My thoughts exactly. I shot 308 for a year and a half to learn wind. Getting a 6x47 barrel spun up for next year.
308 will be good for that range. It’s an accurate barrel, you can get the ammo, not burning 20% of a barrel over a few days etc.
250 rounds over 3 days isn’t a big ask by any stretch.
If the wind is messing with you, good, you’ll learn more.

Hit the range for some pre 4th bang. Actually got out of the prone position for a bit, shooting 338LM off of some tires, quite entertaining.
Also proofed out reubenski 's idea of a fix it stick caddy mounted under the cheek piece. Worked really well, great concept, nothing shook loose or broke after 50+ rounds of 285's and 300's 338LM and 50 rounds of 308 pushing175's. Happy 4th of July to all you guys!!!!

As long as the cheek pieces are the same it should work just fine. I have a few more mods to make to ensure durability and to try and reduce the size a bit more. I could not find a way to bond to the plastic the cheek pieces are made from, so be aware you will have to drill 2 holes through the cheek piece to mount them with number 10 countersunk hex screws. I will keep everyone informed.
this appears to be 3d printed. Would you mind sharing the design?
You know what might be a better option on the AXSR? One of those AR Grip plug inserts. So a grip plug that holds the limiter, bit, and stick.
I removed my cheep savage now my poorness wount offend anyone. Now I remember why I don't join forms. Too old for this kidd stuff.

Need some directions homie?
Thanks, @Huskydriver for tagging @J-Ham great transaction he’s good dude.
Phase 2…. I have Lapua brass, 210M primers, Varget and 185 juggernauts and 178 ELD’s and a few Sierras.
Anyone have a load they’d like to share for an AI Factory 20” barrel with 1:10.

Is that a Savage on a Harris with Chinese glass in the AI thread....Are you serious?
And a plug for your own YouTube channel....
Nothing about the tacticool pool mat for Martine operations?
I'm dealing with my own children right now and don't have the strength....

Yes it is a Savage a very accurate one and what this old very old Marine from Missouri can afford.
Post it in this thread

This thread is specific to the brand Accuracy International...
You removed it above because you got some shit. Then reposted it a couple replies below. You don’t have to get offended or explain it. We can all see what it is (savage) and what it’s not (AI)
This is an AI only specific thread. That’s why your getting the heat. That’s not an AI. Not even the mag is an AI
I have an AT with the AX stock conversion. This is an after market cheek rest that sits lower than the AI cheek rest and is set as low as it will go. It's a non-issue for me shooting from the left side.
Put the first fallow deer down today with the 300PRC, 324 meters across the valley, nice down hill shot between trees.
230gr A-Tip punched a hole straight through shoulder and lungs... AB reckons around 3120ft lbs of energy on target. It stumbled about 10 meters then collapsed. Didn't find the projectile unfortunately, it probably sailed straight through, no major damage to the pelt.

The reubenski Fix it Stick caddy for A.I cheek piece.
Here is the final version, not much changed except for hole spacing, moved the fingers closer together to capture the stick better and added lugs that slip into the molded recesses that run down the middle of the inside of the cheek piece.
I recommend using a10-32X 3/4 long countersunk socket head screw and nut for mounting. Just use the part as a drill guide, countersink the hole for the screw on the outside of the cheek piece, insert nut in the caddy and install. I would not permanently bond the caddy into place just encase of breakage it can be easily replaced. Because of the limited space the cheek piece can no longer store the factory 4mm allen key unless you cut it off.
Durability of the caddy is dependent upon level of abuse its exposed too. It did survive a 7 hr range session with me ( which is more than I can say for majority of my ex wives)
I can send the 3d file to whom ever wants it, send me an email at [email protected]. I have never shared any of my files so I may need some help from someone knowledgeable in sending these types of files. I assume(lol) that it can be sent as an email attachment.
I run the file through the Prusa Slicer using PETG (nylon would be best) and a .1 level thickness and 25%fill, lugs down, don't forget the supports,3.5hr print time.

