Re: Idea! Official DTA SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Thread
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: conndcj</div><div class="ubbcode-body">For whatever reason, I have tried to sell this rifle three different times as I really wanted to have a full custom rifle just for me. I had researched for months here and elsewhere and had even reached out to my choice, Mark at SAC, to build my stick.
Since I recieved this rifle in a trade, I never gave it a fair shake until recently. Man am I glad I did.
I am sure my SAC rifle would have been awesome but this rifle just fits me perfectly. I posted above in this thread that the only problem I had was my purchase of a Spuhr 4802 34mm/44moa that caused my S&B's objective bell to ever so slightly kiss the rail.
Yes, I took the hardest way out only because I could have it done instantly and perfectly. Only the rail was modded and since it is replaceable, no big deal.
I got this rifle back from DTA months ago after I sent it there for a tune up when I first got it. Everything was inspected, small parts were changed and the monopod was added. (This is a Gen I rifle)
I also bought all of the tools necessary to change barrels as the trade also included a complete, unused .338LM conversion kit. Since I have an EDM .408 that Mr. Richie was nice enough to make a .338 barrel and bolt for, I hope I can trade the .338 for a .300 someday and then maybe get into some other interesting calibers.
I bought one each of Zach's custom bolt knobs to try out. Both are better than stock but the round one is the heat. Highly recommended.
I'm in the queue for the custom nylon cheekpiece from Brian and I'm GTG for now.
BTW, ignore the angle indicator there. You can't see it. I lost the box and left it there for safekeeping until my Spuhr accessory rail comes in.

Couldn't agree more on all points, I was in the same boat and Traded for mine added a SAC 6.5CM barrels (which is a laser) and both of Zaks bolt knobs too. I also just did the Covert setup and ran it out to 1K tonight with great results
