They updated their action after 10 years of production and running it in 3 different rifles. And rightfully so, they should update it to today's standards. Lighter, safer and "improved"? I expect nothing less. To charge 2K extra for that seems odd to me.
I enjoyed both the AT and the AX. Thought they were beautiful rifles, especially the AT with thumbhole, what a classic looking rifle that was! But that too needed updating. The AT-X however; I always felt that ergonomically better chassis' are available from both MDT and KRG that fit me considerably better in the grip area. I was hoping that the updated ATX would be improved as a whole with better ergo's, not just a modernized action tossed in an old chassis. Bummer!
Someone here mentioned a run of a unicorn rifle; Green thumbhole AT folder with or without updated action perhaps with a sleeker, lower and longer fore end. ....I'd take that without thinking twice. Where do I sign up?
Now I am looking on the PX for a cheap AT, since you all need money for this newest, coolest, overpriced AI marketing wonder

So it’s basically the same weight as the ATX, but with the extra accessories. If it made that weight with a better bag rider, then that would be pretty cool.
Link for bolt lift comparison to a atx.
Firing pin reset weight. Very similar.
Cock on close atxc is far smoother.
At least the cock on close is better. That ish is annoying on the ATX.
Awesome comparison. That’s how I did it on my AT and my 22 ATX I had. My ATX not as broken in was 12 lbs.
I have an AT-X with at least 1,000 rounds thru it. I played with the one AT-XC that was in stock at Euro Optic recently, I was actually very surprised to find very little perceivable difference in bolt lift between mine and the AT-XC I handled.
It's a very nice rifle, but I didn't feel much difference, even with the safety in "fire" position.
Just my experience with a sample size of 1 of each.
Edited for clarity

That video BigSky just posted is pretty thorough. Looks like the bolt lift is only about half a pound lighter, at roughly 8.5 lb versus 9 lb on the legacy AT-X.
Cock on close being much smoother has distinct advantages, as well as the slight weight savings.
The only thing tempting me right now is the LH variant...
Keep in mind his ATX had 7000 rounds through it vs a brand new XC
I measure like the pic shown below. Both my 2015 and 2014 AT are 9 lbs give or take
My ATX was noticeably worse. I say it was 12 lbs but that’s the highest my Lyman trigger gauge will read and it would max it out
Yea but that's on an action that has more rounds on it than 90% of guys will ever shoot through theirs. Well broken in to say the least.
Yes, they only had one in stock in the showroom. I felt vey little difference opening or closing the bolt between the AT-X and AT-XR, virtually indistinguishable
AT-XC is what I meant, sorry! EO had a red one in stock, I handled it for a while. It was nice, but I was surprised not to feel much if any difference dry firing and cycling the bolt between my AT-X and the new AT-XC
For shits and grins I just put my Wheeler gauge onto my AT-X, opening the bolt from a decocked position. The gauge was placed on the inner bottom side of the knob. Multiple samples ran approximately 7.25-7.5 lbs to open. For comparison, my rifle has only had about 1k rounds through it.
Well I have one en route thanks to @Raptorman2014. Hopefully I can find some time to get it to the range next week.
Cycled the bolt a few times on my AT-XC today at the shop and it feels good!! It doesn’t have that click you sometimes feel on the at-x when your about 3/4 closed. Bolt lift is a bit lighter but can’t say the lift on my at-x or ax was bad by any means.
All in all it’s a nice improvement over the at-x

For anyone looking for an AT-XC, OTB firearms has black 6CM’s in stock for $4550. That’s damn near $2K off retail.

They have 1 left it appears.
I’m just glad I find the rifle not very good looking AND that it’s not green or FDE lol whew
Quite the deal if the place is legit.

If it was sage green the link wouldn’t have even been posted because it would be mine.
They are very legit, they’re a huge retailer on the east coast of FL. Been there a couple times and they have some really nice shit.

OTB just cancelled my order on that ATXC and raised the price on their site back to MSRP... WTF.
So then why are they selling it for such a discount.
Edit: lmao. Someone getting their pee pee smacked
That’s fucking gay. Technically breach of contract if they won’t honor it though. Once you ordered it that was a sales contract.
Be nice if they did honor it, but they'll just direct you to the terms and conditions on the website...
It really wouldn’t surprise me if the other price was their cost.
I’m sure they will and they’re terms and conditions that would mean diddly squat to a judge.
It’s worth a phone call at the very least. It’s funny that they think they can change their mind on a sale, but if you change your mind they hit you with a 50% restocking fee.
a few years ago, I received a product notification from Europtic. I placed the order then they cancelled it along with a one line email about a glitch
When I see an outrageous deal, I call to buy just for this very reason.
I figure there’s a teeny weenie more of a chance it’ll slip through the system alarms (and past the boss). So they maybe won’t notice it until the item has shipped.

I almost bought me an AT-XC, just so I could flex on @TheBigCountry ...
...But then OTB just went full banana inhale and increased their pricing.

AT-XC 6.5 Creedmoor Hornady 140 ELD-M factory ammo. Final 5-shot group after initial setup and getting it on paper.
Nice piece of kit
I wonder why the Top rail and folder isn’t colour coded like the rifle was at SHOT 24?
Could be personal preference for the rail and it is my understanding that the hinge only comes commercially in one color, black.
I noticed that as well but no clue, it doesn't matter one bit to me personally.
I watched that last night, not bad.
