I’ll humble brag
My wife heard me talk about wanting an AI for a few years
When I had a small windfall, she said “buy yourself the AI”
And I did. And it’s one rifle that will never, ever leave the safe. She’ll probably bury me with the damn thing

They don’t make it anymore. Essentially just a padded non-skid pad that velcros on. I snagged it from a hero here that wasn’t using it.
I'm in the northeast. Likely won't be back down south for awhile. I appreciate the offer though. This community is one of the best out there.
Can anyone show a pic of an AT that has had the AX rear attached (like the service Mile High offers)? Do you like it? Did it make a measurable difference to you?
I head into NY somewhat frequently towards July and later. Not sure how far you are but I usually bring it along minus the fun bits NY would burn me at the stake for.
Well, here’s to the hope that you take it out of the safe.
A gun gets lonely, you know.

Nope, neither has my wife. She has no interest in that crap. The only diamond she owns is the one on her engagement ring, there’s no designer purses or shoes in the closest.
When I was dating I purposely avoided high maintenance women for this reason.
It’s really no different than any other hobby for a woman. I can’t say my wife doesn’t like diamonds and I like buying them. It’s not high maintenance for me any more than I am high maintenance for her. She takes good care of herself and does so much for the family so why not spoil her? She certainly doesn’t demand anything or expect anything. I enjoy it to be honest. To each and their own. But the question was whether a woman can spend the amount of money on their hobbies or interests that a man can and the answer is yes. Strictly speaking though, firearms is a relatively cheap hobbie for lots of men. Racing cars, boats, and car collecting are all infinitely more expensive for the most part. I just think you shouldn’t have to lie to decieve your spouse on what you choose to buy or how much it costs. Just don’t think dishonesty is healthy for a marriage.
AXSR out enjoying its time outside of the safe today.
::waifu nowhere to be seen because she’s out riding horses::
Horses?! And we here talkin'bout rifles being expensive!!! Haha
Exactly.
My AXSR 24” 308 and 26” 6.5 (both stock AI) both balance on a piece of 3/4” ply right in the middle of the “hump” (section in front of the magwell. No added weights. As for the barrel contour, I’m sure someone will chime in with the specs but I’d imagine kind of like an M24/M40 contour.
Just lift weights
If you can bench 275 and work in concrete, you too can manhandle the AI and the 12+lb bolt lift
Exactly.
I don’t know about other SR’s, but my lift isn’t heavy at all. Pretty damn smooth and my 7yr old can run the bolt on it just fine. No idea how it compares to the older style MC/AX/AT lifts.
Is it as smooth as some custom action that slides like a greased up Lizzo down an oil slicked 70 degree angled metal slide in the AZ desert in July? No. But nothings slides that fast.

Well I don't work in concrete but I can easily bench 275, so no issues there. I was more curious how they balance for people using them in various disciplines.
The stock AI contour is a bit heavier than a medium palma. I just measured my factory 308 vs a med palma contour I have on hand.
Look at that sage green AXSR…

What kind of dual-scope mount is that?
Vertical binocular riflescope vision would allow me to shoot while leisurely reclining upon my “range sofa.”
Save me some cheddar vs. Swaro’s BTX.
Is it Cheeto-proof?
@pfl338 makes M30 barrel tennon bore guides. Remove the barrel from the action, screw on bore guide and your ready to go. He sells them on eBay.
Custom Adjustable Bore Saver Rod Guide | J Dewey Rods
deweyrods.com
Dewey custom bore guides are an option that does not require barrel removal.
AI makes a guide for the MC (which fits the SR) if you don’t want to remove the barrel. I use this occasionally but I usually pull the barrel. If you don’t care, get @pfl338 ’s guides. I have the set of three and they’re great.
Anyone here run Hornady 178 BTHP factory ammo out of their 24” AI barrel? If so, what kind of speeds are you getting?
I saw a ax 338 bore guide, is that what id want for the 300wm? There is no 300 wm option
Can you post a link to pfl338s stuff? Tried looking it up but couldn't find it
That’s what I use. Work very well. Also double as thread protectors
In a pinch - The AT / AXSA bore guide also fits the AXSR however is not held in place by the bolt stop so will move around a bit.
Being a 308, it'll work for the WM / PRC.

Man... I guess I'm weird... I just pull the barrel and punch it.....
That works also but the price is right on a screw on 3d printed bore guide so why not.
My first Accuracy International!
After lusting over these rifles for a few years, trying to talk myself out of it and into various versions of a TRG and other rifles a dozen times, I finally pulled the trigger and got an AT.
I’ve got both a 308 and 6.5 barrel for it and both have shot great so far. Working on dialing in my velocity with 175FGMM and Norma 143 GT for the 6.5.
Still working on fine tuning the stock adjustments for me, and waiting on a spigot so I can run a bipod.

Your post had a joke in it? lol
@DKN83 ‘s post seems to imply AT-X rifles are for old folks. I don’t think he was even referencing your joke per se, but responding to just the image of a AT-X.
Yours? No idea.
“The X we have at home” phrase usually seems to mean that here is the inferior version that we have access to. The unattainable original thing is much better.
If your joke is: the “inferior” thing you have is only different than the original thing mainly by color (for example, mint green vs. FDE, or folder vs. non-folder)…
well, uh, ha…ha?
Edit: Or is this a Leupold scope joke? That’s a little funny.
