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!!

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.

Sam,

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.

I’d be willing to T&E one for ya

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

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.

Looks like he stole it back, no workie!

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

Elite Sand, they are the best shooters!

This is the truth and nothing but the truth lol

 

[NoLegs24]

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.

Eratac 014-0017, no incline. 1.36 inches I believe.

IF it was pale brown your group would only cover half the target

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!

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!

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.

 

[BuLLet]

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.

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

No scope?

 

[Joshf303]

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...

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.)

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.

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

 

[BuLLet]

Took my 17 year old daughter out to try out the Elite Sand AXSA. Put the ES 308 back on this one and did some 100 yard shooting. Indoor underground range.

Before I adjusted from my 200 yard zero.

Kimmy's group.

They use plywood backer board here and it tears up the paper some.
