Sold my AXSA, bought a TRG, sold my TRG, bought an MRAD, gonna sell the MRAD (perfectly capable system mind you), gonna buy an AI again.
Nah I'm good. I'll be spending my money on other things not made by Barrett.
I was talking about cross dressing
I at least learned from the first time I sold an AI for another gun.... this time I kept my AT. Only time it will go is after I'm dead.
Trg A1 is so far a let down though. Hard as hell to get better than 1moa. Found all my action screws finger tight this week and went to go torque them to their ridiculous 133inlb limit and stretched/cracked one screw at only 80inlb. Thankful I was able to get it out buy wtf? $5k rifle that a fucking savage would put to shame.
Owned by an Australian company nowNah I'm good. I'll be spending my money on other things not made by Barrett
I was implying those who start down that path sell there ai and start cross dressing....
Dont you both still have an ai?
Desert Techs are for guys who can tie the cherry stem into a knot with their tongue...in front of other guys.
Meh they are nice. Accurate AF. Easy to shoot. Superior barrel retention system. Easy to shoot off hand. Can shoot .223-300nm. There’s room in the safe for both
Who am I kidding safes got full years ago
I have AI AW magazines. But other than that, no. Please don’t remind me.I was implying those who start down that path sell there ai and start cross dressing....

I was asked what data card I was using in one of my pictures; it's homegrown. I usually staple up three LaRue 4 position targets for my zeroing and load testing, and use the data card to capture the conditions, velocities and position of each shot, which I then transpose to a spreadsheet and my range data book. Overkill, but it works for me.
The sheet attempts to capture the data I value by identifying the target (top, middle or bottom) then the individual target from the 4-position grid (top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right), as well as the barrel round count, speeds and then plots. I'll add a handwritten note if I'm shooting suppressed, or if I change loads. I have it in Word so it can be modified and in a PDF. If anyone wants the files, shoot me a note and we'll figure it out.

Nope. I’m now in the Poors club. I shoot empty beer cans in the backyard with a Crossman pellet gun for funI was implying those who start down that path sell there ai and start cross dressing....

Last one I have from the World Champs... I was so focused on the stage can you spot what I forgot??
I did briefly consider an MRAD, until I saw that (at the time) the only way you could get a spare barrel was to buy an entire "conversion kit" from Barrett for like $2500
I've always loved the MRAD, I remember when I was a kid seeing it for the first time on Guns & Ammo magazine I thought it was the coolest thing ever, but I've messed with a few and found the length of pull too long and the stock generally less comfortable than an AI. Maybe one day, but definitely a lower priority.
Not when you collect cans off the side of the road to purchase it
And my OF is on sale now for 5.99 a month so if you subscribe I can get a nice 6 pack for the weekend
Gross.
Steel is less and they sell the extensions now. I have a custom 6.5CM barrel, actually.
The LOP is definitely an issue.
I’ll say it…it’s a crutch for people who have zero weapon handling skills. …but it is an equipment adaptation to MDs trying to get people to do reloads as part of the stage design.
Reload or die a loser.

I like seeing people shoot more than the gay mrad jaw jacking

Lol ears in the wind.
The first shot certainly made me jump a littleLol ears in the wind.
Oh I never claimed to be a good competitor (#MidPackTac and #SometimesMaybeGoodSometimesMaybeShit are applicable hashtags) but I do believe that competing is important. However I do claim to have jokes, unlike those who take hobbies or internet posts too seriously. I think I’ve had it maybe a year and a half now.
Out of curiosity, how long do I have to own a tool before I’m allowed to talk about manipulation ability? How how up the rankings do I need to be before I can start to say that extended magazines are gay but understand why they’ve become a thing?
I shall and will. I am excited for the day that I live up to your expectations though dad.

As a guy who has all those credentials after competing 8+ years....extendo mags are still...super gay.

I have a question, though. First, how dare you.
But on a serious note, why not have both the competency to conduct a mag change and an extended mag?
Been a minute... Are we still posting AI pictures here?

Are you meaning to say, “why not have both the competency to conduct a mag change and also the ability to buy an extended mag?”
Not my rifle…
... and have an extended mag.
Tax for my apparent heretic ways. Haha.

Suspiciously, no scope in that pic!
Hopefully someone will be fire selling an AXSA when I get my bonuses in the spring. I miss being apart of the master class of citizen
Any long term thoughts if anyone has gone AXMC vs AXSR and why they chose that? I have an ATX and an MRAD, but really considering grabbing a long action AI.
I think bolt availability is the issue for both of those now?
And don't forget that the MC comes with the large firing pin which may not like small rifle primers
I have both (2 MCs, 1 SR). I changed the MC bolts to the SFP versions. I slightly prefer the MC over the SR, but honestly they’re so close that I wouldn’t care either way. They each have some pluses/minuses, but they’re pretty minor.
MC probably has a more reliable trigger, and I like the 3-position safety better. Large firing pin is more robust, and not an issue IF you stick to the 3 cartridges it was originally designed for. If you don’t NEED an ARCA rail in front of the mag well, the grip is more comfortable to carry. 30 MOA rail vs 20 on the SR is sort of a personal preference thing.
SR has ARCA rails everywhere. Ambi safety (meh for me), QR levers for stock adjustments are cool, but thumbscrews on MC are fine. No LFP bolt issues since they’re all SFP. Trigger is more adjustable to lighter weight, but MC is still good for me and rock solid reliability.
Same mags, same barrels.
You really can’t go wrong with either one.
You need a long action with all of the bolts. It is amazing to have a rifle that can do 6mm to 338 LM.
The MC is great. Not to open a can of worms, but the MC is bonded, and the SR is not. There aren't many more differences than that, provided you are right-handed. RH people will get the SFP assembly. Southpaws are SOL and only get LFP. Yes, you can bush your FP and bolt. I have strong opinions about why that is dumb as a southpaw. The bottom line is that If you're a southpaw, then buy the AXSR and buy everything you can in terms of bolts and firing pin/shroud assemblies before they are no longer available.
You'll never shoot the MRAD again, so you might as well sell it to fund the LA AI
