How does the SRS shoot in 300 Win Mag? The conversions seem to be hard to find now which seems to indicate that they weren't that popular or didn't work right?
I think I'd rather go 300WM instead of 338LM as I don't need the range of 338LM and I have lots of heavy 308 bullets to use.
Is there a good place to find a kit at hopefully less than full retail?

Who do you guys recommend for getting a custom barrel spun up for my DT? Looking at an improved cartridge, possibly a 300NM imp or 338 Lapua imp
Because most of the best long range shooters are left handed and they don't make a left hand HTI !Why dont you hear about guys using the hti for the ko2 mile competition? Are they not as accurate as a barreled action setup?

All of you mediocre right hand ELR shooters who win these comps can thank Nick for letting you win them.
Sarcasm filled rant over, but I'd still like to have a left Hand HTI Nick !!!!!

My .300WM barrel is more precise than my 6.5cm barrel. The reason you don't see it that much is because of the calibers available to us. Most end up running a hot 7mm or step up to the .300 Norma.
If I could do it over again and still lived in North Dakota, I would of went .300 Norma.
I just don't have any use for the 338 based cartridges as I don't have any way to shoot beyond 1400yds at the very most within 3 hours of me so 300WM would be a better fit cost wise I think.
They are not backwards compatible.As a AI guy I have an itch that needs scratched in owning a DTA as well. I prefer the A1 over the A2 but like the idea of the new trigger. Any idea is they are backwards compatible and you can buy just the new trigger group?
Same here - do it! I was able to put together rifle and scope combination for less than the A1s were listed for a few months back.As a AI guy I have an itch that needs scratched in owning a DTA as well.

DeletedDesert tech is having a fire sale on the a1 srs chassis and barrels.
Can we circle back to this? My covert HG is coming Monday for the 16" Creedmoor barrel I have. I currently have an NF 7-35 Which I was planning to sell to get the mil-xt reticle, but now I'm worried it won't fit. I would also prefer to not go to a 3-18 as I want a higher top end mag for when I put on the 300NM barrel and really reach out. Anyone had a simisimilar situation?You guys that are planning to grab a covert and run a 16” Barrel be cognizant of your scope bell hanging at or off the end of the hand guard, especially if your running a can, you don’t want hot gas spraying your lens. Most large 5-25 scopes will hang over depending on your scope location in the rings and on the rail.
This information has never been publicly released before, so I have to get some approvals. Standby. Maybe someone here is handy with measurements and has the tools to provide you that information quicker than I can.@DTDustin what are the thread specs on the monopod? (Where it attaches to the chassis)
Thanks. Also, can you give me the length of the covert handguard?

interesting, the S&B is actuall .38" longer than the NF, so depending on eye relief, it may workThis may help for perspective. It’s a S&B PMII 5-25 which is of similar length on a Covert.

Curious if anyone here knows some barrel specs on the HTI 375 CT barrel
Make: Lothar-Walther
Groove: 6?
Metal: (SS or CM)?
Cut or button?
And do you think the 10.5" twist will be enough to spin a Cutting Edge 350grn Lazer (suggested twist 10"). I know the 350 MTH will stabilize with the 11" twist. Id really like to see how they open up on game, from coyotes to deer and elk.
Thanks,
Deano

Anyone else get ahold of a new A2 and have thoughts about the new trigger? Good or bad?
I have the opportunity to pick up a basically new(but used) SRS-A1 covert with a 22” Bartlien 308 barrel or spend $1800 more to order a new SRS-A2. I would love the weight savings, just not sure if 2lb savings and a question mark for a trigger is worth $1800 more.
Some of the weight savings as I understand it is from flutes in the barrels. FYI
I am shopping the A1 A2 question right now. I've had monopod on many rifles, and now prefer a rear bag so not an issue for me. You can add one later to the A2, so no rush either.Ya I figured the weight savings would be a combination of barrel flutes, chassis lightning, and no more monopod. I also can’t decide if I would want a monopod either as ive never used one.
I’m in Canada so there aren’t many around to go put your hands on.
That "test" they are basing improved accuracy on was anecdotal at best, so don't let that factor in at all. At shot, one new trigger was phenomenal, another was not great, and most were good, but not quite as good as my A1I am shopping the A1 A2 question right now.

I talked with DT and picked up 2 key points. First the person I talked does believe the A2 has more precision potential based upon tests they ran using the same barrel(s) on each platform.
Second was that people were having trouble adjusting the A1 triggers so the A2 trigger was probably an effort to simply the process rather than improve it.
I'm left believing the A2 might make a group a hair smaller for a very tiny group of people and the A1 will have a more versital range of adjustments.

Nah. Happy with what I got! Only thing that would intrigue me might be the ultra lite hunting Creedmore .Buy an A2 and you’ll see!!
Agree!Yeah but that’s just a barrel. Anyone can do that for you, or take a 1/2 shot-out barrel and have it turned to shave off some weight.
IMO, swapping scopes and spinning off my monopod will save plenty of weight, both of which I have done in the past.
I’m interested in this tooInteresting... what made the one trigger feel "not great" compared to the other triggers?
Is it easy to remove the monopod from the A1?Yeah but that’s just a barrel. Anyone can do that for you, or take a 1/2 shot-out barrel and have it turned to shave off some weight.

They had more takeup than I prefer. (Having said that, I did the Primal Rights mod to my safety, so my A-1 trigger has no disernible take up to me)I’m interested in this too
Very, there are wrench flats. Righty tighty lefty looseyIs it easy to remove the monopod from the A1?
