Desert Tech - anyone actually used one?

[andreweden]

Particularly the SRS.
Are they good or just like anything else?
There is a big part of me that sniggers like a kid at the idea of a .338LM that only avoids being a handgun in QLD by about 5mm, especially with a muzzle brake. Obnoxious, silly, unnecessary but potentially a whole lot of fun.

So who has used one? Was it fun or meh?

I don't own one, but I've heard.....

Personally, ever since I saw one blow up at little river, bit apprehensive about them. 99% sure it was some sort of reloading error but it did put me off a bit.

They sure do look mean though.

And no it wasn't an obstructed barrel or squib. It was the guys first shot and there was a hole in the target.

I own one in 6.5x47, truly a thing of beauty, it is a very special gun, and no I don't regret its price tag for a second

How is the bull pup config with the bolt action?
Do you have a muzzle brake?

I have a Barret M98B in 308 with a 16" barrel, so I'm used to being down the end of the line at the range with all my friends

I have a few of the DTA rifles, 2 HTI chassis with 3 conversions (375 416 & 50) along with a SRS in 308 & 338. No issues at all and they perform extremely well, I've killed game at 1248m with the 375 Cheytac, 450m with the 338 and a DTA 50 scored best group at 600 yards competition in Mildura comp before last.

Very tempted by the SRS covert in .338.

I'd love one.

Just not the credit card bill after

I was lucky, got a great deal from Magnum Sports, paid less than $6k.
Now having shot it, i'd pay full retail, and for Andrew, the bull pup config takes a few shots to get used to but now it is better than a standard rifle.
I'm never going back!!

Was that used price? New just the chassis is around $5K and then another $3K for the 338LM conversion kit.

I was looking to pick one up in 338LM

338LM PTA is calling my name I think....
