Factory AMAX ammo I presume?With me behind it holding on for dear life, it only makes small marks in my bench..

I've thought about trying to mod a mag to work. My 7 saum is very long. I'd have to knock out the plate in the back and make a spacer kit like for dashesYes sir
Sweet setup. I need to just bite the bullet and get a 223 conversion…Got to do some whistle pig hunting over the past holiday weekend. .223 60gr V-max. 132 yards. Scorching hot out...

Thanks! It will be my most used barrel for sure. I ordered my barrel at a bad time last June and took 8 months for delivery. But all is well now!Sweet setup. I need to just bite the bullet and get a 223 conversion…
Who’d you order yours from? SAC?Thanks! It will be my most used barrel for sure. I ordered my barrel at a bad time last June and took 8 months for delivery. But all is well now!
Yes Sir, SAC.Who’d you order yours from? SAC?
What training system are you using?Got some dry fire in on the SRS last night. Turns out the “0”s on the spines of the wife’s fashion magazines at about 15 m are close to a 1/10 mil point of aim. It’s remarkably clear if you would have missed after the trigger press.View attachment 7910492View attachment 7910490

Question for the SAC .223 Conversion guys:
Mine is due shortly
I know there isn’t a locking detent index machined into the barrel on these.
Do you mark or indicate a set position when you change between barrels? Any POI changes barrel to barrel between conversions?
Like, if you marked an arbitrary 6 o’clock and next time rotated it to 9 o’clock, ya seeing a POI shift?
I know every barrel has a POI shift; have my 6.5 and .338LM barrels DOPED well, but those are machined with an index, so it’s reproducible.
I’m pondering, probably fruitlessly, if the lack of the *exact same rotation of the barrel* will make *that* much of a difference.
Sweet setup.. And nice shooting!
What's the box on the right of the scope?
It's a cosine indicator. Says slope/can't on the deviceNah, the other side. Looks like that new mini-doppler chronograph.
Yep... VERY accurate..It's a cosine indicator. Says slope/can't on the device
I think it would be cool if someone would make an adaptor kit so you could use SRS conversion kits in the HTI. Mag and barrel adaptor would be easy. The bolt would be harder, but you could make bolt heads insteadThis a purely theoretical question but here goes. If you were to make something like the SAC 223 conversion kit for the HTI and chambered it in something like .300NM with a 24 inch barrel, could you get the weight down to around 15 pounds? Maybe shorten the handguard as well?
Which eberlestock pack does yours fit in? I use the gunrunner now for my regular bolt guns but I was looking at the euro with the bigger scabbard to fit my srsI like it, it fits discreetly in my Eberlestock pack, I'm working on a YT review for DT as we speak, going over the 250, 260 and 338NM conversion kits I have for my SRS-M2... So I'll put out a lot of info in the video!
I personally use the G4, but I also use the G2 Gunslinger and the X31 LowdragII all of which have the "tactical" scabbard which accommodate the SRS easily.Which eberlestock pack does yours fit in?

Interesting. My thought process was a semi for medium cartridges (ARC or Creedmoor), a short action magnum bolt gun (personal preference), and a Lapua magnum capable HTI. Mind you, it was strictly a theoretical idea. I'm not in the market right now.The original SRS design was intended to handle up to the Cheytac family of cartridges, but it would have required the system to be scaled up a bit too much to make the smaller cartridge support kind of pointless.

I am hoping to find some guidance on what 7mm cartridge would work and perform best in a short 16-18” barrel configuration. I’ve been looking into the 7 REM mag and 7 SAUM mainly, but open to other options. I do not reload so currently leaning towards 7RM. But any real world experience you all have in the short barrel configuration 7mm’s would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much for the info. Greatly appreciated.There are a couple of recent posts on pg14 of the 7 SAUM reloading thread with data on 18” barrels/speeds.
If you don’t reload though it’s moot to consider the SAUM. Maybe see what the 7 PRC looks like when it launches.
How many people here hunt with their DTA's? What is the weight of your DTA hunting rigs, and what barrel specs (length, contour)?
I did Colorado elk last year. Bringing it to Newfie for moose and SA for kudu this fall and next spring respectively.How many people here hunt with their DTA's? What is the weight of your DTA hunting rigs, and what barrel specs (length, contour)?

I like mine. Even with the weight, the length is compact and it Carries well.Appreciate the replies!
Asking as I'm just getting into hunting. Just purchased an 18" 6.5 Creedmoor 3B contour barrel for my Mausingfield PRS rig, which will be put into a KRG Bravo for hunting. Hunting weight will be about ~13 lbs, so not light. Just don't have the funds to build a dedicated hunting rifle right now to the quality I would want it to be, so this is definitely a compromise.
I also have a .300NM ELR rig that I don't really use, as I don't have a spot to really stretch it out. As much as I love my .300NM and still want to shoot it occasionally, I have a hard time justifying a dedicated rifle for it when I hardly shoot it.
This has me wondering if I could consolidate my hunting and ELR rifles. Especially since I don't have the budget to fully build up a dedicated hunting rifle. Perhaps I could trade my custom .300NM rifle for a DTA SRS, and get a hunting and ELR barrel for it.
That's a slick looking rig!Slammed some whitetail last year with my DT A2 Covert.
Running a SAC 16.5” 450 Bushmaster in their “DT Countour” spiral fluted. Not exactly running it as light weight as I can with a TT315P on top and a suppressor. Barrel alone is 3lb 4oz.. fully rigged with VERS 458 can is 12lbs
I’ll tell you what though, that 450bushmaster 240gr bullet smacking those whitetail at 250yds plus sounds like a baseball bat hitting a punching bag… all you hear is THUD/SMACK/THUMP.. no question whether you hit it or not.
