Been doing some testing on his HTI sleds. Both sleds work well for the 375ct, the flat top works better for the larger rounds 416B and 50cal.Kirt McKenna over on Facebook under desert tech rifle shooters has a pretty cool mag sled that he's come up with. He has a couple different sizes. Standard and HTI. The HTI fits awesome in my rifle, it fits 375ct all the way up to 50bmg same sled. I just thought I'd help the guy get his product in the hands of shooters. Awesome guy to deal with.

Yes it is.. You'll need a good vise to get it off. I ended up bending my old brake removing itI have a 338 lapua kit on my srsa2 that I picked up, but it has a 2 port Desert Tech muzzle brake. I am unable to get it off by using my hands, but wanted to grab a new muzzle brake. I'm assuming the thread is 3/4-24?
I ordered a 6.5 Saum from him was about 3 to 4 monthsI've been think of picking up a new barrel from ES Tactical. What's been there turn around time looking like these days.
That's actually the first generation bolt. Gen 1 bolts have the "243/308" written on the bolt knob shank. Second gen bolts have the pin visible behind the lugs.Was wondering if anyone knew what generation this is? I bought it from a guy on another forum and he said it was an A1 that would work on my A2. Hope it will work. It says on the bolt .243 and .308. Was hoping to put a .308 win barrel on it.

Not sure all gen I bolt are compatible. I know the barrel index differently but it does seems like the bolt might be compatible.Hoping it works on the srsa2
Sounds good. Thanks for the clarification, luckily not planning on going 223 for the SRSA2. Also planning on getting a barrel spun by IBI for the desert tech so will see how that goes.Not sure all gen I bolt are compatible.

I know the Gen 2 are.
I have a gen II bolt and a Gen II 308 kit, a 223 conv kit and a A2 6.5 conversion kit.
The only issue would be if you were to use an older Gen II bolt with the 223 conv kit, the bolt head channel isn't flush wouldn't allow you to put the 223 bolt head in, you'd have to grind off the excess. On the newer A1 and A2 bolt, everything is flush inside the bolt channel. Long story short, don't worry about it unless you'd plan to use it for a 223 conv.
In my case, I use the newer A2 bolt body with the 223 bolt head and barrel. And my older Gen II bolt, with my old gen 2 308 barrel and my newer A2 6.5 CM barrel. Works like a charm. Except then DTA fucked up my extension but that's been resolved (and not by DTA).
Make sense ?
If you are Canadian and can afford it, you should highly look into a Krieger heavy varmint from insite arms.Sounds good. Thanks for the clarification, luckily not planning on going 223 for the SRSA2. Also planning on getting a barrel spun by IBI for the desert tech so will see how that goes.
Are they better than IBI?If you are Canadian and can afford it, you should highly look into a Krieger heavy varmint from insite arms.
Yes in my opinion. Although some have had good IBI barrels, I wouldn’t put them on the same level as Bartlein, Proof or Krieger.Are they better than IBI?
Ive got to admit I've been eyeing a Proof carbon barrel....Yes in my opinion. Although some have had good IBI barrels, I wouldn’t put them on the same level as Bartlein, Proof or Krieger.
But those might run you a few extra $

As much as I think the magazines are the weakest link in the SRS system, this morning I really appreciated being able to magazine feed such a long 3.910” COAL.
Quick question - how did you manage to get the arca rail all the way to the trigger guard? Been looking at the RRS but it seems they've already discontinued the BSRSLove this rifle. Getting ready to order a SAC 223 conversion. This will be the one to rule them all for me. The compactness and versatility of this platform is undeniable. Happy Friday everyone!

I have a proof barrel in 300 PRC from SAC. I bought a couple thousand rounds when it first came out and Hornady was offering extremely competitive pricing. I’ve found the factory ammo to be hit or miss. Have you considered 300 Norma. The factory Hornady and Federal loads have been excellent in my Bartlein barrels.Thinking about getting a long action barrel from ES Tactical. Was leaning toward 300 PRC. Is there a better option? If I go .300 PRC what barrel twist should I get. Was thinking 26 in barrel in his tapered profile with flutes.
After shooting the 338 lapua magnum, I'm thinking of switching to 300 Norma magnum on my SRSA2. Wanted to go custom route for the barrel. What is the thickest barrel you can put on an SRS?
It will weigh a lot with a straight barrel that thick. I ordered one for fun , chambered in a 6.5 SAUM it was a solid steel rod basicallyAfter shooting the 338 lapua magnum, I'm thinking of switching to 300 Norma magnum on my SRSA2.

shooting steal is primary useWhat is the purpose of this caliber? Are you just wanting to ring steel?
In all honesty the best part of these rifles is the Lapua bolt face, so in my opinion going with 300prc is kinda a waste. 300nm, 338nm or lm, 33xc-42xc. Are all great options. 6.5 prc is interesting, but again what is your intended use....
I have an SRS in 300 PRC, I run a .338 Norma so I figured I try something different and went 300 PRC. I like it, but a 300 Norma would be sweet.Shoot

After shooting 200 rounds of 338 lapua in a weekend with the factory barrel with a 5 port InSite heathen I could use the additional weight lol. Not sure if going to go full thickness but go at least heavy.It will weigh a lot with a straight barrel that thick. I ordered one for fun , chambered in a 6.5 SAUM it was a solid steel rod basically
I shoot a 22" .338 Norma AI version. Not much recoil. The barrel being that thick is a heavy rifle to lug around. I take mine everywhere so weight matters sometimes... I guess you'll have a nice iron rod if you ever needed oneAfter shooting 200 rounds of 338 lapua in a weekend with the factory barrel with a 5 port InSite heathen I could use the additional weight lol.

A dominus sr will do everything you want.Which brake for the 16" 308? The muzzle is pretty close to your face with the short barrel so the brakes that redirect blast backwards are a no-go. Looking to minimize muzzle rise more than pure recoil reduction, and don't want the concussive blast associated with the high recoil reduction brakes.
