Official (DTA) SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Thread

Re: Idea! Official DTA SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Thread

Thought I would show off some of Short Action Custom's DTA work:

7 WSM
27" 1:8.75 twist Bartlein
APA Little Jimmy brake

Have not even had a chance to clean it yet, hopefully will get to go see how it performs in the next few weeks

Yes I read your post, you wondered why the variance in the 338 so I made my post. Others have posted they have no POI change

Understood, but my point was that it was first time firing the rig, so I had no base data.
 
Re: Idea! Official DTA SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Thread

Does anybody have their distances to ogive for 250gr scenars and/or 300gr scenars. Want to double check my measurements, they seem a little funny.

Thanks!

Re: Idea! Official DTA SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Thread

So it looks like Im gonna take the DTA plunge.

Im ordering a chassis, mag, bolt and barrel extension. Im gonna get a 6mm Bartlein barrel and have it spun up by my smith in .243 Win.

Does anyone know if the barrel extension comes with the blueprints for the barrel work?
 
Re: Idea! Official DTA SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Thread

I don't believe the extension comes with barrel prints. They used to show an armorer's toolkit on their website that listed the print as part of it, but I don't see the kit now. Because of this you might want to work with a smith that does these, and it seems like Short Action Customs does more than anybody else.

I love the versatility that the SRS gives.
 
Re: Idea! Official DTA SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Thread

Yeah, I saw that Mark does them.

Theres on day left on the group buy for the 6.5 Creedmoore barrels.......I wouldnt mind picking up one of those as well since the 6.5 isnt such a barrel burner but I wanted a fluted barrel.
 
Re: Idea! Official DTA SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Thread

One other question if anyone can help me.

Regarding ring height. I know since the DTA doesnt have an adjustable comb, ring height is critical for proper cheek weld.

I have a Premier 3x15x50 I will be mounting. What does the ring height need to be with a 30 MOA mount to still get a good sight picture?

I know DTA makes their mounts but I realy want to use the American Rifle Company mount.

After using a set of their rings......I will never use a different manufacturer if I can help it. Hands down the best rings I have ever used.....no one else comes close.
 
Re: Idea! Official DTA SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Thread

As the newest member on the Hide,(when I started to post) I do appreciate the idea of all D.T. posts in one spot. I am also soon to be the newest SRS owner. So I am going to be looking for all kinds of SRS info, and people with brass,powder, bullet, and optics experience. I like your idea, thanks

I really like my TT butt-pad. I hope he still does them, because the DTA needs something there. I don't use my TT pad on my 6.5 CM, but enjoy the pad when I shoot my 338LM.

Re: Idea! Official DTA SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Thread

The cheekweld issue is kind of a non-issue for the vast majority of SRS shooters. If you're unsure of ring height, give DTA a call as I'm sure they get asked that question often.

Ring height isn't the issue. I'm all good in that dept. I'm just looking for a bit of padding for when the 338 lets loose. And when my cheek starts sweating all over the stock it gets slippery.

No SW but my load shoots like a million bucks. You shooting the long barrel or the short?
 
Re: Idea! Official DTA SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Th

Has anyone ever unscrewed a barrel from the extension? Does it looks just like a standard barrel tennon? Is there some kind of complicated machine work?

I'm still trying to understand the high prices for some of the stuff associated with this rifle.

DTA now has the barrel extensions listed at $250.. Add $320 for a bartlein, krieger Obermyer, Brux or similar barrel.......your at $570.

Subtract that from the $1350 SAC wants for a barrel and that leaves $780 for barrel work.

What am I missing here? I know SAC does great work....I've owned one of Marks rifles......shot wonderful. That being said, my local smith......who's work is outstanding, charges me $300 to spin up, chamber, cut, crown and thread a barrel.


Does everyone figure since the rifle is spendy in the first place that the high prices associated with everything is normal, or is there some complicated machine work......more so than say spinning a barrel up for any other action.....that I am unaware of?

 
Re: Idea! Official DTA SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Th

I believe the rice you are quoting for Mark includes Cerakote, and includes a threaded muzzle with thread protector as well.

I understand.

Again, Im not doubting the quality of Marks work.

The $300 I quoted for what I typically pay for barrel work includes threading the muzzle. It doesnt include coating or a thread protector but I use a brake or can anyways....I never need a thread protector.
 
Re: Idea! Official DTA SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Thread

Can someone give directions on replacing the barrel pin on a Gen 1 SRS. Just got one used and noticed it is damaged. Works fine but somebody definitely wasn't gentle in putting it in. Flattened on the front.
Called DTA on Friday to get new pin and info but nobody home. Try again Monday.

The online manual says see page so and so to replace pin but there's nothing there.

Thanks.
 
