I went from 8 points in my first match with 308, to cleaning my first stage with 308 yesterday. I’m still waiting for the results today, but I might have won Tac yesterday.
308 really helps you practice wind calls. I can’t wait to spin my 6.5 barrel back on and hold left edge this weekend

All about that Sage Green lifestyle.
Man these AI’s just make a shooter look good. Never shot anything past 400yds until the other day. Put a 8” gong out at 700y. Cold bore impact with 130gr Berger factory load. Almost couldn’t believe it myself. 4.5-4.6mils has a couple low misses but I’m stoked. Need to stretch her out further....
Only thing about AI in general is that they aren’t mountain sheep rifles.
Yes they can do it but why hump 10 pounds more than you have to.
If you a walk 2 miles to a tree stand kind of hunter...Keep your 2 most favorite “other” rifles and buy a AX
With the ability to change cartridges you’ll soon find yourself buying barrels and trying different things, just because.
I guess I didn’t explain myself very well in my previous post. I’m wanting to turn a hunting rifle or two into an axmc which I will mostly shoot at steel or paper with the occasional hunt. I have hunting rifles for most all game except the really dangerous type.
The allure of the caliber changes, has won me over. I listed one of my rifles for trade a little while ago. Once I get an MC I’ll likely sell my AT to fund a TT or ZCO for the MC.
First post from new member/long time lurker. Just got my new AI AX308 with Zero Compromise 5x27 with Spuhr 6602 (6 mil cant). Want to first thank Mike at Mile High who hooked me up with the demo deal. Mike even mounted the scope in the Spuhr before shipping! I was originally going to buy a AT and then swap some scopes around for a while. Instead, I got a much more full featured rifle with scope and mount ready to go, and at a great discount.
I’d also like to thank all the SH members who have contributed to my education over the years. There were countless threads and posts that have led me to this moment. So thank you.
Much remains to be done on the rifle: I have to properly set up the scope and stock positions, tighten it all down, dismount and then mount a TBAC muzzle brake (have a date with a heat gun-the joys of red Loctite!) and Ultra 9. Have to purchase a bore guide so I can take proper care of my rifle and clean it. Then I get to shoot it!
Again, thanks to all

Yeah, Mike will get you as will Paul! All kidding aside first rate people at Mile High. Just count your blessings you don't live 10 minutes from them like I do, seriously expensive.
My first AI. Am I one of the cool kids yet?
I also took up Mile High on one of their demo AX package deals. 20" 308 in pale brown, ZCO 5-27 MPCT2, Spuhr 6602. Once I decide on a 6mm caliber, I'll be getting another barrel spun up.
New guy question, but will AW magazines function in these or will they only take AXSA mags?

I see no supressor or night vision so...........
Was laughing this afternoon with and quoting you to my wife; she’s ecstatic I live down south, well away from Mile High! She’s a good girl, a Latina from Panama, has an appreciation for us Gringos who like guns and gear.

A bit of match prep this morning with @Huskydriver
@kocustoms couldn't take take a minute from dealing guns to join... Man's devoted.

Shot the AXMC 338 Norma Magnum today. Used a box of factory Norma 300 PH to brake it in. First time using the Tangent, unbelievable optic. Has to be the best I've ever used. This was the last group of 3 I shot, after this I noticed the Forend worked it self loose. Mild recoil for a 338.
So I have to ask (and please excuse the new guy ignorance): what is that wire with a bulb at the end sticking up from the far side of your scope? I won’t even insult your intelligence with all the crazy theories I’ve come up with!

It's just the loose ends of his data card holder. He just hasn't flipped it into position yet and attached his data card
it's actually part of his divining rod so he can predict where his Freedom minerals are placed with accurate Interpretations. lol

Guidance for my bullets.
I just elect not to use it at matches cuz is so effective and stuff.

Very nice!
I also have the TT525P, very nice optic indeed! Did you get the Gen3 XR reticle?
What model ERA-TAC mount did you use?
Made a trip to EuroOptic yesterday and added a Pale Brown to the heard.
AXSA 6.5 x 47, added a apa brake. Slapped on the scope and shot it today with my son. Minimal recoil.

Couldn't resist the Demo AIAX from MH. Replaces the AT I just parted with.
Put that ASR to work these past few days at the Nightforce ELR Steel Challenge. Man, the talent that came out to shoot this match was unreal

I don’t have much. I tend to forget to take pics when I compete lol
Shooting an 1158y mover when average speeds is 30mph, with swings upwards of 40mph is uhm.... interesting
Hilltop was no joke. Guys recorded speeds of up to 60mph
You guys are making me thirsting to grab an AXMC in sage green. I'm going to save up and grab one at the end of the year, when they will probably start phasing them out.
It put him in first place among 200 extremely talented shooters. Pretty big deal.
Representing with an ASR no less.
The ASR did pretty damn well, I’d say...
NoLegs24, It's the Indian not the arrow, OH can I say that? 
Nightforce showed you on Instagram today also. Congrats and Nice Mrad!
HRD Gear AFAX09, it's great - very well made, solid.
