Thanks for the confirmation. Do they ever go on sale? I really want the black ones to match the color of the rifle but I may have to buy the FDE ones and just Sharpie them...
The cheap AI owner…an anomaly or standard practice?
Watch tonight’s episode of Ripley’s Believe It or Not® To find out!
Rich/ well off people are mosty frugal / looking for deals if they made their own money
Meanwhile poors do stuff like this.
Dumb poor people do that as well as rich people who don’t give a crap (because they don’t have to care/$$$ to
).There is a saying that states the only people who can afford to buy cheap stuff are rich people.
Because when the cheap item inevitably soon breaks, it’s no big deal to rich folks. Toss it and buy another.
A few caveats:
- the truth of this saying hinges upon the meaning of the word “afford”
- as mentioned, poor dumb people exist
- this saying has little to do with tightwads who look for deals on authentic AI mags
What's the prob? I see a bunch of center mass kill shots.... I wanna know what poor didn't use ar550?
Just buy another AXSA in FDE. Problem solved!

Cuz we ball till we fall, nucca.
What evs. Keep it real lol
You gotta admit the ATLE is hawt.

My AT was FDE too but with a black thumb hole skin. Not great for matches but i did love it that way too.
Guess I'll have to see @Huskydriver 's AO IRL to fully appreciate itBeen busy with work today lol
AO chassis or GTFO
ATLE with the NV bridge is pretty gangster tho!
Yeah, didn't you post pics of it a while back shooting matches?? Looked diff but was still tits
Is this the 16.5” barrel? I’ve got a spare 26” LW barrel I’m thinking of chopping.
Yeah I figured it would be, but I have enough 20”+ barrels that I don’t need another one this length. Do you find yourself not shooting it much because it’s so slow?
Just depends on what you are trying to do. I can only push 140s about 2500
338LM at 25yds on steel FTW.
A hits a hit am I right?
Whaaat? You abandoned it or just swap barrels?? You got yours around the same time I got mineI miss my AT-LE shorty. Still debating what'll be next.
Yea I sold it, it went to another member here on the forum. I had plans for an AT-X, I passed my spot on to another with the initial release of those and now I am waiting for the third gen variant before pulling the trigger. While the AT-X has all of the right improvements, it'll never be the looker that is the AT-LE.
Ya done messed up... You could have been the only guy for now with a at LE in a ao chassis....
16.25" 6.5poopmoor on an AT. Very handy but I've shot a whopping 5 rounds so I can't tell you much.
Edit: 20" for comparison. This is 308 and I get 2558 with 175smk m118lr clone and 2600fps with a 175rdf match load.
Oh I'm not, just got bored waiting to go to the range and painted a second set of skins inbetween photo shoots.
Edited because I'm an idiot. My 16" is a 6.5creedmoor, my 308 is a 20"

Our elevation helps. Shooting around 5000+ elevation. Lapua Palma (srp). I was getting 2650 with 45.6 Varget no pressure signs homie. Backed it down to a more accurate node. 2600 is average now. Done over labradar. So it’s probably off by 300 fps lol
I am at sea level and usually shooting in winds 10-20mph. My software tells me to expect around 1000fps at 1000yds. With 168FGMM I chrono'd 2442fps at the muzzle with the 16.5" barrel. I made repeated hits (50-60%) at 1000yds with this setup with 15-18mph winds but they were almost head on and pretty steady/clean. 700-800yds plus with any .308 starts to become more of a crap shoot. I shot a three day class with a 20" barrel and 175FGMM and as expected the numbers were better.
For myself, the short barrel was simply to have a more compact setup (and it looks cool), I rarely shoot .308 beyond 500yds as it is. 6CM takes over for 500-1000yds and then I go up from there if shooting beyond 1000yds.
I think I need to rattle can my new R30 suppressor. It doesn’t look right in gray.
Tacked together to decide on a scheme - pretty cool.
@FUNCTIONAL Hey man, question - why do you have your scope rings set up so close together?? With the rear, obstructing the ejection port, do you get any brass extraction stoppages from that?
Not digging, just curious.

Well, he has the rear ring in the center of the rear mounting area (cant go much further back because of the illuminator knob), and the rings are not protruding anymore than any other unimount.
Just got my 308, Considering doing some mods just not sure what yet. Going to shoot it and enjoy it for a bit before I change anything I think.
axsa 26” 1-10
155 smk Palma #2156
.308 Peterson srp case
47.0 gr Varget
cci #450 srp
5 shot group
Had some time to finalize my reload. I’m pretty much done and just stick to this recipe.Don’t wanna waste anymore powders. Seems like no matter what reloads I throw at this ax, it just shoots dead nuts anyways.Time to stretch it.

Looks like the 2 screw model that can be bought at a discount used
No ejector marks, very slight flatten primer. Bolt lift is still butterly smooth shot after shot. I’ll post a picture of the batch later today.
