I'd really like a group buy on all of that....working on trading some stuff atm for a bolt and barrel now.
Just picked up my SRSA1 today. I’ve been thinking about picking up a ES tactical barrel in 300prc. What’s the verdict these barrels?
I have two barrels from ES Tactical. The first is a 284 Winchester (Proof barrel) and the other is a 308 Winchester (K&P barrel). Both are tack drivers and turn around time was very reasonable; about 3 to 4 weeks.
Can’t speak to ES Tactical, but I definitely recommend 300 prc if you haven’t shot it. I only shoot factory ammo and have had great results with Hornady ELDM at a very reasonable price.
If anyone else is having lazy ejection from their gen 2 standard bolt I bought these on Amazon to try a while back. Still not quite as strong as I'd like but it does have a little more pep. They may fit other bolts as well. I'll see how it lasts.
Eta: can't get the link to work. Uxcell .5mmx3mmx20mm 304 stainless steel compression springs. $5 for 10

Mine breaks cleanly and consistently at 1.5 lbs. I really like it. I don’t like it as much as the Trigger Tech Diamond, but it’s very, very good.
Can anyone confirm the trigger pull weight screw is M4-0.7 and 8mm long? Also, it's a flat tip, right? When I was looking for a replacement, I saw some that had a pointed tip. Mine backed out and I didn't notice until I was at a match

Does anyone know a reliable source of proof reasearch steel barrel replacements for the SRS? All I've found so far is one place that does carbon fiber barrels.
I think ES Tactical uses Proof stainless blanks. I don't believe he has inventory of finished barrels though. You have to order one.
Short Action Customs or Special Purpose Rifles should be able to hook you up if you ask
I hate to bump my own question, but...

I bought M4-0.7 set screws, but it's almost like it's not thick enough. If I push down while I'm trying to thread it in, it feels like it's slipping past the threads, so it might be M5 or not metric?
Edit: Disregard. I found it's an M5

I’m sure

300 PRC is a proof barrel chambered by SAC and it’s awesome.
Couldn’t recommend it more. Mark told me this was their first Proof research DT barrel! Consider me a trendsetter!
2 things:
1) Mark (SAC) said a lot of guys are having great luck w/ Varget and 73gr ELD-M in his 223 conversion. Anyone have some load data for that setup they care to share?
2) if anyone wants a 6.5 Creed covert barrel , I have one I need to sell in the PX to pay for said 223 conversion

I'm thinking about using some of my bonus money to pick up a Covert in 6.5 creedmoor and join the Desert Tech club. Does anyone around Northern Virginia or the surrounding area have one I can test drive? I'm happy to buy beer afterwards.
No, your rifle will function without one, but your bolt throw will be a little longer for your short action cartridges.
Mine actually works better without it. Brass is less likely to bounce off my hand and back into the port.
