If I had the money I’d do both an AXSR and a custom PRS rifle.

I mean I have the money so why not

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.

What about the vision AO chassis. That might be a sweet spot? I just don’t like the idea of debonding the chassis and or if it will affect resale.

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.

[its_sean]

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.

Also found this, looks like an arca plate that I can rest on a bag? Might also be good?

I don’t have an AXSA, but the PSGC (heavy fill) does nicely without spooning the mag.

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.

yeah I added the 16” forend and bought some forend weights already. Might need a little more weight, I’ll be at 22lb.

What plate is that?

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.

A whole pile of those wintac keyslot weights on mine make it balance well hump-forward and also enabled me to cancel my gym membership since I get all my weight lifting in with the rifle now I'm still scheming on making a "hump filler" arca extender but we'll see. FWIW I've ran the AXSR through PRS style stages on the clock and it handles just fine as long as you make it a teeny bit front heavy.

I'm pretty invested in being able to run everything and anything through/with my AXSR so my next hair-brain scheme is to have it run a 6GT barrel as well and then use my little ramp magazine adapters to make that feed. As the saying goes, I can do anything through spite, which strengthens me

Good question sir! I have 3 of the AI 308 mags for the AXSR but got tired of the feedlip tuning and occasional issues with running shorter rounds through them.

I can build 4 of these for the price of 1 AXSR SA mag, and they'll feed pretty much anything reliably regardless of length thanks to the feedramp bridge I added. They've yet to fail me, which I can't say for the AI counterpart unfortunately.

It's not for lack of magazine budget, I assure you.

This interests me, if only for the fact that the mags are so much slimmer. I imagine these are much easier to find pouches/mag carriers to carry for ruck matches too.

One of the best features of AI’s is the double stack mags. A 10 rounder is the same size in length as the 5 round AICS. I grabbed my buddy’s 10 round AICS 300 WM magazine the other day. Felt like I grabbed a mag for an AK

This is the reason I've built all my non clone rifles off 3 lug actions (tempest).

[CollarChoke]

Did you have issues with 308 and 6.5 or br variants? That's interesting my axsr 308 mags are what run the best I think out of all my ai double stacked mags.

I found I had to re-tune between 308 and 6.5cm from time to time and especially on last round feeds it would nose dive every now and then and cause a failure to feed. Combined with wanting the ability to run things like a 6GT and anything else I might have a barrel spun up for on the shorter side of the house I decided to go this route.

Honestly I might just drill the chassis and plop in the AXMC adapter at some point like one of the other forum members did, but these printable adapters work well and just click onto whatever AICS pattern magazine I have laying around for whatever cartridge, and that opens up the world of choices quite a bit.

Agreed on the double stack mags though, there's no reason I couldn't make an AW version beyond just not having a pile of those laying around for myself.

 

[TheOE800]

Make it cross compatible with the AX mag too
