Some clip-ons are more of a stretch with the Covert than others...

Gotta be one of only a few out there in that configuration. When the Covert came out it was a gen 2 chassis which would explain the Gen 2 Covert hand guard on the Gen 1 Chassis.Gen 1 actually. This was from the first run of rifles in late 2008. When the Covert handguard became available in 2011-ish I upgraded.
I forgot how ominous that .510 Whisper barrel is up close.
I’d agree. The coverts are much nicer shot suppressed, especially in magnum calibers.Running it with a suppressor is almost a necessity due to muzzle proximity. That or a blast shield.
I certainly don’t want to be the person next to you at the range. I think you could safely call that the bench clearer.View attachment 8161517
“Especially magnums…”
I agree except how about 416..What makes an HTI in .375 CT better? The correct answer is an Elite Iron Suppressor, though the ZCO and Spuhr certainly don't hurt.

MehI agree except how about 416..
I'm a pretty big fan of the .375, but the .416 is a great caliber.I agree except how about 416..
I know where some .300 PRC barrels are in stock.Still rocking mine. I was going to sell it when I bought my MRAD. But didn’t. I think I’m going to get a 300prc barrel for it. Then I have 6.5 creed, 308, and 300prc.
I've been really impressed with 300 PRC.Still rocking mine. I was going to sell it when I bought my MRAD. But didn’t. I think I’m going to get a 300prc barrel for it. Then I have 6.5 creed, 308, and 300prc.
A sore spot for us the past few years has been getting barrels turned in a timely manner. We have changed things up the past few months and are trying to keep the most popular options on the shelf to hopefully avoid wait times to get barrels spun up.JFC clearly you've got carbon sequestration technology.
Are the .223 bbls compatible with the SAC bolt head? Just wondering since I already have a SAC bolt......223, 6 Creed, 6.5 Creed, 6.5 PRC, .308, .300 WM, 300 PRC, 300 Norma, and 338 Lapua.
The .223 barrel we have spun up was made with a SAC kit, so your bolt assembly should match up just fine.Are the .223 bbls compatible with the SAC bolt head? Just wondering since I already have a SAC bolt.....
I am getting a runaround on the ship date, every time I call he tells me he is about to ship it, its been close to 11 weeksWhat was the turn around time on that ?
I have two ways. I keep a Borka torque kit in my war bag and I keep a few index cards with all my different offsets written down. The second way of keeping zeroes managed is with a Kestrel. I keep each barrel listed as a separate rifle, and if I use a different bullet/load, I keep that listed as a separate rifle (my 25 Creedmoor, 6.5 Creedmoor, and 25 PRC barrels each have at least 3 different combinations, so each combo goes in under its own name) and then I can set the offset under zero height and whatever the Kestrel zero windage offset is called. I prefer to zero my scope to whichever load impacts lowest on the target, so then all my zero height offsets are positive, meaning I just had to add whatever extra clicks I needed in elevation, but that isn't as important as it used to be now that Kestrel allows negative height offsetsHi all, need some advice on DT-SRS have in 338 LPM, have just purchased 2 additional barrels - 300 PRC and 6.5 PRC, what is the best way to keep track of your Scope 0 on 3 different barrels ?
This. Only difference for me is I use my most common Caliber as my true "zero" and everything else is just a change off that. Trasol, Kestrel, etc all allow for it. Then, most commonly, I use a laminated paper range card attached to the sling. For Hunting vs. Competition, my margins are a bit wider and distances closer, so it's more time-sensitive than accuracy sensitive. I have 5 and 10 MPH wind calls on that card. Nice to have someone (anyone) spit out a range (within about 500yds), and have that marked on my card, guesstimate the wind, and *thud goes the moose.*. If you use Trasol, input your zero offset, it all automatically corrects. I just make a range card from 200-800 in 50yd increments. Close enough.I have two ways.

