If its anything like the atx, while you will see some early pre-orders filled by september, the bulk will not be shipped until mid-late 4th quarter.

I know I am pretty far down the list (72) for the version I preordered, I am not expecting to see it until next year.
Too bad that they didn't give you the year
lol, yeah this is my first AI. I was excited to not deal with the wait time of a custom rifle but I'm learning that may be I'm too optimistic on the timing.
At least you are not a southpaw! We wait forever and still get nada
This will be my first post on the forum :
I have been waiting for a LH version of the AT-X since the official release 3-4 years ago.
Well, I've got a few more grey hair but still no lefty AT-X in sight.
I'm starting to think that I'll probably look like him when I get one

Here’s an image of @Nik H searching for his LH AXMC 300 Bolt if you guys wanna hang out
What a curse...
Starting to understand why my grandma had been forced into "rightfulness" at school.
Our ancestors already knew about that
On the bright side I have been holding on my money for a while so I'll probably end up rich... or just get a nice custom built started this fall.
I'm guessing the previous AI owners never believed it for a second when they said we would see them in March!
Rightfulness is wrongfulness. Your brain suffers incontrovertible damage.What a curse...

I was trying tu use the plebs language to hide our almightiness. We must remain humble otherwise they will start to ask themselves why god gave use that privilege and next thing you know they will be roaming the streets with forks and torches
ATX-LE. Maybe getting close...
I hope it's offered in 6.5 CM too

Looks like you'll have to choice between 6.5CM and 308W in 4 different barrel lenghts.
Looks like we will have a more complete offer compared to the current version of the AT-X. Still waiting for a lefty version though.
Yeah that would be my preferred set up, I’m having carbon six make me a 22” barrel when mine comes.
I don’t think the mil version is available in the US if that’s where you’re at. Only models are what Euro and MH have listed
Makes sense. I do like the all FDE and a shorter barrel would have been cool, but I think the "C" versions have nicer triggers, right?
I was the first to order a red AT-XC in 6.5cm from Eurooptic and they shipped it yesterday. Should be able to pick it up this afternoon. I'll let you guys know my first impressions!
Have you handled the current ATX? One of the big questions has been the bolt lift with the new atxc vs the ATX
I don't have any time on an ATX but I am happy to make a video on the bolt lift as soon as I get it!

Unboxing video for you guys!
What's the bolt lift while cocking the firing pin? The bolt lift isn't an issue if the spring is already compressed.
I’m fairly certain the bolt lift appears to be the same. Don’t let the new car shine fool you.
I love me some AI… but they aren’t even marking them as a new model (AT-XC)? And how are they still not cutting the R-lock into the arca forend?
That's the next generation, coming fall of '25.
Pre-orders starting in December.

It seemed like there was initial confusion around the bolt lift of the AT-XC, with some ambiguous comments made by AI in promotional materials that could be inferred that bolt lift would be lighter.
I believe later it was confirmed that bolt lift was actually the same?
I can see why there's confusion around the bolt lift. It looks similar to previous gens of AIs, given how the rifle lifts up off the table with each cycle.
It doesn’t look like a custom for sure if that’s what people were expecting….??
I can tell 100% from your video the bolt lift IS IMPROVED just by watching you work the bolt
In that condition with no barrel/pull the trigger,
I could lift my ATX off the table without the bolt lifting. I measured it at 12 lbs with a trigger gauge
Based on the movement of your rifle I say it’s improved. Unless you’re gorilla clamping it with the other hand of course
Looks good to me. Nothing is as light as my Kelblys but my Terminus actions with their short lifts are notoriously heavy. I had a gen 3 atx.
These would be a dream rifle if they made interchangeable bolt heads…

