You should take pictures of nude women. If I had your talent, that is what I would be photographing
Thanks man. This is just quick stuff with my phone. My parents were professional photographers. And when I was younger I borrowed one of my dads older cameras and got into it due to my car hobby. Actually had stuff published in calendars and was hired by companies and websites for stuff. But mostly was cars with half nude women. Haha. But I ended up stopping due to my ex wife
 
Been stupid busy with life, but finally got out my new to me AIAT a few weeks back.

Not gonna lie, wasn’t sure what all the hype was about while I was dialing the scope in. Then started pulling sub MOA groups without trying and understood what all the hype was about lol.

Took a picture of the AXMC in "the wild" today. Comparing hornady match and berger factory ammo out to 1000y (can't handhold in our current living situation so im stuck with factory ammo). The Berger 144g 6.5cm was averaging 2858 with an SD of 5.8 over 60 rounds. At that speed the Berger took 0.5 mils less elevation than the 140g hornady eld-m @ 1000y. Felt good to got 76/80 at 1000y with a 1-11mph wind from the 8 o'clock direction. Still can't decide which PU bag i like more. Both the ELR and the 3d elr work fantastically.

How about this one.. I picked this up out of a few that were sold and it struck me as "different" which is why I grabbed it. The cheekpiece has a single button and is spring loaded VS 2 allen head screws (or knobs if upgraded). The rear also has a button for adjustment and not a allen wrench. It has the buttspike and a single port break.

It is a 2006 AW in 308. Mounted a real hog on top of it so I can see what she will do.

An update on ELR with the AXSR....

The 33xc is working great on the AXSR platform. I settled on a fairly mild load of 123 grains of H50BMG with the 300 Berger's. Velocity is right at 3150 and recoil is very mild with the TBAC 338 ultra. I shot a 1/2 moa 5-shot group at 1000 yards yesterday at 5.1 mils of elevation. I'll be back out in Kansas in a couple weeks to stretch it out to 2 miles, so I'll report back then.

That's a slick setup man! Does the bolt catch on the mag follower on the SR's? You just popping the head down in the mag when single feeding? Kicking around chambering a 338AI for my MC, what barrel did you use, 1.350 straight?

I put a chamfer on the follower so it doesn't lock anymore. The barrel is 1.35" dia. for 8" then straight tapered to about 1.1" dia. at 32".

Awesome, thanks man! I don't know why i never thought to file the back edge of the follower, I just took it for granted i was going to almost get my finger stuck or drop the rifle trying to reach my finger in there.

I like the bolt catch when I'm mag feeding and didn't want to permanently alter the follower so I found a free STL file online and printed a sled for my 338LM mag.

So the ASR kit mags all have followers that don’t have a bolt catch. Am I missing something. Wouldn’t you want to know when you’re empty if your life depended on this weapon? Just curious. Here is a 308 and a 300/338 Norma mag magazine side by side.
