On my AT, if I pierce primers , fragments will find their way into the bolt body and I will have the same problem. I would just pull your firing pin/spring assembly out of the bolt body and then dump out whatever is in your bolt and see what you have.

Winner Winner.

I wasnt even checking for blown primers yesterday but sure enough little primer bits came out of the bolt body.

6.5 Creedmoor Norma 130 match. I was using the LFP because that ammo uses large primers, but I guess I'll switch back to the SFP

Yep, same happened to me a long time ago. Pulled the pin assembly out, dumped out a couple of primer discs, and back to working again.

The AX is back to her original self. Spent a short stint in an atx chassis but I missed the old school classic look. Shooting tiny groups like always with the only 6.5 worth owning, 6.5x47L

I gotta say I think 6.5x47 is my favorite caliber. You can't load that thing wrong. I regret resizing everything I have to 6x47. 6x47 is still nice but not as idiot proof as 6.5x47. Fun fact, first match with a 6.5x47 was also the first match I won an open class match.

That’s even factory 139 scenar ammo. Picked up a couple boxes till I get time to reload in a few weeks.

If it helps... this was with varget out of a 26" barrel (possibly 24, it's been a while). 130eldm, 140smk and 142smk. The 130 didn't hold together at 800 and I ran the 142smk at 36.8. Those targets are 1/2"

In case anyone is looking for a pale brown Cerakote color match this is what I came up with. (Grip section and trigger guard are home brew color)

H-199 ratio 13/32 about 40%
H-265 ratio 13/32 about 40%
H-187 ratio 6/32 about 18%

catalyst 15:1

My mixture was
13.5G of 199 and 265
6G of 187
Total of 33 plus 1.67G of catalyst.

Hope this helps someone as there’s no info on it out there.

This new auto correct on apple is driving me insane. I need to proof read my posts.

Anyway excuse for a AI photo.

Recently traded my at-x chassis for the at & vision combo that was listed on here.

Weight was a concern since i mostly shoot hunter matches. Looks like i should be good with my harvester back on and maybe the nv bridge pulled.

Looks great!

How’s it balance as setup here? I’m guessing there is no internal weights here.

 

[M8541Reaper]

Anyone here have the specs for the AXSR’s:

-Action Bolts
-Trigger Roll Pin
-Mag Release Roll Pins

You have to have a sense of humour to put a Vortex on an AI. Or you're a one-shot wonder poor ...

Can someone please explain why Vortex gets so much hate in this thread? While not a fan boy, I've used a lot of scopes that are worse than the G3 Razor.

Posturing. G3 Razor is a really good scope, but I have a Theta on my AI so as not to be ridiculed.

I've had 2 gen 2 razors in my life....yes....even one on an AI. At the time they were great scopes for the money but at today's standards the G2 razor at least has a lot of competition with better or equal glass and more reticle options in a lighter weight package. They did fall short optically for me, particularly with backlit berms with targets you couldn't make out anything vs my S&B which had no problem. Only looked through a G3 quickly but not enough to make an educated opinion. Always loved how you zero them though.

Just fun to give shit to each other about it....kinda like Milwaukee vs. Dewalt kinda deal.

Vortex?

More like Poortex

[stanley_white]

I sit in my paid off home, having driven there in my paid off car, and I put down my financial statements indicating I can pay for any college my children want in cash, so I can go do some DFAT dry fire with my AI AT and my Leupold MK5 5-25x56mm with Illuminated TMR reticle.

Work hard. Save a lot. Buy whatever you want.

[jimsair]

Thanks guys. I understand now.

If you like the G3 reticle, I think it's a great option. But you do only get one reticle option.

Now back on topic.... What ball ammo shoots best out of an AI?

 

[TheOE800]

Gotta feed your AI that good old British surplus, duh.

Bonus points if it still uses cordite...

Green skins look great! You oughta’ consider drilling one more hole in the fore end and one for the barrel clamp- it’s really not a big deal.

 

[300_BLK]

Yeah will do the quick change hole in the skins and also the forend for the QD sling cups

Where did you find the hinge in the end?

Who you going to get to do your barrels?
There's a few people in NZ with AIs now, it'd be nice to find someone who can start offering prefits, or can at least chamber barrels without needing to send them the rifle.

Huh? For AT barrels you can order prefits or have them chambered without sending in rifle. Unless I’m mistaken on your question here

Lol no worries.
There are some places that will import prefit barrels but I think getting them spun up locally will be easier, and probably cheaper in the long run.

Now, I quite like your paint job. Dead serious. And I own a R700 in 204 that I love. So I’m not at all looking down upon you.

And know that it’s sort of a meme here to poor-shame, which most do as a joke. I hope.

There’s a guy here that likes to tweak us by posting a setup like yours just to see who catches it. But he also owns an AI ( the type with an AI action), so he kinda gets a “joke” pass.

Anyway, posting an AI chassis containing a R700 action in this thread is like posting a Tikka factory stock with a R700 action in it in the Tikka thread?

I’m trying not to sound like a dick, but probably failing.

no offense taken! This used to be my marketing piece years ago when I had my gunsmith shop (also did cerakote and hydro). The only thing stock on the 700 is the action (which I trued) and bolt assy. I could not justify paying big bucks for a custom action when I could fix a Remington out of the box.

I am sure R700's are a dime a dozen in an AI thread. They make a great Chassie. Even better rifles. For some reason I thought this was an AICS thread and not an AI thread. Now that my dysfunctional syndrome has calmed down I see that lol.

No suppressor check...

Caldwell knock off of a Harris bipod... Check...
Miss matched fudd ammo check....
Bolts on the wrong side of the gun check....
Hole in single wide skirt in the foreground check....
No Arken....Fail
No $10k truck with $25k of lift and wheels in view....fail
Possibly could have gotten more multicam per sq in there ....half credit....
