Every single one of the two matches I’ve shot at Frontline have been beautiful.
That one was beautifully windy towards the end of the day lol.
What squad? I'll bring my AT out next time you go.
Like @hafejd30 said, the main purpose is to allow more vertical adjustment in the rear. By squeezing the bag, you have certain range of adjustment, and by moving the bag for-backward, an angled rider gives you about 4in of additional adjustment.
If you load the bipod with your body, you will at the same time sort of load into the bag as well. And with the butt pad making a solid connection to your body, the rifle shouldn't really recoil back to tilt the muzzle up and mess up your sight picture. At least in my experience.
That said, still need to go to the range and test it out, and I may also try a flat version to compare the two.
Didn't realize you were in NC, was a hell of a windy day albeit wasn't shooting. AT east coast gang
Raleigh myself, need to setup a shoot then. With non matching skins.
I think you mentioned shooting together last time I went as well, sorry for dropping the ball and not reaching out. I was on Squad 2, it was a great group!
Finally got her home. Chambered in 6.5 creedmoor. Arken EP5, Tier 1 rings with Atlas bipod and spigot.
All good bud! I took the TRG out for that match. Needed a shake down event.
That looks great. What material did you print with?Midway had a Red AT-X in 6.5CM at good price, impulse buy and now it's sitting next to me.
I always liked angled bag rider, so I can adjust the rifle not only via squeezing the bag, but also by moving the bag front and back. The bottom is smooth enough to easily slide the bean bag forward band backward to adjust height, yet has enough friction to hold the rifle in place how you left it.
They are printed with Nylon 12 powder on SLS printer, I just made a flat one as well. If there's enough interest, I can put it on my site for purchase as well.
And a can ya barbarian

Peak suppressor dealer right there
He is for bipods, pic rails and 7axis Dremel supplies
Getting terrible at shooting here in my twilight years. Hunting rifle doing all the work as usual
I hope seasons open in August lll be up there for a week lol
Sooo here is the assembled Accuracy International 1.5 Legacy AICS chassis after refurbishment. Got a new fresh "paint" and new bolts to bring it back to its factory new state. Really happy with the end result :-DSo I did a thing and it worked out pretty decent.
I was able to snatch an Accuracy International AICS 1.5 Legacy chassis at a killer price(450 dollars). It had some years under its belt and was kind of rough and had the most insanely solid spraypaint on it initially. Bolts were also mostly chewd to bits… The alu-chassis was in prestine condition, other than som dust, but the panels needed som work. Nothing worked(aceton etc) to remove the paint, so I had to use more heavy tools to get it back to its original color. Im like 100% i will rattlecan it further down the road but I wanted to bring back to life the original color as a base atleast. Fortunate to have glass-blasting equipment available, and that work like magic. The final pieces are still curing(kind of shiny in wet fase) so will update again when they are fully cured

It’s the L3 PAL. Similar to storm SLX except has AB/Link and a 200mw VCSEL illuminator
I finally got around to putting this one together last night. This is a 20” AT with the Schmidt and Bender 6-36. Taking it out on Thursday after work to sight it in and get some rounds down range.
looks like L3 SPEAR
Small Precision Enhanced Aiming Rangefinder (SPEAR)
Delivers extended-range performance and features an integrated ballistic calculator for improved first-round hit probability.
ES is definitely the best base color for painting.
Just finished a seating depth test for my 300 NM with 250 ATips and 91gr of RE50 at 2901 fps.
This 300NM barrel shot below 0.6 MOA for the first time, but it had 2 groups in the 0.3s, 3 in the 0.4-0.5, and 1 group at 0.11 MOA, which is what I finished at. I may have to load a few more rounds to confirm I'm in the middle of an accuracy node, but mostly, I just want to load that seating depth and start gathering data.

Happy to see you back but please get that POS barrett bag rider off that perfect rifle.....
Similar to the SPEAR just made for Sniper Role vs Squad Weapon Role. Has a better illuminator and a little tighter beam divergence on LRF plus a couple other small features.looks like L3 SPEAR

I knew it would ruffle some feathersHappy to see you back but please get that POS barrett bag rider off that perfect rifle.....
don’t worry the sawtooth bagrider is on the way. Just grabbed this off a work gun for the meantime
Very cool. Other than being left hand that’s almost identical to how mine will be set up. Got the same suppressor etc. even the same bag lol. I plan to krylon it when I get scope mounted too. Hope mine shoots that good.
Yea I know the L3's range finder wavelength is much higher then most mil spec wmrf. 1570nm vs 1550nm. My Raptar S is 1550nm. You have a nice and rare unit there my friend..
It's a good choice of gear. AXSR w/ TBAC 338SR U, TBAC bipod, atacr 7-35, vortex impact and AG game changer schmedium. I don't know how you manage without a can cover, I live in a warm climate and covers are a necessity and barrel cooling fans help.
I got to play around some more tonight with the AW and the AXMC. It’s a 20” AW. Can’t wait to shoot this one.
I typically use a Modtac M2010 shield on my 338 Ultra SR with the 308 Win, but have had it shift under recoil with the 300 NM. I do need to pick up a new cover for the suppressor. It was 77* when I was shooting today, it's too hot this early.
Velocities in the log book since I was doing some load development that day. And earlier before load dev, I was shooting an already developed load so I have a simple range card written out on my cheat sheet that I was using so I can engage different targets without having to pull out a kestrel or phone each time to check the elevation.
Midway had a Red AT-X in 6.5CM at good price, impulse buy and now it's sitting next to me.

I just got all the hardware for final assembly and put it on the webstore: https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/rear-bag-rider-for-ai-at-x-axmc.7213912/
I have two different variants for AT-X and AXMC, I think the AXMC version should work on AXSR/AXSA, but if you have one of those and willing to do some measurement for me, I'd be happy to send you one free of charge!
