Bill,
Rifle, S&B 5-25, DTA 40MOA scope mount, Atlas Bipod, TAB sling, empty mag = 17.1 lbs in .338 Lapua on my bathroom scale. So I lost 2.4 lbs and 11.5" in length from my AWSM.

Re: Idea! Official DTA SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Th
Sounds Great.
Do you have a .338 suppressor?
Is the scope base steel or Aluminum?

I don't own a srs yet but it looks like maybe it would make prone shooting a little more comfortable having a little more contact area on your shoulder. Unfortunately I haven't been able to handle or shoot one. </div></div>
No idea if that was the design purpose, but the SRS shoots very comfortably. Fits well, the chassis is great. I'm a bit recoil sensitive at times, and putting a boxe of Lapua 250 Scenars was comfortable. Felt like I was just getting warmed up and then ran out of ammo.

I don't own a .338 can currently. I don't know on the scope base (aluminum maybe?). I was so excited when I got it, I just slapped it all together.

Newguy, is correct in his assumption, that's what Nick Young told me at the Cup when I asked about the butt plate.
Superde, you need a biathlon sling to carry that rifle, hiking will be a breeze.

Re: Idea! Official DTA SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Th
Buttplate extends above the stock line for low prone shooting, it keeps the rifle from sliding down your shoulder.

Re: Idea! Official DTA SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Th
Ok here's a question I have about the srs.
Can it run a long action standard boltface cartridge like a 30-06 for instance. The 308 mags have a plate that holds them to the front and limits oal to around 3" right?
So would you bend the feed lips on a 300wm magazine or can the plate be removed from the 308 mags?

They have the ability to manufacture multiple other calibers and those are all in development. I suspect that in the next 3-6 months it will all be available and marketed heavily. I just picked up my 2nd SRS last week and DAMN am i more impressed than ever. The fitted Storm cases and just the overall fit and finish is SPECTACULAR. There was a great article written in this months Tactical Weapons magazine.
I feel that with the new Covert, Hunter and HTI line of weapons coming to the market one by one over the next few months that DTA will truly be a force to be reckoned with for years to come.
Great job Nick!! Keep the cool Kit coming...

Re: Idea! Official DTA SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Th
I have a question to you experienced SRS owners. Is there an adjustment for overtravel on the trigger? The trigger is great except the overtravel is pretty long. In the book I didn't see that there is an adjustment for this.

Re: Idea! Official DTA SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Th
It has no over travel, I call and asked if there was some way to modify. It is one of the things I wish they had, its gave me problems for some time. I have had to modify my follow thru, for me tripping the trigger and stoping did not work, finally continuing to squeeze the trigger and watch that you maintain rear preasure on the pistol grip worked.

Re: Idea! Official DTA SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Th
We were out shooting the covert at 700 yards yesterday and rounds grouped as well as the full sized srs with 22" barrel. The covert is a lot funner than I thought it would be! The thing handles and feels a lot like an MP5 too, it feels weird shooting the thing off a bipod at 700 yards, can't help but smile.

Re: Idea! Official DTA SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Th
Dogtown, what do you want to accomplish with 50BMG that a normal 338LM won't do for you?
For otherwise SRS would seem a better (more versatile) choice.

Re: Idea! Official DTA SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Th
Just wanted to give out a little info if anybody was wondering about the Cor Bon subsonic .308 rounds. I had a chance to get out to my range this weekend and do a little bit of testing. If you are considering this ammunition, I would say that overall it is very nice. 185 grain secnar and lapua brass. I don't know what kind of powderer it is, but its definably not trail boss. The powered is very loose inside the case. I had good results concerning accuracy and with the DTA SRS and AAC cyclone it is insanely quiet. A good number to start with when re-zeroing or compensating for the subsonic load is 12" higher compared to your regular load (mine is 168gr FGMM). I was a little surprised that it was a 12" difference but "it is what it is" and this ammo is a blast to shoot. "Hollywood quiet."
Hope this info helps somebody.

Re: Idea! Official DTA SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Th
Noticed where someone said serial numbers started with 1000. Hell, just noticed I got number 1003. Just got back from the range this morning, this thing is a dream to shoot. For me, never owning a bolt action before this one, makes shooting one in an a5 configuration awkward. This rifle holds its own with anything at the range, period. Olny thing that would be better is find a range where the ammo is free ( and the targets dont shoot back).

Re: Idea! Official DTA SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Th
Ah SGJ, that seems to be the problem: when/where the ammo is free - the targets usually do try to repay the favor by shooting back at you!
But then - what's a few grams of inexpensive metals between friends?
Dogtown, did you try your 338LM SRS on distances beyond one mile? If so - how did it behave?

Re: Idea! Official DTA SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Th
Not yet, mouse, but soon. I needed 17.1 mils to get to a mile with my load. My guess is that I could reasonably get to 1900 yards but that's probably about the limit for the 250 Scenars. I'm going to try a load using N560 to push them a bit faster but honestly if I can't get to 2000 yards, I'm not too worried - that's when my future HTI can take over

Re: Idea! Official DTA SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Thread
AWC was quietest even though we were shooting .308 through a .338 can. Both the other suppressors were .308. POA and repeatability still belongs to the AWC

These rifles appeal to me in such a crazy way. I believe it to be my next purchase this year. I have talked with desert tactical arms about a few things and I was informed they now use mostly lother walther barrels over the krieger because he claimed they got 20% better accuracy. Just some neat info to pass along!

I have talked with desert tactical arms about a few things and I was informed they now use mostly lother walther barrels over the krieger because he claimed they got 20% better accuracy. Just some neat info to pass along!
Re: Idea! Official DTA SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Th
Well I finally got out and shot the DTA yesturday. After a by eye boresight I was Zero'd in 3 rounds. When I was ordering the rifle I was concerned about the non adjustable cheek rest. No bolt rifle without one has ever worked for me. When I got it and laid down behind it it seemed ok. When it came to actually shooting it, it was even better. On the deck at the range I was able to lay down and get a better NPA on this rifle than the AI it replaced.If I had to venture a guess why, it would be that the cheek rest area is thinner on the DTA than the adjustable pad on the AI allowing my big melon to get more behind the scope. The rifle its self shot great. I have the 30moa mount and had to pull the cap off the S&B and dial it back past the stop 4 mill to get on paper at 100. Im 5 clicks off the absolute bottom of the scope adjustment. Would it be better for my scope to zero for 300 and use a 1.5 mill hold under for 100 to keep the internals a little more off the bottom? Dont see much 100yd shooting in this rifles future. I tried playing with the trigger adjustments a bit. I turned down the adjustment for the trigger but it did not feel like it reduced it, only changed where it released. In other words from the factory it released at movement. After turning it down, it bacame more like a two stage with take up then release. Thinking about how I went about it, should I have turned it down and then adjusted all the creep out? I am very happy with the rifle!

Shane

Got mine (338 kit with OD chassis) ordered from Scottsdale Gun Club last week. Should arrive in a couple of days. due to my excitement, forgot to ask if the chassis had the updated monopod. Guess we'll see in a couple of days...

Doc,
You may want to find out now about the monopod because if it does not have the monopod and you wanted it, then your receiver will then have to be shipped back to DTA for the retrofit if you wait to see if it has it or not.
Thanks

That is a very nice gunshop. They have a lot of cool things. There are very few shops that have suppressors on hand to fondle.
