Re: Idea! Official DTA SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Th
Great idea, as I am not too far away from picking one of these up as well.
One question though for those with the .308 conversion. How far out does the barrell extend past the rail? Any reason to be concerned if a suppressor and rail would conflict with each other? (Specifically looking to run a Shark on it)
I also love this ammo. Usually shoot the 147 eldms, and I use bartlein barrel, but The DT barrels honestly seem to shoot the same in my experience.Obvious choice for accuracy would be the desert tech ammo because they guarantee it’ll shoot half inch.
For practice ammo I run Hornady American gunner 140gr bthp. For cheap bulk ammo (200 round cans) it’s great (shoots half inch groups for me) and I shoot it out to 800m weekly. There’s a recent thread about that ammo on here and pretty much everyone has good things to say about it.
I'm sure hes happy to get an answer almost a decade later lolPlenty of room for a thread on. On the covert.
Oh. I thought I was on last page. Must have been on first page lol. These multi hundred thread pages need their own sub forum to split this stuff upI'm sure hes happy to get an answer almost a decade later lol
What is everyone using to change barrels? Are you using the Desert Tech torque wrench or another brand

Acrteryx khard 60is anyone aware of a backpack style pack that will fully encompass a covert w/ 16.5 bbl w/ brake?
i've used the Borka kit for years. @kortik makes them. He's a great guy and obviously supports the Hide
I bought the Desert Tech maintenance kit at the same time I bought my chassis. It is a really nice kit. However, if I were shopping now I'd have to give a hard look at the Borka kit. I believe a new kit was released recently. Very nice stuff and as mentioned @kortik is good dude.

Thanks. I ordered a new and improved Borka Field Kit. It will work well with my bikes, too.Seekonk BT-2L
Where did u find it at that price? I’m looking for the 308 boltWhat's the lowest price place to buy a Desert tech 300 wm bolt? Lowest I've found so far is $280 but are currently out of stock.
Bergara or CZI'll ask the stupid question: which style fits the SRS bolt?
I changed the barrel kit it on my SRS A1 twice today and the second time I heard a squeaking or a clicking sound when the bolts were close to final torque. The barrel kit has been used but the chassis was brand new and not shot before. Is it something to worry about? It didn't make those sounds the first time I installed the barrel kit.
Badass. I have a Proof barrel in 300 PRC and absolutely love the cartridge. You’ll have a blast with this.

When did you place your order by chance? I ordered my 22 Creedmoor barrel around September 13th.
Yes and I really like it.View attachment 7164704

I'm thinking about getting my new barrel cerakoted. Have any of you found which flat dark earth color matches the DT skins well? I had no idea there were so many variations until I started to look.
I think the A1’s were pretty uniformly magpul FDE, but the A2’s have different shades of FDE between the coated metal and skins.
Which thread works on the SRSA1? If I remember correctly, they changed the bolt knob threading from the gen 1 to the A1
So, while you all were waiting on your rifle, did it seem to take years for it to arrive? I’m on day 11 and it feels like I ordered last century.
Well, I’m hoping they don’t have to manufacture my rifle before they send it to me.I ordered a CZ 457 VPT on March 5th....
My first Defiance took 10 months.
Hope you remember you ordered by the time they call.
Yeah. My scope is being manufactured by Minox and will be here in November.10 weeks and waiting. How about I trade you for your 11 days?
I have everything but the scope. 99% sure on what I’m getting just waiting until last minute incase a deal pops up in the classifieds and I can save myself some money you know.
I did try and post a pretty thorough Desert Tech resource list (everything from retailers, custom work and barrels, hard to find parts and tools, misc accessories, etc.) here yesterday, but maybe it violated a forum rule for postings?
