2021 Accuracy International Virtual SHOT Show coming soon!

Having now watched to the YouTube video, my take was that the AT-X was replacing both the AT and AX in short action.
I mean that's what he said at the 8:30 mark.
"This rifle is going to replace both the AX short action and the AT short action, uh, in 2021."

I thought it was interesting that they designed it to be a "debond, drop-in, and torque down" option for current AT and AXSA owners.

@lowlight can you confirm if the AT-X is indeed replacing the AT and AXSA (as said in the video) or will it be in addition to?
 
How long until these get out into the wild? Before I commit, I’d love to get behind one. I really like my Origin/Bravo rig and would hate to send it down the road for this and not like it.
 
Am I one of the few who really likes the AT as-is? I see where they are taking the new design, and it’s fantastic, but not something I’m interested in.

Glad I picked up an AT last year from MHSA!
Ditto.
I had an AX a couple years back and sold it (fine rifle, just not worth the price for me) and if I ever jumped back in, it'd be with an AT. This has zero appeal to me. Aesthetics are about dead last for me on a rifle, but for 5 grand, it'd better look better than this.
 
Will there be an LE model since the AT-LE is presumably going away?
From the podcast: AT LE is not going anywhere. LE models are on long-availabilty for institutional (LE) customers. AI and Frank just talked about it in the audio near the end. For consumer grade customers, now AT-X is the $5K base platform and you can throw another $1-2k in accessories at it if you want a gucci $7k rifle. You would do that with NV bridges, handguards, rails, top-rails, weight systems, and ASR back end etc.
