I have used my EI for years with no flex or failure of any kind. It works as well today as it did when new.The elite iron works until the mount starts to flex and bend and the ring starts to contact the barrel....
The correct term I believe you are looking for is , Remington 700 in a aics chassis ... Not awm
Did you buy the lightweight or panning model or the regular one? How you can get it to flex is beyond me.
Bought an MDA Ckye Pod recently and I am also pretty impressed with that one.
Ok.
If using the elite spigot on a AWM.
With minimum offset
And a PILE of abuse.
You might be able to bend it
But you ain’t bending the quick detach one like on my ATX
No f ing way. Bedsides it would hit the top of handguard abs stop before hitting barrel

It wasn't mine it was @Mr. F 's however I did inspect it and it was bending and flexing from the steel that came from the mount to the ring. I also shot it and watched it move poi when the ring came in contact with the barrel
Only way to tell is to pin gauge the fp hole on the bolt or it you have another SFP see how much clearance there is around the tip when it's protruded
Looks large to me eyeballing it tho
Looks large. But check. What year rifle?
Guessing a 14 or 15. Your numbers about 600 later than my 2014 AT which is large
I’d say that is a LFP body.
Pull the firing pin assembly and put calipers to the firing pin.
Here is my SFP bolt head for comparison. Pretty clear difference.
So I need to upgrade my bipod to something more sturdy and adaptable than a Harris.
What is the going consensus from the esteemed members of this establishment on a good all around general purpose bipod that plays nice with ARCA rail? I see lots of options, but have no direct experience with anything but Harris products.
I’ve read through some threads but still can’t make up my mind. Going to live on my AT-X whatever I choose.

I like the Atlas Cal with RRS arca/picatinny mount
Atlas Cal Gen II. I have 2 now. One has the RRS clamp for both Arca and picatinny. Also has the hawk hill talon feet. You can find those in the px. There was one in there a couple days ago
Really this should be its own thread. Already many other threads that most of us here have commented in
In short I’ve owned many Harris (like 6), GGG, Accutac, Atlas and TBAC. I now own 2 Atlas that I use
+1 the spiked feet are the shit
The rubber feet that grab nothing, and the floppy ass tilt on the Harris are definitely two of my biggest complaints with it.
This really should go in its own thread. We all have our preferences based on how we shoot. You’ll get people recommending cyke, atlas, TBAC, elite iron, Accutac and others. Then people who will say go with a tripod. Its going to depend on your intended uses
If you narrow down to two popular models. The Atlas Cal and TBAC I’ll just share my quick preference after using both for a while
The feet rotate on the TBAC. This may or may not bother you. My Atlas doesn’t have as much slop in the legs when extended. Again based on loading the bipod may or may not matter to you. It didn’t bother me
I primarily use mine for crop damage. Shooting deer in farm fields. Bipod spends lots of time in stuff like wet dirt in corn fields and what not. My biggest gripe on the TBAC is the inner portion of the leg extends out when you extend the bipod. Where the atlas it’s the outer portion.
The atlas can be deployed in 4” of mud and it won’t matter. Do that with the TBAC and it will suck dirt inside the leg when you close it after or just drop the height down in the field. Several times it would get gritty in the leg and I’d spring it out several times to clean the dry dirt out of it
Each time I had the TBAC in mud I’d wipe it off before collapsing the leg. But if your still hunting when you do that with mud on it you won’t think of it or want to remove from the gun to do so
I don’t hate the Harris, but I bought like 20 years ago when it was your choice of Harris or some sort of Bass Pro level bullshit.
There’s better options, I’m willing to explore them.
The feet on the Harris roll forward if you try to load it at all. The rifle just rolls away from you. That’s my biggest complaint with it. But the tilt adjustment (assuming you do the Pod-Loc mod) is among the best I’ve used. With a Pod-Loc, the Harris is probably better on the tilt consistency than most others. But the little thumb wheel that comes on a stock Harris to adjust tilt tension is next to useless.
LOL...TBAC...useless....ATLAS...funny
You should up your game with all of those fancy thermals
If you only shoot off dirt spiked feet are awesome. If you shoot off the hood of your truck or your wood deck, get rubber feet.
Harris still works. Honestly it’s fine for everything but movers and crazy match barricades.
Ckye pod is pretty sweet but heavy and 2x more $ than it should be
I have all 3 but mostly prefer atlas

LRA has the 2nd nicest cant after the EI, IMHO. But I haven’t used the Accutac, just Harris, EI, Cal GenII, SCAL, and LRA lite tactical f-class.
Definitely take a hard look at the accutac. Very sturdy and about the only locking mechanism that actually locks your rifle down so it doesn't cant when you don't want it to. The elite iron also locks down well but apparently it's kind of bendy. 
I think he said he shoots blanks.... whatever that means
What is the trick to finding AW magazines?
Do they hit the market and get instantly gobbled up?
Does AI only make them once per year or some other type of schedule?
What is the pattern of life for these things?
I have in stock alerts setup at most of the normal places.
Thank you in advance.

Those are not aw mags.....
They are only making ax style rifles now home skillet... allegedly draw your own conclusions
I wonder if one could grind the lip off AX mags?
The AW fit my ATX so they must close
I’m thinking you’ll see more AW mags. Several aftermarket actions use them now. Or at least I hope
Mil/LE also still available to purchase AT. I can’t imagine they won’t make them
Buy the AW mags with the lip (ax/atx), take dremel with cutoff wheel and put a slit down the center of the "lip". Now take a flat face hammer (jewlers hammer) and beat it flat. I have a few mags I've done this to and they have been running for years.
I was able to pick up 3 in the last month, just checked the places I got them and they are out of stock. It was short action precision and triad tactical so maybe not on your list.