At you shooting off your portch along your private pond?
you deserve a better shooting table. But I guess you gotta draw the line somewhere.
good looking rig and target.
L118A2 is finally complete. All real and correct AI except the barrel which is made off a Bartlein blank to the exact L118 profile and specs by Crescent Customs because it was specific to the contract so no hope of finding a real one (deviated in twist rate to optimize the gun for 185G Berger Juggernauts). Cool points are the AI suppressor adapter, AI QD scope mount (made specifically on contract for the L118a2 and L129A1), UK Spec ACI, and S&B PM2 3-12 with AI windage turret. 48 of these were purchased by the MoD and I can confirm that they are still in regiment armories and used for counter terror operations. I have seen two non public photos of them with the Accuracy first level and one with the badger rail with an LA5 mounted instead of the AI factory rail (also reasonable considering many L115A3s have been seen with the badger rail). To my knowledge there are no AI .308 suppressors in the US so it will be impossible to get the correct can. L115A3 and AI AW Covert are in progress and I will post them once completed. If anyone happens to have the AI inline front rail for the L118 or L115 or L96 please shoot me a message! Cheers

Congrats on the completion.
#1 - You remind me of a guy whose initials are CC.
#2 - There is a guy from Florida that has a real deal L96A1. You two might have similar levels of patience and dedication.
1: Great reference but that is too high praise for me
2: L96A1 are fantastic rifles. Would love to add one to the collection someday. Hard to find though
This post is fantastic and timely. With the help of Mile High Shooting and Sporting Services UK, I am piecing together, as best I can, a L115A3, L115A2, and L118A2. It is nice to see you mention the use of the Badger rail as acceptable as I had no solution for that. My other current hold up is the L96 bipod with conversion for use on the L115A2, however, I have seen photos of the PH bipod being used on those so I may go that route temporarily. I will get photos up once all is complete.
Funny enough, I have an L96 Scope mount and Bipod Sitting in the safe unused. I have the L115A3 inline AI rail, its P/N 6794. Ive seen a few around. The badger rail is used fairly widely by SOF elements wanting to mount LA5s to their long rifles. No real way to do that besides using the badger. Ive seen a Wilcox Raptar used on one L115A3 as well.

Just got the new Accuracy Obsession chassis installed. It’s awesome, huge upgrade from my AT.
Checked the 200yd groups then played around a little from 900-1300yds. The 338 Lapua rings the steel quite a bit harder then the 6.5cm.
Finally got the 22GT stretched out to 1k today and got dope from 400-1000yds. First time on steel for it and it was glorious. Bucked the wind like no ones business at Mach Jesus with the 95gr SMK’s 
New comp trigger from @Huskydriver felt great and I’m kicking myself in the ass for not getting one sooner!

That sunset tho
When you guys change calibers do you mark anywhere on the rifle and barrel? It just seems like with the quick change nature of the barrel and the fact that you are meant to tighten it down to "hand tight" you'll end up getting the barrel inserted into the receiver at different depths each time.
I know diffrent calibers will have diffrent zeroes, I'm more asking in terms of switching back to the same barrel and keeping the same zero as before.

If nothing is wrong with the barrel shoulder and theres nothing in between that barrel/receiver mating surface you’ll be fine. That’s the whole point of a shouldered barrel.
I’ve noticed my guns have a “seater” shot when I change barrels that’s usually a couple tenths low from POA but that’s normal. I treat it like a cold bore.
As long as you shoulder the barrel by hand the same way every time and tighten your quickloc screw consistently every time you shouldn’t have any issues with POI shift.
Never. I’ve had no real zero shift taking a barrel off and putting back on. Therefore I don’t mark anything ever.
Remove, replace, send it. After a few times you will trust it. This is a proven system that is used in the real world taking on "critters" that can bite back, completely repeatable. You get what you pay for with AI. Not that I am a fan or anything...lol
No, it’s consistent, especially if you put a wrench on the end and snug it up good. RTZ are the same each time between barrels.
We had plans to do some filming and get some photos... The fog dropped visibility to about 50-100 meters.
Got mine out today for the first time with the 223 Rem conversion and it’s so sweet…
Shot less than .50 MOA at 200, no load development at all. Through 30 rounds together, 69 Gr, 74 Gr and 80 Gr boolits on top of 25.2
Gr of CFE223 in Lapua brass with CCI 450 for ignition. It’s awesome…

Nothing really special, just the MC (300 PRC) out for a re-zero as there was a 100/300/600yd day at Quantico. Easy peasy, three shots to the left, three to the right and three where they need to be in the middle allowed me to set windage. I then adjusted elevation (not shown) and am ready for a 1,000yd day tomorrow.
