What grip is that?

Our distributors will be able to order AICS, for Remington 700, at the beginning of March. All are short action and we will start with the longer front end. Delivery will commence in July 2022.
There should be a new thread on AICS shortly.

Tom any specific dates to look out for? Just not wanting to miss the preorder.

Just sorting out the planning for machining right now. Had to make sure all of the second production AT-X components were nearly complete and then have to program CNC machines for the AICS in Remington 700 as well as the new rear end.
We will be advising our distributors and taking orders next week so you will be able to order after that and delivery is likely to be July 2022 for the first production run of 100.

Still awaiting the arrival of my AT-X, but I was able to get my full length bridge and a barrel spun up. The barrel is a heavy varmit contour and just messing with the pieces, it almost seems like i will not be able to run that barrel with the bridge. Anyone have some insight to the fitting of these two things?

I think I remember someone saying they tried to fit a straight 1.250" barrel on one...

Might have been @NoLegs24 maybe?

My memory sucks though so maybe I'm wrong

Chull post below was by Scott at Ai
With the bridge installed a barrel of 1.250" diameter will fit with clearance. That being said, you will find you don't need an 8+ lb barrel to balance the rifle and stay on target through the recoil cycle. The weight system is a much better approach to tuning the rifle.
The AT-X will ship with a 4 groove cut rifle barrel in 6.5 Creedmoor manufactured by AI in Portsmouth, UK.

Barrels supplied in the US are finished at WIN Tactical from contoured blanks supplied by Bartlein. We have been using Bartlein blanks for about 10 years in the U.S. and will continue to do so.

The interior diameter of the forend bridges is 1.300". The bridge will clear a 1.250" diameter barrel. As Jorge has noted, running a no taper 1.250" barrel may not be the best approach and we did not intend to design the rifle to such extremes. The channel weights, when installed, will also clear a 1.250" barrel. The AI barrel is 1.220" at the breach end and .950 at the muzzle. The weight of the finished 6.5 CM barrel at 24" is 5.8 lbs. So, it's very close to the "M24/M40" profile in finished weight.

I run heavy varmint and it works, you have to put the bridge on first, then install the barrel and it’s fine
 
So the AT-X high action rail quest continues. I first got PN 26612 (AT high action rail) before Scott posted his explanation. It is in fact the wrong part. As you can see in the first picture, it is close to lining up but not quite. This doesn’t make a difference with most clip ons, but some (like HISS-XLR) are pretty sensitive to it.

Then I ordered the correct part number, which is 29394. The height seems correct, however this rail doesn’t have the two shiny metal recoil lugs (or whatever they are called).This is confusing because both the original low AT-X rail and the high AT rail have them. So before I start hammering at these to see if they come out, does anyone know what the deal here is? Why the difference?

First pic is 26612, second pic is the original AT-X low rail side by side with the high AT-X rail.

INB4 "We at AI made the executive decision to leave the action rail recoil lugs out to extend the cost savings of the AT-X' $5250 competitive pricing to our customers"
