Is that a Leupold on that ATX?
Thanks for the essayYour 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.
For those who almost lost their eyesight after all those Remingtons, Leupolds and new era AI.
This is for you![]()

If you just buy a real AXSR it comes with the rest for freeCrazy question.. if I was to buy a chassis say, AXSR/A Is it feasible to build a rifle from that point on? I'm just curious.
So, you’d buy a take-off AXSA chassis…and then what? Where would you get an AI action cheap enough where it would make financial sense?Crazy question.. if I was to buy a chassis say, AXSR/A Is it feasible to build a rifle from that point on? I'm just curious.
If you have the cash, buy the AXSR. If you don’t have THAT much cash, buy the ATX.Crazy question.. if I was to buy a chassis say, AXSR/A Is it feasible to build a rifle from that point on? I'm just curious.
Others here have the $9895 - $11,169 (EuroOptic) for an AXSR or the $4250 - $5250 for an AT-X; not including tax. Not everyone has that kind of disposable income. The others have correctly stated if your goal is a real AI rifle, then buy a real AI rifle. If the goal is something to build up to as you can afford in the end, unfortunately, AI does not support such a piecemeal approach and wants you to go all in, money-wise (eBay does have AI action-specific chassis that are hard to sell because people tend to go for the Remington clone AI chassis options instead).Crazy question.. if I was to buy a chassis say, AXSR/A Is it feasible to build a rifle from that point on?

Saw that. Always browsing GB for a AE I can pick up cheap but here we are... more expensive than both my AIs combined.View attachment 8326144
These consistently sell for more than they ever retailed for. No amount of communication to AI ever seems to convince them of the amount of money they are losing by not continuing to offer a legacy version.
I'm so damn proud of you guys..... Life keeping me way busy and I come back to people cracking Leupold jokes for me and shit like this.
.. keep driving on gbpse committee

Includes the scope and what not. Still seems high though$5100 for a non folder AE Mk2? When did AE prices go crazy?
I bought one of my AE Mk3 folders new from Mile High for about $4250 and the other one used from the PX here for about $3600. Sold them both for $3500 or so when I upgraded to ATs, but that was quite a few years ago now.
Soon after the AT was released (at a much lower price than the AW) I remember watching quite a few AEs selling in the PX in the high $2k range, and at least one without a barrel in the low $2k range...

This makes sense unless you want to shoot something like 6BR…. AXSR won’t do that. I know this because I have an AXSR, but had to buy a second gun to shoot the gamer calibers I wanted to shootIf you have the cash, buy the AXSR. If you don’t have THAT much cash, buy the ATX.
But don’t buy an AX/SR/ATX chassis and put a 700 footprint in it. It isn’t worth the time and money you’ll waste building out something that’s only a few hundo less than an ATX. I wasted my time with that and other rifles…when I should have just went full AI years ago. Best firearm decision I ever made was getting the AXSR.
That auction company is 15 minutes from me. They have a large audience now and a lot of their stuff goes for too much money.View attachment 8326144

I had the same vortex viper pst. One thing I liked about it is the weightSeller writes:
“Vortex Viper 6-24x50 scope. The scope has some light handling marks. The scope has an EBR-1 MOA reticle. The reticle can be illuminated but the battery is dead and we do not have one to test.”Looks like the Gen I pst. That shit is vintage, boys (with warfighter scope bite). W/out the scope that gun is worth$1500$50 tops.
Mine has a folder but I do have to fold to remove the bolt. Hits the cheek pieceCan the bolt be removed on a non folder AT without removing the cheek piece?
No. The cheek piece can't be pushed far enough back to clear - it's either got to come out, or do the folder. Do the folder. It's worth it.Can the bolt be removed on a non folder AT without removing the cheek piece?
This. Folder and thumbhole buttstock conversion plus the Anarchy thumb rest is the kingNo. The cheek piece can't be pushed far enough back to clear - it's either got to come out, or do the folder. Do the folder. It's worth it.
Separately, I'm liking the look of carbon.

I'm kind of been lusting for an AT with the thumbhole skins for the artic warfare look but with quick change barrels.This. Folder and thumbhole buttstock conversion plus the Anarchy thumb rest is the king

I get the sads everytime I see these pics and remember I sold my AT.Speaking from experience, do yourself a favor and buy the folder.
You wont regret it.
The US models are Bartlein on factory guns. Can get Bartlein and proof from mile high. Or have one spun up by several smiths. I have Manzella making a 260 barrel for my ATX right nowThats perfect! So who's making the barrels for AI now? I've heard bartlein is making the oem barrels but if you go on mile high I see they offer what they call a factory barrel and then specifically a bartlein. Is it just marketing? I've also heard Lothar walther thrown around.
Wintac machines them from Bartlien blanks.Thats perfect! So who's making the barrels for AI now?

So which guns are considered US models? I thought everything was from the UK. Are you saying that just the rifles sold for the US market are bartlein barrels with everything else being from the UK?The US models are Bartlein on factory guns.

The one on my AT above is Lother Walther

I remember reading the UK models for the most part get LW barrels. The models shipped here are shipped without barrels. Wintac spins up the barrels for the rifles here. Out of Bartlein blanks. That may have changed but that’s what I recallSo which guns are considered US models? I thought everything was from the UK.

I had thought it was a LW barrel for the advertised for say a AT in 20, 24 and 26" 308 barrels. Anything outside that was a bartlein/etc. If I remember right all of the factory 308 barrels I've had were LW.I remember reading the UK models for the most part get LW barrels.

I think there's a lot more US manufacturing going on for the US models. It's probably easier to manage import regulations that way. Chassis machined at Wintac, triggers supplied from XSTP, blanks machined at Wintac. Actions from England and maybe some other small parts. Then assembled by either Wintac or AINA. For all other countries I think most everything comes from England with LW blanks and I'd guess XSTP triggers in the AT-X.I remember reading the UK models for the most part get LW barrels.

Supports what I had understoodMy AT308 20” bought new came with an LW barrel.
Extra 6.5cm barrel purchased through MileHigh is a Bartlein.

Here’s where I got that info. May be just the ATX in 6.5 now that I looked again. Came across it looking at options for my ATXSupports what I had understood
My comment wasnt really directed AT you but just on the topic in general...I've always seen conflicting things and honestly I dont truly know myself.Here’s where I got that info. May be just the ATX in 6.5 now that I looked again. Came across it looking at options for my ATX

Does anyone have any idea what time frame we are looking at for chassis? Wish they would have gotten this out before I bought my AX last year.www.snipershide.com
I tagged the guys who would know and maybe they’d share that info but I don’t knowMy comment wasnt really directed AT you but just on the topic in general...I've always seen conflicting things and honestly I dont truly know myself.
His comment on the ATX is interesting. Thought I had a pic of my factory AX 308 barrel but I dont...I could have sworn it was a LW barrel. I have a factory 308 from another AX but its painted, I'll have to break out the acetone and see what I can find later.
I'm not sure my curiosity can wait for them to get out of SHOTI tagged the guys who would know and maybe they’d share that info but I don’t know
Wait for a reply before you strip your rifle![]()
I’m sure I’m incorrect in my statement. I do have both LW and Bartlein and always have been impressed with both.I'm not sure my curiosity can wait for them to get out of SHOT![]()
