AX v DTA SRS
Re: AX v DTA SRS I have owned both as well and prefer the AX. The difference for me is in the details. I prefer a two stage trigger to a single stage even though the single stage in the DTA is very nice. Also, the AI double stack mags are easier to load and hold more rounds. The biggest...- Kevin_Deaton

Re: New AI mkIII .308 *pics* Looking good! You made a great choice. I actually got the email yesterday from Mile High that my AX is in so I should have a post like this, except with crappy photos, very soon.- Kevin_Deaton

accidental fire
Re: accidental fire My dad had an accidental discharge with an older 700 BDL in 7mm rem mag back in the mid 80's. He had kept his rifle loaded, including a bullet in the chamber, during the drive back to camp from his blind. When he got back to camp he went to unload the rifle and it went...- Kevin_Deaton

Sidearms & Scatterguns What is your favorite or most wanted pistol & why?
Re: What is your favorite or most wanted pistol & why? My favorite that is currently in the safe is a Glock 17 that has had a grip reduction and stippling job by Diversified Firearms Concepts. I used to not be a big fan of Glocks, but with the right mods I've learned to like them. I have a...- Kevin_Deaton

4k to spend on new rifle
Re: 4k to spend on new rifle Is your budget for the rifle only or do you also need good glass to go on it? I agree with what others have suggested about crawling behind as many rifles as you can before making your purchase. You will quickly figure out what stocks work best for you...- Kevin_Deaton

Sidearms & Scatterguns I want a Tomahawk can I see some?
Re: I want a Tomahawk can I see some? Dan Winkler makes some interesting hawks. Some of his hawks, along with his knives, have found favor with the high-speed low-drag types. You can check out his semi-custom line of knives and hawks here...- Kevin_Deaton

16-18 inch shorty rifles
Re: 16-18 inch shorty rifles I decided to try out the DTA SRS since I was looking for a compact bolt gun. I haven't shot it yet so I'm not sure how I'm going to like it, but the size is great. Mine is the standard SRS with a 22" 308 barrel. Below are pictures comparing the SRS to my AIAW...- Kevin_Deaton

What's Your First Gun Related Purchase For 2012
Re: What's Your First Gun Related Purchase For 2012 Mine was a DTA SRS in 308 along with a S&B PM2 5-25 P4F. I also picked up three Atlas V8 bipods to replace my first gen units and a set of Viperskins for my AIAW. I think I'm done for a bit now unless I decide the SRS isn't for me and I...- Kevin_Deaton

AIAW out in the desert...
Re: AIAW out in the desert... The Viperskins for my AW showed up today. I just slapped them on and snapped a couple of quick iPhone pics. I really like the design, but they don't fit perfect with the IMUNS attached. The skins bow out just a bit where the contact the IMUNS. A little...- Kevin_Deaton

My Mk18 Mod1ish build
I recently picked up a Daniel Defense Mk18 upper from my buddy at Western Sport and decided to do a Mk18 semi-clone. I've had the Knights can sitting in the safe for awhile and I figured this would be a good rifle to run it on. Here are a few crappy pics. I haven't torqued down the comp yet so...- Kevin_Deaton
