Here is one, stumbled across it while looking for inspiration for RAL8000 Camos.

Anyone running the atx chassis with a 22 action? What’s the best one ?

 

[BurtG]

Anyone ever cerakote their AI using a Digital camo pattern?

Rattle can or GTFO


Professionally applied camo is for safe queens that don’t need camo

 

[918v]

Por favor… What is the bolt diameter on AXSR rifles, for custom bore guide purposes?

Wait, isnt this the AI thread? If you can afford an AI with a ZCO you can afford to beat up a $400 paintjob

 

[Hey You]

my bore guide is .791

I'll have input on this later this weekend. ATX chassis with Vudoo 360.

Thanks everyone!

I’m getting closer and closer to painting my AT. I have the sponges and Krylon here, and I’m channeling my inner Rembrandt.

For those that have done it, did y’all tape off the action? Or find it easier to remove the skins and do it that way?

 

[BurtG]

my inner Rembrandt

Coors light or something cheap ?

I sprayed whole thing except for bolt handle and ejection port portion of bolt

I’d personally remove the skins if that’s all I wanted to paint

 

[Huskydriver]

I wouldn't do the bolt body or race way

I think it would be hilarious to have some top-flight shooting team hit a big match like the Guardian equipped with Savages, Tascos, and Zubaz and just clean TF up.

Make sure you paint the scope too. Don’t be one of those weirdos who paints the rifle but not the optic.

If you want to paint the action just remove the bolt and tape off the ejection port and raceway in the back. Turret numbers, mag numbers and lenses too if you do the scope.

I didn't and I found out easier to remove the skins and just do the skins.

If you choose to paint the action, I've always found just ripping the tape , slapping it on and not making it perfect has actually made the paint job look better in the end.

 

[blbennett1288]

Thanks @Two Vets Sporting Goods for the pictures and @RS14 for the heads up. More of me and my ATX from Guardian Arena

 

[MACHTECH]

I'll leave this here if anyone is looking for an alternative to the knights or badger imuns. This one is from Cadex and it fits AW and AE for sure. I don't see why it wouldn't work on an AT as well.

 

[BurtG]

Turret numbers, mag numbers and lenses too if you do the scope.

Don’t forget to shove some cotton balls or something under the flip caps.

Can anyone tell me the diameter of the 338 Lapua factory barrel at the end of the rail? AXSR.

 

[BCX]

Should be .980

 

[Huskydriver]

Basically 1"

 

[ForgeValley]

Should be .980

Thanks guys, my 338 Proof CF is 1.19 and my 33xc is 1.23. Want a little more clearance if I order up another 33xc bbl.

 

[BCX]

The AXSR factory barrels vary this much?

 

[Huskydriver]

Yea looked like yours would probably rub from the one pic you posted

 

[Huskydriver]

No....his are custom.... And mine was .98 as well.....

 

[ForgeValley]

No, the Proof CF is a thicker contour than factory, as is my 33xc bbl. Had to have the 33xc barrel turned down a bit. Want to order it correctly from Bartlein next time.

 

[ForgeValley]

It's close, but I think it clears. Shooting into .5 moa so if it was hitting I think it wouldn't do that.

 

[BCX]

My 33 xc barrel is 1.240 at end of rail. No rubbing.
Factory AXSR 338 LM is .980 at rail.
Bart HV 300 PRC is 1.110 at rail.

The sub 30 cal blanks i have order are contoured as the factory AXSR contour.

 

[TheBigCountry]

Make sure you paint the scope too. Don’t be one of those weirdos who paints the rifle but not the optic.

My scope is already purple so I’m good. #VortexNation or some shit

Yeah, I think 1.23, 1.24 is at the upper end of what you want. Greg@ spr chambered it for me and tapered it down to the minimum clearance he likes to see.

 

[BCX]

Go 1.20 straight after 12 inches from the breech.

Sunday is always "long range" at the Quantico Shooting Club. Yesterday was 70 degrees but today was 45 degrees with 13mph winds gusting to 22 and swirling across the range. There were a number of AIs on the line including an ATX, short actions and my MC. I was shooting a steel plate at 1,035 and the best I could do was 9 hits out of 20 shots. Two shots on target, then one off left edge. One shot on and the next off the right edge, rinse and repeat; and the whole line was having similar challenges. I also let a guy, who was shooting an RPR in 338 experience AI greatness by hitting that steel.

Well here is the final product. I either got to get a stubby 308 barrel or get this thing chopped and threaded.

How does it look? And any thoughts on chop/thread versus a new Proof pre-fit?

Also wanted to know about attaching my sling to this behemoth; it looks like it has attachments built in? Or what do I need to put my sling on (Armageddon gear sling).

I think you either need a change of color palette or more sponging. Or both.

Right now it’s got a “dirty smoker” vibe, somehow.

My 2¢

Less sponge more spray and pray

 

[carbonbased]

Yeah, less, more, something. Right now it’s in that in-between stage.

Sort of like when you are attempting to match paint on a wall. You either need to be exactly on or go totally different. Half-measures look…like mistakes.
