Ah, not applicable to the A2 then. The A2 trigger is pretty good by my feel though, so no complaints here.Here you goOfficial Desert Tech SRS, HTI, Covert, & MDR Thread

It made a hell of a difference in mine too!So I finally broke it down and did the Trigger job listed above. Holy smokes what a difference! View attachment 7092298
It took about an hour but I did take my time with a file. Pic for attention.
Just saw the advertisements for the A2 - what does "35% more accurate" mean? A1 was billed as a true return-to-zero on barrel swaps, now are they claiming 35% more return to zero?
They talk about it in the livestream/launch video they did. If memory serves, the improved accuracy claim comes from the way the A2 clamps the barrel. With the new cutouts, supposedly the A2 clamps the barrel much more evenly than the A1 did.Just saw the advertisements for the A2 - what does "35% more accurate" mean?

I just got my 6.5prc barrel in for my A2 and I got shipped an A1 bolt instead of an A2 bolt. The A1 bolt feels horrible in the A2. It’s tight and binds up a lot when it’s cycled. Are there any tips to smoothing up the channels inside the skins or any other tips?
How do you know you got an A1 bolt? Can you tell the difference?
I’m waiting for someone with both bolts to take them apart and show them side by side, and take some measurements. I read somewhere they made some slight changes to the internal components to make them slide a little easier, which helped the external surface of the bolt slide in the chassis. But the bolts would still be the same dimensions and have the same bolt head connections, therefore being backwards compatible with the A1, Gen2, and Gen 1 chassis.
Would you mind taking the A2 bolt apart and posting some pictures of where it’s fluted?
Where can I find a 300 Norma barrel for a Gen 2 A1, preferably a Proof Research? I’ve been trying to decide on whether I should get one or not and I’ve finally decided to get one.
I have been looking into a proof as well. Called and talked with proof about it. You can order a DT contour through any proof dealer. Special purpose rifles may have it in stock, try themWhere can I find a 300 Norma barrel for a Gen 2 A1, preferably a Proof Research?

Here is what my A2 bolt looks likeWould you mind taking the A2 bolt apart and posting some pictures of where it’s fluted?
the A2 bolt has the fluting in it and coating for better lube... the fluting attracts the dust so the bolt will run smooth
Bought it tonight. Thanks for the feedback.
Maybe @PRDRIVER ?
Just a chassis for now. I’ll be on the hunt for caliber conversions. I also picked up my scope, a Bushnell XRS II 4.5-30 Illuminated.
I would just get a Bartlein through SAC. Mark made one for me. Send him a 1 load and he chambers it for you I've sent maybe 10 or 20 rounds through mine. I'm getting 3160fps out of Nexus factory loads. It's so fast and accurate
Could not agree more. I have 5 barrels from Mark. All are hammers.
I’m considering selling my 6.5 SAUM conversion with the SAC modified magazine kit and going after a 33XC. Am I crazy?
No, especially if you have a place to stretch it out. I really debating on the 33xc before I ordered the saum. I would only get to stretch it out once or twice a year so I decided against it since I already had dies for the saum
Holy crap, that looks like a beast. Looks like like a mini 300 norma. Thanks for posting picture.
I am around 3030 fps with a 140 grain bullet and 26" barrel.
No pressure signs at that speed. I have a 30" barrel to try out to see how much I gain. Hoping to hit 3250-3300 with 130's
Sounds like a laser. My buddy is getting a 6.5 creedmore doing something similar...but hes pushing his loads to the limit. Are you pushing your loads to the point you're seeing signs of over-pressure or no?
I'm getting 3310 out of my 24" barrel using 130 pills
Does anyone have and use the 223 conversion from SAC? How accurate are they and any problems? I am looking at them as well.
Very interested to see your results with this. I just got a quote from them last week for a 300PRC conversion. They recommended a 1:8" twist for me(Bartlein blank). After reading the 300PRC thread it sounds like quite a few people are saying 1:8" is too fast. What twist did you go with?I will have a 300 PRC conversion kit coming in next week from SAC. This one utilizes a Proof Research barrel. Will post update with pics when it comes.
Hey guys who would have the best price on a 308 barrel for my SRS A1? looking at getting a barrel for practice shooting and not burn my 6.5 barrel out to quickly.
