I learned this from a page about the DSR-1. Regarding the concerns working the bolt; the palm of the right hand should face your head and slap yourself under your eye.

I believe it should never crack, and if so, it would be easily replaced if you contacted service department at DTA. They have always stood behind their products in the past. NO reason they wouldn't replace a cracked stock that did what you said it did... so long as the crack was not from a sure sign of abuse. As for fitting the needs of an average hunter. The SRS far exceeds what any "average hunter" would need it for imo. This is a bullpup precision sniper rifle. NOT an "average hunter" rifle for some deer or elk hunter. The .338lm was built specifically AS a sniper caliber. What sort of needs in the 1k+ niche does an average hunter find himself needing a 1k+ gun other then a H.O.G.? I hunt elk, deer, antelope, javelina, etc. etc. etc... and have always found my 200 yard rifle sufficient for any spot and stalk hunting I've done. Furthermore... my .300WM has never let me down for elk and antelope beyond the 200 yard range where I simply don't feel like stalking closer to them. An 800 yard shot is very easy with .300WM, and comfortably done even on an elk hunt. So once again at the risk of redundancy... .338lm DTA SRS is quite more then enough gun that I'm sure the "average hunter" would or even COULD imagine needing such a precision type bullpup configuration sniper rifle for. It would just be all kinds of cool though to be seen in your camp toting one around though eh? I could just imagine some local hunter gazing upon one and what he would come up with for the thought of the day or what sort of things he would comment on lol!

Also the gun misfires 10% of the time......I like the gun but it was built very low quality Also when I bought this $4,500 gun they shipped it to me in a Garbage box Also the stock panels will shatter if you drop the gun more than five feet from the ground ..........I like the idea of a smaller snipper firearm, but it should meet the needs of an Average hunter This gun is very impresive in some ways but is like glass in most ways……When I shot my SRS 338LM the frame of the gun cracked the bolt gets stuck and the magazine gets jamed if i put 4-5 shells in it.

I put a few rounds through it in the seated position and I had no problem with cheekweld. Other than being unaccustomed to the position of the bolt, I had no trouble with it. Accuracy was exceptional; the Schmidt-Bender scope was phenomenal. Regards, Albert A Rasch Fellows,

I don't get it. How are you supposed to be able to work the bolt without taking the rifle off your sholder, especially when prone? That is when shooting as a righty, that is. Lefty, I can see how you'd work the bolt, but isn't that bolt handle rather close to the shooter - what'll happen during recoil? Nope. I do not understand this thing at all. Eh? I don’t get it.