Re: Idea! Official DTA SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Thread

Call them monday they will take care of ya. its not hard. the gen 1's are not as bad as people say they are i don't understand the stigma, its kinda nice that the pin is so easily replaced.

i had one for almost 3 years and 3k rounds and it was a awesome gun, now i have a gen two and it continues to be a great setup.
 
Re: Idea! Official DTA SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Thread

Pin replacement is pretty simple if I recall correctly...its in my manual and I remember seeing the pin when I pulled the skins off to replace the handguard. Remove the barrel and bolt. Pull off the skins, look on the bottom of the receiver near the rear of the barrel extension, you'll see the roll pin or at least the bottom end of it. Take a proper sized roll pin punch and tap it into the receiver. Dump it out the front end. Take the new pin and tap it into the hole from the bottom so that its just flush. Put the skins back on, bolt and barrel in and you're set.

Hope that helps

Frank

Re: Idea! Official DTA SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Thread

Anyone have metal issues with their DTA mounts? I've had some with my 40 Moa. First, 3 heads snapped off on normal 15/18 inch/lbs using a Borka. Warranty sent me new ones, but low,and beholdmtheynwere wrong size. Called them back and turns out they switched production and thread size, so they sent me a new mount. Props on them big time. However,I have one hole,in the mount where the metal is either soft, or not tapped right. Swapped out screws, and the same result. Screws will just not bite all the way, or can be torqued on that one hole. Anyone experience this as well?

Gave Joe a call again, see what they can do. About to say to heck with it and go another route in 34 mm. Any suggestions?
 
Re: Idea! Official DTA SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Thread



I'm sort of curious too, because it would seem pretty straightforward to just purchase a barrel extension from DTA and have my local gunsmith thread and chamber. Even with Cerakote and a thread protector that seems steep. Again, not questioning the workmanship, just wondering if there is something unusual or tricky about fitting a barrel to the DTA extension.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: sr90</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Netranger,

No idea. It pretty much gets to a point of resistance, then spins freely. The fasteners however, are not stripped.
 
Re: Idea! Official DTA SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Thread

Call Joe and have him send you another base, likely have a stripped hole from the sounds of it.

Re: Idea! Official DTA SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Thread

Its a piece of cake. get an extension and barell print from DTA and your smitty can easily chamber and thread. I'm having a guy in vegas do it for me its under 600 bucks that includes threading the end of the barell. Its a benchmark barell. SST and bead blasted

Re: Idea! Official DTA SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Thread

Many have requested a softer recoil pad on the SRS. The PSR rifle at SHOT had the perfect solution proudly displayed.

Where is it? I personally know of 6 different SRS rifles who's owners would order an upgraded pad RIGHT NOW if one were available. It is BRUTAL shooting 300 scenars out of an SRS in the summer time. In winter with heavy jacket, it's not so terrible, but still not fun.

Conversely, I can get behind an AIAW and shoot until I get tired of spending 6 dollar bills. I can shoot an AR50 50 times, and not get beat up as badly as 50 300scenars from this DTA.

It's been seven months since SHOT. I truly hope that a solution is forthcoming and made readily available to the public. This is quite literally the <span style="text-decoration: underline">only aspect</span> of this weapon system that is lacking, and it's lacking in a huge way. It's inexcusable that a system at this price point wouldn't have an acceptable recoil pad. It would be very nice to be able to shoot more than 20rnds of 338 without being beat to death.

This has been brought up many times in this thread, and unless I've missed something... a solution has not been forthcoming.

Can someone from DTA give us some kind of response on this? Can we count on you to provide a solution in the near future... or are we on our own to solve this problem? I don't mean to be disrespectful, but these rifles have been on the market for several years, and countless people on various forums have requested this upgrade.

Having a limbsaver pad glued to the ass end of these rifles will sure look ridiculous, but at least we'll be able to shoot them without being punished. Those that don't feed a steady diet of 338 probably don't care... but those of us that do, desperately want a resolution and BEG you to provide the solution that you already have designed.

After an 8 month wait on our great ATF, I can now officially say my DTA SRS is complete. Of course I have to have my own modifications, so if something looks different in the photo, it's suppose to be that way.

My guess on the lack of response to this issue is that you and 5 other guys are the only ones who are having a problem. Its hard to design, tool up, test and make parts for such a small percentage of buyers. There has to be some solution you can find in the aftermarket which will fit the bill for you. Someone was making cheekrest/buttpads that were fitted to the SRS and that might be a better solution for you. Most of us don't seem to have the problem you do and I wouldn't put a buttpad on my rifle if you paid me. The stock is perfect as is and I've never had any problems with recoil in this rifle. I don't shoot a lot of 300gr .338 slugs but I do shoot 450-700 gr .50 cal bullets at velocities of 1100-2000fps in the 12.7 X 48 barrel. My CZ550 safari magnum has a buttpad and it smacks me pretty hard shooting the same ammo. I'll stick with the solid buttpad on the DT for the heavies.

