    Best Chronograph out there?

    Nice comments, all good! I gave up on optical chronographs 6 years ago, just too many issues with light conditions. I need accurate velocities for precision rifle shooting, Magnetospeed came along and has proven to be good for that. I never have seen POI shift on the rifle I am concerned with...

    Dream: Shooting out your back porch/window/walk out basement?

    I've been very blessed to have the home I have. It has a 150 yard range with steel silhouettes and plates off my deck. This spring a friend and I cut another range about 30 degrees to the left of this range that will have 100, 200, and 300 yard railroad tie backstops. I even have UKD four leg...

    Best Chronograph out there?

    Optical chronographs are very prone to inaccurate readings for a host of reasons. You need accurate velocities to predict POI, plus they are a pain to setup. With very few exceptions optical chronographs are not an option to consider anymore. The Magnetospeed is accurate, reliable, and simple...

    Best Chronograph out there?

    Hear is my solution to the issues people have with the Magnetospeed. I use this with and without the suppressor, and on multiple guns. It is solid and does not touch the barrel or suppressor. The Magnetospeed is much simpler to use and extremely reliable with this setup. It does not shoot loose...

    What scope is everyone running for elr

    There are many different requirements, and perceptions regarding an optics magnification and it's intended use. Personally, I bought the S&B 5-45 x 56 PM II because of the the range of magnification. I don't use the 5x much, but I do use the 45x alot. When I bought it, the NF 7-35 was available...

    Best action and barrel system for changing yourself.

    That's ok, kinda thought so but you didn't specify it. I would have a harder time than most trying that as my left eye is unusable for sighting. I can do it, but have work at it. Yes, the DSR-1 was the inspiration for the DTA SRS, that is a very rare firearm. As I said earlier, the SRS is not...

    Best action and barrel system for changing yourself.

    Yes, Desert Tech makes left hand guns too. As for me I do just fine right hand. It balances much better when shooting free hand too, since the weight is closer in. And if I run a 31" suppressed 338, the OAL is much easier to work with than a conventional bolt gun. The receiver clamps on 5" of...

    Best action and barrel system for changing yourself.

    So, a rifle system with quick (2 minute) change barrels that constantly repeats and is capable of 1/4 MOA is stupid? They may not be what you, or others like you want, but they are exactly what I and others like me want! I won't go into the pros and cons of different rifle systems, but realize...

    Bartlein Barrels Update

    I would especially like to thank Mark at Bartlien for all the help he gave me when ordering my barrels. I sure am glad I got them ordered when I did! They are all working extremely well in my DTA SRS A1, great groups, can't wait to get out in warm weather and have some fun with them. Thanks to...

    AI vs. DT

    The balance point with a factory 26" barrel and large optic is quite well centered on the SRS. That said, the weapons weight is further back toward the operator making it easier to support, and off hand shooting much easier than with a normal rifle where the weapons weight is forward and nose heavy.

    AI vs. DT

    First off as many have said, I too think the AI rifles are very nice, certainly more finished off, and definitely more professional quality military grade weapons than the DT. A couple of things no one else has mentioned though, their magazines are very nice, probably the best, but I sure do...

    Internal Donut on new brass?

    I just checked 155 new ADG 6 5 PRC cases. The neck ID's are .262 to .263 slip fit on pin gages. There are no restrictions or smaller ID at the shoulder junction on these. I ran 2 through my .290 bushing neck die, then my .262 mandrel. I get .261 ID easy slip fit and a .262 gage pin just kind of...

    Internal Donut on new brass?

    I just found this yesterday when neck sizing once fired ADG 6.5 PRC brass. I sized the neck down with a .290 bushing and up with a .262 mandrel. When pin gaging the neck I found it smaller where it meets the shoulder. I thought I didn't get the mandrel all the way through so I made sure it was...

    Precision Rifle Gear Would you do it again

    I would certainly do it again, I have had a great time! Wish I would have earlier, although I can afford it better now. I recommend talking to everyone you can about the subject, and figure out as best you can the things you expect to do. Then figure out the equipment you want to have to...

    Desert Tech SRS 7 WSM magazine question

    On the Desert Tech website in accessories they show long action magnum mags 338L and 300WM, separately they show 300NM 338NM and 7WSM mags. Then the short action 308 6.5cm mags. It appears they now have three sizes of SRS mags. I saw similar mag listing at Special Purpose Rifles website saying...

    Desert Tech SRS 7 WSM magazine question

    What is the cartridge overall length that will fit in the DTA SRS 7 WSM magazine? I am investigating my options for a magazine to fit the 6.5 PRC. I know SAC makes a good one with a 1 round extension out of SRS 308 mags. I have my own shop and can duplicate what they have done if necessary...
