Accuracy International AT-X

[shoot4fun]

Maybe someone is inferring that the RPR and the AI AT-X are both "Factory" rifles?
Kinda like the 22LR matches that tell you what factory rifles are not really factory rifles in their eyes.

 

[Islas82]

So how many people are making the jump from X to XC?

 

[4O6shootist]

You sure as F should be able to run production class with an atx! Throw a tangent on there too! The talent pool is pretty damn deep at a national level two day match, the equipment you're running is NOT what's getting you a trophy or points. Alwine shoots a fn savag̃e for Christ sake!

 

[LeftyJason]

Yea I am reading it as "I'm rich bitch... with my gangster ass At-x, and rich enough that I am willing to say f*ck resale value and I am going to tag my rifle with "ruger" to relate to the poors... I think we are all on the same page lol. I am just not baller enough to intentionally deface my shit with Ruger. I mean dont get me wrong, I will draw a dick on anything... but I am not associating with a Ruger lol.

Ruining the resale value? Ha ha ha ha ha.

Take something anodized. Write on it with sharpie. It will be gone with either alcohol or acetone.

 

[blbennett1288]

I don’t get it?

Many people who have never seen an AI, think it is a Ruger RPR.

This has actually happened to me several times. I only wish I could see the look on my face when it occurs…

Something like this, I’d imagine.

I get that or is it an MRAD when shooting my MC

 

[PlinkIt]

The RPR label was what someone thought it was in a blind bolt running test....

Some of the comments towards that “Ruger-X”

Ha, funny. But not exactly what was going through my mind at the time. It was more like how the hell do you not know the difference. I'm sure I had a very confused look on my face. I have gotten the same "is that a Savage?" When I am shooting my TRG, SSG3000, & various Vudoo builds. I'm pretty sure a lot of people are not aware there are other firearms manufacturers than Remington and Savage.

 

[shoot4fun]

That particular rifle belongs to a Ruger employee. They are not allowed to shoot any other manufacturer's products.
The boss will never notice the difference!

[mr_fullmetal]

Went back about 20 ages but I’m half asleep. What’s the shortest barrel length I can go?

 

[Dr. Strangeglove]

20" and still have access to the wrench flats, but an 18" will fit if you don't mind it potentially being a pain to remove.

 

[hafejd30]

Here’s what an 18” looks like

Barely enough room for a suppressor… maybe?

 

[JR1200W3]

Barely enough room for a suppressor… maybe?

Ya, but you can also put the suppressor outside of the handguard. Like just in front of it on the threaded thingy

 

[hafejd30]

Barely enough room for a suppressor… maybe?

Plenty of room for a can. Sticks out probably 1.5”. A 16.5” would be cutting it very close

 

[BurtG]

18” plus loc tite TBAC NTB gives you a wrench point

 

[hafejd30]

18” plus loc tite TBAC NTB gives you a wrench point

This is what I would do as you loose the wrench flats with 18” or shorter as noted above

 

[mr_fullmetal]

so a 16.5” won’t clear the hand guard? I need to go at least 18” correct ?

 

[Tex68w]

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.

2018 manu lot

2024 manu lot

 

[gconnoyer]

Not sure how I never meandered over here. Had my ATX now for about a year and a half, coming from a 700 Clone was quite the change.
-Competition and coyotes with a 26" 6 Dasher from Hunts Long Range
-Deer and comps for fun with the shorty 6.5

I ordered mine with the 6.5 creed barrel with full intentions of cutting it down to 16". Immediately pulled the barrel and put the chassis in the bandsaw
Saw quite a few comments/questions about a 16" setup and you absolutely can do it.

Makes it look 10x better and more functional. No clue why they made the forend so damn long.

I think I like your bag rider better than the factory one I'm using. Mind sharing with me who made it? Thanks in advance.

Accessories - Pic-Mounted Bag Rider - AI AT-X

New Pic-Mounted Bag Rider - $40+Shipping This Bag Rider has been designed for the AI ATX Chassis, but is compatible with any picatinny based buttstock. If the length, angle, or bolt spacing is not a good fit for your chassis, let us know and we will custom design a bag rider for you. Website...

Its from Sokek Solutions. We worked on making it for the ATX so it dimensionally works and fits well.

Yeah, WAYYY better than the AI one and not fucking ugly lol

 

[diggler1833]

Much appreciated @IsaacL and @gconnoyer

 

[Tex68w]

Does the AI need the MDT AR15 style grip or the chassis grip?

 

[AF_TT]

Standard chassis.

 

[BurtG]

99 percent sure. A ar one works fine think that’s what I use

Holler if you’re ever out there.

I’ve only used the chassis version but either one should work.

[4O6shootist]

I've used the mdt chassis grip config on two at chassis and it works well. My experience so far anyway.

 

[Tex68w]

I ordered the chassis version. I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t supposed to get the AR version instead but it’s good to know that either option works.

 

[Huckmeat]

I'm waiting on my AT-XC, and thinking about immediatly having the foreend dimpled for R-LOCK plates and then cut down before more ceracoat. For those of you who cut down the forend, how much did you cut off? I can't see wanting it much longer than I can reach from behind the gun for adjusting bipods in field matches; It will never be way out at the end the way I use a rifle.

 

[BurtG]

It’s not already R lock dimpled ? Sheeit my RD15 came like that

I personally don't see the need for the dimpling but I can understand why some might. Black Canyon I've heard is the place to send for the front end chop job.

 

[Huckmeat]

I was going to do the dimpling while I'm exposing aluminum and doing cerakote anyway. Black Canyon is my go to smith for everything so that works out well!

 

[Tritiumdials]

I don't understand how the AT-X was out for over three years and they failed to update the AT-XC chassis with easy features like thumb rest provisions, R-Lock, and adjustable magazine latch.

How long have you been following AI and their updates and thought processes on what the user wants ?

They are HK lite
