brass, Federal 215M primers 92.5 grains of VV N560 3.685 OAL.
Group.626 Sub 3/4 MOA (First 100 yard Group with first test barrel)
Load is over factory recomended, I have had no problems with it in DTA chambers.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Mute</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Question for all you DTA owners. Did you guys order your rifles direct from DTA or from one of their dealers? </div></div>

I think you will find that most were ordered from dealers.

That's how I ordered mine and if there is one in your area I would suggest that you support a local guy. If there is ever an issue your dealer should take care of you.

Re: Idea! Official DTA SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Th

I have not read the thread in a while, but it sure has developed since it's beginning.

Fredo, can you shoot me a price on a SRS handguard? It looks like the covert guard is not going to work on a SRS but I am wanting to run the 16" 8 twist barrel for subsonic rounds and I'm thinking I can just turn down or cut the regular SRS handguard and make it do the same thing.

Thanks

Re: Idea! Official DTA SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Th

There's something I'd like to see in the nextgen SRS - modular handguard so we can go long or Covert

Re: Idea! Official DTA SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Th

If the SRS becomes modular and convertible to a Covert, I don't think they can make enough to keep them in stock. Those things will probably fly off the shelves as soon as they land. Modularity was my first thought when I first saw the Covert at SHOT.
 
#664
Re: Idea! Official DTA SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Th

Who's going to buy the covert if you can just switch the SRS to a covert? Think about it guys, if they did a conversion sure it would fly off the shelfs but who would buy a covert?

Re: Idea! Official DTA SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Th

Exactly the reason I have a Covert AND a standard 22" barrel coming Friday. Currently, you can't do that the other way around (16" barrel on the standard chassis) without using a saw. Having said that, I think I would have chosen the Covert chassis/16" barrel setup and an extra (longer) barrel, regardless. Just my personal preference.

Re: Idea! Official DTA SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Th

We locktight the handguards on all the guns and many of them are very difficult to remove without damaging the handguard, we don't want guys trying to take them off and damaging them because they didn't have proper tools to remove them, plus if we sold covert handguards then we wouldn't sell as many coverts, besides once you shoot a covert your gonna want it dedicated anyhow.

Re: Idea! Official DTA SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Th

Picked up my Covert yesterday - it's a beatiful piece of work and I am pumped that I was able to get the monopod installed (which I understand is not a feature that will be offered too broadly).

To the poster asking where you might purchase a DTA, I would suggest checking in with Alan Handl at Top Notch tactical. He set me up nicely and is a high quality guy.

Re: Idea! Official DTA SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Th

I got a shark a few months ago and love it. It is amazing how quiet a 338 can be and the people beside you will love you for having it over a muzzle brake. You should give him a ring since he is in Dallas also.

Re: Idea! Official DTA SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Th

Hi guys,
I'm a little late to the party here, but have a second-hand SRS in .338 scheduled to be delivered tomorrow. If I like it as much as I expect to, I plan on ordering a 22" .308 conversion to go with it. Just a few questions:

- Are there any aftermarket triggers available for this system? I'm a 2-stage guy to the core and try to outfit all of my rifles with a good 2-stage trigger. I realize the challenges to this due to the bullpup design, but thought I'd ask anyways.

- Is the soft case from DTA worth $375? Not really any info or pics on the website that I can find. If it's a top-quality, bomb-proof, USA-made case that can hold the rifle, extra conversion, accessories and ammo I might bite, but if not, that's a LOT of money. Do any of you guys have pics of one, and know who is making them?

- Are the conversions typically in-stock?

Sorry if these questions have been covered, but I just don't have the time to slog through 27 pages of stuff.... Any info from users or DTA staff will be much appreciated.


Thanks,
Erik

2 stage prototype trigger was made Friday due to a speciific request. So they will most likely be available at some point.

Page 13 of this thread has photo's of the soft cases, I am at the shop now if you want specific photo's PM me.

We have all barrel conversions in at the moment and try to keep them stocked.

Dunno, trying to get her out here to do some Covert photo's. We will see if shes up to some shooting if it works out.

Re: Idea! Official DTA SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Th

I had my new Covert out at the range for the first time today. What gives??? Nothing resembling that bikini-clad gift from the gods came with it...nor did I encounter anyone like her while shooting today. A clear case of false advertising (LOL)! Thank goodness she's a brunette...a not wearing a plate carrier!

Re: Idea! Official DTA SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Th

Thanks, I've been in the Aussie bush all week, ridiculously far from the internets. So glad they offer a different reticle - looks cool.
 
#689
Re: Idea! Official DTA SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Th

If you ever make your way back here to S. CA from Aussie, you can look through mine. The lack of reticles I wanted was the only thing that had kept me from getting one after looking through one the first time. Not a problem anymore.
