What’s the general consensus for a 338 can? I presume tbac is at the top of the list.
Any others?

338Ultra gen2. Can’t imagine anything else.

Also, for anyone looking for a bag for their AXSR, I just posted a review

Precision Rifle Gear - Review: AIM FS-42 folding stock bag w/ AXSR

This is my review of the AIM FS-42 folding stock bag. Mine is green and the “reverse” model because my AXSR folds left. Purchased from Mile High last week so I obviously don’t have a lot of time with it. It will be mostly pics since there are so few on their site. My pre-sales impressions...

The pull is strong

Assuming these elite sand axsr’s are still 2023 models as to why they’re discontinued much. Hopefully the 2024 models DE and SG models drops by next year too. Fingers crossed. I have my eyes set on a SG AXSR..

Is 2023 a bad year ?

It’s the last year that color was offered. Discontinued last season SKU that’s all.

2023 was aite, I got two promotions.

Nah.. it was the last year of ES color and the first AI inflation attempt. Then those ES got stuck up on the shelves. Now they’re just pushing out the old models out. Probably could even get it lower coming January

How much were these suckers?

$972 shipped for the 3 from the UK. $100ish of that was shipping and customs fees.

I’d bet that I’m the only person/business in North America besides AINA that had any though as MHSA said they didn’t have any when I asked a few months ago and AINA won’t sell them.

I grabbed one. Really excited, and a great deal once you factor in the reward points.

While you’re at it, , EO has TT 7-35 price reductions. Pretty sure you can get it much lower than what’s advertised on their site if you call them.

Are these from Sporting Services? Or directly from AI UK?

I imagine they might since there are still AW's in service. Whether they're making them still and/or willing to sell them is a whole different question though.

Exactly. This is what pisses me off about AI. I have money and want to give it to them for a part but they either refuse to sell it or charge a stupid amount of money for it plus limit the supply.

I love AI rifles but I hate AI as a company.

If I had a bunch of extra cash around I would sell AI parts that Mile High won’t sell from a van parked next to their location.

I'm pretty sure Jacob has 200K+ rounds on his AW by now and it's still using the original lock ring as far as I know.

I wanted them more as a replacement part due to damage from an over pressure round.

I think you’d have to have an absolutely insane over pressure round to worry about that

I'd rather have it and not need it then need it and not have it. Having a $5K+ paperweight of a rifle due to not being able to get a replacement if needed (16+ weeks to get one) would piss me off. It's the same reason that I have 3 spare complete bolt assemblies.

Getting parts from AI is a nightmare and AINA wants you to send you rifle in for even the stupidest things that they don't need the rifle for and I have no interest in shipping my expensive rifle across the country for no reason.

I love AI rifles...I hate AI as a company.

I’ve had to send my AXSR in to AI, I had it back within two days of mailing it and they were very communicative about the whole thing. I’ve called them and Scott is the guy who answered the phone and gave very detailed answers to my questions.

Yes they aren’t great if you’re trying to buy individual pieces and want them immediately and the demand for their stuff is quite high. However, I have been above and beyond satisfied with my service experience with them.

I guess it may help that I have multiple AI’s so if I have to ship them a gun to look at, I just grab another one to go shoot or hunt things. YMMV.

You’re buying the most durable and I think best supported fleet rifle system. Remember, their primary client is someone who runs it as a system. kinda hard to act surprised when a system gets serviced like a system

MK20 · Dec 6, 2024

They reset my trigger to factory specs for free after the previous owner had messed with it. Free shipping label, too.

Firestarter123 · Dec 6, 2024

I got 3 brand new bolt assemblies with 1 that would work in a 2015 rifle but not a 2014 rifle without having horrible hang-ups during cycling. The bolts for either rifle would interchange with each other including bolt bodies, firing pin assemblies, or complete bolt assemblies. I'm sure it was a tolerance stacking issue so I asked AINA to simply swap out the bolt assembly that was having issues. They wanted me to ship the 2014 rifle with bolt bolts to them and wouldn't do anything beyond that.

Happily I bought the bolt assemblies from Euro Optic who were more than willing to just swap out the bolt assembly that was having issues with another one which worked perfectly. There was no reason that I should have to send a rifle that works perfectly fine back to AINA when it was an obvious issue with the spare bolt assembly. They could have just swapped it out but nope...not happening.

They also told me that they wouldn't sell lock rings as they're a "service item only" so I had to buy them from Sporting Services UK instead...again for no reason as AINA could have sold them to me but they didn't want to so instead I had to spend more time and many extra dollars to source them from the UK instead. A member on here said I'd never get the lock rings, however, I did despite having no help from AINA.

It is what it is. I'll continue to shoot my existing rifles and after my triggers get here I'm done buying spare parts, however, I won't be buying more of their products in the future. They've jumped their prices way too high in the last few years for me to be able to justify anyway given the shooting that I do nor do I care for their latest rifle designs in general.

Again, I like my rifles but I don't like the company (at least AINA) or their policies.

That's not fuddery, it's clearly AInime.

My experience has been very similar; and i don’t call places to gauge their service, i am a pretty dry person. If they told me to fuck off i would have probably fucked off and resolve the issue somewhere else. Time is too valuable to dwell on customer experience.
