So, am I just shipping you the rifle.. Or are you providing the plane ticket for myself and the AX50?
I have a better bipod on my AX50 then that body builder with the baby legs tied to his upper muscles half!
Probably needs to do a little leg work.

Finally picked up my first AI today. Nice well used green AT from Mile High. Sadly I can't find my 30mm rings so I can't mount my $250 SWFA 10x 
Already have a new barrel ordered, the NF 4-16x42 is coming off my DT for this, and a new bipod mount will be coming after vacation so I can run my Atlas instead of the Harris.

No target pics, not even a rifle pic!
What's the world coming to....
Congrats and Good luck with it

Ah so you bought this one
I was worried I was going to end up with a bidding war with a fellow hide member after someone commented about it on your WTB ad.

Finally got around to getting the secret sauce figured out for the 300 PRC. 230 A-Tips at 2900 are the real deal.
Video below is on an IPSC at 1280.
Yes I know, minus one point for recording in portrait mode, minus two more for short stroking the bolt like a dipshit.
Throw on some headphones. That valley echo is sexy.

MHSA sells laser cut foam for both the IM3300 and IM3200 storm cases from pelican.
3200 if you want to carry the gun around folded, 3300 if you want to keep the stock extended.
If you want to cut your own foam pretty much any hard double gun case longer than 44" interior will work.
Thanks, that may be the way to do it. Last time I tried to cut my own foam it didn't end up well.
AT-X AICS unveiled yesterday at Bisley
All features and options as the AT-X rifle but using the existing AICS mags.
Initial inlet for Rem700 SA footprint with others, including Tikka inlets planned for future. Also an option for a 3” shorter forend should you wish, say for a 22rf, the 4th image is a Bergara 22rf in place so you can see the reasoning.
Shot both the full 6.5CM AI AT-X and a Rem700 based AT-X chassis, the lowering of the action and barrel really makes a difference in how the rifle ‘reacts’ and feels. Very comfortable to shoot and the AI target trigger was excellent. AI’s in house barrel was non too shabby either

Even better: Amtrac. It's like flying first class, but you never leave the ground.
. But seriously, if you want to stretch them legs out, there are a few options, but all require a flight or drive (myself included).I'm not sure there are many options for a bipod that avoid the no-leg-dayz look. Could be wrong, but then again, I don't have a fiddy, though I lust after a 375 or 416. AI is the ultimate tease... gimme already!

Either that dude is a giant, or that's a 66% scale gun.
I still dont understand this whole mag thing. My current bolt gun, defiance action, will run both single stack and the double stack mags. Will the new AT-X only run the double stack mags or can i still run my single stack as well?
1280 is Childs play for a 300 prc.. you need to stretch it out
It's no different than today with the AX.
There will a complete gun called AT-X and a R700 Chassis called AT-X AICS.
You can still use single stack AICS magazines with the R700 chassis system. The complete gun with AI action takes double stacks.
No, That's Dave Wylde of Valkyrie rifles, no giant as such.
You sort of need to look at it that existing chassis as being a bit chunky, then the AT-X as a rifle designed to use just enough material where you need it. In its naked form it is comparatively light, you can then add weight inside the forend as well as outside to bring it up to the 'barricade bench rest' configuration.
It's natural balance point nude is just in front of the mag well. You cannot take weight out of a rifle, this allows you to add it if you so wish.
here's another image, the rifles about 3 foot in front of the people, you can see it is svelte

I heard from a black ops sniper those A-Tips die at 1281, so made sure to put the target at 1280 just to be safe.
Finally got some quality time out at TacPro with the AXMC today, spent 5hrs tearing up some steel with 308,6.5CM and 338LM.
Loving that blue, hopefully I'll have one in my hands next month...

This looks much better. I need to go grab some shorter bolts so I can ditch the AI's LOP spacers. Only downside to buying a trade in: you don't always get everything that should come with the rifle. Then again, you can also get some extras sometimes.
The DT actually feels great with the x24 on it!

Picked up an AI AE Mk l rebarreled in 260 Rem last month and really like it so far
A lot lighter than the MC, until I start adding sh!t to it....

Welcome to the .260 Master Race!
Was looking at Trijicon's new thermal Saturday down at SAT, incredible, but also $20K.
Got out to 2200 yards today!
I built a 6.5 Creedmoor load using a Berger 140 Target Hybrid pushing around 2800fps.
I had to hold 41 mils of elevation to get out here. With the Schmidt and Bender I maxed out my turret to 26 mils, and pulled the magnification back to 10x to get as many mil marks I could read while still seeing the target. I maxed out my windage with a left 6 mil hold. Target size was 36"x36". Took me around 10 rounds to get on target, but I was ultimately able to get around 4 hits on it through the day.
And of course picked up Steve Houghton's new book!

Hmm little concerned about the AIAT… did they just stop producing sage green folding stock sides and thumb hole stock adapter? I can never find them in stock!
Well I won 1st place in the non-pro payout this weekend.

Took the AW 308 beater out yesterday. 2003 dated receiver with 2003 dated barrel, started off life as a LEO/Agency rifle. Bought from MHS a few years ago, unknown round count on barrel. 18yr old rifle, used and abused with a old out dated NF F1 and it still hammers! Shoots BH 175 BTHP at 2620 with a SD 7.7. You all can keep the new stuff.

Personally of all the AI rifles the AW or AT with thumb hole stock are still my favorites
Nice rig!
Watch the px. They pop up from time to time. There’s was a sage green folding thumb hole stock a few weeks ago for sale. I’m sure it sold but you can search for it in case it didn’t
So I picked up a demo rifle (AI AT) from Mile High (yes the other one that was on gunbroker) and got it this past Thursday, got it sighted in on Friday at the NRL Hunter Defiance Match here in Montana and then shot the match with it this weekend. My first AI and I put it to the test right out of the gate. And for those wondering, yes, I actually managed to make weight for open heavy with it. 16lbs on the nose. The MDs and several competitors where impressed with it and even more impressed that it made weight.
For those wondering, my rifle setup:
AI AT in 6.5 CM with the factory 24in barrel
Leupold MK5HD 7-35 in ARC rings with no scope caps
The rifle came with an Arca rail on it, so I ran an Atlas Bipod on an Area 419 arca adapter.
The match was an absolute blast and I loved shooting the AT every second of it.

Glad both those AI AT's went to first time AI buyers... More AI guys to uphold the stereotype....
I made this meme for my son when he bought an AT. Busted his balls mercilessly.
Now I own an AXSR.
Pictures to come.

Welcome to the elitist club...soon you will be running a zco with a clip on telling people too go be poor somewhere else lol
Hello folks. I’m a newbie on this site but I wanted to share my recent happiness with you. Last weekend I popped out onto our long range at Stickledown, Bisley (UK) with my club for a shoot starting at 900 yards, falling back to 1,000 yards.
At 900, for a change, I did quite well despite dialling the wrong direction for windage (6MOA) on the first shot but I quickly realised my mistake and sorted it out. The first group of 9 scored me a shabby 43.4, but the second group of 10 shot at 900 yards made me very happy with a respectable 50.9. To date, that is the best score I have ever achieved at range and it did make me smile.
Moving back to 1,000 yards, all my luck was cast to the wind and the score was so shameful I refuse to share it.
I am looking forward to when I next get the chance to visit the States for some freedom time on your ranges.
Cheers.
