Sounds good. If you need more than one to order let me know I’ll throw in. I believe someone in the Ai thread confirmed it worked with a folder too
Nice review. Doesn't sound like your gaining much over the AT-X, once you add the bridge, rail and hinge, except the improved bolt knob. Overall a solid rifle.
Yes, an AT-X with a bridge, rail, hinge and comp trigger has 90% of everything the AT-XC has. The bolt and action mostly make up the rest. A loaded out, lightly used 3rd Gen AT-X for $4500 or less would be a better value.
Oh well, you posted it, so you get the credit. The differences between the ATXC and the ATX are really negligible in my opinion. The extra cost isn’t worth it, especially if you can find an ATX on the previously owned market.
Apparently the older ones were better from day 1 than the post-pandemic "AT" marked actions put in the AT-X. Not sure if anyone has ever got to the bottom of this. Did they cut corners on some coatings or machining steps or something?
That bolt lift was so heavy on the barricade he was having a hard time talking
Pretty sure that had more to do with his “physique“ and general level of fitness than the bolt lift lol.
Looking at male bodies again I see.
Yeah, he’s a bit out of shape haha poor guy.That bolt lift was so heavy on the barricade he was having a hard time talking
Near the very end (~19:49 onwards) it was interesting to see that the guest PRS shooter (who shoots an AT-X) had quite a few hitches when closing the bolt on the host’s AT-XC.
He also stated the bolt lift didn’t feel any different than his AT-X at 20:45.
The host didn’t seem to have as many same hitch issues. Maybe the gun was more broken in and he filmed the sections out of sequence? Or to me it looked like the host was running it quite a bit harder than the PRS guy. The host did have a hitch at 17:20, however.
I will say that the AT-XC trigger does feel quite a bit better than that of my former AT-LE and my buddies 2nd Gen AT-X. As far as the bolt lift goes it doesn’t feel like it’s noticeably better but it is better.
I have a 23 AT. Before I sold my AX (‘21 bought new, didn’t track round count but low) I compared the bolt lift with the AT.
The AX’s bolt lift was slightly, but noticeably, lighter. I think it was a little easier to close too. At that point the AT was brand new, no rounds on it.
My point is it seems bolt lift is both a function of rounds shot (of course) and just some random juju (clearances?) that total the up right way. Edit: also maybe the lube used and where they put it.
Through the years, people report lots of different “feels.” Seems there’s a lot of variation out there, bolt lift-wise, even on the same older epoxied actions.

There is only one AI “feel” and that’s like a bank vault!
I have no clue who you are or why you seem to be a little obsessed with talking about homo stuff to me personally. It seems to me like all of the “gay” talk is projection, it’s ok little buddy, you can feel free to come out in this safe space.
Took the AT-XC out to 1000 this morning, easy button with the 6.5 Creedmoor but what a difference between a lot of factory Hornady 140 ELD-M's circa 2018 to the new/current (2024) lot fresh from the factory. Granted I shot three times as many from the new lot but man what a difference in ES and SD and the velocity was averaging a solid 40fps slower as well. I was dialing 9 mils of elevation at 1000 with the newer slower stuff and holding 1.6mils of wind for a steady 12-14mph crosswind.

Anyone go for a ATXC in 308? I gots me one from Wolverine up here in Canada
Received it today, slightly different than a US model, no top rail, colour coded hinge.
I swapped out the grip to a MDT Vertical Elite, that grip with an ever so slight rearward cant (1-2 degrees) made for a much better experience with the combination of the Sokek Solutions Thumb Rest. I'll continue to run it for the next few range trips and see what I think of it long term.
