Dumb question: does anyone actually regret buying an AI?

I can afford an AT currently.

Is the AX chassis that much better?

Nope. I got mine for $3700 with a bunch of extra goodies, and I don't regret it a bit. I do kinda regret selling the AE MK2 I had before in order to afford the AT, though. Would have loved to keep them both!

But I honestly don't feel slighted in the least. I don't really need all the extra adjustability or other doodads on the AX line. I did purchase a target buttplate to get cant and vertical adjustment of the recoil pad, but that was about $90 used. So I'm still around $2K or so under the cost of a used AX. I don't see what could make them worth that much more, in practical application. I love my AT, though!

ETA: @PBWalsh said it right, huge savings while still retaining the sexy thumbhole skins (which I rock, and prefer over the standard skins)!

I regret not doing it sooner. As soon as I took my AIAT out of the box I knew it was the right decision.

 

[drkhrs2]

I have 4 AI’s and all of them are awesome. I will say the current AX chassis is superior to the AT, in my opinion. The adjustability on the AX puts it in a different class than the AT.

Again, just my opinion.

Thanks all for the replies and info and @Sniperstud that is exactly what I wanted to see. Thank you!

What adjustments are you making that you can't or are more difficult to do on an AT? And how often do you make adjustments? I haven't made any adjustments since I mounted the scope on my AT.

Is the AX Chassis better than AT? I think so. Is it $2500-3000 better? To me it wasn't. I still haven't figured out why is the price difference between folder AICS AT and AX chassis $450 but it's $3000 between AIAT and AX rilfes.

I have a Pre 14 AX and an 01 AW. Best rifle purchases I've ever made.

 

[Skimafia]

I cringed when I put the card down for the purchase, but no regrets since then. Actually, I think owning my AT has made me a better person in life.

"But babe, owning this precision instrument has made me a better man! I just need to learn how to transfer that precision to all the other areas of my life, and then I'll be the perfect husband!"

 

[Skimafia]

Something like that! Its probably more of me being happier to have something I really enjoy. When I am happier, I'm nicer to my wife and kids! They get to go with me when I buy ammo, and when I buy reloading stuff- that is quality time with the family.
My wife is happy when I go to the range, because I'm not home. Its really a win for all!

I certainly don't regret buying mine. For my needs, the AX was worth it. I can see how it wouldn't be worth the extra cost to many though.

I ordered an AT. I think it will work out. If not, I’ll trade/sell and upgrade. Thankfully these things seem to hold their value pretty well.

The cost difference between the AT and AX was pretty much enough for me to fund my Vudoo build. Works out well.

Awesome, where did you get the AI skull sign?

 

[Dthomas3523]

Anyone running an ingenuity Gunworks rail on their AT? I’ve seen them on AX. I currently run them on my jae’s and love them.

Curious as to the fit and function on an AT.

......I hate you all. My AT order is on hold while I debate on the AX.

I have an AT. The only part of the AX That interests me is the stock. The AX stock can be swapped to the AT.

 

[CRT2]

300 Win Mag 230 gr Berger Target Hybrid 3 rounds at 102 yds, .23 in. group. The rifle is accurate. I'm normally a 1 MOA shot. Zeroed for 200 gr ELD X.

......I hate you all. My AT order is on hold while I debate on the AX.

If you're considering an AX might as well go whole hog and get the AXMC.

 

[PBWalsh]

I mean, its only $1,000 more, plus conversion kits.

That AI crown jewel sex factory tho... in sage green obviously.

 

[Luvman]

... in sage green obviously.

Everybody knows pale brown is the best AI. Peanut Butter master race and all!!!

 

[PBWalsh]

Ehh depends where you live, if I was in the midwest or further I’d completely agree with you. In the southeast (Alabama) sage green just makes way to much sense. PB would shimmer like gold amongst the green canopy that envelops the southeast.

 

[Deadman Pointers]

It is a bit heavy for a hunting rifle, but it is my go to now for elk.

PB or DE is best choice in the East as you get older and eyesight deteriorates - easier to find when you set it down to rest.

Joking aside, I bought my AXMC at the ripe old age of 71 and I've enjoyed the he'll out of it . It is "handsome", accurate and we'll balanced. Now I need to get a 1/9 twist barrel so I can achieve the full potential of the 230 gr Berger Target Hybrids.

 

[sjc929]

One of the screws for my Spuhr mount got stripped, and I figured I’d use the opportunity to make an upgrade. The only hardware place near me is Lowe’s, and they didn’t have any M5x35 screws, so I found a place called Bolt Depot online. They have these screws that use the same 4mm hex head that the AT and AX use, so now my Spuhr uses the same bit as the rest of my AX screws. These screws don’t need any modification to work on the Spuhr. Thought I would pass this on in case anyone else wanted to do this and didn’t have any good local sources to get them.

100M .308 155 Lapua Scenars today, 44.7 Grains Vhit N540, 71mm COL. This is a very accurate rifle......I'm still a relative novice. It makes me feel unworthy when I get a flier.........

 

[trob_205]

Shot the 6.5 AX out to 700 today to start gathering some dope. What a shooter this thing is! This is my “starter load” for this rifle. I might go a bit higher and lower and load in the middle of the node in case this is on one end but holy hell. I typically like load development so some of the fun was taken out of it ?
Lapua Brass, 140 ELD .020 off the lands, 41.5 gr H4350, and CCI 450 primers. Based on the tartget I posted earlier and the one group i shot today the rifle shoots in the .2s. Hoping maybe for a bit of speed increase here the next couple 100 rounds. There’s 102 on it now.

 

[The Durk]

Ok so quick question. I’ve got about 30 days before I have the money saved up for an AT. Is the sage green as bright in person as in photos, or is it a much darker forest type green like the old AW rifles? I know some colors don’t come out well on digital cameras. My SR-15 looks purple when I take photos of it with my DSLR camera. I’m still debating on if I want to go sage green or pale brown.

Sage green is an AX color, not available on the AT. It is in fact lighter then the standard green available on the AT.

Is this typo on Euro?

[The Durk]

That’s exaclty what I wanted to hear. I like the darker greens on AI’s.

 

[Bkultra]

I would call EO and confirm, but I've always assumed they were different. They certainly appear to be different based on the pictures.

 

[1fliride]

Awesome pics

 

[1fliride]

Beautiful rigs

 

[Movistar]

Yes I believe that is a type-o on Europtic. Notice the SKU, it says FOGRN which is the foliage green not the sage green...

 

[OzzyO20]

I love my AT. Only thing I can foresee is getting a sage green AX SA and giving my fiancé/wife (depends on when) my AT for PRS.

 

[Movistar]

I bought my AXMC used, from the PX, here on the Hide. It had the 13” forend and 30 MOA rail on it when I got it. Here it is with the AX308 I sold to fund it for comparison.

View attachment 6978127

@Sniperstud are those a 20 inch on the MC and 18 inch on the AX?

 

[Sniperstud]

Yes. I had MHSA cut the original barrel to 18" when I bought it. The AXMC came with the 20" barrel.

The cerakote job is amazing! But it drives my OCD crazy to see a scope mount installed where one of the mounting clamps is in between the action rail and the forend rail...looks like you have the room to move the mount one picatinny slot backwards, and still maintain the exact same scope position.

 

[Heretoimproveforhunting]

finally got a chance to toss a scope on it. . .

 

[Dthomas3523]

I will have a green AT later this week. I’ll try to get pics representing the color.
