Looks like winners of the NASTI comp at Hat Creek were using ATX and possibly AXSR

That AT-X had to have had a custom firing pin spring to make the bolt lift lighter, with possible lapped lugs to make that action buttery smooth when cycled…
🥴🤨🤣

I put Hoppes No 9 Gun Grease on all six (6) lugs, bolt body, base of the handle where it makes contact with the action, and bottom of the firing pin shroud. Did this on my AT, AX, and ATX. All slick as shit. It lasts, depending on conditions, maybe 500-1000 rounds, before I clean and reapply. Zero issues with it gunking up any of the triggers.

I have a buddy, cough cough, @jwood1284, who doesn’t do this and it is noticeable between our two actions.

Hey now! I do lube my shit. I use Lucas gun oil on the bolt body, and tw25b grease on the cocking ramp.

So black versions are more accurate and have a lighter bolt lift? Maybe I should get a black one instead of a dark earth one.

Can confirm. Mine was blue, had it painted black. Went to bed with a Curtis and a 50lb bolt lift, woke up with an Impact and a 6oz bolt lift. Crazy shit.

Does anyone have an AT-X with a Proof CF 24” 6.5 or 20” 308 barrel? If so what’s the weight and how does it balance
Click to expand...
Gen 3 AT-X without any bridge or folder mechanism, with a proof 24" 6.5cm barrel with no muzzle device and with an empty mag inserted: 11lb 4.2oz

Balance point is front edge of mag well.

Would you guys still choose an ATX over the MPA PMR with the coup de grace action for competing? Not concerned about money, just wondering which rifle is going to reign supreme.

People win matches with both and neither is going to make anyone a better shooter or decide the outcome if the same person decided to shoot one or the other that day.

The advantage to the AI’s is the QC barrel and the double stack mags that run flawlessly. Other than that you can drop a custom in an ATX AICS and have a rifle that for all intents and purposes is functionally indifferent as far as a match rifle goes.

If you like AI’s or what one, buy one and run it and vise versa. There’s no right or wrong answer.

Definitely going to fall on shooter abilities there.

I went AI because I always wanted one. That was my sole reason for purchase.

would love to see a thin slip on neoprene rail cover that could be easily pulled like they make for picatinny rails

Precision Rifle Gear - Does anyone make a ARCA rail hand cover?

Does anyone make a cover for an ARCA rail to make it more comfortable to grip? If you have a rail on the bottom of the rifle it can be annoying to hold. I’m thinking something like the rubberized covers you can put on Pic rails that can be pulled off quickly if you want to use the rail but...

Hopefully someone makes one

Like you said ideas soft enough to slip on off from side

I put an factory 6.5 cm barrel that Preston sold me that had been cut down to 18". It hadn't been shot yet.

Rounds 41-50 put 10x rounds just over a 0.5" hole at 100yds. Velocity was 2647fps with an SD of 6!

Load was 41.8gr H4350, Fed Large Rifle Primer, Hornady Brass, 140ELDM.

Has anyone gotten any gen 3’s with 4 groove hawk hills? I’m just wondering if they even exist. I would much prefer a HH over a Bartlein.

I just picked up a new AT-X from my dealer last night. I’ll double check but it looks like a 4 groove. Feel free to hmu. I’ll be swapping it out this weekend for a proof carbon.

Curious as to why the preference for HH over the Bartlein.

Thanks. Not going to get into the why, it's not worth an arguement.

I did it; placed my order with Eurooptic when i saw 1000.00 off and taxes paid. Looking to order hinge and long forearm this weekend. 6cm. Havent been this excited on a rifle for years.

What is everyone using on magnification? I know it is a loaded question; i have a 4-16 milxt sitting here i am probably gonna start with it and see if i need more magnification at the property where i can shoot up to 1000

Depends what you want to do. If sticking with NF you can’t go wrong with the 7-35. Would be about a $1000 upgrade if you sold or traded your 4-16. For a paper puncher you can never go wrong with more magnification. Rarely do you need 4-8 power. But upper end of 25-40, although not necessarily used on full power, is nice to have when you want it

I don’t think you’ll be happy with the 4-16 for 1k. I’ve had several and they’re great gas gun or out to 500 yard hunting style optics. But the magnification left me wanting more for longer ranges

I wholeheartedly agree with you. Funny you mentioned gas guns, i use the 4-16 on gas guns, and my 223 proof rifle.

I will shop for a higher magnification i guess😂

What you want to spend is the question. Athlon Cronus, Burris XTRIII, NF 7-35, ZCO 527 or 840 etc

That 4-16 is a great optic and one of my favorite designs and reticles. It has a place but for a 1,000 yard precision rifle in my opinion isn’t it

I have been using the mil-xt reticle for a few years now so i feel comfortable. I do not mind zco with a t3 but likely will be sticking to an nf

Magnification doesn’t help when mirage kicks up.

I get along fine with a 420. Hit the 10x6 ipsc at 940 at a comp. also a wolf target at 12 or 1400.

Prolly wasn’t even at full power.

But yeah if I didn’t use it with clip ons / for hunting I’d be using a 527 for sure

I hit 600-700 with 16x staying around 12x with my gas gun very comfortably; and usually i am never on the higher end of the magnification, maybe 5-25? I don’t know

I own both the 7-35 atacr and ZCO 527. I think you’d be happy with either. That Mil XT is my favorite reticle

If you get a NF atacr just get the 7-35. The 5-25 is the worst glass of the atacr line. According to those who owned them both. I’ve owned all but the 5-25

Custom cerakote…Elite Moss.

The ATX has a rear attachment point from the factory on the stock. If you add the hinge, you get a second attachment point in the rear. For the front I use an anarchy outdoors keyslot QD sling adapter

It is here guys. Cant wait to scope it and go out. Unfortunately forecast is rain all week but i will go anyways! Waiting for the scope, that is tomorrow. In just a bit will install the front rail, then will post a pic of something you all already own😂

I found one of these in the wild

I need to go back and check it out again

It was the Smurf blue color and that really didn’t vibe with me

And do they all now come where you can’t access the barrel change Allen while it’s in the chassis?
