Precision gas gun season is over. Time to work up a load for the new AI and shoot some team sniper matches.
Nope lol.Looks great man, i was like sure shit not NB TX
I can hike with rifles at home, but not in snow
Morning hunt was a bust with some serious weather blowing in. Sitting down lower this evening and packing the AT in.

Any ballpark of an ETA for these to land? I don't know when EO made the product listing but it seems promising for us hoping to get these in NA.

Kids out playing around today. Little guy had the longest streak today. Older brother got cocky and went to fast and pulled a shot. 6" target at 300yds.
Well as long as I've got cell service and time on the mountain, I'll be snapping pics of the AI in all it's glory. One of these days I'll connect on a bull!
My buddy grabbed this one for me, favorite picture of the trip so far. Checking out a cow and calf hauling ass across the slope in front of us.
Our only real shot opportunity was straight down into a draw and a meadow to the left. We'll be spending time tomorrow on that face the cows were on.

To my eye it’s definitely a lighter sage color than this photo would have you think.
Thanks for the photo. The stock photos on Mild High and Eurooptic make that color look almost bazooka green.
Latest rig. Eurooptic got the rail in stock after a 1mo back order and I emailed AI who confirmed they're still in regular production which is a win.
Had Allegheny Arms profile the barrel for the AEM5-30.
Probably going to need to talk to Milehigh about the bolt release. Was at a PRS event and ended up ripping the bolt out 5 times during 4 different stages and noticed that during running the bolt my bolt catch isn't as tight as my AI AT latch and wiggles. I can't find the springs or a diagram for user servicing so looks like some BS I'll have to send it off for if it happens again after a deep clean and scrub of the entire latch assembly.
if i remember correctly, isnt it just a single roll pin on the release pivot? i think i would call Mile High about getting a new bolt release assembly with new pin, arm, and spring to install myself than to mail off to someone for literally 3 minutes with a punch.
300 newton meters seems like an awfully high torque spec for a barrel. even a sage green barrel.
About 2 months ago in another thread Greg said he had a couple left and after they are gone he's probably done with the 223 conversions, he said they take too much fiddling to get to run.
Accuracy International 223 conversion working
Don't see anything listed on their website, though. Is this a phone - only item? I believe you have to call or email them.

Looks like this shade of green to me

That is what AI should name their next green color. Benjamin Green.
The new AT-XC in Sage Green Top and AT-X Elite Sand lower. Pretty close
Gotta love those shorty 308 barrels.
Sad to learn the AT-XC won't allow for a barrel shorter than 20". Now I am on the hunt for a Proof CF 20" 308.
17.5 axis dremel can solve that
I'm pretty confused with the colors they're using for their stock photos with this color. I thought the reason elite sand was discontinued was because the color matching was inconsistent. But here we have 3 different sage greens from Mile High's website?
Just the ramblings of someone that is probably going to buy a green ATX chassis regardless.

Is the forend longer on the AT-XC? I thought the AT-X could take an 18" barrel.
Yes, I believe it's longer than the AT-X. According to the literature/specs on the AT-XC the forend clearances 20" and longer barrels. I pulled a tape on the forend and it looks like it's right at 18" long so it's possible an 18.5" barrel would clear with a can on the end.
I could probably get away with a 16" but I didn't want to risk the suppressor running into the forend.
Yeah I was lucky to get one of the Accuracy Obsession chassis's so I can get away with running a shorter barrel without having to use a 7 Axis Dremel on it haha
Optic came in. About time to paint it now.

Love this setup with the 16.5" barrel!
The forend was designed for a 16.5" barrel with a 0.600" long thread to have clearance.
My buddy who bought my AX didn’t love the Hulk Cock scheme as much as me, so back to the drawing board!
The AX is still my favorite for NV use.
I need a shorty .308 barrel though…

Sage green can really look different depending on lighting. Here is the same exact gun in different lighting.
@FUNCTIONAL thanks for the pics! That isn't all that much different than the color of my elite sand rifle. Maybe I was expecting it to be more like the old AI or Sako green.
@Vivacious Stallion yea from what I've seen of ES I'd say take the gray out of the ES and replace it with a green and you have Sage green. The last pic you can see it next to KRG's Sako Green so its a lot more muted.
It’s nowhere near Sako green or TacOps ODG. I think it’s pretty true to the name similar to older USAF issue sage green.
If you have M-Lok accessories, they will need to be pulled before swapping barrels.
Fastest path is to pull the forend when swapping barrels instead do each M-lok accessory.
Thanks for your reply, much appreciated. Do the inside screws of the MLOK assessories or rails touch the barrel? Is there enough clearance when the barrel is already in?
I was just weighing the mlok option vs the factory Key slot as I already have a bunch of mlok accessories . I don’t have any issue with the Key slot but I also like the mlok options. I don’t have the rifle yet, and I wasn’t aware it came with key slot rails. it should be delivered within a couple of weeks. I was told the mlok accessories may interfere with the barrel and I appreciate the feedback. Nice to hear from people that have first hand knowledge.
As said, they don't really interfere with the barrel itself, only the removal/installation process. The diameter of the chambered area is too large to slide in or out past the m-lok inside attachments. Once the barrel is installed, there shouldn't be any interference, so other than when changing barrels you should be fine. Your options when changing the barrel are to either remove the m-lok attachments first, or the forend (but then it may not slip over certain muzzle brakes, so...still a pain.
I agree that with the key-slot pic rail sections provided with the gun, it's a much better solution to just go that route.
