    Switch barrel rifles

    nothing, my spare barrel in .338lap lives in the safe next to my other guns. its not like its a delicate item like a scope that has glass and what have you, unless your planning to stoke a fire with it I cant see you damaging a barrel too easy.

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

    Id like to know that too but it would make sense that the HTI uses a larger barrel profile otherwise what would be the point of the HTI if its barrels fitted the SRS.

    Hi everyone, went to the range the other day and forgot the short throw/stop plug for the DTA in my safe and tho its not a mission ending issue it pissed me off so I designed a replacement, printed out a few and now have one in each of my range bags, case and gun bag so I will always have a...

    With the advent of carbon fibre barrels would you not be better off having a 300Norma carbon built? I find with the barrel out of my chassis the DTA dose not weigh all that much. Im a .308 guy and have thought about getting a carbon .308 built just so I can carry my dta about for hunting.

    Thats just BS! Im so sick of this "sensor anything that isn't PC and talks about guns" rubbish. Podbean at least has your back and will just use that. So disappointed in Apple and their far left draconian policies

    Advanced Marksmanship Dry firing

    I dont dry fire my rimfire's due to the firing pin potentially striking steel but modern centerfires shouldn't do any harm. It is one of those old wives tales from days gone by when metallurgy was not to the exacting standards of today. I do it to my rifle with out too much concern.

    Ok I have a bit of a weird one, I have a Nightforce NXS 5.5-22x56 mounted to my DTA SRS A1, Ive had the issue of the reticle being blurry when I close my left eye and look through the scope with my right eye (obviously im right handed) I have adjusted the eye piece until its crisp but if I hold...

    Awesome to see others enjoying my contribution! As a tool for a full time gunsmith I think it wouldn't last long but to keep in your range bag and get you out of a bind in the field it should work well! I did find another member close to me willing to help me out but for reasons I wont go in to...

    I redesigned the DTA tool and put it up on thingiverse, Added a 1/2" drive not 3/8", made it shorter and hopefully got rid of the issues the other file had. Any feedback would be grate. If anyone is interested in it the link is hear https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2813886

    Kestrel 5700 Ballistics Weather Meter question

    Thanks for the help, looking over the specs I see it can be upgraded and can hold 3 guns so it’s almost perfect for me, will cost me a little over $550aud which is half the price of the elite, if I feel I need it I will get the $300usd update :)

    Atlas Bipod Fakes

    Ive wanted an Atlas for so long and I just looked at what you guys in America are paying for an atlas and dam we are being gouged in Australia! even with exchange rate and crazy high postage cost its still some 25-40% cheaper to order from the states! $500aud is the reason I just gave up and...

    Kestrel 5700 Ballistics Weather Meter question

    Im in the market for a Kestrel (actually I need to buy some tools to offset my tax return, being a mechanic I can say its for testing airflow through radiator ;) )and see that next month a new model is going to start shipping, are the models with onboard ballistics worth the extra money...

    The Everyday Sniper Episode 13 Cleaning & Break In

    Im glad your debunking this barrel brake in bs, its a scam as far as im concerned. I remember a guy at the range telling me I pretty much ruined my DTA barrel because I didn't brake it in and I would regret it. As you point out yea maybe in years gone by that a barrel needed to be run in but...

    Hi Tyler, I will look into it when I get home from work, it’s the same file I fed into cura so it should have worked unless something went wrong when I uploaded it. Pm me with your email and I will send you the file and see if that helps. Can I ask what program your using to open it with. I made...

    Had a few people ask for the .stl file I made up for the 3d printed hand guard tool so ive put it up for you all to use, ive now seen the OEM tool and my rendition looks nothing like the original tool so there is no way breaching any intellectual property or anything like that. It is plastic...

    The other day inspired by listening to the podcast I pulled my DTA RSR A1 from the safe, I remember my last range trip ended with me firing maybe 20 shots before giving up, I was all over the place, I went from clover leafing at 100m during my previous visit to the range (im by no means a...

    Hello from Australia

    Thanks OzTRG, will do, im in Victoria so its good to know these kinds of clubs do exist, Taking a look I have a range some 15km up the road, membership is $225 but it beats the 160km round trip, tolls, fuel and entry fee to drive to the SSAA range on the other side of the city

    Hello from Australia

    Hi all, got into listening to the podcast too and from work and found it addictive then came the guilt of owning a precision rifle and in 3 years due to family and work commitments the realisation I’ve probably put less than 150 rounds through it! The podcast has got me thinking it’s time to...

    Downloaded the app and was a bit unsure at first, I didn't know all the info or my bullet speed so I guesstimated some of the info, filled in the rest with what I did know and went off to the range, now I'm no crack shot and only get my DTA out every now and again. first shot with no change to...
