Anyone out there shooting an SRS WITHOUT the mono-pod? If so are you bagging for a rear support? If so what bag set up?
I ask this because I Ordered my SRS-A1 without the Pod; At the time I thought $350 was an obscene price for a threaded insert w/screw. Now reading over several threads about how the SRS monopod is the greatest thing since sliced bread has got me thinking..... Is it actually worth the price?
Anyone have a video of the actual mono-pod operation?

Yep. Also on a .338LM. However, I seated primers for that batch with a Co-Ax instead of my hand primer, so I haven't ruled that out as the culprit. Let us know what you find out.
Just a heads up for you guys running short 338's. Thunderbeast cans seem to be a very bad idea with our rifles: http://www.snipershide.com/shooting...s/267103-thunderbeast-suppressor-blew-up.html
Many of my customers have several barrels for their DTA's. No point in me recommending or selling a suppressor that won't work on all of them. This is important information that can have drastic consequences for the shooter, both financially and medically. I've sold quite a few thunderbeast cans, both directly, and indirectly, so I have no desire to flog a company for no reason. Yet the fact that this has happened 3 times, and there isn't a nice big warning to that effect on their website, or have been pushed out to the thunderbeast dealers is a disservice in my opinion. It's not like .338 cans are cheap. Bottom line: This is information that should be out there, so customers have a chance of learning these facts and using them to make a purchasing decision that best fits their situation. If it can take the pressure at 20", but can't take the pressure at 18"... that tells me the design is very near its limitation. Sure, the farther away from the chamber you get, the less the pressure... but that's not really the only deciding factor for customers buying switch-caliber rifle systems. I wasn't aware of this as being an issue, and thunderbeast clearly has not gone out of the way to make it known.Thunder Beast works great on our rifles. Just don't run one on an 18" .338 LM barrel. I have been using them for nearly 4 years without any issue. They are noticeably quieter than the Desert Tech suppressors. The Desert Tech Monocore design is stronger than a typical baffle stack and is slightly lighter than the Thunder Beast counter part. Desert Tech has told me that their .338 suppressor is good good to go on the 18" .338 LM.

Personally, I'd rather have a can that will take the workload of any of the barrels my customer has, or could ever get, within reason. Protecting our customers investment goes beyond the initial sale. Why would I advocate a suppressor that can do half the job, when there are cans available that will do the whole job? Obviously the DTSS isn't as quiet as others out there... but it is lighter, and shorter than almost all of them, not to mention being damn accurate. It has the added benefit of not turning into a grenade on a Covert 338. I'd rather it be a little louder than risk a permanent injury, for myself or my customers.
Whoa whoa whoa... back the truck up there chief. I SPECIFICALLY said that in reference to short barrel 338's.To blatantly post that Thunder Beast suppressors are no good for our "DTA" rifles is propaganda and a flat out lie. There is a known issue with using TBAC .338 suppressors on ultra short .338 LM rifles. This affects all rifles not just DTA. This is also limited to the .338 LM cans.
"Our"... meaning those with short 338's. Being called a liar is NOT something I'm prepared to tolerate. Especially when its clear that there is some brand loyalty taking place here... or did someone else's can recently break a mans collar bone? Clearly you like the TBAC cans, and that's perfectly fine. I've been an advocate for them in the past as well. Read that again. Make sure you understand that statement in bold. If DTA's can was blowing up and injuring people, I wouldn't be singing a different tune, despite how much I like them as a company and love their products. Facts are facts.Just a heads up for you guys running short 338's. Thunderbeast cans seem to be a very bad idea with our rifles:

Thanks, Nesika. I was also shooting CCI250's.So I guess this looks like a primer issue NOT a DTA issue.

I've got a Gen 1 from the first batch of 100 rifles and look forward to...some day...getting the receiver milled out to accept the monopod
I spoke with Nick last month at the Desert Tech match in Utah. After shooting the match with my SRS, I told him I really wanted 10 round mags and that I felt like not having them was a huge disadvantage in a match format.
Also, does anyone know of a bipod set up that is similar to the Sako stock bipod, so pivot closer to bore axis.
my 2 cents regarding the monopod. overpriced, absolutely. 100% glad I included it on my rifle, and all other rifles w/o feel like they are missing something...
There was a guy that posted one for sale yesterday or the day before. Search for itThat's what everyone seems to think so I guess I may need to fork out the $$$ for a mono-pod.
Anyone on here selling one at the good guy price?

Sweet, thanks! Ill search the classifieds
Elite Iron Revolution, Expensive but effective and about as close to bore axis as you can get
Cool bipod. One question - does the bipod rotate around that ring allowing the rifle to cant?
Ya know I thought about posting it for sale here, but figured I was better off staying in the classified. Outside of that, I have a question. Anyone turn down or have a smith turn down the DTA thread pattern to a 5/8-24 before? Wanting to know if it could be done before I send off for a reducer. Thanks.
Ummmm.... yeaaaaahhhh. I know what will be in my safe when it's available!

Yes the bipod will rotate a full 360 oround the collar. There is a nut at the 6 oclock to set the tension of the bipod. Only disadvantages are price and weight, but after the first 8k and 21lbs. Its all kind of the same. It does provide a rock steady position.
We do not have any bolt heads in stock, but we have bolts.anyone have a magnum bolt head you're willing to part with . Or know where I can purchase bolt head separately?
