Create a channel Learn moreThat sounds like about as good of an experience as you can get in customer support. I'll be cancelling the Nucleus pre-order and starting to save for an SRS A1 or Covert."This is a very uneducated question since I'm contemplating getting a DT SRS A1. How do you all like the trigger on yours?"
When I first got my SRS the trigger had a little creep. Most SRS A-1s come with a trigger that is adjustable for both pull weight and creep. For some reason, my trigger did not have a creep adjustment screw. I called DTA customer service to see if I could buy the more adjustable trigger. Instead, they suggested I send the chassis in and let them have a look at it. They did some work to it (but did not replace it) and it came back with the best trigger of any rifle I have ever owned. I actually like it better than my TRG-22 trigger and that is extremely high praise indeed! It now has a 1.5 lb pull weight, zero creep and is extremely consistent. I've put at least 600 rounds through it since I got it back and it has been flawless. And by the way, no charge for the work, DTA covered the shipping both ways and turn around time was two weeks including round trip shipping.
That is awesome customer support. I love my trigger after adjusting the creep and weight as low as possible."This is a very uneducated question since I'm contemplating getting a DT SRS A1. How do you all like the trigger on yours?"

I just won SRS A1 in .260 on GB. If I want to shoot .308 and .223 do I only need the barrel in the appropriate caliber since it has bolt/magazine?
Any other hints/tips/suggestions appreciated.
It is great to hear that DT has awesome customer service & that they did not charge you. I have always loved their bolt-action rifles, wanting one for years. One day I am going to save up and buy one; it's been my dream gun for a while."This is a very uneducated question since I'm contemplating getting a DT SRS A1.

Sir,
Which barrel did you get?

Has anyone had good success with any of the 6mm cartridges? I'd love to be able to run the Dasher, but willing to look at others.
Oh ok I have the factory barrel in 308 as well and it did the 3 in 1 I showed earlier. I am looking at the 6.5 as well.Cro , i have DT 300wm , 308 and 6.5 cr barrels . unfortunately aftermarket barrels are harder to come by in australia . otherwise id have a few more . the factory barrels are fantastic . Low SD/ES on all 3 of them and repeatable
6cravemoor also works well for me.Has anyone had good success with any of the 6mm cartridges? I'd love to be able to run the Dasher, but willing to look at others.
Thanks now I need to find a barrel.
Lucky, indeed; wish I were you. I've been trying to save up for one for a looong time (still not there), but hope to be some day. Enjoy it!Lucky bastard. If I were you, I'd forget about 308 and shoot that 260. If you don't want to invest in all the requisite reloading stuff, the Hornady factory match ammo with the ELD bullet shoots pretty much lights-out.
I coulda told you that, a friend tried that years ago and ended up so frustrated he sold the whole rifle. @soniccrack might be able to mod the mags for you.I had a barrel spun up for my SRS in 284 Win and I'm having feeding problems. The short action mag is too short to accommodate the long 7mm bullets. I tried a long/magnum action mag and that won't work either. I thought by bending the mag lips a little I might get it to work, but the gap doesn't seem to be the problem. The mag lips are just too short. The case releases before the bullet has entered the chamber. The short action mag lips extend much further towards the front of the mag and hold the case securely until the bullet enters the chamber.
The only way it appears that I could get this to work would be to create a hybrid mag by removing the spacer in a short action mag and then inserting a long action follower. The spacer appears to be tack welded in and probably impossible to remove without destroying the mag.
Am I missing something? Has anybody found a way to run medium length cases like the 284 Win successfully?

Thats why I went with the SAUM, not nearly as tempermental as the 284, and just a touch spicier.I guess I should have done a little more homework on this before ordering the barrel.
I just reached out to Sonic Crack. Bradu thinks he might be taking some time off, but hopefully he can help me out if he is still working. If not, no big deal. The barrel shoots really well and I love the caliber. I have another rifle chambered in it so I already had all the dies and loading supplies on hand. Worst case scenario, It'll be a single shot rifle with the 284 Win barrel. I intended it solely for LR target shooting anyway, not hunting or PRS.
Call DT direct. I had to have my ejector spring replaced.
Anybody using 6.5PRC and if so, what mags or modifications did you need to do to the mags?
I don't remember who was talking about a 375 cheytac in an srs but I see where David Tubb is coming out with a 33xc that will give similar performance to a 375 cheytac on a lapua bolt face. Just thought I would post about it in case they haven't seen it on Facebook
ThanksI assume it will be the same modifications as the 6.5 SAUM needed. Standard Mag and open up the lips a bit... I used a HS precision mag tool. Worked like a charm!
That was me. I bought some once fired Peterson 375 brass from Tubb and was tossing the idea of a project around. I haven’t seen his FB page in a while; thanks for the heads up.
6cravemoor also works well for me.
Desert Tech sells them.Where can I find SRS A1 skins for purchase (looking for any color other than black).
Found out today that Desert Tech sells Covert handguards that you can buy to convert an SRS A1 to a Covert when needed, that's pretty cool and something I'll probably immediately buy once I order the chassis in a few months.
I was told $515 since it has to be a full kit to get access to the castle nut that holds the forend in place.Im guessing they do a covert to a standard srs-a1 as well too right? What is the pricing on it?
What brass are you running in your saum and how's it holding up?My 6xc barrel is my favorite. Easy to load for, works well in the SRS, no recoil, very accurate.
I have 6 barrels right now, trying to reduce that to 3; 6xc, 6.5 SAUM, and 300 NM.
