With all AX's you want a 1.5" mount or rings. That will fit any 56mm objective scope.
mk13 is the oldest. while not a true AI, it was my first foray into a chassis. chad built quite the shooter for me. with stiller down the road at the time, i popped over for a tour and picked up the mk13. within a couple days the marine corps contract was announced. had i had the resources at the time, i would have picked up a couple more of those actions. could have funded another AI or two . . .
from the mk13 i made the 'plunge' into AIs with the AX. snowballed from there. have yet to bring myself to part with one. nice to have loaners for friends / keep for the kids
may be time to work a little backward on the AI timeline, and pick up something green (or at least green stocked). DE is looking a little overrepresented.
Received mine yesterday from EuroOptic, unfortunately there is an issue with focus on these first batch and Tangent wants them back.
Things were running smooth on the shop floor Friday so I decided that the MC needed some forearm weights. So i did not bother with ounces and just went full bore with pounds, 2.5 pounds each lol. Rattle canned green and then tested them out today with the 300WM barrel. A real pussy cat now!
Missed marketing opportunity to make those weights attach to the butt stock.
You coulda just put it in the hotel shower. Scrubbed it down. Then put it in the closet with the hair dryer in there.
Smh
Smh
That's a good, trusty, 50+ year old claw hammer right there. My Dad (!) has had the exact same one for as long as I can remember.
Hahahaha true.
After seeing those hotel cooking videos with the dude who cooks food using the hair dryer in the bathroom, I’m willing to bet anything is possible with a hair dryer.
My dad gave me that back when I was a teenager and doing roofing with him in FL. Still going strong.
I might start running it my secondary at 2 gun matches

Not without an actual at buttstock
So after all that and a powder cleaning, my zero was only .1 mils high.
Stopped off at 100 yards to check zero and chronograph a few rounds. Looks like the barrel sped up as it broke in - currently sitting at 2802 fps with an SD of 4. Pretty damn pleased with the AT-X.
Who would you guys recommend to spin up a 300 blackout barrel?
Yeah, that’s a 223 setup above
Prolly cuz it's that poors NF...
1.
2. Got to look through a ZCO 527 MPCT3X at Saturday’s match and was like hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
But then I’d have to find a new mount and trim a small section of my case’s foam so I decided against it.
It was really nice though. …and tempting.
Wish the S&B 636 or TT735 offered better reticles. I really like the MPCT2X, Mil-XT, and PR2. But noooooo.
Does anyone have experience/know if it is possible to convert an old MKIII non-folder to a folder with the AT Hinge assembly?
After nearly 20 years of shooting R700s in AICSs on Quantico’s Range 4, I’ve finally given in to peer pressure from guys like @Defender3 and @Fixr and several others on the firing line….
I bought a 2022 AT and immediately vandalized it with an early butt stock.

I think you had a spelling error.
Thumbhole gang for life!
I simply can't resist, "but it's a 6.5CM."
Seriously though, if the hide only knew the depth of your experience and data books that allow you those first round hits on the milk jug at 1,000yds.
Took Lowlight and Enoughsaid’s Alaska PR1/2 for the 2nd time. Took the 300NM along for some side fun.
What a ridiculous combination, had Taylor do my final fundamental eval with it. He also brought my Magnus along for some visitation rights time, spun it on, never checked zero shift, 1st round impact 24” plate @1k, 2nd round missed right, 3rd round impact.
Keep wondering how do you take a rifle and cartridge you’ve only shot 10 times with only 1 of those being at 1k, zeroed with different can, iffy data, and then go 2 for 3 at 1k with rounds 11-13.
Brutally efficient set up, literally got off the gun and saying to myself that’s why you buy an AI.
Had a few different guys in class send a round with it and the Magnus sounds

I took a PR1 class with Frank using an off the shelf R700 that I bought in 2012, and at the end of the class he told me "That rifle is holding you back, you need an AI"
I laughed it off at the time but then 18 months later....I bought an AXMC. My only regret is that now I also want an AX because my arms can't reach the forend when shooting from a standing position.
Lapua 300 NM brass Mile High
New to me AT in 308. March 2.5-25 and oss titanium can with a atlas bipod. So ready to get this out and shoot it to 1000 yards! I rejoin the club after selling my ae mk2 about a year ago.
Spuhr is over rated. Prove me wrong
Price Cracked mounting plates Causes some scopes to lock up the magnification ring. Rare reports of cracked ring top halves. Buy a set of NightForce. More durable and almost as many Mount options for rails red dots etc. and cheaper.
www.snipershide.com
If they want to keep having broken mount clamps , broken ring halves , mounts that mess up scopes parallax etc.
That’s on them
Some people ya just can’t help
ZCO mount ftw.
NF mounts are also acceptable. Where applicable
