Is that a primary arms 4-16 on the middle rifle???

Shit I wish. It’s an older Primary Arms 4-14x44 with R-Grid Reticle

 

[poptart4YALL]

Anyone have a lead on cheek piece thumb screws? Seems everywhere is out of stock or marked discontinued.

Pretty sure they’re discontinued. I used this from McMaster Carr. They look “okay” and sit pretty flush against the skins.

Oh yeah! Shit!! I still own that cheap thing too! Only with just a mil dot! (Aka ARC-2 MOA Reticle)

I first wrote “4-14”, looked at it, and said wtf and changed it to 4-16. Mostly had forgotten that scope!

It was my first scope I ever bought. Put it on my only rifle, a CZ 527 in 204. Then found the Hide and went to mils and onto other hedonistic rifle debauchery soon afterwards.

Forgive me MIL Lord, for I have sinned!

Took the AT on my second day elk hunting in Colorado. 168 AMAX TAP did as expected on this yote that gave me a chip shot at 140.

I'm guessing the rifle is a tad heavy as pictured? What are the barrel specs?

Is the elite sand?

 

[Charger442]

Is the elite sand?

maybe im dumb but Elite Sand in AI just looks like matte muted mossy greenish to me. if i actually saw sand that color, i would assume a sewer line broke nearby.

 

[taliv]

Is the elite sand?

It is until I rattle can it

I think ES is a great color, but sand is the wrong name for it

It’s more “elite concrete”

But the concrete that’s in that shaded portion which rarely dries out throughout the day and develops that greenish tint to it over time that you eventually power wash

 

[taliv]

Well, we certainly have a lot more shaded damp concrete in this area area than sand so…

 

[Nik H]

I haven’t seen the new “green” yet so was wondering

Mine tracked 99% to 8 mils, and 83% after that lol. Threw it in the trash.

Quick snap of the new stick in the stable.

Yeah it's definitely on the heavier side but absolutely manageable. 20" 308, irrc it's a Bartlein.

I carried it another 6-7 miles today up and down draws and ridges without getting worn out.

It's going back out tomorrow for the same deal.

Don't worry. That weight will pay off when you shoot that whitetail doe in the guts at 70yds.

I'm hoping for a bull elk before I resort to shooting another damn WT lol.

You got Elk in Texas?!!

I'm in Colorado until sunday chasing elk, but there are some elk out in the FT. Davis mountains and of course private ranches but I'm too poor to chase those!

A decent 2 point sling definitely helps manage the weight.

Agreed, I'm using a ferro slingster that's ok but not great. I'm going to grab a Rifles Only bungee sling when I get back home.

biathalon sling FTW

I've often thought about one, but feel like anytime I'd want to use one I'd also be wearing a backpack and don't see how the two would work together.

Series finale this past weekend

 

[OzzyO20]

Precision gas gun season is over. Time to work up a load for the new AI and shoot some team sniper matches.

Nope lol.

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.

 

[jbuck88]

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.

 

[TanktheFrank]

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.

Anyone have some in-person pics of the new sage green chassis' or rifles?

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.

 

[TheOE800]

I’ll get some in the natural light tomorrow.

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.

 

[CollarChoke]

Heads up for the AXSR/AXMC folks, I have a bunch of my barrels up on the PX. Check my post history, I don't think I'm allowed to post direct links outside of PX per forum rules. They're priced to move. If someone from this thread wants the package deal hit me up in DM and I'll handle shipping as well. EDIT: all items spoken for.

I'm primarily running my steel barrels and also getting into a steel barrel for 300PRC when I get to go long-long out west next year, so getting out of the carbon wrapped game entirely.

Been out of the loop for a bit, is Bugholes still doing .223 conversions? If not, who is the go-to?

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.

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

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.
