I pulled up the sat image, looks like a nice lane between the farms out to the mile target. Even with 52,000 acres with 32+ ranges, we have back to back ranges and liberal lateral restrictions. They combine to limit the steel we can put out on the ranges the club has access for use. It's not the Distance X for us, rather, the lateral range limitations. /hurtyourheadoff
ETA - Two diagrams pulled from regulations our RSOs follow. The second doesn't necessarily correlate to the first.

I bought it complete. These aluminum cases havent been made in years and seem to fetch a couple grand for a beat up one
Sounds like a great event!, I’m trying to find one where you get to shoot the trafficker

Random question and I know this will be the place to get the answer..
Why is there not a long action or magnum AT?
I know there was the AW/AWM. Did they just streamline larger chamberings to the AX line only?

Yeah so how comes they didn't do an ATMC and an AXMC?
Or just an ATM like they had done the AWM?
Just curious. Picture just because...
First off, lower your voice. Second, I do. If I cared about, you know, a rifle that feeds, a good trigger, options for stocks/chassis's. I'd get another impact
As cool as that would be, I think AI is more focused on getting those military contracts rather than scratching people's retro itch.
@Huskydriver What mount and Spuhr rail is that RMR on?
Impact? Look above…just get tikkaFirst off, lower your voice. Second, I do. If I cared about, you know, a rifle that feeds, a good trigger, options for stocks/chassis's. I'd get another impact
I just realized that if you had gold mags on both rifles it would look bad ass!
I was thinking just the trigger shoe.
But Il get the rust oleum out for that
Not to be retro at all, I just don't like how the AX settles ontop of obstacles. AT does a better job at that for me. I like how the AX/mc looks a lot, owned one, just not a fan. That harsh transition from that plastic handguard to rail kills it for me in function. If that transition point was more subtle like cadex I'd be very happy.
Thumbhole AT MC is literally my dream rifle.
It kind of poses a question, could you mount an AXMC action to an old AWM chassis?

AT, AW, and AWM all have the 1.25" wide action. AXMC action is a lot wider and designed around the magnum double stack magazine, and will not work in the AWM chassis.
Your only option would be to de-bond the AX buttstock and install an AT folder buttstock with the thumbhole skins. Someone on here has done it.
That's a 1.25" wide action in an AX chassis, only takes the single stack mags.
@CoriolisEffect is talking about the double-stack wide AXMC chassis in an AW chassis, basically the opposite of the Maverick.
@CoriolisEffect, I can set you up with that AT folder when you finally decide to travel down this dark path, haha!
It's all good! I have looked into it in the past when people asked me to work on an aftermarket chassis for the AXMC. Unfortunately I don't think there is/was a market to support the cost and effort associated with that endeavor, and the MC/ASR is mainly a prone gun anyway so designing a new chassis for the MC wouldn't have the same benefits as the Vision chassis does for the AT/AX short action.
Wtf? Thumb hole on that MC? Aw man! Nice! 1st place..
I’m happy to report I’ve finally become the owner of my first AI. Went with an AT in 6.5 Creed. Wanted one for 20+ years as I first laid eyes on an AWM back in 1999 at a large gun-show here locally. The AT was the closest to that retro-look I could get (I have thumbhole skins on order from Sporting Services).
I’ve been through the Rem 700 blue-printed route, Big-Horn, Defiance and Mausingfield (only custom I still have). They were all fine, but I can’t wait to get this out and put some rounds down range.
A question for the AI brain-trust here. The barrel is marked “W5949” is this a Wintac Bartlein or a Lothar-Walther, or some other blank?
-Thanks

That would be a Bartlien
I’ve got a mini plate pro that I’ve run on my AT. Seems to work fine. I don’t use it very often but it works as advertised. It’s heavy, especially with the bag attached and works best for me on flat surfaces or something like a gate.
If you’re looking for an easy way to add weight to an AT it’s not too big and you could leave it on the rifle most of the time without it being in the way.
It is expensive, but like all of Dave’s products I’ve seen, it’s very well made.
How do you ID them, @blbennett1288 ? I’ve got two take off barrels that I bought. I’d be over the moon if they are Barts.
All the Win-Tac will have a “W” prefix with numbers and are Bartliens. There were some Hawk Hills on ATX’s, for those you would need to look at the number of grooves.
All Lothar Wothar stuff will be marked with their proof marks near the chamber.
If it's been chopped or painted and you have a borescope you can also look at the lands. All the Bart's I have regardless of caliber have 5R/trapezoid shaped lands.

Thanks. You don’t think it rides too far forward if the mag well?
Less concerned with weight, more looking at potential to gain a little stability.
That's great. I've had three Bart's on other builds, they were all hammers. Pretty stoked to have one of the best blanks out there on my first AI.
Elite sand left, sage green right. My elite sand is an older mixture that I think is a little darker and greener than the new axsr elite sand. Each color can look different depending on the light, but sage is much greener. Both are dope.
Step 1: buy an axmc
Step 2: buy a thumbhole folder at
Step 3: buy an ao/vision chassis for the at
Step4: debond the axmc butt stock
Step5: debond the thumbhole from the at
Step6: install thumbhole folder on axmc
Orrrr…
Step 1a: Buy AXMC-LE
Step 2a: Buy @J-Ham ‘s AT folding stock
Step 3a: Debond the AXMC-LE buttstock
Step 4a: Install the AT folder with thumbhole skins.
Step 5a: Beat @Huskydriver at having the coolest AI.
Step 6a: Win
It Balances a 20” 308 in the old school AI contour just fine and the new heavier AI contour in 24” even better. May be a little far forward if you’re running a truck axle.
