It's hard for me to justify any model besides an AT. I can build a custom with whatever parts I want for a lot less. An AXMC would be a fantastic rifle to have in 300 norma.

I like 338 LM but same bolt body...maybe someday.

I bought the AXMC to complement the AT because it could fire everything. Little did I know that it could fire everything only if you are RH. I would have never bought it if I knew that I could not buy the accessories necessary to really make it a multi-caliber platform

past the time to do it and I'm not really one for lawsuits BUT it almost sounds like a suit would get some traction. Company advertises and releases half the parts but not the other half to do as advertised....idk...hungry enough lawyer and you would probably have at least gotten your money back. That is some BS.

For the cost the new multical AIs are going for you could literally build 2 dedicated rifles. Only thing extra you would be out is a 2nd scope.

They definitely dropped the ball on that. I could see getting the AXMC at the price you did. Now when a folder AT is $5200 and the AXSR is 11k...hard pill to swallow. Frankly I think the AXMC is a bit better looking than the AXSR as well.

The new AT-XC with it's cut down action and blast discs, are a nice subtle update.
The new 'enlarged' bolt knob is even bigger?

Having been running an AT-X since the pre-production model came out, I have a list of feedback for AI if they are interested. There are still some gaps in the market that keep people away from crossing over to these rifles from custom builds.

Nah...Suing them would do nothing other than waste my money. They are overseas and protected.

I love both of my AI rifles even though I can't use one of them to its fullest potential. I view it as being uncharacteristically sloppy on my part. I won't buy another AI and would never advocate an LH person buying one.

Not a fan of the AXSR. It wouldn't be $11K for LH shooters.

To make it foolproof and avoid the problems I have had, you would need to buy all of the bolt bodies and a spare FP assembly now since long-term support for parts is highly unlikely. Why would that change? When you factor in the spare parts and caliber conversions, it would be a $13-14K purchase.

You would have to be an idiot to buy one if LH. If you're right-handed, go for it.

Barret MRAD is fugly as hell but last time I was at the range I saw 5 of them and they were impressive
Click to expand...
mrad would be my current pick for a multical platform if I was to ever get one. I fondled one quite a few years back and it was honestly pretty nice. With MIL contracts here in the states I think parts availability would be a lot better than AI. If only AI used their tried and true trigger instead of their POS comp trigger.

Comp trigger sucks elephant dick IMHO. The original OEM trigger is one of the best ever made by any company.

I would consider a Barrett but they don't offer a LH model

Shot a sneaky 49/50 over 6 windy stages at our club match on the weekend with the AT-X in 6GT.
Shot these 10 over the chrono at the end of the day. 220 rounds only on this barrel with virgin Alpha brass at 2857fps (SD 5).

GT runs much better than the 6BR for feeding. No mag spacers needed with GT, huge boost in reliability and confidence.

The big question, in all seriousness is, are we fooked with spare parts to keep the gun up? Are they still gonna be able to fix them if something breaks if discontinued?

Triggers are in the atx and the receiver/bolt are the same. Aside from chassis parts I can't see what isn't going to continue in production. Still might wait 9+ months but you'll get it 😅

Yes. There is an entire LE market still using and running the ATs. So AI has to continue making parts and supporting departments using these rifles. They're still doing the same for AE and AW rifles that LEOs are still using.

End of an era. Prices are now in a range i am not longer willing to pay. Fortunately enough i got my AW and AWSM. The AT was a reasonable option for people not willing to spend 10 000+ and still have a bulletproof rifle.

Curious if i will be able to find an affordable AWM in germany. Time will tell. Right now i am with Sako from now on when it comes to recommending precision rifles to people starting with long range shooting. Always favoured the AT for that.

TRG/AI was always on par for me with the AI being slightly more robust due to the internal chassis reaching to the very end of the stock. Both shoot equally well. Kudos for Sako still producing the traditional TRGs. Would be the same move to keep the A1 model and discontinue the green stock. Same rifle just 8000 instead of 4500...

If Zombieapocalypse happens, there is only one rifle i will pull out of the safe with 110% confidence though. Thats my AIAW in 308.

Cheers

why not a fan of axsr? you mean you like the axmc better? or just generally salty about lack of support for LHers? (which i totally understand)

Here I was hoping they’d step up the AT line and make it factory available with a thumbhole stock. Instead they axe it completely. Sad for those of us who like the traditional AW style the best

Being these are replacing the AX 308 models I’ll assume the price will reflect that of a modernized AX and less of a price reflecting a modern ATX. Just going to guess instead of a price around $5.5-$6k it’ll be more like $8k. Especially the mil version if civilians can even get that

Really sucks the AT isn’t going to be an option for those who can’t drop over $5k on an AI. The px especially was always friendly to those people.

My AT just got more valuable to me. Now that prices will likely increase on the used market and accessories like the thumbhole will I’m sure go completely to the wayside for availability

The new action rail/cutout really stood out to me on the new XC... End of an era. I'm torn, these don't look terrible but nothing will ever match the sex appeal of an old AW in my eyes.

"Reduced operating effort"- Does that mean no more 12# bolt lift when you flex on the poors?

AI website lists choice of AI standard or comp trigger. I wonder if those are going to be factory options with different skus, or just another optional extra.

I like my AXMC better and also would never buy another AI LH rifle unless all of the options were available at the time of purchase. There is no support for LH shooters

fortunately, all 3 bolts and spare firing pin assemblies are all in stock in LH for axsr.
what about the axmc do you like better?
 
#16,940
It does surprise me how the new rifles are over $11k. But the AXMC have a hard time selling for $6800-$7000 on the used market. With spare bolts and what not

I wonder if the ATX will see a similar fate on the previous 1-3 gen models. Being there’s a much more modern replacement for it

I still think the AT will hold value. Being they’re more directly compared to the previous AW models than to current AI rifles. Been laughing at those $5000 used AT’s in the px. By the end of the year a thumbhole AT will likely be pricing up there.

To me the true AI rifle will always be an AW or AT thumbhole. Green in color

I haven't been keeping up on used AXMC prices but the prices you quote may be accurate for a RH model. I have seen LH MCs with multiple bolts going for higher prices than that. If I saw an LH MC with the 300WM bolt body, I'd consider buying it for just that bolt and then sell everything else that I don't need

It always comes down to finding someone who wants what you have.

Ahh that makes sense. I actually like the trigger safety and grip better on the SR but I wish they could have kept epoxy bedding.

AI needs to do a AW throwback special limited edition of the AT with thumbhole skins as a one time deal next year. Make like 200 of them with cases tshirts etc.

I’m comparing AXMC to AXSR. Same as NikH would be upgrading to in order to get the LH options. Basically selling a used AXMC with bolts for $7k and cost is double that to upgrade to AXSR for the same needs. Just LH in his case

Both do the same thing with essentially only a few minor more modern features.

My comment was in regards to future prices on previous gen 1-3 ATX models. If they’ll share the same fate. Especially with the action update

I’m guessing the new ATXC will be priced a bit less than the AX 308 it’s replacing. About $7500-8k. But that’s only a guess

Can you buy a .473 bolt and have it machined to the magnum case head? Like guys are doing for AT/ATX/AX rifles to run WSM and 6.5 PRC
