They claim to make lots of things no one can find for years and years after they announce it.

That was funny! How about High Point? LolKeltec is a crap rifle but whatever flips your lid.
RUM cases don't fit in the mag. They can be "made to work" but it's not native.Anyone running a custom 300 RUM conversion, and if so how long and do the 338 mags work?
Yep, rather quicklyanyone have this happen to the upper tab on their gen 2 SRS buttplate?
Yep, rather quickly
I would PM Orkan he'll knowIs it covered under warranty? my gun is 2 weeks old!
Outstanding story! I'm glad the 7LRM barrel is working good for you. I expected nothing less, as we consistently see the TS Customs barrels producing ridiculously tiny groups and amazing performance at distance. You owe me a picture of that bull!!!! If it's a picture with your rifle in the frame, it might be worth something to you.

Works extremely well. Feeds far better than the WSM's or SAUM's.How does the 7 LRM feed from the magnum magazines? I imagine it works pretty well, better than the SAUM?
Sounds like you need to hire some more gun loving design engineers!! I may know a guy...
Tough to answer that question, because there are so many variables. If I'm out with my 30" TS Customs and there is 1-3mph wind... I'm making first round hits and 5 shot groups on IPSC targets at a mile +. If it's a typical south dakota day with switching and gusting 12-20mph winds... then that distance gets reeled in to about 1300-1500yds. If the conditions get bad enough, I'm lucky to get a first round hit at a thousand. Killed a mule deer in Oregon couple years ago at 945yds. Hit it 3 out of 3 shots. First shot landed 2 inches above its heart. It was in VERY rough terrain and next to a property line so I decided to keep launching when it didn't hit the dirt after the first one. It was dead on its feet though. Second round it was on the move, and I hit about 2 feet too far back as I didn't lead enough, which spun it around, third shot landed about 8" above the first. It has taken me a lifetime of shooting to get to that point. Truly, your question is "shooter dependent," barrel dependent, and conditions dependent. I'm more capable with my TS Customs barrel than I ever was with my factory tube. It's heavier, faster, recoils less, and more forgiving. Yet a 25mph wind is still hard for me to work in.
If you're talking "max distance ever" then I was out on a beautiful day and put first round hit and 5 shot group on a 12"x24" IPSC at 2150yds. That would be the exception, not the rule. If you put $5000 on me doing it again... I probably couldn't. I could barely even see the damn target.
You got that right! Lots of guys post "lookit" threads where some exceptional thing has been done.. but it was in a vacuum and probably won't be replicated in their lifetime. That's ok, because I love reading about exceptional things. ... but the right perspective is needed when evaluating ourselves based on those exceptional feats. As you can tell, 1-5mph is pretty easy to smash stuff at a mile + with a good 338. If you want to test your mettle... come visit me sometime.but are not repeatable in my experience so far.
I sure am envious of you guys that are 7 or 8 atmospheres higher than I am. Sure can push em out there when you get up higher! I'm looking forward to stretching my 375CT out up there at elevation this fall.
We have brass in stock.I did some searching for 7lrm brass and I didn't turn up anything. Anybody got a source? Looked on gunwerks also.

