I unfortunately had my SRS A1 stolen, had a Proof Carbon 300prc barrel and Kahles 624i scope. But I still have the factory 6.5 creedmoor barrel and a custom 22” 6 creedmoor barrel. If i get the A2 covert chassis are the A1 barrels interchangeable? That way i just need the chassis instead of another complete rifle.

ES Tactical has a 450 Bushmaster barrel ready to ship on their web page.Have an A1 DT with a heavy contour 6.5cm that I ride the bench with since it’s too heavy to hump around the woods. Figure it’s time I just dive into an A2 covert chassis for hunting. Looking to go as lightweight as possible. Thinking 16” proof carbon is 6.5cm (will be used for whitetail) for when I’m in rifle cartridge zones. It’ll be wearing a TBAC ULTRA 9
Anybody out there make big bore like 450 bushmaster or 458socom for DT SRS?View attachment 7475280
appreciate any bodies experience rocking a covert hunting and weight numbers.

Thanks fells appreciate it! Covert seems like the perfect handy little hunting rig to hike around. So long as I keep it light
Yours was much more helpful, though.Panhndl beat me to it
I was more curious about the 14 twist. Totally want it though.I have been eyeing up that 450 bushmaster barrel. Can you still use the standard short action pattern magazine and bolt?

This is my A2, scale reads 8lb 10.1oz. Its a 18" 300NM proof barrel with a flutted shank and a CA titanium brake and a 9 slot aluminum rail on the handgard. I don't see how you can get any lighter than this unless you remove the monopod. Hard to add less than 2lb to that number for an optic and mount that is durable and reliable.Have an A1 DT with a heavy contour 6.5cm that I ride the bench with since it’s too heavy to hump around the woods.

Just received my scope and mount this week and put them on, so I will start working with it in a couple weeks when hunting season is over.How does the 300 NM perform out of an 18 inch barrel.

FollowingWhere can you find the best deal on a A2 Covert chassis? I’m sure there aren’t any used ones out there.
euro optic is another good place to buy from.
Got to pop my cherry today with my SRS A1. I must say it is a completely different feel. It will take a little to get used to but I like the platform so far.
Last year SAC had a sale. I got my 223 conversion thenAnyone aware of any DT vendor black Friday sales? If so the timing might be perfect.
I am in the middle of removing my srs handguard for a covert handguard. Does any one have any tips or tricks to loosening the nut? Also, are the the thread left handed or right handed thread? Thanks.
Which SRS doe you have, A1 or A2? If A1 there is a specific wrench to remove that nut.
Lots of discussion about the weight and everyone seems to post what their complete rifle weighs. That’s helpful to the point where someone needs to hit a 16lb restriction.
Here’s my take:
A1 Covert Chassis + Skins, monopod removed: 4 lb 8 oz
Buttpad, no spacers: 7 oz
Buttpad spacer, each: 2.6 oz
A1 Bolt, “308”: 12.2 oz
A2 Bolt, “308”: 12.0 oz
SA 6 Rd Mag, empty: 6.5 oz
Monopod: 5.6 oz
RRS ARCA Plate: 6.2 oz
ARC M10 QD-L 30mm mount: 8.5 oz
260 Rem barrel, fluted barrel and tenon, 27”, .920 muzzle with Area 419 adapter: 5 lb 4 oz
300 Win Mag barrel, non fluted, 27”, .850 muzzle, Area 419 adapter, 5 lb 1 oz
6xc barrel, non fluted, 27”, .875 muzzle, Area 419 adapter, 5 lb 5 oz
308 barrel, non fluted, 17”, .890 muzzle, Area 419 adapter, 3 lb 8 oz
450 Bushmaster barrel, non fluted, 23”, .920 muzzle, Area 419 adapter, 4 lb 6 oz
260 Rem barrel, non fluted, 19”, .875 muzzle, Area 419 adapter, 4 lb 6 oz
Add up what you’ll need, pick your rings/mount, add your scope weight and total weight of ammo and you should be good.
The A2 chassis saves about a pound, so hopefully someone else can post the exact weight with the bolt, buttpad, magazine removed.
That’s the one!!! Thank you kindly!That was me - here’s the refresher on the SRS weight.
It is a SRS A1. I do have the the forearm coupler removal tool on it. I guess my vice doesnt have enough bite to hold the forearm tight. I think I will take it to a gunsmith. I dont want to damage it.

Lefty tighty righty loosey
SAC just quoted me $2640 for a black/black A2 Covert Chassis with a monopod...... that’s cheapest I’ve found!!Anyone aware of any DT vendor black Friday sales? If so the timing might be perfect.
I ordered a barrel the 1st week of August and have not heard from them.Speaking of backlogs, what are y’all’s lead times nowadays with ES-Tactical?
Never mind. Yikes.Hey guys, what’s the turnaround been on ES Tactical barrels?
happy thanksgiving
After about 4-500 rounds my ES Tactical 6.5 CM barrel is starting to settle in nicely. Last three groups I’ve shot with it.Never mind. Yikes.
I am just about to pull the trigger on a barrel from him, what time frame did you find out?Never mind. Yikes.
Maybe but I couldn’t get these types of groups initially. I don’t shoot groups much after sighting in the rifle but went to a long range shooting school and used their ammo. I needed to re-zero my rifle after and the 3 groups I posted are after 4-500 rounds of ammunition through the barrel. Maybe even 600 rounds. I have kept the records but not added anything up. Hence my comment of settling in after 4-500 rounds of ammo.^^ it doesn't take 4-500 rounds lol
Just saw the post above that said the buyer ordered one in early august and still hasn’t heard.I am just about to pull the trigger on a barrel from him, what time frame did you find out?
