As above .308 bolt face so simple from that perspective.
12.7x48 sounds interesting ?
Are you running it on an SRS? Does it mag feed ? The idea of a long fat round worried me re: feeding.
Tony
Yes, I'm running it in an SRS and have done up about 25 or 30 barrels in this cal. It will mag feed if you can get mags out of DT for the 308 and mod them. I had a deal set up at one time but personnel changed a few times and they didn't want to sell me what we had arranged. It requires a 308 magazine with the spacer not installed, a follower for the 338 Lapua along with the spring and floorplate. The 338 Lapua mag won't work due to the shoulder retention feature they built into it. The larger diameter, longer BMG and AMAX bullets hit the shoulder of the mag and won't drop into the mag. With the 308 mag the whole cartridge will fit and functions very well feedwise. If you're using shorter hunting type bullets for supersonic stuff.....like the 300 or 450 gr Barnes they will fit and function in the standard 338 lapua mags. They're shorter than the shoulder with those bullets.
Hope all that makes sense.

Holly crap guys this is a smoking deal on a hell of a barrel. I have a 6.5 CM from ES and it is my most accurate and consistent barrel I have for the SRS. I would not hesitate on jumping on this deal.We are having a sale on our 6mm and 6.5mm DT SRS barrels. Made using Proof Research SS blanks. $800 until 1 June 2018, or we run out of stock.

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.
You're going to love it! Lots of rifles come and go with me, Desert Tech always stays!Bought a 6.5cm SRS A1 last week. Should ship end of next week, excited to see what these things are all about.
Finally got my barrel setup from sac. Being a lefty this is actually the first time I've shot a lefty rifle. Been shooting right handed guns this whole time. Here is the first group. Was a little excited and first time behind this rifle. Realized I didn't follow through and let off the trigger too early as well. Please don't judge me too hard lol. Hopefully my groups get tighter on the next outing.

Try shooting off a rear bag instead of the monood if your shooting for precision. See what helps you.Thanks for the heads up guys, going to order some 168 fgmm now. Target sports has some for sale.
Hey everyone,
I have only read up through feb in the thread so please forgive me if this was recently covered. I’d like to get a stock pack and I remember seeing one a long time ago but can’t find anything now. Does any one know of any options that are out there?
Because of the position of the bolt and the ambi mag release it would be pretty hard to do. The SAP 2 round holder or a hoptic USA quiver will get you a couple extra rounds.
That all makes sense. In the end I’m trying to raise my comb. I thought that pack is seen, probably prescout days. I’ve currently got the adjustable piece as high as it will go and the hoptic stock pad. Any other thoughts to raise that? A custom adjustable piece might be ideal but everyone that I’ve contacted isn’t worth the money. (Can’t blame them)
Can’t resist sharing a thought:It makes the grip a bit thicker of course, but I think it's good and adds ton of traction to what was, IMO, a pretty slippery grip.
I've since painted my SRS and couldn't find the same model in a color I liked, so I went with these, which also work well:

The OD green one was the best match. I guess I don't have a close-up of the new one, but here's what it looks like on the gun:

Talked to Talon Grips and they said if they had more requests for the DT grip panels, they would make them. We all should contact them!Can’t resist sharing a thought:
Years ago I was looking at some junk in the garage and cane across a bicycle tire inner tube. I’m known to suffer from sweaty palms from time to time, so always used Hogue slip on rubberized grip sleeves on my pistols.
LSS: You can buy 1 inner tube for like $4, cut it to length and slide onto your pistol grips for great grip improvement without adding bulk. 1 tube yields 10+ sleeves. Tight fit, slim profile, super cheap.
The quoted post here compelled me to share. It works great for my purposes and I hope someone out there might benefit from the idea.
. , Sounds good , I’m in.Talked to Talon Grips and they said if they had more requests for the DT grip panels, they would make them. We all should contact them!
Dang! And you still need more height?? Running 3” high rings or what??
I got a custom cheek pad made by Wiebad that’s a little thicker than the hoptic one. I actually had to put my cheek piece all the way down to get good sight picture. I’m running a 34mm spuhr 1.5” high
How much more do you need to go. You could always file the slots a bit to make them more oblong to give you a bit more adjustment

I saw that while I was trying to catch up and send them an email. I’ll shoot them an email and see if they’ll make me one too.
How does it attach?
I’m running a super precision mount but I put that on top of an adjustable base. Ya I have quite a bit of height.
I sent them a email. Mentioned srs and mdr. Said I thought covert was the same as the srs but not sure about the hti. Maybe someone else can chime in. Covert ,srs, and hti same size grip? Oh and sweet rig WeiserBucks ??Please shoot them an email.
Here it is on the proper side lol
Nice rig. Them coverts are compact.Here it is on the proper side lol
Thanks, all I need now is an ultra short or the new kahles so I have room for a clip on. Not much real estate up top on the covertsNice rig. Them coverts are compact.
