No, not really.
On the SRS the majority of the weight is at the rear, a stark contrast to the way a conventional platform is. Thats why it's such a beautiful animal in positional shooting.
I doubt it - the SRS's center of gravity pretty much maintains over the pistol grip, so a longer barrel, if anything, might make it bias forward. And for what it's worth, the 16" .308WIN barrel is flat out impressive, to the point where I can't see a reason for a longer .308WIN barrel. Now granted you may not want to swap handguards, so think the 22" barrel is a better default choice.
I'm getting the SRS but like the idea of having a short forend for brushy environments, how hard is it to put a covert forend on an SRS, what tools do I need?
If anyone here has an SRS with the quad rail and would like to trade for the new A1 rail, shoot me a PM. I have an A1 on order and would rather have a quad rail. DTA told me they couldn't put the older rail on my A1 for some reason.
I sent you a pm regarding this, I'm interested in a trade.
Wow that is cool. I have NEVER seen anyone try to downgrade on ANY item before. I recently bought a gen 2 knowing the A1 was due soon. I'm glad I didn't hesitate to snatch that baby up when I did. It's gonna be months before ya'll see that A1. I'll have my loads down for the 308 and 338 by then.

This has probably been introduced in this thread but what is the price of a benchmark DTA SRS conversion kit (22" threaded, fluted, and cerakoted)
Also how do these shoot? I'm having SAC build me a 300 WM and I'm decideding if I want to get DTA's conversion kit for my .308 or benchmarks.
I have to respectfully disagree with your argument. I understand where you're coming from, but you seem to be unfamiliar with Mark's work. ALL of my DTA barrels will be coming from SAC. Coincidentally, I do actually own a make-believe Ferrari, and I use SAC part on that, too!No disrespect to the fine gunsmiths producing dTA parts, but when I put parts on my Ferrari, I use genuine Ferrari parts. Well I would if I owned a Ferrari... Which I don't. I'd stick with DTA parts if in fact DTA makes them.
Can't say about BM barrels never owned one but a shooting buddy of mine had one for his DTA and ended up replacing it with one from SAC and is very happy. I have (2) SAC barrels and (2) DTA barrels and both shoot great. I think Mark of SAC customs does fantastic work (fit,finish and performance) and I would not hesitate getting more of my barrels from him in calibers that DTA doesn't offer. For my DTA barrels they will only come from these (2) vendors, I have no reason to look elsewhere. Your choice could be different.
Good luck...choose wisely!

Sure Russ..... Just keep bragging about that gen1 you have with the cheek piece and butt pad upgrade. Been awhile since you posted a pic of the PSR too! Must be nice to be an employee of Nicks. Lol
Russ,...I am putting a new Steiner through its paces and getting ready for a ELR class.
Russ,
I picked up a Steiner 5-25x for when my A1 comes in. How's your objective clearance? Thanks.
Thanks. I was concerned with the length of the Steiner being an issue with the Spuhr 44 MOA mount.
Just to be clear..... I don't own a gen 1. I don't have a butt pad upgrade on any of my rifles. Put your purses down ladies. I don't have the cheek piece on my covert either. I personally don't see the utility of it other than not having my hace on the cold rifle in less than perfect conditions. I do however have "THE" PSR and yes I did get a cheek piece on it, well just cuz I can.
For anyone who wonders...... Employees very seldom get new rifles. We buy our demos, like I did or wait in line just like a customer.
I don't even have an A1 as a demo yet. I like to see you guys get your rifles and these boys in the shop are hopping.
I will get a fresh pic of the old girl posted up next week for you Mikeltee, haha, I am putting a new Steiner through its paces and getting ready for a ELR class.
Shoot straight gents.
And just to be clear with you... I was totally joking. No one is jealous of your access to the latest toys at DTA. Well... Not that jealous anyways to be calling you out. Now get back to work and send me my 200 rounds of 338 ammo. Lol
Here's my rifle with the Spuhr mount. I prefer the DTA mount, but I have a 30 MOA taper on my top rail for the length of the rifle. I needed a 0 MOA mount and we don't offer that in a 34mm mount. The Spuhr has some great points, but there are a few things I don't like about them. I'm not getting into that here online though.
Another view of the cheek rest for anyone interested.
We have some wide open spaces here in Utah to stretch out our systems.
Russ @ Desert Tactical
I've been told I won't get mine until November (ordered early April)...Ive been told I will have mine in hand in weeks not months
