AT-X by a slim margin.
For those who modded their AW mags with the Area 419 base plate, don’t bottom out the Allen screw. My screw slipped under the bottom edge of the mag during recoil. Definitely secure enough to prevent the above from happening and Loctite.

Got hair?

Mid 2019. I contacted Seekins about doing another run for a SH group buy and they weren’t interested.
Oh ok. Yeah, those are the same plates I was referring to that Core (now Altus) had as well. I’ve tried a WTB in the PX a few times over the years for them and no one has them or wants to sell them.
Who makes a 3D printed picatinny style bag rider that's not overpriced?
Does anybody that has an AT-X also have an AXSR? Wondering how they compare in terms of controls, stock, etc. Also weight as well. Basically trying to decide if I need another SR since it is my favorite rifle by far. This would be mainly small calibers so an AT-X might work if it is similar. I haven't been able to see one in person.
Not really close...
Axsr 2 position safety...atx 3
Atx short bolt throw...axsr long as F bolt throw
Stocks different....
Axsr higher bore height....

What height scope mounts would be best for the ATX with 56mm scopes. I have a spuhr 1.35” height mount now but wondering if I need a 1.5” with the lower scope rail and 200fps cant
Negative. But I do have a halo LR I may put on it from time to time. That’s why I’m thinking 1.5” mount may be better so my cheek weld is the same for both scopes. The Halo LR has a Bobro mount. Thinking about getting a Bobro monolithic 1.5” mount for the day scope as well so it’s easy to pop them on and off. Would be nice not having to use tools but I’m not sure how repeatable and reliably a QD mount would be on a precision rifle. I’ve heard both sides of the argument.
Well if you want both the clip on rail and action rail on the same plane you will need a high action rail first then you could probably run the 1.35 and be okay.
Don’t need a clip on rail. Will never mount anything above the barrel. Was just curious what most folks are using on these rifles. Anybody use a Bobro on an AI?
I think GDI was the most repeatable mount in tests. That test was before the Spuhr QD mount came out.
I would get a mount with nuts on the side like a Nightforce or Badger and just keep a t handle torque wrench with you. Or you can just keep a litte wrench with you and use witness marks on the nuts
Ideally I’d like to set up on a tripod for coyote hunting with a day scope and as it gets dark pop off the day scope and throw the thermal on. So being tool less is pretty important. Don’t mind getting the spuhr but figured I could save a couple hundred bucks. Also the GDI are overpriced IMO. Spuhr is borderline overpriced as well especially with the ARC mount out now

I did what you are doing for the years I ran dedicated thermals. You have to carry the halo in something. Pick one of the 3 and put it with the halo:
Quick detach is for the real or imagined operstor operating operationally that needs to ditch a failed optic and switch rapidly to irons.
On a precision rifle quick detach unnecessarily adds cost complicity zero
Issues etc
I think anyone running the long bridge is using 1.5” mounts. If you’re planning to run the short bridge or none at all then I think 1.35” would be fine.
Seen a lot of the Mil guys running Geissele and the new Badger mounts lately, but hard to go wrong with Spuhr or Hawkins too.

I have Hawkins mounts on most of my rifles. Very happy with them. Zero complaints.
I got into the QD stuff in my "timmy" days. A whole lotta nothing for problems. While I still put irons on my ARs, there is only one situation for a QD and that is if the optic is smashed and you can't see through it for you co-witness. (And becuase you are operator AF you cowitness lower 1/3 like a proper timmy). Precision rifle, too many days have been hosed by those damn QD mounts, even good ones.
I have never, ever had a need to actually "use" my QD stuff. Its a waste. Slow Speed, High Drag Mall Ninja Out. YMMV
And because I always need a toolkit, one sits in my bag, so I can attach or detach anything as needed. Throw in some fix it sticks/torque wrench, problem solved.
I have a 6mm BR barrel coming for my AT-X. Will standard AX magazines feed reliable or do I need a magazine kit for this cartridge?
I’m glad it works for you but I can’t get past the aesthetics of it. Just looks like it doesn’t belong. Not the most important thing, I know, but I wish AI put some effort into developing a “competition” style grip for it (vertical, thumb shelf, etc)
Ya be nice if it blended in better with the lines of the rifle but it checks all the box’s on fit and feel for me.
Glad they didn’t use a proprietary mounting style. Lot of good grips out there to use
I don't, I just seat the rounds forward to where the shoulder is along the magazine rib.
Any glamour shots of the short bridges with rails?
Thinking about ditching my long for a short when they come out
Neither Euro Optics or Mile High have long fore end bridges in elite sand listed for purchase. Is there any reason for that?

You will need a kit, this only works so long

Agreed. I went with this grip from MK machining. Another member here posted a pic and it flowed nicely. Now I just need a rifle….Ya be nice if it blended in better with the lines of the rifle but it checks all the box’s on fit and feel for me.

I have that grip and tried it. Overall I liked it but it felt a bit small for me. It was a definite improvement over the stock oneAgreed. I went with this grip from MK machining. Another member here posted a pic and it flowed nicely. Now I just need a rifle….
Looks fast! Similar to the new 911 GT3 color - Shark Blue. Any news on ES shipments to MH and EO? I don't want to bug MH anymore.
@Peter Laurvick ....look what showed up today!! Excited to have such an awesome rifle, I can't wait to shoot it.
Oh, and yes I had trouble sleeping last night, and will probably have trouble tonight as well. Did your FDE show up yet?

I’m so elite.
This is just mocked up. First impressions are solid. Definitely going to need the higher mount because the cheek support is way too low and super uncomfortable as-is.

I pick mine up around lunch tomorrow. Tracking puts it it town tonight. Already got Ammo prepped. I’m stoked
Received my FDE from Mile High.
Immediately swapped the barrel for a 6mm Creed, threw on the bridge, a pair of external weights TBAC Ultra 7 and scope.
Initial impressions is very good build quality, tight smooth fit and finish I was expecting. Handguard feels great in the hand, haven’t messed with the trigger other than dry fire, I may mess with it later just because but I’ll run it as is for a while. The balance is still just a touch farther back than I want on my full size Gamechanger so I’ll be ordering the internal channel weights to move the balance forward. Can’t wait to get it to the range, honestly disappointed that tomorrow is thanksgiving cause I won’t be able to shoot, but I’m thankful it’s here

Looks awesome man! I’m jealous. Called Euro today and they’ve still received zero Dark Earth models and no bridges for anyone who preordered.Received my FDE from Mile High.

Your pics will suffice for now. Keep em comin
Gotcha. Whoever I spoke with told me they don’t have any and don’t know when they are getting them. When I told them I preordered with them and I wanted to pay for a bridge so they’d ship together, he told me that wasn’t possible because they have none.
I think you have to call mile high.
I found a link on euro and backordered the fde bridge. Only took a week or 2 to show up
That’s interesting to know. Maybe I’ll just do the back order online and see what happens. This is such an odd process.
