I disagree with the balance point. To sit on a bag, my Axsr has weights to get the balance where I want it. Just prone shooting, not needed.@hafejd30
Starbridge,
The AXSR is easily moveable with a 26” steel AI 6.5CM barrel (and hellfire match brake) so an 18” CF with a can will be no issue unless you have a physical impairment. My PRS barrel is a 24” 308 with a hellfire match, and it’s very easy to move around.
I pretty much only run short action rounds in my AXSR with the only magnum (so far) being 300PRC. I have yet to get enough free time to scout areas in southern AZ where I can really get to play with the PRC so my AI pretty much lives in 65CM or 308. …and why I haven’t dropped the cash on a 300NM barrel.
The long action vs short action throw isn’t an issue and isn’t noticeable after the first range session. I know you didn’t ask about that but figured I’d chime in with it.
I’d say get the AXSR if funds aren’t an issue, especially if you’re going to have access to a range with that capability. Very easy to maneuver and it just shoots really damn well. Me not so much
Oh and the balance of the rifle is just perfect without the addition of weights and whatnot.
Ah. I’m happy with my balance point but I’m running a 24” 308 barrel. I’m not running any additional accessories though.
What rangefinder is that ?
Hmm. Looks differen t when mounted sideways.
No not yet
What ya really need is an AI .223 that you've never used once like me, haha!
I shoot a lot of 223/556 (mostly gus gan matches) so i would love a 223 boltI don’t really shoot 223 much, but I sure do want an AT in 223
So I like my impact personally. But I think the terminus is slicker imho
HolyFuck !
Flame on
I ended up going with an impact because the consensus from match shooters in my area was they resist sand and dust better than some 700 clone actions. Which is a big deal for my location.
Just a data point if the Spuhr also disappoints. My KRG W3 isn’t resonate-y, but keep in mind I’m shooting 204. Not sure if caliber makes much of a diff but there you have it.
My ACC Premier doesn’t twang at all but it has Magpul M-LOK Rail Covers, Type 1, covering every empty MLOK slot.
Well, if I don't like it, it wont stay around. I did play with the ATX aics chassis' while I was there and they were nice.
I've got probably 200 rounds through it and it's pretty harmonically dead on par with my AXSR. I've also got it feeding out of AW mags reliably, which nice.
Surprisingly, I have shot a number of ACC premier builds and didn't notice any twang with them compared to what I experienced with the elite.
Just stumbled across this comment, why do you prefer the MSR2 over a Christmas tree Reticle? Ive been debating on an MSR2 or an SCR2 Reticle
I’ve grown rather fond of pics of the Mpct3x, the one without the ram’s head ranger thing on top. Not dismissing the ram-thing’s utility, it’s just that I wouldn’t use it.
I think it looks like something else…but if a sheep is what comes to mind when you see it by all means
Some in general don’t like the clutter of tree reticles. Others find it easier to spot misses without the extra reticle as well especially in ELR or long range .22 where misses are hard to spot already
Thanks a lot pal! Now I’ll never unsee that! LolI think it looks like something else…but if a sheep is what comes to mind when you see it by all means
I like my 3x, if I need to know the range of the target I read it off the sign at the flat range or use a laser.
First thing I thought was, I had to sketch that more than a few times in college.I think it looks like something else…but if a sheep is what comes to mind when you see it by all means
The Zeus is an awesome action too. If I didn't have an AI and a Tikka build I'd have almost certainly gone with another 60° bolt action. I've really liked the Impact so far, accuracy has been there, AW mags running 100% and I appreciate the light bolt lift and close for barricade work. It's great people have so many excellent options in actions now.
