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

    Any reason you don't do them in 50? Could you? How's the performance with 375? On the one hand I want the 50, but if it's also about accuracy, maybe 375 is better. But, then I still need a 50!

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

    I contacted DT, and the thickest they say can fit into an HTI is 1.62", I don't know the thickness of the 50bmg barrel (forgot to ask) but it weighs 9.15 pounds. Assuming I did my math right, a straight taper, with no fluting (but I like the fluting...) at 29" will weigh 15.7 pounds. So at...

    I'm at a loss for words

    And some critics didn't like the lack of diversity or women in the film. It's too bad they can't realize that it isn't just a story, but something that actually happened. Sorry that war doesn't fit your ideals.

    They look good, but a video for the T6 on their site shows that it's less effective than the Styer or Barret at recoil reduction. Better at the loud report, though.

    I was thinking about the XXX Bastard brakes, though they don't look much different from the DT brakes. But I'm sure looks aren't everything. And I know what you mean, recoil sucks but that loud report doesn't help with flinching either. Orkan, what do you think would be the thickest contour...

    Thanks a lot for all of that info! The brake makes sense; gas being redirected to somewhat pull the rifle away from you. I just couldn't figure out how the suppressor could reduce recoil, except by weight alone. So it sounds like a suppressor could help manage the recoil? Maybe I should get...

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

    I did wonder if there was any way to make the rifle heavier, but I doubt there's much, being that it's so small already. Being that it' so short, maybe instead of the stock 29" barrel using a longer, potentially thicker barrel would work? I know Short Action Customs makes barrels for the SRS...

    Glad to hear that it's accurate; I found it hard to believe that it wouldn't be. Not so happy about the rest of it, though. Not much you can do about weight, I suppose. Good thing the Razor Gen II weighs 3 pounds! I've been reading mixed reviews on suppressors helping with recoil; it seems...

    Any of you guys have the HTI, preferably in 50? I went to the first local 50 bmg shoot at the range, and there wasn't much love for the HTI. There's one guy at the club who has one, but he wasn't there to make comments. From what the others said, the rifle is too light and knocks the owner...

    Member Link Up Puget Sound Area Shooter's Group

    I've kinda neglected posting in here since the bump. I'm in Silverdale, and I just got a membership to UNSC; a bit of a drive for me, but they were taking on new members and 50 bmg is allowed sometimes. I don't have one yet, but soon... hopefully. I might go out there sometime this week...

    Think my buddy is disqualified from joining the military?

    Like others have said, it's up to the doctor at MEPS. I'm in the navy, so my knowledge on other branches isn't so great. But suppose you're trying to get in to the Army. If active duty won't take him, try National Guard. They've got different requirements (I believe) in getting in, yet they...

    So, Trump Killed Gander Mountain? Fascinating.

    I haven't been to one in two years, since I left southern Georgia. At the one in Jacksonville, I saw a used Gen 3 Glock with a sihtty adhesive grip; I forget what they're called. Asking $650, blew my mind. Their ammo prices were awful too. But that was when I was more interested in handguns...

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

    Is it possible to get just the hard cases for the SRS? I always see the hard and soft case combo, but I really don't need both. I'd rather get the pre fit ones, but if not, I'll just end up getting a generic one and cutting out the foam. Or, any more info on what the cases might be? Make...

    What's the torque value of the wrenches from DT? I thought it was 70 ft/lbs for the SRS, but now on the site it looks like it's 80 for the SRS and HTI. I ask cuz I might be getting an HTI later this year, and the site selling it said that the SRS' torque wrench won't work on the HTI. Also...

    GAP10 ShowEm Off Pics

    I gotta get back to the range; just chilling out at home the scope feels too low. I just don't wanna have to buy another mount, and re center my scope. Or for that matter, get the wrong mount for when I get the GAP. Thanks.

    That's what I was thinking; I can't be THAT low. I haven't gotten to go shooting in like 6 weeks; just moved. But I'll go our again before I jump to conclusions that I need to get another mount. Thanks.

    I should be getting a GAP 10 here in a few weeks, off of a fellow HIDE member. Looking forward to it. What height scope mounts do you guys usually run? I've got a Desert Tech as my primary rifle, with a Razor Gen II on a Spuhr 1.5" but I'm feeling it might not be tall enough. Just wanted...

    I'm not sure if I can't multi quote cuz I have a low post count, or if it's cuz I'm stupid. Anyway, I got 44.4 because of what SPUHR offered, and what I'd read on Desert Techs website. But, some people told me it was too much MOA. my scope just BARELY fits with the sunshade and lens cap, but...

    Okay, cuz that seemed awfully high, and by the pictures they didn't look THAT much taller than mine. I can't seem to find an answer on the the height is from the rail. Thanks.

    What height scope mount do you guys use? I've got a Razor Gen II in a SPUHR ISMS with 1.5" height and 44.4 MOA taper. I realize the MOA might be a bit much too, but I went with it cuz that's what I interpreted to be appropriate from DT. Anyway, I've got the cheek piece all the way to the...
