New Shooter Dan Takes the SRS Covert Caribou Hunting
A couple of weeks ago, DTA offered me the opportunity to go caribou hunting in Alaska. While this would be an amazing opportunity for anyone, it was even more incredible for someone like me because…I’d never been hunting before.
Not for deer, elk, turkey, duck, rabbit—NOTHING.
Needless to say, it was an awesome experience. Learned a ton, saw some beautiful country, and met some great people….
Oh yeah and snagged a caribou!
I brought along my Desert Tactical Arms SRS Covert with the 18″ .338 LM conversion kit, and shot Desert Tactical Munitions 300 gr .338LM ammo.
Although the SRS Covert is slightly heavier than some hunting rifles, the compactness was awesome for travel, and the accuracy was excellent. I ended up getting a prone shot from the top of a rise shooting down, so the ability to quickly deploy the bipod also ended up being clutch. With it I was able to drop to the ground and instantly be in great shooting position.
Hunt of a lifetime!
