My single experience:Ok, question for A2 owners; how is the trigger? specifically the creep. I used to have an A1 and sold it a couple of years back and am thinking of buying an A2 but I hear the trigger is no longer adjustable for creep. Not a fan of creep and was able to adjust all the creep out of the trigger on my A1. How does the A2 compare?

The trigger on the A1 is much more adjustable. You can move the trigger back and forth in the trigger guard, adjust creep, and adjust trigger weight. The A2 trigger is more robust. The marketing guys at DT call it a "field trigger". It feels great for a bullpup and you can still adjust the trigger weight. The creep and trigger position adjustments are no longer there on the A2. The A1 adjustments were also problematic where if the the end user didn't adjust them correctly it would cause problems. If blue lock tight wasn't used on the creep adjustment screw it could fall out which would then lock up the safety. Same for the trigger weight adjustment crew. I took a few calls from customers when I worked at Desert Tech where their trigger fell off after they adjusted it position in the trigger guard while they were out in the field. Most pf the time it was because the owner didn't torque it down enough or they didn't use blue lock tight. So after seeing some of these problems customers had with the A1 trigger the engineers decided to make some changes to the A2 trigger.Ok, question for A2 owners; how is the trigger? specifically the creep.

I have to say — I have a couple guns with TT diamonds. Although those are my fav triggers, i shoot the DT a lot more. It’s a great system.Thanks all for the info on the trigger, thb the A2 trigger sounds like a bit of a downgrade from the A1 so will I probably not pick up an A2. Too used to that TT diamond now.....
Clearly the answer is that we need to petition TT to come out with a DT trigger. Supply and demand, right?I have to say — I have a couple guns with TT diamonds. Although those are my fav triggers, i shoot the DT a lot more. It’s a great system.
My tuned DTA trigger is just as good as my Trigger Tech special - zero creep, zero overtravel, clean break at 1.2 lbs.
I had multiple barrel bags and bolt pouches made for the SRS bolt and barrels.If you have to get another one, this one gets good reviews

I’m guessing it’s an A1 rather than an A2? If it’s an A2, then I would love to hear the secret. My A2 trigger is superior for a bull pup but is still in need of improvement, especially the overtravel.My tuned DTA trigger is just as good as my Trigger Tech special - zero creep, zero overtravel, clean break at 1.2 lbs.
It’s actually an older covert Gen 2. I’m not even sure it’s the same as a A1 because I had to use a M3 set screw to remove all the pretravel and I think the A1 uses M4 or M5.I’m guessing it’s an A1 rather than an A2?

Yeah it is a good platform, wish I had kept my A1I have to say — I have a couple guns with TT diamonds. Although those are my fav triggers, i shoot the DT a lot more. It’s a great system.
Badass. Whenever LE guys see my SRS at the range they always remark that it would be perfect. And I usually rock a 22” 6.5 creed out of the SRS A2. Not as compact as your rig.Just completed a 3 day LE Sniper class with my srs covert in 308. Aside from the funny looks and “what the hell is that thing”, it rocked and rolled. It def drew alot of attention. No pics as the instructor didnt allow any. But overall the ES tactical 16” xcaliber barrel was rock solid from the jump. Barrel had 30 rounds before the class and held sub in groups under speed drills with ease. Couldnt be more pleased with how much faster i was able to run the gun and maneuver it against full sized rigs.
Agree! Plenty of anger behind that bullet from a 16”Also with most LE precision engagements inside of 100m, a short 16" barrel is more than sufficient.
Badfinger makes a fair point. Here is my almost complete A2 Covert. Just saving up for the NX8.
length barrel is that?Badfinger makes a fair point. Here is my almost complete A2 Covert. Just saving up for the NX8. View attachment 7354864
20 to the end of the Cherry Bomb break. ES Tactical did the work.What
length barrel is that?
Rounds 76-80 through the barrel. 5 shots at 100 yards. It could be much better but I was also using the only ammo the range had, American gunner 140 grain. 25 FPS sd, so it’s not match ammo by any means. I’m just glad to burn powder today.20 to the end of the Cherry Bomb break. ES Tactical did the work.
Is that the button rifled or cut rifles from ES? I’d like to see some groups from the button rifled ES barrels while I‘m waiting for mine to come in.Rounds 76-80 through the barrel. 5 shots at 100 yards.

It’s a button rifled barrel. 6.5 CM, 1-7 twist, medium Palma, spiral fluted. I’m confident I can get much better groups if I had some Hornady ELMs or similar.Is that the button rifled or cut rifles from ES?

Very nice, I have a ton of the american gunner I plan on shooting through. I bought a 22” 1-8 6.5 CM.It’s a button rifled barrel. 6.5 CM, 1-7 twist, medium Palma, spiral fluted. I’m confident I can get much better groups if I had some Hornady ELMs or similar.
I’ve got 2558 out of my 20 inch barrel, so that lines up. Your SDs across 19 shots are better than mine across 5. That being said, my barrel has 80 rounds on it.I have a 22” Proof barrel in 6.5 creed (1:7.5 twist) from ES Tactical, and I love it. Here some velocity data using American Gunner. I bought thousands of rounds of it a while back and although I like the 147 ELDMs better of course, AmGunner works quite well.
I know Desert Tech had one because they sent me a full length handguard when I ordered a covert. They sent me a new covert length A2 handguard, and I sent the full length one back. I’m not sure what happened to it from there though. Best of luck with your search.I need help.
I have been scouring the entire country for a full length A2 handguard over the past 90 days. Eric at ES tactical had one left and mailed it to me in a .2” cardboard tube (the thickbois you can run over with a car) and well, FedEx must have ran it over with the plane because that bitch looked like a chewed straw when it showed up. Crushed and mangled the only A2 full length I could find, like killing an endangered species. They should be ashamed.
Does anyone have or know anybody with a full length A2 handguard they’d part with? Preferably black but not caring much at this point. Not enough posts for the EE.
They fibbed then I called begging for on beginning of April.Mid-March, I think
My ES Tactical Proof barrel has reached 2000 rounds and is still shooting tight groups and holding the same velocity (2830) with single digit SDs.
They might have just thrown it on a rifle in production and shipped it back out.They fibbed then I called begging for on beginning of April.
