Yeah, but not in the typical since. I have a sand storm that I'll run on it from time to time.

You should do it.

I have a 16" 700 already so the data is pretty established.

168 AMAX TAP 2430ish

175 M118 2460ish

We are planning on putting a 3-12x56 Hensoldt on it.

Is it quick on/off?

Once I had the part number from KAC's site I did a little digging and found it for just a little under $700

Damn that's pricey.

Me too. I've just been sick with them lately. Ever since I cut down that PSS...

Been thinking about a shorty (18-20" or so) 300wm hunting rifle. Lightweight build.

Getting a bit to close to hunting season to be starting a project for that though...
 
Re: 16" AI AW

Yepper, that's the NV mount I was kind of looking for when posting my thread searching for an alt. to the Badger unit. Typical KAC prices though................ It is a bit more compact than the BO offering which is nice.

The rifle looks good though!

They are very similar. I dont know why he'd want to thread it the AI magnum break threading for a .308 incase he decides to use a suppressor, not many come with that thread pattern in .30cal, just sayin.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: LoneWolfUSMC</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Its an AWM brake. The Badger does not have the same shape clamp, and in deadly's pic you can see the hole to mount the AI backup sight. </div></div>
Lol shows how much I know about the brakes. Nathan, why did you guys go with the AIM threading? doesn't that limit what supressors you can use greatly?

Re: 16" AI AW

Plenty of suppressors in 18x1.5

I didn't hesitate to order mine in that size.

Worst case scenario if I want to use it on another rifle down the road- I thread that rifle in 18x1.5

This rifle ended up coming with the KAC mount. I dont have any problems with it.

I have the badger on my AE and it works great too.

Beautiful weapon you have there. Most people usually go to work to earn money...this job might take it back...and then some.

+1. Good luck resisting temptation, Deadly. You're a better man than I. That rig is SICK. Post some range reports with the Sandstorm. That's the can I'm planning on getting for my rig.

It's a new UK barrel cut to spec.
 
Re: 16" AI AW

Neat, I've been putting serious though in a short range .223Rem AICS 2.0 build with a barrel on 16" or below. Not planning on any muzzle brake though, makes it short short short.

This build of yours is inspirational.
