This gives the rifle a relatively compact design, claimed to be 11 inches (280 mm) shorter than conventional sniper rifles. The Stealth Recon Scout is notably unusual in that it is one of the few sniper rifles that is a bullpup bolt-action layout. On March 1 2021, Desert Tech issued a product recall of SRS rifles made between Decemand March 5, due to a mistake in heat treatment during manufacture, resulting in strikers that could be destroyed upon firing. It is known for its bullpup design.Ī shorter variant of the SRS, called the SRS Covert, shares all the same features of the SRS, but uses shorter barrels and therefore a shorter handguard. The Desert Tech Stealth Recon Scout ( SRS) is a bolt-action sniper rifle developed by the Utah-based firearm manufacturer Desert Tech (formerly Desert Tactical Arms). 7-round detachable box magazine (.243 Winchester.6-round detachable box magazine (.300 Winchester).5-round detachable box magazine (.338 Lapua Magnum).Only real downside to me was that SA80 has tainted my view of bullpups forever.1737.36m (5,700feet) (.

Shown here for scale, an AW with 24” barrel, compared to 2 SRSs each with a 22” Barrel: The bullpup layout is really well balanced for sitting -way better than a normal rifle.ĭespite what you might assume - bolt manipulation was easy & fast & -crucially! – as mentioned earlier – they were extremely accurate –helped by really good triggers.

Everything – I mean everything –went sub 0.5 MOA from both rifles -including 3-shot rapid groups.įirst impressions of the rifles: I really liked them very well made and finished (I had half expected to find something prototype-ish) surprisingly heavy and robust very (infact surprisingly) ergonomic. Managed to give them a workout at 100m with RUAG 155 Factory, Lapua 167 Factory and my ‘standard’ 308 load launching 155 Scenars. Recently I had the opportunity to get hands-on with a couple of the first batch of Desert Arms Tactical “Stealth Recon Scout” (SRS) Rifles to reach UK.
