Damn, doest sound like the eld-x is all the great of a bullet.
I managed to pick up some 140 gr FGMM, and some 130 gr berger loadings. We’ll see in my AX likes it.

Worked my way up the ladder... AT -> AX -> AXMC -> AXSR... Think I'll hang onto this beast for a while!
So does that mean it's going to be for sale next week?

Dat grass in the truck bed tho.....
Couldn't afford real sod in the back of the truck?
))) i knew someone would say something about it... That's what happens when you give your buddy the MAT!!!!!! ))) O well ))
Poor's.....
Seriously….not even a hole for tailgate put put.
That's the real crime. Perfect opportunity for put put moving target drills. Shame.
How do you like that Proof barrel? I was thinking of getting one in 300PRC as mine in .260 was superb.
Hey, Christmas is coming up. Looks like a winner.

That’s PUTT PUTT ya bunch of uncultured ingrates…
Also.. what's the reason that the Anarchy Outdoors Thumb Shelf isn't compatible with the fixed version..
It seems my fixed has the holes in the right place?

Email them and find out! I have found them to be really responsive.
Changed things up a bit with a QD suppressor (Ase Utra JET-Z BL)
900 yards, .1 low it would seem. Shooting 155grs SMK at 2600 fps.

Yeah from looking at the pictures I can see that.. but surely we could just buy the retainer thing in order to install it?
The fixed chassis is missing the hole that’s in the folding chassis used for the retaining feature.
Mr. JayjayUK, I’m very sorry but you have to buy a brand new AIAT with folder to use the thumb shelf.
Ok lol j/k maybe time to break out the drill press and tap a hole? Maybe a gunsmith job.
Oh no... such a shame... I will just have to tell my wife that I NEED to buy a new rifle so that my thumb has a comfy seat to sit on whilst I shoot...Mr. JayjayUK, I’m very sorry but you have to buy a brand new AIAT with folder to use the thumb shelf.

But seriously, it is a shame as I went with the logic that I wouldn't need a folding stock so I'd save my self a few hundred squid and get the fixed.
Oh well.. the thumbrest can go to the back of the shopping list behind a Sphur mount, NF/S&B/Vortex Scope, a Tripod, Spotting Scope.. etc etc.
Albeit a thought just popped into my head, those little plastic bits that fill the holes are relatively deep.. I might try see if I can drill a hole in one of them and fixed a nut too it.. use one screw that goes all the way through and another shallow one...?
Or one screw and a blob of glue to the little plastic filler bit

White trash way: Just pop out the plastic cover, squirt a bunch of JB Weld in there, slap on the thumb rest, attach the front of it the correct way. For the rear hole buy a self-tapping sheet metal screw and blast it in there before the epoxy dries. THERE I FIXED IT.
I might just do something like that.. I now have spare plastic cover bits so why not
Whoa, I was joking! Don’t use JB Weld! You’ll wind up with your plastic skins epoxied to your metal spine! Or worse if it leaks into the trigger.
I’m not sure the exact method of how that thumb rest’s rear bolt attaches. But the right way to DIY would be to pop that plastic bit out, mark the center, remove all the surrounding plastic skin, and drill a hole with a drill press (so it’s perpendicular and round). Then you use a hand tap and thread the hole.
How it works is you figure out the threaded hole diameter you want then buy a tap for that diameter. Find out which drill bit the tap needs (smaller than the threaded hole diameter). You need a hand tap holder too. I’d remove all the plastic like on Sam’s pics.
Trickier bit is to mark the dead center in the hole. Some skilled people can use a hand drill. Not me.
Anyway, I’d bring it to a gunsmith as my hand-tapping skillz are low-fi. I’m sure Sam or others can fill in the details if you DIY.
No tapping required, just the correct size hole For the SS/ silver boss.
Get the Anarchy AT RH thumbrest; SKU AI-TR-AT-RH that has the SS/silver threaded boss.
Drill 1x hole in the correct place, RHS chassis and that boss slots not screws right in, is held in place thru the flushcup on the LHS of the chassis, and the screw from the RHS in via the thumbrest. All screws supplied in that kit, not the flushcup. I may have drilled another hole in the LHS for the flushcup, can’t remember if that was already there or not.
The RH thumbrest screw fits into the plastic/ brass threaded, captured nut that sits in the keyed skin mount.
Easy!

ATX 26" 6BR 108gr ELDM. Refined, heavy bastard. Ran in the new HardyNZ barrel today with 200 rounds, season finale this weekend.
AXSR 26" 300PRC 210gr VLD Hunter. Sleek, 'light' and glorious. This is the first rifle to leave the safe most of the time.
What are your thought on the thumb rest? I was thinking about getting one for my AX, but having a hard time justifying 50 bucks for a piece of plastic.
That being said, I can completely see where a thumb rest would be nice.
I absolutely love mine. It was completely worth it. However everyone is different.
Yup, $50 on an AI is a drop in the ocean as said already.
The thumbrest is awesome. It’s functional as the thumb is at readiness to lever/ cycle the bolt. It also seems to be a natural position for me and clearly many others.
I can’t reconcile why AI didn’t make provision for them on the new models…
I also enjoy the retro thumbhole stocks so I’ve the best of both worlds.

Sunday is always 1,000yd day on Quantico's Range 4. Sniper School put out T-posts, hangers and steel at 1,035yds so we hung a couple pieces to squeeze out a bit more distance than usual. We were also shooting the Milk Jug at 1,000.
A new (British) guy to Range 4 did it up properly with his AT-X in 6.5. He was getting some velocities and banging his steel:
My MC in 300PRC:
The two 1,035yd targets. Easy day today, overcast, 50 degrees, 1-3mph wind and no mirage.
Milk jug with the monster 1st round hit from the PRC at the top.
Video of the British guy shooting the MC:
Crappy video of the first round hit on the jug. Zoomed in too much to catch the hit (you can see it at the 8sec mark) and I didn't square the reticle on the triggercam - stupid rookie...

The NZ army recently annouced they'll be purchasing the Barret MRAD, interesting that they don't seem to care about having commonality with the Aussies anymore.In this article I break down every bit of kit that will be issued with the Australian Defence Force AXSR issue.
Includes pictures.

With the Land Forces 22 conference now over and the announcement of winners of the LAND 159 Lethality System Program Tranche 1 now done and dusted, it is time to turn our focus to the finer details…precisionrifleguy.com
Probably, the past three years have all kinda rolled into one....
I forgot where I read this existed, but I figured I'd ask before dusting off the hand drill...
Which company was it that offers the RRS ARC hole service for the AXSR RRS forend? AKA Which company is drilling holes in the bottom of the AXSR forend for the ARC system?
...or was I hallucinating again?
