How are the Desert Tactical triggers ...since they are in a Bullpup config..wondering how the pull is? anyone want to share there accuracy results with this rifle in 308? Wonder if they can be as accurate as my GAP rifle
 
Re: desert tactical trigger

many posts have been made about the triggers and all I have read are positive. I can say I have owned many custom builds including GAP's and I seriously doubt you will notice much or any difference in accuracy with the SRS. The triggers are fully adjustable for both position and pull. They are crisp and clean. I like mine so much I have already purchased a second so I can have dedicated platforms.

I have fired the DTA in .308 and .338 with Lapua ammo and it gives nothing up to my GAP builds with either factory ammo or my tailored handloads.

...and yes, it can be run down on the light side of things.
 
Re: desert tactical trigger

I had one of the first 308's they released and really like the rifle, but I personally don't agree that the trigger gives nothing up to a traditional rifle. Just because of the way it is designed it HAS to have a certain amount of creep. There is also a lot of over-travel, something you probably aren't used to from traditional bolt-actions. Trigger weights will run from about 1-3#s. A good tuned Remington will feel noticeably crisper. My CG Jackson kicks it's ass, in single or two-stage configuration.

That said, the rifle is VERY accurate and it is stupid easy to drop down behind it and fire-off a 1/2MOA 5 rd group. Just keep in mind that the trigger IS different than a traditional bolt gun, if you buy the gun believing it's going to feel the same you are apt to be disappointed before you ever even take it out and see what it is capable of.

Yes, it's adjustable and yes, it's impressive for a bullpup. That was my number one concern having experienced some rather not-so-good triggers with other bullpup rifles, but the DTA gets it right. The trigger is not an issue in my opinion.
