#SRS

Desert Tech has issued an immediate recall on  SRS rifles in regards to strikers made between December 8th and March 5th. The recall notice was published on March 1st and states that a mistake in the manufacturing process of their striker for the SRS rifle could cause strikers to break when used. The full recall notice is posted below.

The Firearm Blog would like to extend its thanks to reader and contributor Giorgio, who lent his journalistic services to us at this years IDEX conference in Abu Dhabi in February. Thanks, Giorgio!

I had the good fortune this week to be invited to a joint Remington and Trijicon Optics writers’ event. This event was held at the world famous Gunsite Academy in Paulden, Ar.

Last Fall, I was invited by Trijicon to their writer event at their training facility just south of the Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia. The morning session was mostly product presentation with a focus on the Trijicon ACOG family, the new battery powered reflex sights such as the RMR mini red-dot and the full size Trijicon SRS. We headed toward the range after a quick lunch.

Famous for their ACOG combat gunsights, Trijicon also makes a series of reflex sights for small arms. The first of those is the Trijicon Reflex with the dual-illumination and a 24mm objective lens. Next was the Trijicon TriPower with 30mm objective and the addition of battery power to the fiber optic and tritium illumination. Recently, a new larger 42mm objective lens model was added to the Trijicon Reflex line. While all three are robustly built, however, I am not enthusiastic about the dark green lens color or their illumination systems.

The Desert Tactical Arms SRS Covert Rifle was definitely one of the niftiest guns at SHOT Show. With a short 16″ barrel, chambered in 308 Win, .300 Win or .338 Lapua Magnum, this gun has an overall length of just 26″. It is tiny but powerful package.
