As a follow up to this, SAC is saying 8-10 weeks due to delays in getting parts from DT. So I’d expect ES to be delayed as well.Just saw the post above that said the buyer ordered one in early august and still hasn’t heard.

Of course, but I’m thinking about things like if the difference between a straight taper at 1 inch diameter Vs 1.25 inch diameter makes any meaningful difference in heating or harmonics. Did someone try a shank diameter barrel? This system has a good deal of nuance to it, and I’ve found that I can avoid making bad decisions by trying to explore the nuance before making purchases.^^ pretty self explanatory. Get a straight barrel at your desired length and stick your can on the end. Been done lots of times.
I would call SAC and get a 300 lapua imp done upSo I’m looking at getting my next DT barrel, and I’m thinking of a 300 magnum in a contour resembling a truck axel and finished in the 28-30ish range. The only application would be ELR and maybe some LR coyote and pig hunting if we are shooting from the truck. I am thinking about sticking with a Cherry Bomb break, so I have the option to put my Thunder Chicken on it. Have any of you tried a set up like this? Any tips on what works vs what I should avoid?
ES-Tactical has a couple of 6.5 creedmoor barrels, a 6creed and a 300 PRC in stock and ready to ship for great prices if anyone is looking. I just grabbed a covert barrel from them!
I was in between the 300 Norma and the 300 WinMag. Have you had good luck with the 300 Lapua Improved?I would call SAC and get a 300 lapua imp done up
I haven't personally but it is a proven cartridge and is likely the biggest 30 cal you could feed from the mag in a srs. I have a 300NM that I am about to start playing with, but its a 18" barrel.I was in between the 300 Norma and the 300 WinMag. Have you had good luck with the 300 Lapua Improved?
Thank you! Do you know what kind of velocity this load is yielding in the 26" barrel?92.7gr N570 loaded at 3.735" has been my go to .338LM load with 300 OTMs in the factory 18" and 26" barrels.
This!Forget the rings and get the mount. Not only is it taller, it is also canted.
A day will come soon when people in this thread will ask "hey, what's that thing?"
Finally got a chance to get behind the srs. Did some barrel break in with my 223 conversion. Really liking this platform so far.
That looks great!! 18” barrel?Finally got a chance to get behind the srs. Did some barrel break in with my 223 conversion. Really liking this platform so far.
Just ordered mine, and can’t wait! 22” for me (I have a full length SRS A1 and A2)Finally got a chance to get behind the srs. Did some barrel break in with my 223 conversion. Really liking this platform so far.
Very hard to say. I like the A1 trigger better. But I have a 22.5” 6.5 creed with proof research barrel that I love in my A2 because it’s so lightweight. I also prefer the mlok rail on the A2. I guess I lean toward the A2, unless you plan to spend all your time on the range, in which case the weight of the A1 is an advantage.I’ve got an early Gen 1 and have been seriously considering getting an A1 or A2. Which do you prefer and why?
Many thanks. Credit goes to Mark Gordon’s team at SAC, which did the paint job.Beautiful rig @Georgedubya
I’m having them build me an A2 covert with a black shadow MultiCam pattern. Excited to get it in 5-6 months lolMany thanks. Credit goes to Mark Gordon’s team at SAC, which did the paint job.
That pattern is awesome. Might be quicker than you think. Please post a pic when you get it.I’m having them build me an A2 covert with a black shadow MultiCam pattern. Excited to get it in 5-6 months lol
I don’t know of any. I’m sure there’s some. Maybe special purpose rifle? SAC said about 2-3 months for the covert hand guard, 4 months of so for a Bartlein 450bm barrel, and 6 months or so for a proof carbon in 6.5cm. Sucks it’s gonna take so long. Had to settle for a 16.75” 6.5cm proof cf barrel since they’re not taking special orders at the moment (I wanted an 18”)That pattern is awesome. Might be quicker than you think. Please post a pic when you get it.
I’ve been thinking about a covert handguard. Are they available anywhere?
I am in the same boat. I am a little disappointed they have basically the same barrel I ordered in August for sale on their website.Has anyone received a barrel from ES tactical lately? I'm coming up on 5 months.
I am waiting on a rifle build as well. Sadly I have not heard from him in a while.I am in the same boat. I am a little disappointed they have basically the same barrel I ordered in August for sale on their website.