Sorry chief... it was rainy. No vid. Contrary to popular belief, I do just shoot for myself once in a while.
I am also waiting for a left hand DTA-SRS.
I also wanted to thank Orkan for his help with my TS Customs 7mm LRM conversion. I bought this a few months ago and am headed back from an elk hunt in Utah. I took my Gen 1 SRS because I had so much confidence in it. I have guns (LH) from many of the high end custom gunmakers.
I shot a 1" 5 shot group at 500 yards with my TS Customs 7 LRM.
I shot a 350" bull elk this week off of a tripod with a Pig Saddle adapter at 525 yards. 1 shot. DRT. Feels like cheating. Weather was warm in SE Utah and bulls were all around but hanging in the trees which made the hunting tough.
I sighted in after I got to the ranch. I dialed and shot a rock at 650 yards. I then lasered, dialed, and center-punched a sub-moa rock at 923 yards. This gave me great confidence when I shot my elk. My ability to shoot long range greatly contributed to my success.
BTW- I also used my TBAC 30BA suppressor - legal to use for hunting in Utah and Texas.
Me too.
It'll be a race between AI and Desert Tech.
Hopefully someone can answer this quickly for me....I'm looking at moving into the DTA world. I have the chance of getting a DTA SRS A1 Covert, chambered in .300 win mag (18in barrel). It also comes with 4 mags and monopod. Price is $3900 not including shipping. Should I jump on this? Is the 18 in barrel with a .300 win mag good for long range precision? Thank you for any advice.
Quit waiting and just buy one I am left handed and got tired of waiting. I've had mine for a month or so. It's not difficult at all to shoot, you just have to lift your cheek to cycle. This was today at 500yds. I wasn't trying to shoot fast or anything
3 weeks ago, I almost bought a 308 covert for 3600. But for 4400 I got a brand new 308 SRS. Depends on how price sensitive you are. For me, I didn't need a "covert" length rifle, and actually didn't really want one. Also, one has to ask, what specific application is a 300WM 18" bbl set up for? If you really NEED a very short rifle and your shots are all going to be under a certain range, that may suit you well. On the other hand, according to Dan Lilja, each inch of magnum barrel will sacrifice 15-25 fps in velocity. So you are losing 150-200 fps compared to a 26" barrel, and taking gratuitous recoil with that cartridge at those velocities. It's a goals and values thing for sure.
Well there's math... and then there's experience. I've been shooting in the same place, shooting the same direction, at least 5-10 times a month, for the last 6-7 years. A guy can get to know an area pretty good when you put that kind of time in. A full size IPSC target at 1500yds gets pretty damn easy after a while. Then there's always a bit of luck involved, right? If the first one misses, it isn't by much... and the follow-up's are usually connecting. The benefit of shooting against a gravel pile.Come on! I'm an EAGER student! And I will take care of the videos!
Fact is, there's a lot of boastful stuff here, which requires independent confirmation for credibility. And I offer such an opportunity.
I refer the interested reader to Bryan Litz's book. Accuracy and Precision for Long Range Shooting. Table 18.18. 338 Allen Magnum, 300 grain Berger at 3400 FPS. 1800 yards in a +/- 1 MPH wind, there's a 43% hit percentage on a 15" target. We are talking about an EXTREME overbore cartridge in almost no wind. In a 5 MPH wind, the hit percentage falls to 10%. So, please, dear reader, use a reference when you try to determine the credibility of claims made in these forums.
I would be taking this version on larger game hunts. Would probably invest in the srs a1 full size rails and get a 26" 6.5 cm barrel for precision shooting at distance. My concern is I live in Illinois an can't use a can and I know the covert is geared toward suppressed shooting. So would I lose accuracy and would my effective range be dramatically reduced?

The problem with most of those is the rimmed case. We did a conversion for a guy in 220Swift, and we couldn't get but 3 or so to load properly from the magazine. I modified the follower to allow feeding of the rimmed cases, but as is always the case with rimmed cartridges... they nose-down pretty bad when stacked in a line.Would it be possible to get a 460 or 4570 to feed okay? Reason being ohio has new law so we can use straight walled cartridges and suppressors. I'd love to be able to legally hunt with my rig!
I think you'd like the SRS-A1 a lot better than the covert. I find that the covert is a little too short for most shooting situations. You'd like the SRS-A1 a lot better, especially if you are shooting unsuppressed.I would be taking this version on larger game hunts.

No problem.Orkan, will ts customs install the barrel extensions, chamber, and thread a proof research barrel?

A .450 Marlin may be the answer for you, it is based off a belted magnum case, it does everything the .45-70 will do. Plus you can buy ammo off the shelf.
My 13yr old son shooting the SRS with subsonic 308Win at golfballs at 75yds says to me after shooting for the day..."Dad, I want one of these, how much are they?". My response was "Too much for you and don't tell your mother that".
