I am going to be picking up my SRS this week and would appreciate advice from other DT owners on whether the DT barrels need or benefit from a 'break-in' process or if they are ready to rock out of the box. Thanks

What a great rifle. Went to the range today and with in the first 50 rounds I had several sub 1/2 and a few sub 1/4 groups. I did not get to mount the Ultra 9 but that will happen soon. I was using a SWFA 16x scope. Not the best but it did get the job done. I am using 168 at the time but plane on trying 178 soon.
Very cool. Do you think that would help optimize short mags and saums out of the magnum magazine?
Hey guys, Does this brass look healthy or a bit overcharged?
DTA SRS A1, TS customs 338lm w/ 10 twist.
New Lapua brass, Berger 300g OTM w/ .015 jump, 215m, Retumbo 91g.
Does anyone know the DTA factory ammo specs? Powder and charge weight?
That is close to my load of 91.4 out of a 28" barrel at 2770 fps. I had the same pressure signs from same exact components. For me not have any mark I would be well below what I expect for velocity. Problem is when I back off to the point I don't have any pressure, I feel like the lack of velocity negates using the 300 grainers. It's been a struggle.
Going to be doing a fresh load development for a factory dta .260 rem barrel 26" w/ 8.5 twist. Considering the Nosler RDF 140, and Hornady ELD-M 140 and 147. Open to other suggestions, including berger.
Not sure the extra bc of the eld-m 147 is worth the lower mv. This will strictly be for steel out to 1200 yards. Anyone have any experience with these bullets? Got a basic recipe you like that i can use as a rough starting point?
Had an amazing day of shooting yesterday with my new Dessert Tech and thought I'd share - i fell in love with this rifle the first time i fired it and am still in the "honeymoon" period.
I took my 3 daughters shooting (ages 11, 8, and 5) - they shot 22lr at 200 yards competing for accuracy against each other but by far their favorite was shooting the Desert Tech at 600 yards. Both the 11 year old and the 8 year old hit 3 for 3 at that distance. They haven't stopped talking about it!
a huge thank you to many who had input into caliber, scope, mount, etc input as the rifle is absolutely perfect for me...
Thought I'd share the videos of them shooting - the smile on their faces is worth every penny spent!
What magazine pouches are you guys using for spare mags? Specifically the short action 6 rounders. I found that using a double ar15 mag pouch worked for the thinner section of the 10 rounders as long as it has some elastic expansion.
Going to be selling a follower and spacer for the 5 round SA mags. Made out of Delrin and you use your factory SA spring. I or you can custom fit them to about any length cartridge. (30-06 in the pic) I can make a full length follower for the mag. It would probably perform best with a LA mag spring (that I can provide). Working on how the spacer is secured. Cost is going to be $20 for the spacer and follower, I can install them in your mag for $10. $3 shipping [IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","src":"http:\/\/i.imgur.com\/oRlPlAw.jpg?1"}[/IMG2]

Mark - do you have a spacer that fits 6mm Dasher? Also - is the follower anti-tilt - which would sure be a nice improvement over the factory mags !
Anyone have a barrel extension that they're interested in seliing? I'm looking for the newer version not the set up for pins.
Let me know what you've got.
I have a request. Is anyone able to hook me up with a Desert Tech Gen 2 Barrel Extension? Issue is; I live in Australia. No one here can hook me up. I'm also after a spare bolt with a Lapua Mag face. Lemme know.
Desert Tech and EuroOptic both sell barrel extensions: http://www.eurooptic.com/desert-tech-hti-barrel-extension-ext-a-dt-hti-br-001-a.aspx
Thats for an HTI friend. I'll email though.

After years of waiting, finally in a position to purchase an SRS with 22” .308 barrel. Looking to go through EuroOptic with Hide discount unless anyone knows a cheaper route.
Also, if I start with the 308, will I need a complete 6.5 creed moor conversion kit or just barrel to switch calibers? Thanks, totally new to long range shooting and excited to start learning!

however, once you go 6.5 you may never go back to .308.
I have a 6.5 and a .308. I use the .308 for shorter range fun and because the barrel life is so much better I don't want to burn out the 6.5 too fast. When I get out to shoot I shoot a lot. Not uncommon for me to burn 100+ rounds in a day on my .308.
However you could always go with the .223 conversion instead for a cheaper round to shoot for fun.
Covert is as Covert does.
Plenty of good feedback on the scout site.
Want to be able to suppress my 6.5 and 308 barrels and looking into purchasing the Delta P Design thread adapter to use with my Ultra 7. Anyone have anything good or bad to offer on the Delta P adapter?
Thanks
Ive run one, never had a problem Add's 1/2 inch to OAL. Never a baffle strike, machined well.
Gave my 6.5LRM conversion a work out the other day. Nice mild load and it's sticking 140 berger hybrids in one fuzzy hole @ 3115fps. I wouldn't recommend it for everyone... but it is 6.5mm bliss in the DT platform, no doubt about it. It's easy to get it up over 3200fps, but the brass suffers pretty bad.

Orkan am I seeing things or is there a rail on, or molded into your skins just in front of the trigger?
That's the shadow from the top rail.
It wouldn't be difficult at all to put one there.
Orkan to put a rail there would you mount to the skins or would it be possible to go though and attach to the chassis.
