I've got 17,000 rounds through my MDRX in .223 and almost 12k in .308. I've had 2 jams that I would blame on the rifle itself. Easily the most reliable and accurate bullpup I've ever owned. So much so that I sold almost $11k worth of other bullpups because I no longer use them.
I was looking forward to ordering an SRS. But when I went to order one, I was distracted. I bought a MDRXCOM in .308 on the wall. I also ordered the .223 Wylde barrel kit. And if that kit ever shows up. I would also buy the 6.5 Creedmoor kit. I do not like the .300 blackout, but would consider a .350 Legend kit. And this from a guy that prefers bolt action rifles. It would be nice if a 6.8 Western barrel kit gets made. But I do like the bullpup design. And have a bullpup shotgun, as some of my family also have bullpup shotguns. The bullpup is an excellent design.
Clearly biased and unfair. You must send me both rifles immediately so we can get 3rd party testing completed! Haha all joking aside, good shooting! I bet that MDR was a lot harder to run than the A2 at that range but you made it look easy. Keep it up guys!
Put a AR style dirt cover on the MDRS-SE and rethink the bolt so that it can 'be turned easier (faster procedure) to eject to the left port. If done? You will have the best Bullpup ever.
Are you planning to bring out an MDR 6.5 with side ejection like the 5.56 model? I love the features, but I can't get over forward ejection without chamber access
@@groeszs KISS - keep it simple & stupid With forward ejection you add more complexity and increase your failures to eject And you make brass checks impossible without removing the cover - you don't know if you've got a hot weapon or not
@@darthhelmet8532 My forward eject works perfectly, no failures at all. You can check the chamber by pulling the bolt back a little and peering into the square hole in the ejection chute, it is obvious if there is brass there or not, its not as easy to see as an AR, but the MDR is not an AR. If you have to physically check the chamber with your finger or chamber flag (like on a range or somewhere that someone else needs to verify quickly), you can pop the side panel off in less than a second, check chamber and then snap it back on. In a SHTF scenario, checking for an empty chamber is never needed, chamber that bad boy and throw lead. You can check chamber after the morgue has been notified. I feel the forward eject gives you a lot more advantages over the side eject. Still, it would be nice for some if the SE models were available in all calibers, I just don't see getting it for myself. I like the forward ejection.
@@groeszs Never seen a more accurate bullpup with these features, I have the SE because clearing rifles and putting chamber flags during a Match is not doable with the FE, ill be getting the FE in 6.5cm eventually for cool factor 😎😸 Love my MDRxSE 😸 I have a Jard trigger in mine, Its Amazing, On Par with some of my ARs in a Bullpup 😍
@@DefZen343 my jard trigger is fail 😥 but glad to hear it's working for you. It fires when it's not supposed to. Still working with Jard. I would REALLY like to try the MDRx trigger, but DT says "no upgraded trigger for you!"
I just ordered one of these MDRx 6.5 creedmoor firearms about a week ago from your website and it still says "processing." on my account. I've been billed for the firearm on my credit card but the website hasn't updated my order status. Is this normal?
That SRS is no joke! You can watch the round as it sails toward the target. The MDR has too much recoil to tell where the shots are going. What causes the SRS to have so much less recoil?
Steve the SRS is suppressed so the blast from the muzzle is greatly reduced. The camera shaking from the MDR is due to the muzzle break shaking the scope cam. The camera shot isn’t through the rifle being fired.
the SRS is heavier for one, but the suppressor also adds weight and slows the kick. its actually the muzzle blast from the compensator that's shaking the camera.
@@DesertTechUT Let me know if you need a donor rifle or Marine shooter to test with. I just bought a used MDR from a Green Beret friend and couldn’t be happier. Now it’s time to get all the barrels and test them out at some distance with suppressors. Great work on the future of firearms.
That’s great! I’m glad you guys are having a good time out at the range. I would be having a good time at the range as well if you would do your job and send me my gun! You shouldn’t be making promises on orders you can’t deliver on!

Thats what we love to hear!
Settle down on the ammo consumption there Rockefeller.!

*Desert Tech* awesome shooting, thank-you for taking the time to bring us along. God Bless.
That’s crazy how similar the groups are considering the different OSs
I paused and looked at the size of the groups. Didn't look like MDRX' group was any bigger than that of SRS. Nice shooting!
Same.
Those are very similar groupings

Nice.
Looks like MDR can be a DMR as well.
Beautiful Photography Desert Tech🙌
I would love to see a 6.8 MDRX considering it could be the military's new rilfe caliber
The military hasn’t selected the NGSW cartridge yet.
Here’s hoping True Velocity wins the contract.
Even a 6.8 Western barrel kit would be excellent!
So jealous one day I'll own a MDR 😭 thanks for the video
That bullets shockwave or what we ever its called is awesome
it is isn't it?
I believe the nerds call them an 'airborne ballistic shock wave front distortion'.

I don't understand all the hate for the FE. Without FE, isn't the MDR just like any other bullpup that could be had for less $$?

If you contact our sales department, they can get you the answer. Sales@deserttech.com
you ever get your gun? I'm in the same boat right now.
@@tmf7563 yeah. It took about 10 months.
Finally a gun person that listens to the same music as me . Guess theirs not a lot of gun, techno persons out their
The bolt gun is sick

Reshoot the MDR with the camera out of the blast?
for sure, Im thinking next time we'll just do a straight MDRX at 1000 with various ammo types, and suppressor to see how it does.

Is the m2 version available now
The M2 SRS? yes
Well done
it would be weird of they made a HTI Covert
Obviously srs will top the results.. can't beat a bolt action system in accuracy.
That’s great! I’m glad you guys are having a good time out at the range. I would be having a good time at the range as well if you would do your job and send me my gun! You shouldn’t be making promises on orders you can’t deliver on!
0:10 should be mm not cm, unless you're shootan naval guns!
CM is for Creedmoor.
