All of those that have a AX Chassis, lets see what you have done to it. Whether you left it stock, or painted it. Post some pics!

About 1/3 of the already existing AI picture thread is AICS chassis and not true AI rifles, so this thread is redundant.
Here’s mine. R700
It shot like an R700, felt like a R700 and definitely didn’t scratch the itch for the real thing
So I sold it and bought an AIAT.
Don’t be poors gentleman. Do yourselves a favor and get the real thing. Zero regrets ever. Get in the real AI pic thread. You won’t regret it
What I actually had
What I thought I had and didn’t need

Not if you’re going for an AX though which might be the choice for most.
I’ve got a few AICS 2.0s and an AI AT
And some spares….

Friends don’t let friends make believe they own AI’s
VSP968 you win. That is impressive collection
Here’s one I just finished for a buddy of mine. Converted an old AICS 1.5 to a 2.0….
I just wish I knew what half of these abbreviations mean. Y'all speak a different language around here!
Me, I'm just a simple M700 fan who will buy a decent scope and a different stock, but I'm not into having a rifle that costs more than my 15-year old car. All I want is MOA accuracy that I can see out to 400 yards, that's as far as our club range goes. My calibers are 22-250, 223 Wylde, 6mmBR, 6.5 Grendel, and 308. With a damaged right shoulder that will never get better, the 308 is my limit for recoil.
Essentially, I buy what I can afford and try to maximize the accuracy potential with good handloading techniques. I can't tell you what I've spent on reloading in the past 40 years, but it's probably enough for a nice house. I keep upgrading my equipment, always chasing the perfect load in each caliber, and never being satisfied. It's just a fucking quest. There is no end, no rainbow, no conclusion, and I'm okay with that. The journey is intriguing.

All you really need is an AIAT/AX/MC/SR/ZCO/RRS. Even a DT SRS in a 6CM or GT would be fun. Or just shoot a R700 and GBPSE
I dont have it anymore, but it was an awesome rifle!
My Mark 13 mod5-ish build. Definitly the only one of its kind in Sweden.
I mean I like the 1.5/2.0 chassis and dont hate a 700….
Zeroing this pig this morning.
I can go hot @ 0900.

Gos well with the real thing
Finished ish 3006 reage build. R700, tuned walker trigger, AI adjustable buttpad. Wears leupold mark4 bases and mk4 aluminum rings, nightforce 4.5-14 SHV scope. Weighs about 16lbs with sling and loaded.
Will the Badger Ordinance Maximized Recoil Lug work on a 700/AIAT Chassis combo? Or will it be too tall/need fitting?

It's too tall, when my barreled action had one it needed to be chopped down in order to keep from bottoming out. When I had the action rebarreled I had it replaced with a Badger M40A6 lug and it fit perfect with no mods.
