Wow... I don’t wanna jerk off too hard since I don’t have any lotion with me on this 2.5hr drive home from the range but man..... I have really been missing out not owning a AI

Had my AXSA out that I picked up here used in the PX at the range today with my DT SRS & TS Customs build... all shoot better then me.. couldn’t help but notice how much better the AI was to drive though. All I can say is wow

It’s the craziest of feelings. I’m not even into the heavier tac stuff anymore and with kids and a young family and can’t afford a lighter field style rifle without selling the AI. Anytime I get to touch a custom build I think “man this thing is badass, but it’s just not an AI”. So I’m not selling the AI and just making it as light as I can lol. Which will probably still be in that 14 lbs range but selling my AX is not something I’m about to regret anytime soon!

What are you doing to attempt to bring the weight down? I am picking up an AT sometime this year and currently looking at ordering barrels. Trying to decide if I want to go with a CFW barrel to save a pound on these pigs. I don't mind weight, but I prefer the 12 lbs range. 15 starts to get miserable. The other build I would do in place of an AI would be 2lbs lighter, but it wouldn't be an AI. lol

SN-9...?

 

[168BTHPM]

If you are asking about the big scope, yes it is a US Optics SN-9. The top rifle is .300WM, the middle is .338 Lapua, the bottom is .308.

I’m right now playing with a 4-32 NX8 after selling my Gen 2 razor (28 oz scope. It’s weight influenced my decision. I know not everyone loves the scope and other love them. I think it’s has it’s limits on the top end of magnification but in that 4-20x range its a great scope). I ordered a Victor Company rail (I know doesn’t apply to the AT). I have a 16.5” Light Palma 6.5cm barrel on order from PVA that hopefully will be here soon. I would think being conscious of weight in scope decision with a short and light barrel you’d probably be lighter than the AX, but I guess that’s under the assumption that chassis is lighter. That target weight is with TBAC Ultra 7 suppressor too.

This was never a AI official offering was it?

It is not an official offering, no.

Some Saturday Afternoon Shooting @ the Sand Pit, Elite Sand Magic that color shoots the best!

Loaded up a new lot of Varget and Winchester primers for the 308, dropped the load to 41 grains to be safe.

Sucks when your barrel only prints these sub par groups. But what can you do if it makes a better tomato stake!

Very nice shooting!!

 

[Takashi]

Sam,
what bag rider is this and can where can I get one?

[SRPowah]

That target weight is with TBAC Ultra 7 suppressor too.

lol I am not even factoring in my suppressors. If my math is right, assuming an AT does truly weigh 8.3 lbs naked, I will be at 11.5 lbs before a barrel and suppressor.

 

[samb300]

Sam,
what bag rider is this and can where can I get one?

Right now it’s a 3D printed prototype. It works well enough but ultimately I’d like it to be aluminum. The design I have in CAD also has the ability to bolt on a weight to get it to 1#. This design bolts through the buttplate, but I’m unsure if going to a pic mount will be better as I don’t know if the atx and asr are the same as the ax.

That being said, I really like that it has a large flat surface area in addition to retaining the “hook”. I also made it sit lower than the AI factory plastic bag rider so you don’t need such a tall rear bag.

Maybe a dumb question but is the finish on the MK13 MOD7 barrel bead blast or just bare metal?

 

[Heretoimproveforhunting]

blasted

 

[tk427]

Yup, need blasted as it came from Lilja Barrels

Others are a better authority but I,believe thats how they were issued to the military

Stole this pic from Robert’s FB. Heavy division (16lbs or less). Light Palma Contour in 6.5CM. NF NX8. He beat a lot of good dudes in WY.

Finally got out to the range for the first time in forever to burn up some 2 or 3 month old 6.5cm ammo I loaded. Still a dream to shoot

The DE/ PB guys tend to place a whole lot higher. I have heard the Elite Sand aficionados do shoot really tight groups at the dirt though. So you gotta give that to them… .

Great choice on scope mount? how high did you go? What model number thanks

 

[lte82]

Hey I shoot at the ranch. I assume you made it with that rig! Also green AIs ftw.

Yessir! I got some funny looks showing up to qual at 1000 with a 20" 308 but it was GTG. Hit me up next time you're thinking about heading out there, maybe we can meet up. I know there's a few others on here that are members out there and also shoot factory AI's.

Yea, there's a few of us members around here for sure. We should definitely go and bring all the AI's out!

Just got home from shooting the Elite Sand again...

This new 41 grains of Varget and WLR primers is working out great, though it could just be the Elite Sand.

I do have a pale brown too.. I could just put the ES 308 barrel on it and boom, 1/8 MOA @ 200 yards then!

How did you get your hands on the chassis in FDE, with thumbhole stock? That's like a winged unicorn.

I got it from a friend. I jumped on it as soon as he mentioned he was thinking about selling it.

I gave it a shot today. Took the Elite Sand 308 barrel and put it on the Pale Brown. I think there was a color clash..

Still not too shabby!

Minus which rail? The whole handguard??? The top rail? Action rail? Accessory rails?

No scope?

Disregard...
I read into the specs as it having a one piece scope mount included in the declared weight. The barrel is easy enough to subtract.

If you go back a page, @trob_205 talked about what he is doing in his attempt to bring his AX down in weight and I assume that is your goal too. No one ask for a stripped down weight if their intent is to make it heavy.

Edit: Not sure if his is a SA or MC though...

Who did your barrel work?

That barrel is from Mile High. If I heard correctly, Adam said they had just completed a run for AI so I grabbed one and had it four days later.
