Dude, according to 1 = none you have 0 AXMC’s and -2 AXSR’s!1 AXMC
0 AXSR...waiting for sage green in LH
My desert techs identify as axsr when I put the 300nm conversions in. And their shorter, have a better barrel retention/rtz system. Abd are more akirite

I really need to try out the 178gr ELDX. I've had Hit/Miss experiences with the 168gr Hornady TAP ELD Precision. Some days it shoots great, some days it shoots like M80 ball.
I'd go with you if I was still in the region. Sad face.Any of you rocky mountain region boys wanna rock your ai let's go suppressed only with suppressors provided if you don't have one...
Rifle Competition Events - Day Mountain Ranch Preston Idaho sep 7 2024 hunter match
Throwing this up here. I have no affiliation except I love the venue. Day Mountain Ranch Preston Idaho Hunter style match Sep 7th. They will let you shoot with any rifle over 16lbs you are just not in contention for trophies. Amazing venue and the location is one of the best I have shot...www.snipershide.com
You’re in luckI'd go with you if I was still in the region. Sad face.
I knew I was a poorDude, according to 1 = none you have 0 AXMC’s and -2 AXSR’s!
Just 5???Why you should own 5 ai's who cares about breach rings
I thought that was a savage for a second. Just weird seeing a non-AI here.Worst mag feeding ever... Savage feeds better
Fuckin Hornady 178 BTHP is trash in mine.For what it's worth, I have had horrible experiences with the 178 ELDx or BTHP (same bullet, different tip) in mine. Pressure signs very early.
If you want to buy a bunch of 178 BTHPs I'll sell them for a good deal. My AI must just hate them as my other rifles love them.
Whattayamean? @BurtG posts various fake AI’s every other day! lolI thought that was a savage for a second. Just weird seeing a non-AI here.
This is where I'm at. Can shoot tight all day long with FGMM 175gr, but then am all over the place with Hornady TAP ELD Precision 168gr.
Great range. Should be a great match
High red dots. Low red dots. Does that half inch make a difference ?

No honest question. Cause I have a Raptar rail on my comp gas gun and people were saying it would be too high on thar versus the low pro mount.Lol.
I wanted to make sure it could fit any scope profile and lazerrrrz so I don't have to use a dremel like I did on my Vortex scope and Reptilia Diving board
I submit it will come down to personal preference of how much chin weld you need when using the red dot with a higher chin weld being required if the optic is higher and said higher chin weld possibly effecting recoil management.No honest question. Cause I have a Raptar rail on my comp gas gun and people were saying it would be too high on thar versus the low pro mount.

I use accurate mags for both the 223 and wsm/saum conversionscan the WSM conversion use the AW mags, albeit with reduced capacity, or must new magazines be used?
This is my plan as well. The wsm will be a winter project as I’m so busy right now and will be until December. I still have to finish testing the 260 rem barrel and get loads for that.I use accurate mags for both the 223 and wsm/saum conversions
So, this is used for two purposes: close rapid engagements that just "have to hit" a man sized target, or more importantly and for our purposes, simply for rapid indexing of the target.High red dots. Low red dots. Does that half inch make a difference ?

My bolt is originally from trophyhunter and my barrel is from spr but yes it feeds fine from the 7rd. Haven’t tried smaller ones.This is my plan as well. The wsm will be a winter project as I’m so busy right now and will be until December. I still have to finish testing the 260 rem barrel and get loads for that.
Open the bolt face (black canyon), 300 WSM Barrel and the 7 round I think it is magazine and I’ll be good to go. Will it feed the wsm? Only time will tell but I’m willing to have a single shot wsm capable AI in short action if it comes to it. It will be shot primarily in 260 anyways. Also have my 18” 308 Bartlein in the safe should I decide to play with that later on as well.
I wanted the second AI to be more of the play/switch barrel setup. Where the other is always setup with the 20” 308 barrel. That’s the deer management setup and I prefer not to mess with it
I bought the AT first. Took a journey through the AXMC, ATX and back to another thumbhole AT. It’s my preference

Are you running the 223 conversion for your AI?I use accurate mags for both the 223 and wsm/saum conversions
Yes sirAre you running the 223 conversion for your AI?
Both of my conversions are not originally from him but my barrels are.
Someone(maybe even Greg) in this thread I believe said that they would not be doing them anymore due to bolt availability. Best to secure your own bolt if its something you want to do it seems
This Reptilia mount gets it below the elevation turret. Easy to check your POA

Who makes that forend bag rider for AI keyslot?
Question for those of you who have chopped barrels…
I’m thinking of either hacking down my AXSR’s 24” 308 barrel down to 14.5 or 16 -OR- buying a proof SS prefit 308 and having it cut to either 14.5 or 16.
If I do 14.5, I’ll obviously have to do the pin/weld of the brake…which I would want timed. I don’t want to send off the rifle so do you think a black marker indicating the timing for the smith would suffice?
Or do ya think that 16 is just better for the lack of hassle and ease of cleaning the crown?
And I’ll obviously 5axis dremel my forend down to let it fit.
Like 0 perf difference between a 14.5 and a 16......

Who did your profiling? I assume collarless?I chose to buy a proof prefit for my 6.5 and had it cut and profiled to 18" for an AEM5-30. The stock barrel was just too nice IMO to cut the length down and the proof was the right price. If you have expert voice or qualify Proof barrels for the AI are on there.
Personally I'd just go 16" so that you're not ending up with the timing being off a few degrees left / right and it driving you crazy....plus who knows you might change muzzle devices or want to salvage that one once your barrel is shot out.
I sent it off to Allegheny Arms and went collarless. I think turn around was 1...1.5 weeks? He did a phenomenal job and even cloned the proof serial and markings onto the barrel where it's covered by the can. Sorry about the crap picture....my phone kinda sucks and I pulled it off my instagram since the weather isn't great right nowPin and weld 14.5” is carbine stuff. I’d just stick with 16” or longer where maneuverability and vehicle egress aren’t primary concerns.
Who did your profiling? I assume collarless?
I’m gonna have to live vicariously through you until I can get a replacement
