I’m in the same boat. My mind is set on a axsr in 300 prc. Since DE or ES is still in stock at MHS. The only thing is keeping me back is… 300 prc dies and brass are all back ordered or out of stock everywhere. Same with barrels. Now I’d like to get a 6.5 prc barrel for the axsr since the 300 prc or win mag bolt and magazine is compatible. But 6.5 prc barrels, dies, and brass are all back order or out of stock every where too. And it’s been like that for months now. But, I have a little patients. So I can wait till things get better, hopefully. And I do appreciate all the AI owners here for posting pictures of their setups and positive feedbacks. Thank you all..
So, what's the likelihood of two AXSA's showing up on Quantico Range 4, from two different shooters and in different calibers, with consecutive serial numbers? It happened today at R4 with my AXSA I bought last week and a shooting buddy who happened to show up on the range for the first time in over 2 years! I'm going to buy a lotto ticket tonight.
That RRS tripod is a beast.
My AXSA on the 1,000yd line.

That is such a nice range! My son is a agent for one of the alphabet companies and lives up near DC, he said that its about a 2 hour drive to Quantico. If I drive up to see him and bring my gear is it possible to join you one Sunday? Is there a club you have to join? I am prior service, but that was back in the 80's so nothing current.So, what's the likelihood of two AXSA's showing up on Quantico Range 4, from two different shooters and in different calibers, with consecutive serial numbers?

Nice setup!!
Yes, you could come out as my guest and shoot for the day for $10. We'd have to coordinate though to ensure I could get you on base and that the ranges would be available. For example, we have one more weekend available for ranges 1-4 then they are shut down through the first week of January for the annual lead remediation and berm mining. That will limit us to Ironman (450yds) and shotgun for the month of December.
Finally had a day out to the range to get the AI ready for a match this weekend and to get the Scar sighted in.
I wonder if the 20S will kill optics as well as the 17S.
Lol you know me I just like to troll
. I'm sure you would still outshoot me with a busted Leupold any way haha

Most definitely not my friend haha
I'm really thinking about it. It falls on my days off of work so it wouldn't be a problem. Seems like it would be fun tho
been open since friday morning and still have spots as of right now. You need to come shoot it David. Jeff and Alex will be shooting it as well.
Damn! The component/ammo shortage must be crucial. Last year, it sold out in no time. I'll look in to it for sure.
I’ll be shooting it along with @drwood96 and @jwood1284. @jwood1284 and I will be running AX’s like poors.
@BLKWLFK9 Altus succeeded from the PRS so it is going back to an outlaw style match. I am really looking forward to it and hope more venues do this.
Anyone have pictures of an axmc with a 18.5 or 20 cf barrel? Trying to decide which one to order.
yeah we all had alarms set to buy tickets the second it came up for sale. we are really looking forward to it. Especially since its now outlaw.
If I go I'll be rockin a non AO, AX as well... like a poor
Go ahead and hit up GCP and get that AO/VIf I go I'll be rockin a non AO, AX as well... like a poor
It’s worth it
I’ll be another poor shooting my AIAX in god’s color at Altus, should be a good time!

A quick range day to re-zero the 260 AI. Interesting that I went from a 0MOA LT845 QD mount, to the 0MOA Spuhr. I removed the scope from the mount, remounted it and leveled, then remounted to the AI. In all that, zero was only off by 1/10th low.
Open it. Worth every penny. Best gun I’ve ever owned and it’s not even close. Before I had used one I wondered if guys that said what I said were just wanting others to overpay to help them feel better and not feel so alone… nope. Best gun over owned and it’s not even close. And I’ve had a few
What makes the AI so great? Another way of phrasing my question is what do you tell people why you chose an AI over a less expensive custom build?
The worst part about owning an AI is the constant “my gun shoots just as well and was 50% the price” comments.
To the first question the answer is quality, feel and mechanical accuracy - at least with my DE AXMC.
To the second, no one on the Hide shoots groups larger than .5 MOA. If you don’t believe me, just ask them.
We have a name for guys like that around here. Mopar dudes.No it's not because at the end of the day, I have an AI, and they're poor
....buncha weirdos...
It’s specifically designed for using clip ons for predator hunting/target shooting. Uses glow sticks, and you can adjusted how much light you want on the turrets, or shut it completely off.
AI is so great, you will experience some random middle age guy sneaks 10ft behind you and taking pictures of you (or AI)
True story
Now, I know what you're thinking, training tool versus an aid / gimmick / crutch. Well, just wait until you get so old you're in your own PRS category, can't see that damn Spuhr bubble level and your equilibrium isn't what is used to be so you're vestibular sense is questionable. 
I'm giving the Send iT a test run on the .260 SA and may move it up to the AXMC when I reach out to a mile. Flame away...

Range days always start early at the Quantico Shooting Club, and Sunday is always a 1,000yd day! 0700 the gate opens to place targets, pits close at 0745, EMT arrives by 0800 for first shots. It was a brisk 26 degrees this morning, but clear and light winds. I placed 9 steel targets from 590yds out to 1,000yds and the .260 AI was performing well, but I wasn't. I need to get true velocities on the Prime and Hornady so I can true as I was .2mils off at 590yds and .6mils low at 1,000.

No Labradar?
0700?????!!! Woof
Hate to admit it, but yes, I have one, just didn't drag it out today.
No ranges for us until January (except Ironman @475yds) due to berm mining / lead remediation.