Edit for a typo
I use “the one that counts” (338LM) as the zero reference, cuz the consequences of a miss are greater.Hi all, need some advice on DT-SRS have in 338 LPM, have just purchased 2 additional barrels - 300 PRC and 6.5 PRC, what is the best way to keep track of your Scope 0 on 3 different barrels ?
It has some small but significant advantages over 375 w 400 class bullets, but large drawbacks that always make me avert my gaze. Among them:I agree except how about 416..
I’d be all over that but honestly my A1 covert and SRS keep me satisfied I doubt I sell mine to buy newI've been told by more than a few customers that they would like to see an M2 Covert. Who here has interest in an M2 Covert or the ability to have a Covert with a full length top rail with elevation built into it like the M2?
Au contraireI don’t personally see the draw to it as far as spending money in the aftermarket to achieve it. I wouldn’t. There is no room for inline NV or thermals with the covert length hand guard. That being said, should all the DT models have a continuous canted rail and be arca compatible from the factory. You betcha.
@bmicek proved me wrong a few posts back. With the right scope a man can have a short sweet setup. I’ll have one just like you guys soon enough. Makes that canted full length covert rail a bit more enticing for the days I would stretch it out with just a day scope.
Idk how y’all run your scopes so far backView attachment 8161249

They run all the spacers for one. I don’t do that myself and by your photo, you don’t either. Thats at least an inch or better right there. I have no idea on the other inch or so back.Idk how y’all run your scopes so far back
I have not run a Zeiss LRP, but the Tangent and ZCO optics that I’ve used have been outstanding. I wouldn’t hesitate to run either optic.The ZCO isn’t an instant winner? I keep hearing mixed feelings. Glad I stuck with my tangent theta. And the Zeiss LRP is superb on the HTI also.
I found the ZCO 8-40 ( had 2 of them) to be a very "average" optic.. It looses clarity drastically ( VERY soft) after 30x and is very dark at the higher powers. parallax is also very very finicky!!Jury is still out on my thoughts on the ZCO-840... Time will tell...
I have an opinion, I’m just going to spend more time getting to know it before i spout off about it… But your not wrong about the TT..The ZCO isn’t an instant winner? I keep hearing mixed feelings. Glad I stuck with my tangent theta. And the Zeiss LRP is superb on the HTI also.
It's a short rifle, that's one of the major advantages of the SRS.They run all the spacers for one. I don’t do that myself and by your photo, you don’t either. Thats at least an inch or better right there. I have no idea on the other inch or so back.
You are right about the parallax, when it’s good you better stop tuning… I wouldn’t disagree with you “average” assessment.. One of the guys shooting with us today had a 12 power Leupold and i found it superior too my 840 in clarity… Again time will tell, but my first impressions aren’t great…I found the ZCO 8-40 ( had 2 of them) to be a very "average" optic..

Have a look through the S&B 6-36... much much better optic!!!You are right about the parallax, when it’s good you better stop tuning… I wouldn’t disagree with you “average” assessment..

Have you used other ZCO ? My 420s and 527s have been great.You are right about the parallax, when it’s good you better stop tuning… I wouldn’t disagree with you “average” assessment..

The ZCO 5-27 is good...far better than the 8-40 !!Have you used other ZCO ? My 420s and 527s have been great.
Minox are also great scopes. Very under rated
I should clarify that I’ve run the Tangent 525P, ZCO 420, and ZCO 527. I have not run a ZCO 840 yet.I have not run a Zeiss LRP, but the Tangent and ZCO optics that I’ve used have been outstanding. I wouldn’t hesitate to run either optic.
I run zero spacers but I’m a small statured guy so that’s how I can make it work with a scope that far back and a clip onThey run all the spacers for one. I don’t do that myself and by your photo, you don’t either. Thats at least an inch or better right there. I have no idea on the other inch or so back.
There is such a thing as too much power.Have you used other ZCO ? My 420s and 527s have been great.
Minox are also great scopes. Very under rated
