I've been researching a lot about this gun and wanted to know if anyone heard bad or good things about it. http://www.deserttac...le-chassis.html

It's cool bc you can switch calibers but mainly I want it for the .50 cal

I think Shane has one. My friend in Wyoming has one in .338LM, and enough land to make use of it. He's currently building a 1K yard range and an underground SHTF house. Here's his Desert Tactical...

 

 

Major investment.

 

Adios,

Well my friend got plenty property in pa r maryland, plus for myself I'm getting Acres in pa or nh

I've heard nothing but good about Desert Tactical... As long as you have access to enough distance to really make it worthwhile, Have fun. I was seriously looking at a ,338LM a couple of years back,...but the more i thought about it, I just don't have enough distance to make it worth having right now.

As I say you want to shoot it ou can always find a way to shoot it. There's always someone that knows someone who has room lol

I posted in your other thread but I'll add this to this one. I have found that at least for me the caliber switch idea is good on paper but...just doesnt seem to work out as well in the real world. For me I was trying to keep from buying 3k optics for multiples sticks. But in the end I found that that is simply what I prefer. Trying to remember your running different zero's for the same scope for each caliber was simply not worth it for me. In the end I found I wanted an optic for each barrel which defeated the purpose of going DTA. And again, I couldnt live with the triger. In fact a budy I had warned about the trigger just came to the same conclusion and is selling his entire kit that has a 308 and 338 conversion. If yor interested I can put you in touch.......

Pm on how much

I have one with 3 caliber conversions: 338 lapua mag, 308 win, and just got my 260 rem barrel today. I really like the system and the way it shoots. No problems with it whatsoever, easily less then 1 moa on paper with factory ammo. I have no issue switching out calibers and re-adjusting the scope. It takes less then 2 minutes to switch calibers. For me, the rifle fits me well and I think the trigger is real crisp and repeatable.

 

Its not a cheap setup. All the parts are DTA proprietary except the scope, rings, and bipod. I think there stuff is good but overpriced. Stuff like mags cost $100 and a muzzle brake will cost you $180.

 

 

Well, it looks like I will be joining the ranks of the DTA...again. Im betting I still wont get along to well with the trigger but.... I want a 338 again and an opportunity I couldnt pass up came along. The AIAW is again out the door Hava a hard time justifying it when my KAC is shooting identically, so if Im gonna have a bolt, its gonna be a magnum! Being able to train on the cheap is the new attraction for the SRS.

 

Bullseye, would love to hear how you make out with the .260. Love the caliber!

Aiaw is gone? I hardly got to know you. Good rockwood back dta

Dont worry Ill probably get another one LOL
