Roughly how many lbs are you guys dropping when you switch to Proof CF barrels? My AT is a pig in it's current configuration.
I think maybe 1-2lbs? Not sure.
A guy on the AI FB group had his AT folder with an atlas bipod 16” 308 proof Surefire muzzle NF 4-16x42 ATACR in a spuhr right at 15lbs he said. Hope that can give you an idea on reference.

Roughly 2 lbs on a AXMC, probably a little bit more on a regular AX with the smaller tenon.
Is anyone selling an AXMC? I am thinking about picking one up and selling most of my rifles. I have an AT now, but would like to step up to an MC.
Current and favorite configuration so far. 26" 6XC w/ PVA jet blast, and just added the Sawtooth Rifles Arca plate and RRS clamp! Ran like a scalded dog last match and helped me record my best finish to date!
What mount is that? I see you have a Kahles, how is it working for you? I love mine but around here they don't get much love.
Needed to re zero after a new mount and IMUNs. Barrel has @ 5,200.
My AX is going on a road trip with me to Utah

Does that seat provide enough friction to hold it in place from the top? I would hate to slam on the old stop pedal and that bad boy meet turret first with the frame. A piece of $30 foam and electric knife would give me piece of mind...That's pretty tits though, I may have to clean out all the dead hooker bits in mine and make a piece of foam for it.
LOL , Hooker bits, and for protection the box is plastic and the bottom of the seat is covered. I did put a cable lock thru the action and wrapped her up for protection.
Truck is a F 250 and the storage box is factory. Here is how we are rolling
The AW with the dovetail mount is my favorite by a good margin. I like most anything AI, but the AW is the one I turn to most. My two AW .308s and my AWSM .300 Win Mag have seen A LOT of rounds. Like yours at 5,200, I have one just over 7k that is still going strong.

Call mile high man, I call with a questions like this and they give an instant answer.
I run a 4006 0n my AIAX.
Sufficient height to clear a 56mm objective (so far I've run an S&B PMII, Razor Gen II , and currently a Minox ZP5) plus a lens cap.
With the 0 MOA cant in the mount and the 20 MOA rail on the AX I get around 22 mil elevation travel available with any of the scopes I've run.
With the 30 MOA rail of the AXMC you should have almost 3 mil more travel available.
How much space did you have between the 56mm objective on the PM2 and the rail with the PMII on the 4006 mount? I’m trying to decide between this mount and the slightly higher 38mm high one for my AXMC when it arrives. Thanks.
Enough to fit a Tenebraex scope cap on the Minox ZP5 or a Butler Creek on the S&B PMII.
I run the cheek piece one click up from bottomed out, so there should be plenty of adjustment to go with a 3mm higher mount if you want to go that route.
Said I probably wouldn’t hunt with it again, but I couldn’t resist! I guess I’ll do it while I still can.
It’s a pachmeyer or something like that for an s&w mp40 off of Amazon. Have one on my SRS as well
My AI AT with the OEM 308 barrel. Also have a 6.5x47 Gradous barrel.
Recently worked out a deal for an AXMC. Currently 6.5CM with Hellfire brake. Waiting on my can to get back from SiCo customer service. Also waiting for a Proof 300NM carbon barrel and a TBAC 338 Ultra.
A close enough zero until my suppressor gets back. Beautiful evening.
The 1994 second from the left. Would you mind discussing it? I have some questions for you. I'm also a bit of an AI collector.I never get tired of posting this pic
You have a good eye.
That's a very interesting one.
It has no importation marks on it and the receiver is actually a Coopermatch series as it is marked for iron sights on the dovetail.
I don't recall off hand what year is on the receiver, but that is an original AT model. I believe it was know as the Accuracy Target. The original AT, just as the new model, used a 6 lug bolt on short action calibers. In addition it had the two position safety that most will recognize from the AE model but true aficionados will remember from the Coopermatch series. The barrel is the original SS with the step downed muzzle for attachment of the front sight.
Truth be told I have not fired that rifle in about 10 years.
Thank you, Rolex.
IIRC, the extractor also shared the same features as what is used on the magnum calibers and not the now common leaf spring short action style. AW mags, and a somewhat odd cut on the bolt body. I remember when the new AT came out, I thought to myself, "But they already had an AT, didn't they?"
Most of my A.I. collection. Minus two of my AEs and one AWSM. I shoot an '03 AW the most, but my '96 AWSM in .300WM is my favorite. I pulled the original two port brake and fixed cheek sides off the AWSM and replaced them with the newer quad port brake and 1.5 cheek/skins. Kept the old parts, though.
Proof and Hawk Hill also. I think OTM might have some, Stuteville, Gradous and Dave Tooley.
Milehigh will have/be able to make anything you want barrel wise for the AXMC. I've got 3 AXMC barrels from them and also had them cerakote AI colors.
