ATX’s at Steel City Rifleman’s Match
Congratulations again man. Hope to make one of these
Does this mean you won? Just curious, how does TT feel about your hat and how does NF feel about your scope?
Second. TT and NF have learned to deal with each other lol.Does this mean you won? Just curious, how does TT feel about your hat and how does NF feel about your scope?
Well a follow up post. Took the brake off and went to work this weekend. For those that asked the crown looked great, and the brake came off relatively easy with very little carbon on the crown.
Some Wierd results from shooting.
First everything tightened up, but it still hates anything that’s not Hornady.
The 130 bergers were 1.2 moa, the 140 FGMM was 1.3 moa, the Norma 143 was 1.2 moa.
For the Hornady the 140 ELD-M’s were just under 1 moa, the 147 ELD-M’s shot better at around 1/2 moa repeatedly for three 5 shot groups. The surprise of the day though was the 143 ELD-X precision hunter load. With the brake on the 143’s were a 1-1.5 moa, without the brake I shot my smallest group ever of .283. They just kept going in the same hole.
So the good news is the Brake definitely seems to have been an issue, the bad news is it’s still a relatively picky bitch, and of course it likes the more expensive ELD-X loading.
All in all an interesting day at the range, and only inaccurate guns are boring.
Thoughts?
Hopefully everyone had a solid weekend. Some pictures from shooting at 2073 yards in the desert yesterday.
First time stretching the AT. Beautiful day in the desert on Labor Day. Target with the gloves was at 1051 yards while the other was at 1282 yards. 6.5 Creed and 140 ELDM’s. Couldn’t be happier.

Haha, I haven’t bothered to use those group measuring photo apps. Probably a better way to do it, but I’m used to bringing the calipers and snapping a photo.
So impressed with this rifle. Have had more than a few customs over the last 15 years. The AT doesn’t necessarily shoot smaller groups, it’s just less picky and more consistent string to string. Just doesn’t seem to be bothered by much of anything. So far, I’m of the opinion that the AI hype is not just hype. It’s real.

That’s a very late (circa 07) AICS one year only extended spigot shown with standard spigot below:
To remove it, remove the barreled action from the chassis and remove the skins as necessary.
Drive out the roll pin shown above. Drop the bipod stud. With a flat blade screwdriver, push the spigot as far forward (or back, it’s been a while) as it will go. Wiggle out the sling hook- it’ll be stuck in there pretty well because a rubber puck is holding it in place, then push the spigot out of the aluminum frame.
Duck and cover because this isn’t an AICS thread…. It’s an Accuracy International rifle thread.

Anybody know if a pre-14 AX can use a post-14 forend?
I know there is a difference in attachments being counter bore v counter sunk. Curious if the rail attachment to chassis area has different geometry too.

Hi All!
Long story short, I'm a huge Counter Strike nerd and bought this rifle on a whim after seeing it at my LGS yesterday. Would someone please educate me on it? Any info would be awesome, but answers to these specific questions would be appreciated:

- Is this an "Original" AW or is it one of the chassis builds?
- Is there a way to find out when it was manufactured?
- How is the rifle set up from an enthusiast perspective? (Bipod, Scope, etc)
- How much is this package worth?
Hello fellow Accuracy International enthusiasts, I walked into my local gun store and bought a perfect $10k+ AW setup on a whim. Can you tell me what gun this is?
Atx if you like the grip and don't mind the comp trigger and are going to play positional games.
If your going to be shooting from prone or a tripod most of the time at le is aight.
Ooooorrrrr you go big flex and get an le, debond that sucker and throw it in a ao vision chassis but bed it with a release agent so you can throw it in either chassis when you want. Then complete the trifecta and find a thumbhole folder just cuz and run that on occasion because you can....

Well the LE sold literally minutes before I could nab it. Looks like an AT-X is the answer.

Husky is right... AT + AO chassis + thumbhole = The coup de grâce.
@Huskydriver forgot one thing, has to have a NF 7-35 on it. Don’t want any of that restricted FOV stuff

Lol!@Huskydriver forgot one thing, has to have a NF 7-35 on it. Don’t want any of that restricted FOV stuff
I mean if one is buying Japanese glass might as well get the best aka vortex gen 3 razor and not have a rotating occular and a decent reticle...... Am I right @BurtG and @M8541Reaper ?

SWFA 10X is the best for an AI
I knew as soon as I received the tag notification that it was going to be about NF.
Your words hurt but it’s like my two mommas always said… you can put tits on a bull but you can’t expect a Jeep owner to understand class even if the MIL-XT is staring em in the face.
Still running a shit and bender ?

In a world of compromises , some don’t.

Yea love those sb dtii+ turrets man and the msr2 and lrr reticles. Sold off the zco's as I got tired of compromising on the elevation turret lock and the reticle...
I heard you got beat by an impact….
I got beat by everyone there considering I only shot the 2nd day of a 2 day match.
and my year consisted of 1 bolt gun match in Jan and feb and a semi auto match in august. With pretty much zero range time the whole year
ZCO brought me a top 5 finish in the semi auto match tho
All this talk about “apropos scope for AI” suddenly got me wondering…do the Brits even make scopes any more? Like, upon their wee island?
Love the Brits, just also love to write “wee” lol

The only appropriate sight for an AI is a set of Magpul BUIS Pros. Fuckin plebs.
I'm left eye dominant so a paper towel roll works best for me. YMMV
I carry an extra one in a Ziplok in my pack in case it rains...
No, it's a wrong rifle. Get rid of it (sell it to me) and look for an AWSM in 338 Lapua. That one was in Counter Strike.
Does this mean he’s required to get a Harris and toss the Atlas? I mean it’s in the game….
It does not, unfortunately the only option is to switch the chassis entirely. Here's a couple photos of mine compared to a new one, 8 bolts on either side vs two in the middle
Sending both my Gen 3 Razors in for elevation turret/parallax knob upgrade.
And picked up a NF 7-35x56 ATACR to take one of their places.
