Accuracy International AT-XC

The thing driving up the price is the additional accessories you get included.

If you see the UK pricing for the Standard and Pro models, the Standard (basically like the "old" AT-X) is a similar price that the AT-X was, the hinge, bag rider and full rail are all pretty expensive add ons so the Pro model isn't badly priced.

It's definitely crazy that now the cheapest AI available in the USA is $6,500 but that's due to lack of a "cheap" option.
The bridge is $275, and the hinge is $262, that's $537. The ATX-C is $1288 more than the AT-X. That's $751 for a lighter bolt lift; I suppose it's worth it to the spandex-wearing PRS guys.

I got you fam

OP, you're skipping the $320 in extra pic bridge you need to make the NV setup operational ($170 front rail +$150 tall action rail). No Cap the bag rider is also nominaly, $85-100 MSRP. Call that ∆$400ish, on top of your $538 estmate, for a total ∆ of ±$950 (rounding slightly).

If you look at it thisway the v4 upgrade is almost free, at only ± $300+ some change. AND...If you really wanted to into #girlmath...you could say the V4 upgrade "is completly free", since the ∆ $300 is just a cost-of-living adjustment of 5% vs the last price hike.

See how much money I'm saving you...(y)

Is anyone else having hesitation with support hand placement on AT-XC? That gas port is right where I place my support hand on occasions🤔.

Honestly how often is this a thing really? I mean I could see @rustyinbend needing this feature with his reloading skills but he and @candyx can't lift the bolt on the AI so it's a moot point ....

Look at the bright side-you won't be clipping that finger nail ever again--
At the very least, you will think you died and went to heaven with the sound it makes!
 
I still wonder why they did this redesign. Unless they are hiding all the AX308's that are blowing apart.
Based on some comments that Scott has made in Shot Show interviews, it seems like they also largely did it to bring their short action receiver into alignment with their long action AXSR. Since at this point the SA has been the same for nearly a decade while the LA has been having progressive updates.

From a manufacturing standpoint it makes a lot of sense to make all of your products the same way with the same tooling, just modifying dimensions for SA vs LA.

There are a lot more differences between the short action and long action AI'S besides length.

Because it was perfect . . . until the skinny-jeans flat billed crew complained about how heavy the bolt lift was.* And now, you're going to have the equivalent of a 4-cylinder turbo replacing the bulletproof Toyota V6. The people complaining about the heavy bolt lift are the bolt-action world functional equivalent of Greta Thunberg forcing manufacturers to sacrifice unparalleled reliability for environmental sensibility.**



*I'm just joking.
**I'm still just joking.

But seriously....

Understood, there are differences in material thickness in strategic areas as well as some geometry changes to improve structural integrity to withstand the higher pressures. At the end of the day, the new SA is going to reflect the design of the LA AXSR in a smaller package.

If its a short throw bolt I'll be able to lift it, got a new shotgun today check it out .

I contacted Sporting Services UK.
They confirmed that the AT and AX have been discontinued.

They said their last order for ATs will be arriving mid this year, with no future orders in sight. Spare and accessories should still be available into the future.

They seem to have a pretty direct line to AI so sounds like nows the time to find an AX or AT if you really want one.
 
Did anyone else see this gem ? 😂
Just in case an outdated unreliable chronograph will convince you to pull the trigger on a $10k rifle …View attachment 8346031
I searched my email, and that promo is from Mile High lol. Must be a write off to get rid of existing Labradar stock. Although…not like the SR is a huge seller. Who knows? 🤷‍♂️

I understood from previous threads that the context was “Discontinued for civilian sales.”

Did Sporting Services UK happen to discuss this point?

I didn't ask and they didn't say specifically, other than spares and accessories will still be available.

There must be thousands of AW/AT/AXs in civilian/Mil/LEO hands that I can't see them dropping support for these older rifles anytime soon.

Being an AI you'd hope that they won't be prone to breaking every match, so I wouldn't be too worried about it.

I shoot field target comps in Europe and all shots are taken off hand unsupported.
Anybody know the app weight of an AX-XC without all the bells and whistels with a 24" rem varmint barrel?
Configured just like this LG400:

I think you want an older AI that had the stock shaped like the old 3P target rifles.
 
Thank you.

Lucky for me none of their new PRS-inspired designs are appealing, which is why I grabbed an AT before they go extinct to civilians.

I kinda think this was the plan. Let's make a "replacement" that cost a lot more and has features not everyone wants. Then "discontinue" our old model.

It's gotta be driving sales of the AT. I know I had very little desire to get one. It's always been a "someday I'll grab one" thought. Now I'm actually thinking I need one.

It’s a good way to get rid of the AT action inventory like how the Gen1-3 ATX helped reduce inventory to make room for the new ATXMC action.

I hope they have a close out sale on the AT. Picked up a AT-X gen3 a while back and I like it, but I don't shoot PRS so don't really benefit from most of the features. For instance I'd rather have replaceable plastic on the stock versus a full length metal arca that can be damaged easily.

It seems like prices on the AT were increased, so I wouldn't count on a sale. I would (and did) jump on one of the deals in the PX if you want to have one.

No, been there, done that.
I shoot better with a chassis rifle like the Walther LG400. Moving targets off hand is also in the equation.
That's why the new AI looks interesting. However, the weight in stock config is way too high.
Slimming down the new Anschutz is also an option. The Annie is much cheaper and has a better trigger.
