Poorness just went to another level...

Shot out to distance yesterday. 100 yards or 300 yards, it didn't matter: all the Hornady ammo shot like dogshit. 2-3 MOA level of bad. Federal GMM SMK 175gr it is for the Lothar-Walther 1:12 barrels. Hopefully Bartlein barrels show up in stock again in the near future... that said, I'm now wondering how this rifle shoots past 800 yards with FGMM, how it behaves when it hits transonic and subsonic.
MH marked down the Elite Sand AXSRs for those of you who want the best looking AI on dez streetz
“This 308 / 175 SMK works awesome, which means I need to try something else.”

Wow, that’s a good deal! ES is my second favorite behind SG, so I picked one up last year. I got a good deal from MH, but not quite THAT good (close…).
Thoughts on selling axsa and buying a new rifle for prs?

Help me decide - keep AXSA or sell for custom rifle for PRS
Hi all, I have an AXSA in 6.5 cm which I absolutely love and have shot some PRS matches with. I’m still a beginner but I’m trying to decide if I keep this or sell it for something below. Impact 737r in MDT acc elite chassis - lightest and smoothest bolt lift of the three to keep my on target...

I am never going to recommend you not be shooting an AI haha. But..... if you do sell it get an AT-XC for PRS or you could put the Vision/AO forend on your AX and make the rifle that bit better for your intended purpose.Thoughts on selling axsa and buying a new rifle for prs?

I personally sold my AX for an AT-X as it was my PRS rifle. I haven't looked back.
I have an AXSR for everything else though.
If I had the money I’d do both an AXSR and a custom PRS rifle.
I mean I have the money but I really shouldn’t lol
Run the AXSR at matches. Be a man.

I fixed it for you
You can pick up parts for a prs rig at very discounted prices in the px. I say if you want a prs rig build it from the px. You won’t loose anything if you sell it later. You say you have the money so I say conservatively spend it on the prs rig and make the decision later to keep or sell the AX
It’s not hard to get parts to build a prs rig. Biggest reason is you can roll a $350 krg until you can get that $1500 matrix. Its just a mix of parts
Where the AI is a system. To get another AX will cost you $5500 ish on the used market. That’s a harder pill to swallow vs $500-$1500 pieces along the way
The only way to save money on an AI realistically is to move down models. So make sure you want to sell it because it’s much harder to get back. Unless your rolling in $$
Well I’m sold, @PrecisionRifleGuy let me know if I can sleep on your couch for a few weeks.
Thinking about your rifle as a system is the key. You can buy the parts and throw them together but that isn't a custom rifle built by a gunsmith who knows how to get the whole to be greater than the sum of the parts.
AIs are a system. The TacOps I just bought is a great example of a system that performs at a level that is greater than the sum of the parts.
I know a few who learned this the hard way.
There was one for sale recently with the AO. The only downside to adding the AO as far as resale goes is you’ll have the cost of the AO chassis which can be bonded. But then a AX chassis which won’t sell for much as you can’t find AI actions only.
Another option is buy a ATX for $3000-$3500 used. Run the same barrels/bolts as your AX. Then sell whatever you don’t use. Or keep both.
Do both. Don’t sell the AI. I mentioned that in the other thread and will echo it here. I should’ve kept the ELITE sand AXSA I had and just built the comp gun separate instead of fucking around and changing and selling my AX. Trust me, in the long run, you’ll be happier.
Just remember next time around: A perfect "10" is nothing more than a church-going "3" with a damn good job...and no penis.
Had to throw in the last part now since it is 2024.
alright y’all convinced me to keep it and just build a prs one down the road.
What do you guys do for barricade support since the center of gravity is on the hump. With my OG game changer it hangs on my mag which I guess isn’t a big deal but not as stable and I can’t reload without moving the rifle.
I think the pint size gamechanger might actually fit the hump perfectly since it’s 3” shorter?? Maybe I need to get one of those.

I don’t have an AXSA, but the PSGC (heavy fill) does nicely without spooning the mag.
That hurts me to see it, unmolested, in all of its glory 
My hair was so long back then lol..... Straight years agoThat hurts me to see it, unmolested, in all of its glory
Sold my sage green AX and built a comp gun only to miss the AI and bought another one. If you like the AI don't be without one because you are just going to spend more money buying it again.
I did however hate the AX for position work for the reasons you are finding out right now. Balance for me was right where the hump falls off to the hand guard. I'd either put a vision front on it or sell it and get a atx if prs was my primary goal. Seems like you could sell to @Krob95 pretty easy

That rifle you quoted in the next post is mine. Adding the small plate to the hump gave me more contact with the bag as well as giving me a spot to grasp the rifle and bag with my support hand to steady my wobble.
You will likely need to add some weights to your forend ro get the rifle balanced. My AXMC weighs 24lbs when balanced on the hump.
I'll be shooting my new XC at matches going forward with the AXMC as a backup. I'll let you know how it goes.
After I split from "dash one", I dated the HR department head of Northrup Grumman when I went to work at DC. By dated, I mean I was 11 years younger and was nothing more than a glorified pool cleaner. However, I was broke AF at the time and only had what I was strapping to contribute to the relationship. That's all she wanted anyway, so I got chauffeured around the area in a Mercedes SLS AMG to all of the sushi restaurants while it lasted.
It's where I developed my paradigm shift in my life regarding what kind of women I was after.
Hopefully you can rebound well Sir, and too become a member of #TeamTrophyHusbands.

I’m sure I’ll find some nice mature rich lady who will spoil me with a nice AXMC and a ZCO optic
Guys gotta dream, right?
Thanks, that is a great option. Since you have that, do you think that is a good option for stability for PRS with the AX and a regular gamechanger OG, or would I be better off just getting a gamechanger pint size heavy fill and just balance on that.
So I bamboozled the waifu with my talents when we met back in college and it ultimately resulted in an AXSR and TT735 with her supporting me to do matches.
However I didn’t realize that she was the one bamboozling me! The bamboozler became the bamboozled! Now I cook every meal, have to balance a monthly hobby budget/stipend (life is hard), and go grocery shopping.
This injustice shall not stand! (Obviously it shall as long as the hobby money keeps coming in)

I did a small amount of dryfire with my pint-sized gamechanger, but it was not as stable as the regular size. I got more stability when I added the Mini Gun Plate V2.
I also spent some time really trying to find out which input was creating most of my wobble: shoulder pressure in buttstock, cheek pressure on stock, firing hand/fingers, and supporting hand/fingers. You'll just have to pay more attention to your inputs when using the AX.
Sweet, I think I’ll grab one of those plates, thanks!
