    DTA HTI vs Serbu 50A vs Barrett

    I'm sure there's a posting on this somewhere, but when I try to search the hide, I don't seem to get good results. So...the question I have for those of you that have laid hands on these guns or have a lot of experience in the area is...what are the pro's/con's for each? Below are my initial...

    Favorite Reloading Tool???

    Finished my first round of reloading today...and I've gotta say the RCBS 1500 ChargeMaster combo is AMAZING! Just couldn't stop thinking how effective it is at what it's for. Plug in the numbers for your reload, press a button, and it just keeps going with the loads. Take one load off, put...

    Best 338LM reload??

    Any thoughts on the best reload for my DTA SRS in 338? The plan is lapua brass, 300g lapua scenar bullets, and vihtavuori n570 powder (though I'm not sure of the actual load yet)? Also...any difference between the large rifle primers? I'm a newbee to reloading, so anything specific to the...

    Benelli M3

    Any thoughts on whehter the pump/auto action of the M3 is worthwhile or if the M4 would be a better tactical shotgun? I know the pump option is made for low recoil rounds like less-than-lethal, but seems like a good backup mechanism as well? Then again...those before and after the m3 didn't...

    20/50 vs 50bmg and 338LM

    Anyone thoughts on the 20/50 cartridge as a long range alternative to the 50 or 338? I have the latter and will likely have a 50 by end of year, but while I'm waiting, just looking around at other options that may or may not be better...

    Redding T-7 max

    For some reason I can't seem to find this...so can someone tell me what the largest cartridge you can reload with this press is? I'll be reloading 308 and 338 for now, but I'll likely have a 375, 408, 416, or 50 by EOY.

    DTA SRS Monopod

    Having a last minute thought on adding the factory installed monopod to my DTA SRS 338/308 rifle system. Anyone have thoughts on either recommending for or against this $350 add-on?

    Powder metering chamber

    Just bought a Redding T7 turret and looking for the next part of my reloading setup...powder measurement. I like the idea of using a metered setup, but looking for opinions on using that vs digital or other scales??? My primary focus will be reloading 338LM, but I'll reload 308 and .44 as...

    What's your effective range???

    Inspired by Fredo's 2700 yard attempts...I'd be curious to hear about everyone's outer limits of effective shooting. So, what distance can you guys shoot with consistency under 1MOA? Please provide details of the distance, rifle, scope, and ammo. And of course...if you have pics...

    Most collectable sniper rifle

    I'm itching to buy something and after seeing a 303 brit enfield sitting next to an antique sharps at the gun store I started thinking of perhaps getting something historic...yet shootable. Any thoughts?

    DSR-1 vs DTA SRS

    Let me start by saying I have a 308 and 338 DTA SRS on order. That said, I'm curious what refinements make the dsr-1 so much better than the DTA rifle? Clearly the latter is based on the former, but the DSR is touted as being sub .2MOA vs the .5MOA of the SRS. Is this just a matter of...

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce Love...

    Ok, just got my 5.5-22x56 NF scope and WOW! I mean at first I kept asking why anyone would pay so much for a scope...and now I'm thinking that my gun may be an accessory to my beautiful NF vs the other way around. Such a bute that I thought about getting a display case and putting it on the...

    Suppressors HK MK 23 SOCOM

    Had one of these in my hands for the first time today. Perhaps not as ergonomic as my p226, but defintely feels good. The only thing that bothered me was the ergonomics of the safety. Anyone here own one of these that can provide feedback on whether or not you'd recommend it? I'd be selling...

    Suppressors Desert Eagle 44 Mag

    Any thoughts on an optic for the DE44? I shot mine for the 2nd time in 15 years today and well...I had a hard time hitting the target with open sights. Mind you, it would have been easier if the 7 and 15 yard ranges weren't full and I didn't have to start on the 25. Anyway...any experienced...

    Austin TX range

    Anyone know of a good shooting range around Austin, TX that goes beyond the 300yards of Eagle Peak? I'd love to find a 1000+ yard range, but not sure that exists around here.

    Desert Tactical HTI

    Any opinions on this setup? My SRS 338+308 is on order and I'm already thinking of the 50 BMG HTI when it comes out in Q4/10. I've heard a lot of good things about the 375 as well, but I think I want to start on the other end. Then again...I like the other cals as well (408/416). It's a good...

    F2000 vs Kel-tec RFB

    Any thoughts on these two. Both seem like great CQB rifles with very similar forward ejection designs...though KT is much cheaper. I've always thought of Kel-Tec as a cheap brand, but it looks like a solid rifle. Not sure about 7.62 for this type of rifle though as it seems like you'd want a...

    Range Report Best 338 lapua ammo

    Anyone with a Desert Tactical SRS have an opinion on the best ammo brand/etc for 338LM rounds? I'm sure reloading would be best, but I'm going to need to start with a few factory load boxes of ammo.

    The perfect collection

    Ok, I've seen similar posts on "top 10", etc...but I'm just getting back into guns after a 10 year hiatus and want to know your thoughts on the following if you were picking factory rifles and not custom: Best extreme rifle (ie: 375, 416, 50, etc): The DTA HTI is coming out late this year...

    HK 91 A3

    I'm thinking of trading my HK91 in to get a good scope for my DTA SRS. Right now I have an offer that equates to ~$2000 including the tax benefit. I know I've seen good pre-ban 91/A3's listed for 2200-2900...so it seems reasonable considering I don't want to spend months trying to sell and...
