It will manly be used in comps. Speed and reliability are paramount.
I know this rifle cost a lot of $ and everybody is proud of their kit but please give me a honest answer. <span style="color: #FF0000">Yep, I'm proud of my rifle, but I'm more proud of finishing high in a shoot. If I didn't feel it gives me a leg up, I'd be running a Remington or clone.</span>
I'm running a 24" Rem 5r in a Wiskey 3 folder, with 10 round drop free mags. The gun shoots 3/4" and is VERY reliable/never jams.<span style="color: #FF0000">DTA guarantees .5 MOA. If you reload, and shoot a more competitive caliber like any of the 6.5's .25 MOA is easy to get so long as you yourself can con hold groups that well.</span>
1. Can you chamber load your srs to get a total of 6<span style="color: #FF0000">The magazine holds 6, so you could chamber one for a total of 7</span> rounds easily during a " shooter make ready" time frame in a match? Or is this a cycle bolt eject mag insert new mag procedure? With a regular bolt gun throw a round in chamber close bolt and insert new 10 round mag for a total of 11 rounds.<span style="color: #FF0000">It works just like a normal bolt gun, except that everything is further rearward.</span>
2. Does the fact you only have 5 round mag, and the time it takes to do a mag change make you wish you had a ten round mag to stay competitive?<span style="color: #FF0000">Again, the mag holds 6. Some shoots don't run many stages longer than 5 rounds. If they do, it is a drawback to the system. I can change mags pretty quick, and don't feel this is a major problem.</span>
3. If you need one more round to complete the stage can you single load? <span style="color: #FF0000">Yes, but not as easily as your current setup. Single loading requires a little bit more deliberate placement to get the bullet tip feed right.</span>
4. Do the mags drop free?
<span style="color: #FF0000">Yes</span>
5. If the srs jams...game over you just lost the stage? Or is it easy to clear.
<span style="color: #FF0000">Same as your rifle.</span>
6. Has your SRS jammed on you during your last 300 rounds? (please be honest)
<span style="color: #FF0000">Of course! Who's hasn't? We ran a national level shoot last week end here in Las Vegas. With the exception of 2 AR's, all shooters shot a Remington or a Rem clone. Lots of jams occurred. My SRS likes to have the bolt run hard. So long as I don't pussy foot with it, it is fine. Individual Rems have their own individual ways they like to be ran or they will jam.</span>
Thanks. </div></div>
By all means, try one out before you take the plunge. Fill out your shooter profile. Maybe one of us lives near you. If you live near Vegas, come shoot a match and try mine out.
