Thanks. The patriot brown turned out quite nice. 1000x more than the blue started life as.
Some 300prc fun at NETT today. Everything from 500 to a mile got beat up!
So, been running a mk2 for a few years. Its not the neweat but the accuracy is hard to beat. Thinking of adding a bigger brother...axmc or the ax338 ( i think the older ax338s werw a bit cheaper than the acmcs) just a general discussion point.
Buy any 308 barrel in the PX and chop it
PVA will make you shorty 308 for the 27mm shank with an advertised 6 week lead time

Not mine! But a Vision chassis I did the cerakote on. That M10 monopod is super cool.
My 'short action' AXSR 
Curtis Valor 1:10" 308... It's nice but really doesn't even come close to the AXSR.
The Valor is pretty light at 12.5lbs while the AXSR is 17.1lbs (without bipod) 6.5cm 24" carbon barrel pictured.
It would be great to see short action AXSR's hit the shelves one day.

This was a while back...about 8 years ago. I paid 2200 for mine with one barrel.
Honeslty they shoot soo well for what i have in it,that i will never sell it. The original plan was to sell it eventually to buy an axmc.
Got a lead on one for $2500, 2 barrels, original skins and a set of viper skins.
I have an AT but this is very tempting with all the s&b 4-16s for sale right now.
1) educate me on the correlation between the mkii and the sb on sale
2l) if you have the cash in hand( personally dont believe in debt for firearms) buy it and dont look back. I think they are at the bottom of the depreciation and are excellent shooters. Even being old, they have features which a lot of custom rigs are just now introducing. DO IT!!!

An AT-X with a ZCO and a few barrels fell in my lap at a price I couldn't say no to. Have always wanted an AX, so have to decide if I'm keeping this or swapping. Anyone who's had both have any thoughts? First group out of the rifle with hand loads from my old 6.5 was more than acceptable. Even managed to shoot a decent group off a railing and game changer.
Testing out the MLOK rail on the MC. Should I paint/cerakote it or leave it black?
Yea I don't put guns on cards. I can buy it but trying to make sure it's worth it. Kind of will be "redundant " when I have my AT but a mkii or mkiii has kind of been on a list to aquire. Nothing in particular with the 4-16s but they are the slimmer looking s&bs and would pair well with a mkii to give it a more classy look. It's been a pairing I've always liked the look of.
Having owned an AX I probably wouldn't own one again just because of the part just ahead of the mag well and the ledge to the handguard. In my opinion and competing with it its a horrible design. Id always find my balance point right at that ledge and never get a good position built because of it. Would have been better if it was a smoother transition like the cadex design. I've used chassis like the atx and I'd buy one over an AX any day if those were my 2 options. If it's just going to be a bench/belly gun get whichever you like the looks of best. Just my .02.
Edited because auto correct thinks it's better than me.

Besides it gets me out of wrapping Christmas preset and watching the Hallmark Channel

Just scooped up a few barrel off bore guides from @pfl338 and actually looking forward to cleaning a few barrels this evening
Love this thing. AT with a 6.5CM Maddco barrel.
So there I was…in the desert…finally getting to take the AXSR out after waiting years to feel the sweet snuggle nudge of recoil…and I look down after less than 30 rounds through a brand new rifle to see this.
About 15rds in I noticed the retaining pin was out of place just a smidge so I pushed it back in. I shoot a few more…When I go to transition (#ZimZerZoom) to standing, I look down as I reach for it and see this.
Anyone else with an AXSR stock run into this? I just slapped some duct tape on it and secured the parts in a pouch, but was curious.
This comes after a 308 mag being out of spec, which MH took care of with a replacement in like two days.

Actually, yeah - mine slipped this week with the sling fitted, it was finger tight. Hasn't happened before.
It can't be too tight or you can't adjust it, if it's too loose it could slip apart like yours.
I'd say man, adjust it to where you want it to be length / height wise then snug the bolts right up. You won't be able to cam-over the lever then, but they'll stay tight longer.
Oh yea both of those bolts were a bit loose so I snugged them down just right but this was actually the retaining pin for the release lever. The little (non-adjustable) retention pin that the lock release pivots on in order to unlock the latch. [pin is the little black piece next to the rear bag]
Nice.. I’ll try them. Be shooting out from a 26”. Using Palma cases, maybe able to push the velocity little more. I’d be happy with 2600 anyways.

That sucks man sure they will get that fixed.

Yea I’m not worried. I’ll reach out tomorrow. Worst case if it rattles apart on me, I’ll just pull the NF and club the target.
A little range time before a 50 degree drop in temperature.
She's boringly accurate.
