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.
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.

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.
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?
NRL Hunter, here I come!
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
This is the truth and nothing but the truth lol
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…

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.

5rds of 168 FGMM from a Pale Brown AI
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!

5rds of 168 FGMM from a Pale Brown AI
Here's my daughter's precision rifle. We've been having good times together working on the fundamentals of marksmanship. Not a real AI, but it hammers!
LH Surgeon 591R action chambered in 6.5 creedmoor.
26” Bartlein barrel 1-8 twist MTU contour.
Threaded 5/8x24 with cap.
Cerakoted FDE.
Timney LH 517 flat shoe trigger.
AICS 2.0 chassis FDE.

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!

Good shooting! Truth be told my lowly AT isn’t available in elite sand.
Here’s the atx in a 16lb configuration for the nrl hunter matches. Light Palma hawk hill customs barrel thunderbeast bipod with a rrs elite clamp nightforce nx8 with spuhr rings and a apa little bastard brake.

All dressed up, but no place to go until that AT-X arrives...

Minus which rail? The whole handguard??? The top rail? Action rail? Accessory rails?
No scope?
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.

I was tracking "AI" factory labeled barrels only came from WinTac. Anyone know if that has changed to include MH? (not a discussion of quality...MH is obviously more than capable of making hammers.)That barrel is from Mile High.

This thread I linked probably has a lot of info in it that would be a good read.
New AI AX with non AI barrel?
Hello All, I went to pick up my AI AX today; I ordered it chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor. The AX rifles come to the US without barrels and Win Tactical, a shop owned by AI make the barrels off of Bartlein blanks. These barrels are stamped with the mark AI on the barrel near the action. The rifle I...

Didn't mean to start anything, as I said, I might not have heard Adam correctly.
Yep, I remember that thread. No doubt AIs can have barrels from other manufacturers... not exactly the question I posed. Defender’s barrel is marked AI... meaning it was spun by WinTac. MH uses their own marking.This thread I linked probably has a lot of info in it that would be a good read.

Again, before anyone gets riled up... both MH and WinTac make hammers. Just pointing out it’s not a MH-spun barrel.