Just my opinion of course.

Frank
The picture shows:
ND500 with a 450gr lead flat nose 1800 fps, 12.7 X 48 with 450gr lead flat nose 1800fps and 12.7X48 with 650gr API 1050fps
Now I'm running Barnes 450gr jacketed flat nose at 2000fps...

And I would not. I'm one of those who'd love to see the softer PSR buttpad available for SRS.

As an observation, if really so few people considered a softer buttpad and an adjustable cheek rest useful - why would the "big customer" request it and why would DTA spend efforts (= time + money) designing and prototyping it?

And while I'm almost sure biffj's opinion matters

Re: Idea! Official DTA SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Thread

We will have a retrofittable srs recoil pad upgrade guys, just be patient a while longer. I agree the initial pad came out a bit stiff. I just have a permanent goose egg on my collar bone cuz I love the 338LM, the goose egg helps tame it down.
smile.gif


As far as our silencers go. We designed the cans first to have maximum accuracy, followed by minimum weight, and lastly for suppression. We shot too many cans that suppressed but had excessive impact shift, wandering groups, unrepeatable installation, and many decreased the weapons accuracy. Our cans are the most accurate and most repeatable silencers on the market and the titanium models have less than 1.5 MOA of vertical shift when they are installed and when you remove and re-install them then it returns to zero every time. We have documented results that our cans improve overall weapon accuracy, typically takes a 1/2 moa gun down to 1/4 moa.

As far as suppression goes, when firing 308 win through either of our DTSS 308 and DTSS 338 cans it is as quiet any competitive can we have tested. When firing .338LM ammo through the DTSS 338 can then it is approx. 8 DB louder than the thunderbeast which is definitely noticable if your within 20'-30' from the gun. The DTSS 338 is a good deal lighter than the Thunderbeast and shorter and the DTSS has better return to zero accuracy and much less impact shift when installed. Thunderbeast brought their cans out for us to test and it is the quietest 338 can we have ever tested, but we found that after installing the can the rifles groups walked across the paper approx. 1.25" during the first five shots before it settled down and started grouping well again. It also had approx 5" of diagonal impact shift when installed.

If your shooting .308 caliber or smaller and you want ultimate suppression DTSS and Thunderbeast cans are 6's. If your shooting .338LM and want additional suppression over accuracy and repeatability the .338 Thunderbeast would be the way to go.

If your goal is the best accuracy and repeatability available with good suppression then the DTSS is for you. Two different tools with different benefits.

Very thorough and much appreciated. Thank you for that, thanks also to the others who offered their thoughtful opinions, and thanks too to all the staff at DTA who have gone "above and beyond" in helping this Precision Rifle newbie along.

Being a logarithmic scale, 8dB is quite a sound pressure difference, but I did buy my DTA SRS system (shipped today—YAHOOOO!) for accuracy and it makes no sense for me to buy a can that would ruin that.

One of my earliest questions concerned the tolerability of the HTI's recoil compared with alternatives such as the McMillan TAC50A1-R2 (their new recoil reduction system for interior designers ). I expect I'll have my own opinion on recoil pads in a few days. [chuckling]

Still hoping for someone in the Phoenix area who wants to show off their HTI.
 
Re: Idea! Official DTA SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Thread

I think McMillans recoil reduction system should be renamed the "eye-poker-matic" cuz eye relief on the 50's is a critical thing and having a stock that compresses will eliminate a lot of optics from being able to be used on the rifles.

Rearward recoil force on the HTI is similar to the Tac-50 but the HTI's ergonomics are far superior and a lot easier to shoot because our bipod is not in the mid-point of the gun causing the gun to flop around under recoil and our rearward monopod and ergo's are not way high up off the ground requiring very large sand socks to stabilize the rifle. Also the HTI mag's feed phenominally and are very easy to swap do to our patent pending dual locking mechanism that allows mags to drop free but locks out all play in the magazine when installed. The Tac-50's mags don't feed well at all and are very difficult to swap out.

I'm convinced. An HTI is next. Sure would like to shoot one to be sure I don't qualify for a <span style="color: #CC33CC"><span style="font-weight: bold">pink</span></span> MacMillan.

I will get an update on the 375ct ammo for you tomorrow load development is done and we are awaiting components now.
 
Re: Idea! Official DTA SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Thread

DTA's suppressors are crazy light weight.

I decided to go with TBAC before even trying one. I have been very happy with mine. I have the 30BA and the 338BA models. Both are very quiet and have a 2 MOA shift down and .5 MOA shift right when mounted. I have not had any issues with the suppressor taking a few rounds to settle in. The shift is the same every time and my group sizes are the same size with the suppressor mounted.

If I had to do it again, I would go with just the 338BA.
