    DTA SRS or AXMC ?

    I am planning my xmas present early. I'm torn between these 2 system. I like the DTA SRS shoot it before but not the AXMC . Any one have one of these? Any feed back, input? I appreciate it

    Own a DTA and LOVE it. I'll be buying a new model in the near future due to the newer rail style. The rifle is awesome, trigger is great, it's short and super accurate. Down side is the mags. There isn't a 10r mag for 308 class rounds, or a 223 conversion (it's being worked on currently but who knows).

      But I'd highly recommend that you go try both systems. I have AI's, Remington's and the DTA. All serve purposes. The DTA is king with 338 conversions. It's nice and short, can mount a silencer on it and be a lot shorter then a normal rifle.

        I love AIs; however, I am not a fan of the AX ugly sticks. I do not have an AI multichambering system, but I can say that the DT system is really easy and seamless. Ultimately, it depends on what cartridges you'd like to shoot and the easy of conversions. With the DT SRS, you can shoot almost every cartridge from 6mm to .338 Lapua since other chamberings will work with the available bolt faces and magazines. I do not know what is available on the AXMC. If you get a AI/AINA branded barrel, it'll be just about as good as you can get. However, there are a lot of aftermarket barrels that are pre-chambered, and I don't know if they share the same specifications. I prefer the AI triggers to a DT.

        Personally, I'd just get a dedicated .338LM from AI as those are fantastic. I'd forget about .300WM, it's just my opinion that it's a superfluous caliber as the .338 Lapua suffices for all needs that a .300WM provides over smaller cartridges.

        Then, for large rifles, I'd go with the DT HTI. That's a no brainer as it's the only multi-chambering system that'll work with large rifles. There is a bolt/mag available for what's compatible with the 505 Gibbs and the 50 BMG parent cases.

        The AI multi-chambering system seems more cumbersome and less accommodating than DT. I think AI makes better overall rifles, but I'd wait on their multi-chamber to get more info.

          Bottom line on this choice will be whether you take to the bullpup design or not. I liked my DTA, but ultimately I prefer a traditional bolt gun. I liked the compactness and balance of the DTA but I prefer the magazines on the AI. I also find it a bit easier to run the bolt from a left handed position on a traditional bolt gun compared to a bullpup. Lastly, the SRS has a nice trigger but I still find the trigger on the AI a bit cleaner, more crisp. As far as the caliber changing is concerned. Both systems are fairly easy to work with. From my own practical experience, I prefer to just have a second rifle in a different caliber. Too much hassle switching back and forth (I know cost is a consideration).

          It's a no lose choice. There a pros and cons for both systems.
