Yep, life ain't fair.
A1 chassis = $3395
A2 chassis = $2700
Conversions are the same cost for both.
Result:
Complete A1 rifle $4995
Complete A2 rifle $4300
Crystal!
I can confirm - I preordered a Covert chassis from SpecialPurposeRifles for $2,695.
The bolt of the A1 also has 36% more Friction than the new A2 bolt too.
It would've been funny if the new A2 chassis was 36% cheaper than the A1 chassis.

EuroOptic with some really nice prices on factory conversion kits and chassis. No would be a good time to get a new barrel, bolt, and mag.

Agreed. 6.5 CM kit is tempting.
My first 6.5 Creedmoor barrel for my DTA was a factory barrel. It was incredibly accurate and lasted me just over 2500 rounds, if I remember correctly. If I were looking at getting a complete kit, I wouldn't hesitate to pick one up.
Are the new A2 Chassis shipping yet? Any idea of the schedule?
I’m pretty sure the video said they would be available to ship after SHOT show.
Love mine. Cutting my barrel as we speak to 19 6.5 creedmoor
I'm also curious if barrels can still be swapped if m-lock attachments are installed.
Fairly disappointed in the "tripod mount" as well if indeed it is only a threaded hole. When I first heard of it I expected an integrated dovetail.

what scope are you running on the covert?
im considering the vortex amg, i was running the gen 2 razor on my srs but the scope alone is around 3lbs.
my concern is recoil on the covert, im not worried about the recoil on a 6.5, however if i step up to the 308 and above i'm wondering if i should put that top heavy gen 2 on it to tame recoil bounce a little.
You might want to consider a good brake instead. It will do far more for recoil than the weight difference between scopes.
My google skills are not producing and good results or its just me. I live in California and am in the 10day waiting period to pick up the SRS A1. I know I know....it sucks. Only 4 more years and Ill retire to a more friendly state. All of that aside, I have been looking at scope mounts for the SRS. I have a NF 5-25x56 ATACR to put on top of it, but wanted to know what to go with. I usually go with the NF stuff because they give us a pretty good deal. I currently run a 1.5" unimount (A357) on my AIAX with the 7-35x56 ATACR. I was thinking a good option with the SRS or should I try to go lower? Overall what height are guys using for a 56mm objective?
Thanks in advance and helping me in my 10 day hell.

Anyone else notice that their website says "left handed SRS-A2 covert also available". I'm right handed, so I really don't care if they ever produce a left handed version, but I'm pretty sure I heard them say there was no definitive future for a left handed A2. I'm sure its just an oversight, so don't get too excited leftists.

I caught that. With the A2 being cheaper than the A1s are selling for there’s not much reason to buy a A1 correct?
Depends what they are going to charge for the now separate monopod, and how important the weight savings are to you.
The tripod thing is lost on me, what am I missing? Wouldn't it have been easier to just have a short section of Arca in the hand guard? Maybe not easier, but preferred by most? There must be something I'm missing.

Euro Optics is running a really good deal on A1 Chassis. https://www.eurooptic.com/Desert-Tech-Closeouts-2019.aspx?homepage_link
You can buy an A1 with no Monopod for $2100 or wait for the A2 for $2700. Unless you were dead set on easily changing handguards, I'd take the A1 all day with the information that's out right now.

If I didn't already have the A1 I think it would be a tough call... The biggest potential pitfall I see against the A2 is the non-adjustable trigger. Taking away adjustment is almost never a good thing.
I would be surprised if the price on the mono-pod changes from it's current price of $365. They are mighty proud of it.
Just as I wouldn't be surprised if the left handed A2 was an over sight. Judging by little more than how rushed they must have been to add the new info to the website that they couldn't even use a simple spell checker.

I’ve had that damn A1 Covert chassis in my cart 3 times and havent been able to pull the trigger yet. I want, but I don’t need.
Anyone know when the A2s are going to ship? Or are we still too early.
I'm thinking about getting an A1 too in order to replace a Bighorn TL-2 but I'm struggling to pull the trigger.
I have an AT as well that'd I'd sell if I love the SRS A1 but I've only ever been able to handle the SRS but never shoot one.
I'd wind up selling the TL-2 immediately but I could wait on the AT for awhile.

You can't post stuff like this! My wife might see it and realize it's a "want" rather than the "need" I tell her every gun purchase is!
I just tell mine that if they are always locked up in the safe where it is dark, quiet all they will do is multiply. They procreate if you don’t spend too much time with them. So far she has bought on or simply appeases me in my passion
If you ever make it to the omaha area, you are welcome to come shoot mine.
The eurooptic deal surely won't last forever, but I have a feeling good deals on A1's won't be too hard to come by for a while.
There are several Desert Tech dealers that will need to move inventory as well in the coming weeks/months. Plus, I'm sure there will be at least a few current A1 owners that will be looking to move to the A2 and sell their old chassis. I certainly wouldn't rush to jump if you're not ready.

I called Eurooptic today and no love for the lefties. I’m looking for a 6.5CM barrel with left extension. The only thing they had was conversion kit and at full price.
Just coming up to speed. I see comments that you can buy covert hand guard to convert from SRS but if you start w/ covert can you buy longer hand guard?
Yep I noticed the same thing as tack. Lefties still have to buy the 3500$ complete 308 rifle then buy another conversion kit for the cartridge I wanted. Or have another barrel spun up. Wish they would do chassis only lefties.
I am running the DT mount, 30 MOA and the 40 MOA. Go that route
This has been fixed now, good catch.
I'm still trying to decide. I am just not sure if selling my TL-2 is a good idea.
I'm in the market for an A1. What do you think guys of these offers? Any hints on the vendor?
Still not decided on caliber, but the .338 looks very good priced, like Christmas is coming early this year!

I’ve decided to get the new 6.5CM A2 Covert.
How many mags do these come with? And what pouches do they fit in?

So who would have the best deal on the chassis? Euro Optic looks to charge tax now for some reason in my state :-(
You can thank the Supreme Court for that. It's not just Europtic. All e-commerce sales to Nebraska residents have to charge sales tax as of Nov 1 last year.
Well, that's BS
It's a topic for another thread I guess though.I was all set to order until I saw that but it put a damper on my joy. Back to thinking about how badly I need it.
I have noticed that MidwayUSA and Brownells do to (even though they hadn’t in the past). Must be a 2019 change.

Just FYI. Ordered a chassis and my tax was $66 and some change. Still better than in state purchase. Colorado.
