Desert Tech Covert: Shortest 7.62 Sniper Ever

By Eric R. Poole

As a writer at that time, I tried and tried to get an assignment to cover what I was purporting to be the most important introduction of that show.

Unfortunately, the entire publishing industry was slow to notice this small company. As an editor now, I have the latitude to cover firearms that appeal to a reader with specific interests and am able to make assignments based on what the readers are talking about. These days I am hearing more and more armed professionals talking about the SRS Covert.

MAKING THE CASE

The Covert shares the same fundamentals as the original SRS, but for the price of a complete DTA rifle system, members of the law enforcement community needed a rifle that better adapted to their tight environments if they were going to get the necessary funds approved to replace their aging long guns.

“The SRS did little in the way of LE sales,” says Nicholas Young, founder and president of Desert Tactical Arms. “The Covert has breached the LE sales market for us. The day we released it, multiple agencies bought it.”
