The problem is I have a AT with green thumbholes in 308. That gun is a “let’s shoot some fucking deer, fuck the cold” type weapon
Then the ATX. Which is more of a “I want to be a 6.5 CM” “I don’t like the cold” “I dabbled with being a 308 in college” type gun.
Well its a 2 lug 90 degree action, which I always assume the tradeoff is gonna be a light slick smooth bolt, but this thing has this godawful hitch on close, and even with this 50/50 cock setup, I dont find it exceptionally light. Its the most recent action I bought, and I cant say Id take it over anything else in the safe being - Mausingfield, Nucleus, Archimedes, Coup de Grace, Deadline 2, Badger M2013, Zeus, Kelbly Atlas Tac, and the AI of course. The way everyone on SH sucks em off I thought I was gonna be blown away.
Unless you must have the ability to buy 10000 used prefits from the PX, I dont see the point.
Well I guess I finally get to post in here. Followed some advice I'd seen from other members and sold off my AX and AT chassis for a pre-14 AX in 6.5 cm here on the Hide. This will be my hunting setup and hopefully PRS setup in 2024.
I'm going to slum it up for a little while with my old school NXS 3.5-15 with NP-R2 reticle while I figure out a new optic.
Anyone have any pictures of an AX wearing an NX8? Particularly the 2.5-20.

I've been shooting a 260 gasser since '17 and went 260 for my AXSA. Better neck angle, better velocity, can form from 308 brass if needed (I use Lapua and Norma 260 brass), I've never run into a situation when I needed to load longer and always felt 6.5 was flavor of the day.
On the weekend just gone down here in Australia we had our club/state Finale for Precision Rifle Queensland.
After a while away from PRS type shooting competitions since before 2020 I set myself a goal for a Top 10 finish for the season. I achieved just that, coming in at 10th with my AT-X in 6 Creedmoor.
Consistency in shooting is paying off. Hopefully next year I can improve that result.

badass, congrats on the top 10 finish. That’s harder than people make it sound.
Painted my 308 barrel and the scope/mount today. This is the first time I had the balls to paint a optic lol
Thanks @VSP968 very helpful
Thae chassis i'm looking at is the newer type.
I incorrectly assumed you could buy a hinge and add it to the AT.
Might have to break out a hammer and blowtorch to convert it and run the AT chassis on the bergara 22 trainer...
A decent showing of AT-X's in our club. Interestingly, all three of us finished the season in the top 10 with the owner of the red one actually winning the season.
Getting my kit sorted for this weekends match. Will be my last of the year and I'm feeling like it's all going to come together

Curious to hear your thoughts on the ELR bipod vs the ATACView attachment 8284451

He forgot his pack of condoms, when you win a match with an AI, gorgeous women throw themselves at you with reckless abandon.
Never! Still a few things I "need"
ELR is obviously more competition focused than the ATAC. It's good. Tightening enough to lock out all the cant can be difficult but not as bad as on the ATAC. Certainly a good option if you can justify the extra few hundred for a Ckyepod. I've got a Gen 1 ELR. I'm working on getting the newest Gen to try that.
I won't be winning that's for sure. Maybe Limited Division I might! Does that count?
How do you like the plate? Been kicking around the idea of one for bag work, but the extra width doesn’t seem appealing. Then again, I double stacked ATX weights, so I’m already longitudinally compromised.
i use the plate a lot on barricades when i'm not using the bipod. the plate works great because i can attached my bag right to it.
it has its places. Has always been appealing to me so got one after getting smoked on a bus stage. Otherwise I still prefer them separate under most circumstances
i also got screwed up on a bus stage they had the windows partial closed . i shouldn't have used it or ditched it when i saw the windows. No one was allowed on the bus before the stage.
Just a heads up fellas, price increasing on some AI stuff is taking effect today. Barrels, chassis, etc. Guns and other items going up after first if the year. For guys on the fence, time is now before we see another $500 jump on SRs.
I was curious because I had an ELR that, in messing with it, just didn't really jive with the way I use a bipod for PRS. I've sent it back and been considering an ATAC instead. Definitely appreciate the info!
I was gonna say, $10,400 for an AXSR was starting to feel too low
Maybe Garmin will come out with a multicaliber rifle and AI will suddenly revert to 2017 pricing
Nobody's perfect. I actually like British food...Hey!... I was made in England
Did it "start in the shed"?Hey!... I was made in England
I must say, Garmin put one of the best buy’s of this year with the Xero. Simple, reliable, portable, without inflation. And they’ll still selling like hotcakes.
Im loving shooting 6 creedmoor through it for PRS comps. What are people doing to get BR variants working well in their AT-X? Is it worth going to 6 GT?
Im running 108gr ELDM fast at 3158fps
AX mags with HRD gears 6mm mag kits have worked well for me in an AX and ATX with zero issues for 6BR
I was just putting together my new AI AT and I was installing the thumbhole stock and I think one of the screws is missing and maybe the washer. Does anyone know the specs on the screw and confirm that the washer is missing? I bought it from sporting services in the UK some years ago. Who would I need to contact for the screw and possible washer? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you
I had nothing but problems with AW mags (tried all 9) with HRD spacer kits and Lapua 6BR brass with 108ELDM. Probably an 80% stoppage rate (At least one stoppage out of each magazine, generally towards the last few when spring tension was easing off). It was amazingly accurate, easy to shoot but feeding from double stack mags didn't work.
Now with the 6GT, Alpha brass, 110gr ATIP' it's maybe a 0-5% stoppage rate per magazine (From the couple of hundreds of rounds fired, it's maybe had 2 or 3 hiccups, which were probably at least partly my fault short stroking). Without spacers. Absolutely a different kettle of fish. Running them at 2830fps, not pushing them at all. I think 6CM is too fast for our ranges, 6BR didn't feed, the 6GT is a good in between with plenty of gas left in the tank if needed for hand loading.
I heard he's living with some poors terminus trying to get aw mags to actually work lol... Imagine going from running aw mags flawlessly... To well... Not
sorry @Krob95 you are welcome back any time homie
Nah fam he got too good for us. He can stay over thereI heard he's living with some poors terminus trying to get aw mags to actually work lol... Imagine going from running aw mags flawlessly... To well... Not
