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

    The rifle was designed to be a tactical precision rifle. The bolt is oversized to allow manipulation with out breaking sight picture. Having said that, the bolt handle threads into the bolt on one end and the knob on the other. I am pretty sure that you could have a machinist shorten the handle...

    Funny and so true.

    Talk to me about 6.5 Creedmoor in a GAP-10

    Spend half as much on an ugly $1200 DPMS and shoot circles around any of those guys with $3K gas guns. With the difference, buy a reloading kit and run the 139 Lapua's. After all this is done, smile. Ty

    The barrel lock is unnecessary, If you take a second to look down the fore end you will see that it is a last ditch precaution. Yes I understand that it is there for a reason, I just have not used mine is 3 years is all. Ty

    Rifle Scopes ERS 3.5-21 or XRS 4.5-30 for 308 bolt gun?

    I had been considering either of these. I too rarely use max mag, but even in positional shooting I rarely go below 10x. Sounds like if price is not an issue, my money would be better spent on the 4.5-30. I appreciate the topic and you answering with true knowledge as you have both. Ty

    anyone use a 22-250 with 1/8 twist barrel?

    Yeah, I built the barrel around the 80 A-max. Only one problem, none to be had! Hornady has temporarily quit making them. Sucks...... I did consider the 90's, and a 7 twist. However, that 80's numbers were to tempting. Thanks for the info, Ty

    anyone use a 22-250 with 1/8 twist barrel?

    We machined a 22" 22-250 with an 8 twist for my DTA. I got 3300 FPS out of an 80 grain Sierra using Superformance and CFE223. We backed it down to 3150 and getting 1/4" groups at 100 yards with the Superformance because I want to use it in comps and need to respect the 3100-3200 FPS speed limit...

    Rear bags...is there such a thing as a perfect one?

    The perfect height bag is an adjustable one. The Str8 Laced Shooting bag is awesome1 Read this review: Str8 Laced Gun Gear shooting bag | Sin City Precision

    Typically it would, but the component shortage is really taking it's toll. People can't shoot. Competitions are even drying up. Hell I have had a barrel for sale for over a week now, and typically they sell after being on the board for an hour or so. Sucks, but until people can buy ammo and...

    Greg, the SAUM feeds pretty much the same as the WSM in the DTA mags. We have the GAP spec 6.5 SAUM reamer, but so far have not had good results. We are still trying to work out a load as the GAP load doesn't shoot well. However, the 7 SAUM with both 162 A-max and 180 Bergers is just silly...

    I picked 32" because of this article: Lilja Precision Rifle Barrels - Articles: Barrel Lenghts and Velocities in the 338/378 Weatherby Magnum I realize it is outdated and not for the .338 Lapua, but rather the .338/378 Weatherby Magnum, but what the hell. Also, I used a 9.5" twist from...

    How about you let me spin you a covert length barrel? We have put out 3 16" 6.5 Creedmoor rifles that shoot 139 Lapua's at about 2650 very accurately. We have the following reamers; 22-250, 6XC, 243, 6.5 Creedmoor, 7 SAUM, 308, 338 Lapua Magnum. All of these have given us exceptional accuracy...

    That reticle is amazing! I like to dial elevation and hold windage. The only problem is that with every other mil reticle the first hold off is at .5 mil. That is a ton of windage and so in comps I usually will dial windage as well on the closer shots. The first time I saw DTA's with .2 mil...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell XPS 4.5-30 elevation problem

    Ok, so I talked my dad (long time Leupold fan who still thinks that Bushnell is shit) into getting the XPS 4.5-30. It shows up, I mount it on his Weatherby (still working on this hang up) with a 20 MOA pic base using TPS rings. Everything goes together great. I go to bore sight it, and run out...

    2013 PCPR Challenge at altitude

    Wow, what a beautiful place! I really didn't know what to make of all of those green things every where, someone called them "t-ree-s", but what ever. Dane and I had a great time. The courses of fire were challenging, fun, and flowed so well that there was very little down time. The RO's were...

    This is an early Gen 1 gun, right? I have seen a few extensions that won't work with bolts and vice versa. I have heard it was a really early problem that was worked out. But yeah, I have an early Gen 1 and have this problem from time to time. DTA warranty has fixed the problem every time. Ty

    I'll check to see if 7, and 6.5 SAUM feed, but I don't see why it would be a problem because the WSM feeds just fine. Also, D Miller and I have reamers in both of these calibers. We would be happy to spin you up a barrel. Ty
