Thursday Eric let me know my barrel would finish that night. Supposed to ship Monday. I hope it gets in Friday and the weekend gives me some shooting weather.
Got the funds to pull the trigger on an A2 covert chassis! Anyone heard of black Friday sales coming up, or anyone who has good Hide prices?
It would fricken great if Short Action Customs would do a Black Friday sale on 233 conversions!!!!!!!!!!!
Unfortunately it looks like the sales only apply to full rifles. I've got $2700 in cash for a chassis. If someone wants to give me the other $1300 and change, I'd write you a hell of a thank you note. Hahaha.
Eric has some button rifled barrels that get you a conversion for about $1000. Heck of a deal and if I could afford it, I would buy a 300 WM hunting set up.
No kidding!!! I have been wanting to get one for a long arse time!
I would probably get a loan from my 401k to get a 223 conversion!
Very nice! What barrel contour is that? And are you running an Area 419 Hellfire muzzle brake?
I have owned a SRS A1 for many years with a heavy Razor scope. It gets carried to the range. I anted to hunt with it but to impractical and plenty of other guns. But with the new A2 I thought about selling, swapping, having 2 and... I’m going with 2. Just ordered an A2 Covert chassis from Fred at Bison Tactical and last month I ordered a 6.5 Creed and 300 PRC Proof barrels from ES Tactical. I’ll have a range gun and hunting gun and can use my conversions as I like. Also purchased a lighter scope for the A2!
I'm also interested in the details of this 26" 300prc. That is likely going to be my next SRS barrel.
ive been trying to figure out how to make my SRS “huntable” in terms of weight. I, too, have a razor Hd 2 scope and an AADmount. Barrels are 6.5CM, .308, and 28 Nosler. I’ve considered selling my chassis A1 and going to A2 and keeping conversion kits. would also trade out the scope and mount for lighter substitutes. I would target the 11-12 lb range total for rifle. The only downside is that both my chassis and my scope have taken severe hits in value the last 2 years, and I would need to pony up $1000-$1500 to make this whole swap work.
Weight was the reason I went with the A2 over the A1. It’s a lot easier to add weight than it is to take weight off.
Pretty much the same for me. I liked the lighter weight. I set mine up with a 20” 300WM barrel with somewhat thin profile (from DMR) and a Vortex AMG and it was plenty packable for hunting.
That group is with 212 eldx, running around 2950-3050. 225 grain shoot .2” lower. The rifle is unreal with the sac barrel. It does have hellfire break. Shot it suppressed and it kicks like a damn mule!
Those numbers make me happy :] Thanks! I am sending 180s at 2980ish with my 7SAUM out of my SRS. The PRC is a great round!
No kidding. I want to sell my A1 but the A2 release really hurt the A1 owners resale value! My A1 fully loaded with Gen 2 Razor, NO suppressor, (419 brake), slim 7saum barrel and covert handguard is still around 18#. I hiked with it through Colorado for nearly 40 miles over 7 days. Not an easy task but it can be done with a good pack. I am looking for lighter alternatives. I suppose a Carbon Fiber barrel and lighter scope could shave 5# or so off.
You are saving a pound going to the A2 chassis. Pull the monopod from your A1 for more weight removal.
I just saw a 10% coupon from ES Tactical on their site, but I could not figure out how to use it. It says barrels and conversion kits but couldn’t use it in the checkout. Would make a conversion kit as low as about $988 and a barrel/extension $608 for button rifled barrels. Hell of a deal.

Thank you sir!
I think Eric has to do I.T. work at night and I'm sure there is plenty to code to get the details right. It works for some links and some products but not all. I'm sure an email to him will take care of what you want. It works for the cut rifle barrels but does NOT work for the button rifle barrels. He said on his Facebook post the it is NOT valid for PROOF barrels.

We began working with Proof in 2016 to come up with a blank for Desert Tech SRS and Covert Rifles. In mid 2017 Proof Research began producing the barrel blanks to our specs and we have been spinning them into drop-in barrels for the SRS chassis system. The first barrel blanks we received from Proo

Me too!!!! Now I wonder how many other people jumped on this awesome deal and how long it will take to receive them? Please tell me it will be before Christmas!
So how does the SAC 223 conversion work. Will they call and ask for specs on the barrel right before they make it or should I be expecting an email?
i haven’t looked recently, but at one time they had a form on their site that you download and fill out.
It would be sweet if some Desert Tech Dealer in Europe started offering these 223 conversion kits.
We miss out on a lot of the good stuff due to ITAR... Or spend insane amounts to get it exported and imported
Question for you guys who recently bought conversion kits from ES Tactical. Did your bolt and mag ship separately from the barrel? I received my bolt, bolt stop, and mag in a small box on Saturday but the barrel was nowhere to be found. I wanted to check if that was normal before bothering Eric or getting ready to fight USPS Monday.
Same as someone else said. I received my barrel, and then a few days later the bolt.
