Yeah, it's terrible value. For an extra $500 you can get the full chassis. Or for an only an extra $8,900 you can get the stock attached to an AXSR.

So have the infamous bolt-over-round issues been resolved in the latest versions being delivered ?
I seriously want an AT-X but was scared off after the initial problems popped up. I'm seriously considering an Impact or TL3 in the AICS AT-X , but if these things are running smooth I'd rather go full factory.
Any thoughts?

It’s a simple mag adjustment that AI will do free of charge if you have an issue. I don’t own an ATX rifle, just the chassis, but have owned an AX for years. One of my AX mags had the issue. AI fixed the mag. It’s not an ATX issue, just a batch of mags. Buy the rifle, you won’t regret it.
I'd personally build off a high end custom action in atx chassis vs going full AI. You can save 1500$ building vs buying and at the end the day, have a much lighter/smoother operating action.
I have 6 mags and have had feed issues. 3 are setup for 6 Dasher with HRD spacers and 3 are without spacers. I wouldn't be scared off by the feed issues if you want the AI. If you get mags out of spec AI will fix them.
How long does it take you to properly assemble/disassemble the rifle once at destination?
Something you wait to assemble (then zero) at the match? or assemble in the hotel then put in fabric gun holder down to vehicle and show up to match rifle assembled ready to zero? And do you disassemble it at the end of the match too or do that at hotel?
Ive also been looking at the 1615air case and my idea was to just use [folded hinge + no scope + no barrel] chassis (~28.1") - put in 29.6" stated internal dimension of 1615air, was there some unforeseen fitment issue with this way or you just prefer the total takedown version?
Thanks
Ive come across the 223 bolt conversion for ATX being done by bugholes (I think?). Does bugholes (or whoever) also do a 6.5PRC bolt perchance?! MHSA selling some 6.5PRC barrels for ATX lol but no 6.5PRC bolts avail to my knowledge. Pretty sure @tomirwin said 6.5PRC ATX is essentially a pipe dream at this point (which sucks because that was a big selling point for me when I scooped mine up).
Please enlighten me.
Please enlighten me.
It's been on the horizon for years from AI. However
@trophyhunter will convert a bolt to magnum for you. I've been waiting to see some pop up back in stock to get one done.
223 & 6.5prc from AI were always pipe dreams
But I’ve been shooting both 223 & 300wsm in my AX for over 4yrs
But I’ve been shooting both 223 & 300wsm in my AX for over 4yrs
How well suited is 300wsm vs say a 7SAUM in the short action? I'm guessing you are limited to 190ish gr bullets?223 & 6.5prc from AI were always pipe dreams
But I’ve been shooting both 223 & 300wsm in my AX for over 4yrs
Now you’re asking personal questions.
The downfall to short magnums is the length restriction of the magazine. Just recently I ventured into a wildcat, 338/300wsm. I’m chunking 250’s at 2720 from a 22” barrel. But if I could stretch out that bullet, I could get some crazy speed. In the 300wsm I mostly shot factory for ease of shooting. The last ones I was amazed with was some deer thugs bullets that sent 180s at 3090, get this, from a 18” barrel. My 6.5prc was a repurposed 6.5creed barrel that had been shot out, it shot well, I don’t recall the speed. But it was close to advertised box.
But all the short magnums could be pushed up a bit if handloaded.
PS my second hinge shipped from Euro optic yesterday. I placed my order and paid 5/7/22.
Guess I'm getting closer, I ordered an paid for mine in October. No shipping notice...
Dang! I ordered mine 11/7/22.Guess I'm getting closer, I ordered an paid for mine in October. No shipping notice...
I am going to assume that the firing spring on the AT/AX series of rifles can be changed without issue.
So has anyone found a similar spring which has decreased poundage rate? I don't believe AI need to smooth out regarding lugs/ramps etc, just as a military rifle the firing spring must be at the upper limit and then some. This spring, as most will, drops in poundage reasonably quickly in first use, then will stabilise for the majority of its life.
As my life is not on the line, and it is merely a PRS toy for me, is there a alternative rate spring that is known.
Appreciate any feedback.
Cheers
Pete
Edit to add - Anyone actually know the poundage of the firing spring?

MHSA has had them in stock for a while. I simply called and had one within a few days of picking up my AT-X.Guess I'm getting closer, I ordered a paid for mine in October. No shipping notice...
Same here - purchased in August. Silly enough, I ended up with one from my buddy and forgot to cancel my order…might be useful if I build a vudoo 22lr in a ATX AICS though
Excuse me if it's a dumb question, but is the AT-X setup the same way as say the Barrett MRAD in which you can swap barrels in a matter of minutes?
Where did you order these from? would love to give them a try.
Yes. It has 1 bolt pinching the tennon threads. So makes for a quick change process.
Probably not the cheapest way to buy a magazine. But this is the hide. So
anyone know the difference between these two SKU's for the AT-X? Having a tough time finding what the difference is...
AI : AT-X : 29410ES-FI-65C-24 (https://www.milehighshooting.com/accuracy-international-at-x-6-5-creedmoor-24-elite-sand/)
AI : AT-X : 29824ES-FI-65C-24 (https://www.milehighshooting.com/ac...stable-comb-and-length-of-pull-elite-sand-24/)
AI : AT-X : 29410ES-FI-65C-24 (https://www.milehighshooting.com/accuracy-international-at-x-6-5-creedmoor-24-elite-sand/)
AI : AT-X : 29824ES-FI-65C-24 (https://www.milehighshooting.com/ac...stable-comb-and-length-of-pull-elite-sand-24/)
Top one is a gen2 with the lop and cheek adjusting with 2 Allen bolts. And the bottom is a gen3 with thumb wheels.
Old gen 1/2 Allen key adjust vs gen 3 quick adjust LOP and Comb.
Just got my AT-X and love it. Now to buy a 6 dasher barrel for it and get rid of the 6.5cm. Anyone cutting the Bartlien carbon barrels for the m27? I'm new to the AI world and need something for nrl hunter.
Fritz @ Black Canyon Customs or Greg @ SPR (Bugholes) will do AI barrels if you have a blank.

You have your right to your wrong opinion.
He has the experience with AI
And I’m a terrible shot
Hit a 600 yard 3” wide target with barrel at a match last weekend
Bugholes, Ts customs , SAC are also very good