So a can't call it a gen4 AT-X? J/K but I do think the bolt lift complaint is blown out of proportion. However, it would be nice to have access to lighter springs to change if wanted.
Not gorilla clamping anything. Just holding it and cycling the bolt.
I guess it depends on what you are used to.
I was really surprised at how heavy the lift is when I handled my friends AT-X last year. It felt 3-4x heavier than my Mausingfield I had right next to it.
But I guess if you are going into it under the assumption that it's going to be heavy, it's probably not very surprising.
AFAIK...the XC model is supposed to have ASR type vs Aw type internals to the bolt, as the latter are in the AT/AT-X and the former in the ASR, and thus were only available in long action. The whole point of the XC was to get the long and short action on the same underlying tech or generational upgrade path (or whatever). I have a hard time believing the serialized receiver and bolt are not marked XC, since they would need unique spare parts. The chassis being 'marked' at AT-X doesn't really mean anything, since there were no purported changes to the chassis, and its not a serialized part of the action etc.
(Somebody pls correct this sunnary if its not right.)
I was up sighting my new Manzanilla 6cm barrel for my Mousingfield as well with my AX308. My AT-X is heavier bolt lift then my Post-14 AX308, which might have a couple thousand rounds through it.
However ARC is a good example of using different firing pin springs to reduce bolt lift while still getting reliable ignition. Started with a 16lb spring then a couple people complain about light strikes, so ARC switched to a 21lb spring. People complained again about a heavy bolt lift, so ARC switched to a 19lb spring. However they sell all three weights on their website. So you can dial in what you want.
I understand this is not what AI is targeting.
The bolt lift is just caming the weight of the spring back in a certain degree if rotation. So a lighter spring will get a lighter bolt lift.

Just out of curiosity, when did you place your pre-order with Euro? With you being the first, it might give the rest of us some sort of timeline.
Are the lugs are different now on the bolt aren’t they so they aren’t backwards compatible with the AT, AX, and AT-X?
The bolt lugs have nothing to do with the cocking geometry, but with that changed the entire bolt assembly will be different. Whether you can buy an AT-XC bolt assembly and drop it in a previous rifle probably only AI knows at this point until someone has both and try’s it.
If somehow the bolt assembly is backwards compatible, I wouldn’t hold my breathe to get one. These rifles are likely to be backordered for a while and take all the parts allocation to get completed rifles out the door which will obviously take priority, and then who knows when or if they’d be sold as parts.
If you want the new bolt geometry I’d get on the list for a rifle, or wait for one to pop up on the EE after someone gets theirs and the CC statement hits. Otherwise you’ll just be another person on the internet complaining about part’s availability.
My ATX bolt lift doesn't particularly bother me, but for discussions sake; it is quite a bit heavier than my 2014 AT. And the video of the ATXC bolt looks much lighter than my ATX. No way I could manipulate the bolt holding the rifle the way he shows in the video.
I didn't think they did have anything to do with the cocking geometry. I just wondered if they were changed along with the cocking geometry as they looked a little different in the video posted earlier.
It doesn't really matter to me either way as I'm not their target audience for the AT-X/C rifles. I've never even seen any AI rifles in person except for my original AE MKIII and the AT's that I have now.
I'll be keeping my AT's until I die though.
Now that I have 2 2014 AT’s I can firmly say the bolt lift is much lighter in both than my ATX was. The new one is lighter than my current one. Which has 4k-5k rounds on it. So either they’re broken in or the AW/AT action had a change somewhere. Even my AXMC wasn’t bad.
Some say it’s not a big deal. I’m one of them because of what I use my AIs for. But if I was shooting off a barricade on a timer the bolt lift certainly matters. Less movement of the gun the better. Which is the case with almost any follow up shot
Given the ATX is designed around prs shooting it should definitely be a discussion point with these rifles

I really wish I could see one in person just to compare it to my AT’s, however, that’s only possible if I buy one and that’s not going to happen.
Maybe someday I’ll find another AI owner in central Nebraska

This. When you’re a podium placing shooter, the difference between 1st and 2nd can be fractions of a second. If that doesn’t apply to anyone reading this, then cool.
There’s nothing wrong with demanding better for a $5k+ rifle. We all paid the price and some of us many times. We have that right to speak about it.
