Dude same here. I picked one up new like 2017 discounted under 2000
Sold it for 4500 summer of 2020

I have had the best performance wth the Berger 175 OTM cartridge out of my AT which has the same 1:12 twist LW barrel albeit 24" length
Usually Fed GMM 175 works real well
Ive had excellent results with Winchester 168match I picked up for under $229 a case and I’m down to a case or so sadly
I took your advice and bought all the AXSR LH bolt bodies and a spare shroud/firing pin. Now all I need is the actual rifle LOL
Our team runs AIAT with 16” barrels and Tbac suppressors and run the 168 TAP.
Great round, never had any problems with it. But the furthest we shoot for training is out to about 800 or so. Not a whole bunch of application in LE realistically even past 300 yards. Haven’t shot out to 1000 with that particular setup.
I think he meant one rifle for each day of the week. But even then I'd say 7 is a little on the lite side.

Can't take it with you might as well have some fun before we are gone
With the way these things are increasing in price, shouldn't be too long and that's a $40k pair there. Very nice.
Not sure it feels right to break up this retro party:
Axsr will be the new retro before long...
Maybe you already have heard of this monopod technique, but others might have not. I was thinking of buying one and ran across this vid:
Father in law wanted to go shooting for his birthday and asked me to bring a rifle. He started talking about getting into it and asked how much a setup would run. Thank God he didn't ask me about this one 
. I think he's learned already.

.... Mine is always telling me how he built his wealth from the ground up.... Still works 10 hours a day and how lazy everyone is. He's 73 said he will be working till he's 85 blah blah blah.... Never sees his grand kids... Never spends time with his wife... drives a POS car that he's proud of for being frugal...Has a shiz ton of money and you would never know till he brags about how hard he works and never spends a dime.One of my hobbies is telling him how I ain't working a day past some year... think I'm down to 45 and his reaction of unapproval is hilarious every time.
I then proceed to tell him how I'll spend the rest of life on vacation with his daughter who will probably still work because she loves her job...shooting my ,"ridiculously" expensive rifles with my kids, and jacking my grandkids up one day on mtn dew and all grandpa's fav treats.
If you ain't going to enjoy the days you got wtf are you doing here? I make no apologies for what I do with my money. I know it can be gone tomorrow but I'm sure as hell am enjoying what the good Lord has blessed me with today. I work hard and understand I am blessed and give back but damn I don't live to work. I work too shoot n boat....

You and me would probably be good friends if we weren't opposite side of the country. I am not working a day past my 60th birthday and likely with saved up sick time months well before that. I work to afford the things I enjoy in life and that's it. Looking at ways to boost passive income and work even less. Only thing I got going til 60 is state retirement and benefits which are pretty nice.Why? Nothing like flexing on the father in law for fun

As for flexing on him, I've done that too hard already haha. He just knows whatever he is shooting is currently too rich for his blood. I told him I was thinking of selling off my m40a6 and he asked what they go for and he damn near fell through my concrete floor.

It'd temporary for greater things. Trying to decide if I custom machine the atlas spigot to get mount my pic atlas cal or buy a tbac or just buy the correct atlas cal nc to screw on.
Im getting a retro, [cool cuz he's old], vibe from the ether (@FUNCTIONAL) - and he has a peanut butter SB scope to boot.

Do old souls count? Because I'm only 36Im getting a retro, [cool cuz he's old], vibe from the ether (@FUNCTIONAL) - and he has a peanut butter SB scope to boot.
. I would like a classic s&b 4-16 for it. Would look really nice.
Yeah 35 is way coolerDo old souls count? Because I'm only 36

You really wanna be cool get a Steiner 3-18 with MSR2 right @Huskydriver

It quickly was given to my kid brother
Hint: elite iron spigot mount and atlas is a winning combo
Mine Came with a Harris too

Negative. Elite Iron with their spigot. ATLAS spigot sucks elephant dick. Or buy a full-length RRS ARCA Rail that is designed for the AT and use a Ckye Pod
Emotion wants me to buy an AT.
Logic won’t let it.
In the area of 60-ish degree two lugs up / one lug down for reliable AW feeding we have the ARC CDG and Aero Solus in addition to AI.
If either ARC or Aero developed a quick change barrel system it would be interesting to watch them compete with AI.

@TheBigCountry @Nik H soooooo.... this?
For a reason I can't fully explain, I just want the whole spigot to be able to come out without tools. Maybe I should repent and just put the EI back in.

Other than that you need an AT.
Yes except get rid of the ATLAS
OR
Get this rail and either an EI or Ckye Pod
BTW, why is the bolt on the wrong side of your rifle?
I did NOT know about running a monopod this style. This is a really good idea. Thank you for sharing this!
That’s the priority we should all be paying attention too.
WE only have so many days with our children. Once they’re gone, They Are Gone!
I continue to enjoy spending time with our one and only son (now 41) Still, I am impressed that just yesterday morning, we put our then 5 year old on the bus for school for the first time.
its Quick Folks, Too Darned Quick, don’t waste a second.

Another amazing foray into what the market will bear...
....when you can buy a real AI for the same price that actually has a firearm...

I understand the Terminus Zeus to be one lug up, two down, unlike AI and Aero and ARC.
Please correct me if I am wrong.

I had one (just the chassis/Kit and the MIRS) and sold it for "what the market will bear" and I have no regrets. 300Winmag is icky.
I debated going off spec and doing 300 norma. I won 100 pieces of peterson 300wm brass though so idk. Still debating what I want to do with this.
I can’t help noticing that this thread and the DTI SRS thread both have 17k posts. That seems like a gross inequity, bordering on crime against humanity.
How can AI have only ten more pages than an AMP DSR-1 clone?

I see the Ryobi air pump so where’s the doll?
I left Suzanne in the truck but on a hot Florida day the air pump is a huge time saver.
Not sure how much info has circulated, but confirmed AT-XC will still use the same barrels from AT, AX, ATX, etc.
Video should start at the AI part:

And the magnum bolt heads are totally happening…but only for the new gen short action
Pics of the Border Patrol version of AT-X (bottom rifle). Along with the kit as it ships. Assuming this is a setup to offering a deployment kit.
And for those wondering about the changes for bolt lift and such, here's a comparison of one area. First pic is the current action. Some would polish this area on the action and where it contacts on bolt handle. To help smooth it out a bit.
Second pic is the new action. Less area (maybe none?) where the bolt handle contacts.

Definitely not. The current action, that spot sits much higher.
That's what they submitted for the contract. Obviously no one but AI knows what they did or did not have ready. But the solicitation submission was months ago or more.
