Official (DTA) SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Thread

My first 6.5 Creedmoor barrel for my DTA was a factory barrel. It was incredibly accurate and lasted me just over 2500 rounds, if I remember correctly. If I were looking at getting a complete kit, I wouldn't hesitate to pick one up.
 
Love mine. Cutting my barrel as we speak to 19 6.5 creedmoor
what scope are you running on the covert?
im considering the vortex amg, i was running the gen 2 razor on my srs but the scope alone is around 3lbs.
my concern is recoil on the covert, im not worried about the recoil on a 6.5, however if i step up to the 308 and above i'm wondering if i should put that top heavy gen 2 on it to tame recoil bounce a little.

You might want to consider a good brake instead. It will do far more for recoil than the weight difference between scopes.

It's 308, not a 338. You will be fine.

My google skills are not producing and good results or its just me. I live in California and am in the 10day waiting period to pick up the SRS A1. I know I know....it sucks. Only 4 more years and Ill retire to a more friendly state. All of that aside, I have been looking at scope mounts for the SRS. I have a NF 5-25x56 ATACR to put on top of it, but wanted to know what to go with. I usually go with the NF stuff because they give us a pretty good deal. I currently run a 1.5" unimount (A357) on my AIAX with the 7-35x56 ATACR. I was thinking a good option with the SRS or should I try to go lower? Overall what height are guys using for a 56mm objective?
Thanks in advance and helping me in my 10 day hell.
 
Anyone else notice that their website says "left handed SRS-A2 covert also available". I'm right handed, so I really don't care if they ever produce a left handed version, but I'm pretty sure I heard them say there was no definitive future for a left handed A2. I'm sure its just an oversight, so don't get too excited leftists.

I caught that. With the A2 being cheaper than the A1s are selling for there’s not much reason to buy a A1 correct?
 
Depends what they are going to charge for the now separate monopod, and how important the weight savings are to you.

The tripod thing is lost on me, what am I missing? Wouldn't it have been easier to just have a short section of Arca in the hand guard? Maybe not easier, but preferred by most? There must be something I'm missing.
 
If I didn't already have the A1 I think it would be a tough call... The biggest potential pitfall I see against the A2 is the non-adjustable trigger. Taking away adjustment is almost never a good thing.

I would be surprised if the price on the mono-pod changes from it's current price of $365. They are mighty proud of it.

Just as I wouldn't be surprised if the left handed A2 was an over sight. Judging by little more than how rushed they must have been to add the new info to the website that they couldn't even use a simple spell checker.
 
I'm thinking about getting an A1 too in order to replace a Bighorn TL-2 but I'm struggling to pull the trigger.

I have an AT as well that'd I'd sell if I love the SRS A1 but I've only ever been able to handle the SRS but never shoot one.

I'd wind up selling the TL-2 immediately but I could wait on the AT for awhile.
 
I just tell mine that if they are always locked up in the safe where it is dark, quiet all they will do is multiply. They procreate if you don’t spend too much time with them. So far she has bought on or simply appeases me in my passion

If you ever make it to the omaha area, you are welcome to come shoot mine.
 
The eurooptic deal surely won't last forever, but I have a feeling good deals on A1's won't be too hard to come by for a while.

There are several Desert Tech dealers that will need to move inventory as well in the coming weeks/months. Plus, I'm sure there will be at least a few current A1 owners that will be looking to move to the A2 and sell their old chassis. I certainly wouldn't rush to jump if you're not ready.

I am running the DT mount, 30 MOA and the 40 MOA. Go that route
