The 7 Rem Mag is gone. We have blanks to spin them up. Chambers are typically cut to SAAMI Spec, but custom chambers can be cut on request. We have some 7 PRC barrels on the shelf. We also have a couple 7mm barrel blanks on the shelf if you'd like to have something spun up.

One of my favorite things about the SRS and HTI platforms.Never ceases to amaze me.....50 BMG.
Just changed over from my 375CT barrel...
Sight in...120yds... 3 shots after adjustment..
What can are you using on the 50bmg? How do you like it?
Using an Elite Iron on my 375ct but looking for a can for the 50 has always been difficult

Looks like he’s using a terminator T6 brake
Like most, I don’t use a 50 cal can, I use a large brake too. If I were going to use a can it would probably be the upcoming TBAC can
Hey woofer what’s your velocity with 218 grains of 2218? And what brass/primer?

The TBAC is the real deal.
The only ?? are if you can accept the 2 feet of length (almost) and the $5000 price tag
For me, it’s a novelty device bc I mainly shoot 50 BMG for shits and giggles. And I don’t think I’m willing to pay $5000 plus stamp for a 2-foot long novelty

I’d like to see TBAC offer it in steel at a significant drop in price. For $5k there will be some who buy it, but that’s a lot of cheddar for a suppressor.The TBAC is the real deal.

mmm....8lb suppressor hanging off the end of a long barrel.....
The TBAC 50 Cal Ti suppressor weighs in at 4.5 pounds and 22”
The EI 50 steel can is 4# 2oz and 14” long by 2” diameter. And $1800

Yep...using the T6 Brake........ Its an awesome brake !!! turns the 50 into a real pussycat..
Velocity is around 2580fps... Using RWS Primers ...RWS and Hornady Brass
Its interesting in regards to the 50bmg......"Most" dismiss it as a long range cartridge... I have found the opposite.
The 50 is the most consistent round i have used out to 2500mtrs....yep the 375CT is flatter , but the 50 is ( in my setup) more consistent and far more accurate!!
That’s the funny thing about H50 BMG - that is over the book Max load and yet it’s mild and the velocity would suggest you, correct
Yet on other forms, I have heard people say don’t dare go over 215 grains or you’ll blow yourself up
One of these days I’m gonna just have to try it myself
My young friends HTI 50 (foreground)....20"..

That 2850 is with a factory barrel or did you go and get a custom one spun up?Yep...using the T6 Brake........ Its an awesome brake !!! turns the 50 into a real pussycat..

I think he is saying 2580 with a 29 inch barrel and his charge.
That Hodgkin data, if you go and look in their book, is with a 45 inch barrel. Several of the manuals are like that and I have no idea why they are using a test barrel that is easily 10 to 15 inches longer than the longest barrel anyone uses, me being the rare exception at 40 inches.

Yep...2580 with factory DT barrel... 750 Amax.. .218gr of AR2218.. Most accurate combo i possess out to 2500mtrs !!
I think they bush their bolts, and the lockup the way the bolt is made can't hurt either!
Not Desert Tech...but still bloody impressive.
Took the HTI 50 bmg out today to shoot at 2000mtrs..
Also took one of my old classic sniper Rifles...1942 Enfield No4T .303 .. .original with its 2.5x ...yes " Two Point Five" power optic.
Shot at 1100 yds at one of the IPSC plates and one of the 14" plates.
6 shots at the 14"...3 hits
6 shots at the IPSC plate....4 hits ( 2 just at bottom of plate!!)
Bloody great old classic....
Apologies for the non DT related content..

is that the 6-36x?
"Bushing the bolt" is, as I understand it, a post-manufacturing end-user modification to reduce the firing pin hole size in the bolt.
Why would the manufacturer do that? If they wanted a smaller firing pin hole, why wouldn't they just drill it smaller?
Can somebody please explain this to me?
Including why it would affect accuracy in any way, which also doesn't make any sense at all
Absofuckinglutely.
It's probably the best scope S&B has made since the Ultra Short line came out about ten years ago.
Well fuck, I guess I'd better prepare some more time for sleeping on the couch then. I have 2x 5-25s and a 3-20x.
Honestly...the 6-36 is a HUGE improvement over the 5-25!!!
Why would you have prep for sleeping on a couch for buying a fine S&B optic?
I’ve just dropped a decent amount of cash on the new DT and my ute. At least they’re both getting some use now.
having lived in oz for a while..not strictly true, this is a UTE
Holden Ute - Wikipedia
but most people found a true ute, not so practical so the term has come into common use to refer to what the much of the world calls a pickup, but I'm a bit of a purest =)
Oh if you're going to drive a true ute, and you're going full bogan then a mullet is 100% required.
From what I have heard it helps to reduce primer deformation and prevents drag on the pin. I'm no expert, but looking at two of my unused bolts there seems to be clear evidence of bushing. Borden is bushing their bolts now. Again no expert.
Busing a bolt is usually something that is done to reduce the size hole of the firing pin. It is usually done after the manufacturing process. It usually entails reducing the size hole for the firing pin. Gunsmiths often times reduce the diameter of the firing pin at the same time.
Smaller pins and firing pin holes can reduce primer movement around the firing pin. Busing bolts has been common over the years for some non magnum calibers when shooting small rifle primers. I know many AI users who had bolts bushed back in the days when they wanted to shoot 6.5x47 which utilizes small primers. AI now uses small firing pins, so there is not need to bush bolts and turn down pins to shoot small rifle primer cases in their rifle systems.
Bushing bolts may be done after the fact by manufacturers. It could be to correct firing pin hole diameters or to correct manufacturing imperfections.

Is there any slack in your SRS-A2 triggers? One of mine has a decent amount of take up before it hits the all. It’s not gritty at all, it’s just a but of slack. It did have horrendous creep before it broke. You could literally break the trigger in stages if you wanted to. I pulled the transfer bar and sear and had to sand the contact surfaces down as they looked bad by the naked eye. Apparently these were unfinished from the factory. My other SRS-A2 has a trigger shoe that doesn’t move until it breaks clean.
This is my 3rd buck taken with the DT and factory 6.5CM barrel. Love this platform!
Nice job. Love that full length ARCA rail you have there.
They’re great platforms. Nice deer!
Nice. I'm kind of surprised you're not running a shorter 18-20" barrel?
We've sold lots of SRS Coverts to people who wanted the 16" .308. Some guys end up picking up 26" 6.5 CM barrels to go with their .308 Covert. Personally, I like the 22"-22.5" variety. It doest seem to give up much to a 26".
I ran a 36" .338LM Improved in my Covert for years
These days that chassis is dedicated to 16.5 - 20 inch barrels, of which a 16.5" 6.5x47L is a really damned good setup, especially suppressed. My only headache is that even with a 5-25x Ultra Short on it, I struggle to fit even my shortest clip-on for night shooting.
The UNS-A3 is the only one that comes close (ClipNV-LR is a bit sketchy and PVS-27 is a no go), but it's really no good past 10x magnification.
Edit: serious First World Problems, I know.
