He is the one that makes the competition trigger for AINA. You can't order the AICT directly from Tom though since it was a joint partnership with AINA.
The MOD22 is indeed a bad-ass 2-stage trigger.

That's mine. Can't say who I got it from though - that was my agreement. This is a prototype though - the final product may look slightly different; perhaps a contour to the pad area.
Should be released at any time though. Mile High will be your ticket, and as much interest as they have had about them I am positive they are going to post when they receive them. They already have a list going for orders so hopefully they get a metric ton of them in.
Good choice
Its official. Elite Sand Ordered. Thanks for the photos. Helped me make that decision pretty easy.
I'm waiting patiently for the rest to show up!
Yes I did! Just needed some motivation from folks including yourself to pull the trigger on another AX
That Tangent Theta is so lonley in there. Those cases are really neat. Wish there was an option for slightly larger case that took 26 inch barrels.
I unfortunately won't be getting a TT gen3xr after this AXMC purchase. Still have two M7xi optics waiting to show up from my October pre-order, and will most likely put those both on the AXMCs. Had a hard time deciding what I was going to do. A PVS30 with a good illuminator. TT gen3xr and a TBAC 338 SR can. Or another AXMC. Went with the latter.
Comp trigger question:
To make it single stage, just tighten the first stage travel all the way down? Or does the 1st stage weight need to be adjusted as well?

Yep, take the 1st stage travel all the way out. If it's crunchy, turn down the weight (that's the 1st stage spring getting compressed too hard). You could start by taking the 1st stage weight down - either works.
So they mention Elite Midnight on their site, but I've never seen any guns that say Elite Midnight, its just always black. I want to say I read somewhere on the 'Hide that all the black guns are now Elite Midnight?
Does anyone have any info on this?

Don’t accidentally screw with the seer adjustments and not remember what you did.
What a nightmare getting it back into proper working order
Hehe, true. I ordered 3 of them total. 2 were perfect on the break straight out of the package, but 1 I had to "screw" with.
The "wall" just felt 10 feet tall when it need to be .01 inches tall. Tested with a rubber mallet to the side of the rifle and a small Delrin hammer on top of the bolt shroud, all good.
Well, the wait is finally over. I can not believe that this rifle fits in this case. It's a tight squeeze, but it's all in there.
About a year ago, will be making some changes this year.

The 6.5cm, .308 & .300 win mag barrels are 20". I also picked up a 27" .338 Norma mag barrel for it as well.
It's still dark out here, so excuse the pic. Here's one of it together:
There was even enough room in this slot underneath the chassis to fit my 338 ultra can:
This is the only thing that kinda puzzles me? Why is the factory .300 win mag barrel that came with the rifle quite a bit smaller in contour than the other barrels I received from Eurooptic? EO called them 2018 profile. They are a lot beefier!

Looks awesome! Great setup! I also noticed that the profile of the barrels I got from factory have a smaller profile. Same for the 300 Norma mag I received last year. I don't have the explanation but I'm sure someone will chime in with that answer.
Regarding the barrel contours - Jason @ EuroOptic told me 'They started using the heavier AXMC blanks for short actions in 2018 to streamline their barrel blank logistics'
EuroOptic has them broken out on their site as well, the newer ones are labeled '2018 profile' and are ~$100 more a barrel.

My understanding is AXMC and AXSR (AI-ASR) barrels are interchangeable. Bolts are not.
It is. I'm adding the comp trigger, and trying out ArcaSwiss+Ckyepod and the AX stock conversion.
Except for an eventual nvg rig, she be finished.
I think I have it sorted out for now.

Started at 2,651 FPS average on a virgin barrel. We have seen them speed up to ~2,750 FPS after 200 rounds (Bartlein 5R’s). I didn’t chronograph any rounds today. I plan to after I get more rounds down the tube.
Hot Hand loads I assume? Factory 143 ELDx in a 17" Bartlein barrel I was seeing 2503 average fps. Never hand loaded for that barrel. WIth the 140s I saw an average of 2564 fps. The Berger 130s can get up there towards the 2700 mark on shorter barrels. Usually I was seeing 2670 or so..

Nope, factory Federal GM 130 Berger ammo. I got about the same with Hornady 140 ELD-M (~2,510 FPS).

Awesome! Good shooting. What break in do you do? I know everyone has there own regiment. Waiting for my barrels back from MH before I get the new 300wm out.
First off, thank you. As far as barrel break in, I really don't do anything fancy. 20-30 rounds each then take them home for a good cleaning and inspection with the Hawkeye. I quit doing that cleaning between each shot years ago. I hope you get your barrels soon! The anticipation has got to be killing you.
I'm fairly patient.. Well that just depends on what it is these days.. Been waiting for my Black Bear Half Mount that is killing me inside to get. A suppressor or custom gun, I just forget about it. I have been doing 3/clean/3/clean/and then just shoot the thing for 20-40 pending the caliber and inspect. So nothing too fancy.
How are you liking that TT on the rifle. About the perfect setup you have going there.
I love the TT with the new reticle. The center dot is a hair big for shooting groups at 100 yards, but I managed. Where it shines is when you switch barrels and have to re-zero. It's seconds instead of allen wrench and a couple minutes each!
I just put my reloading bench together. My Forster Co Ax comes on Tuesday. I can’t wait to play with some new loads and more importantly, save a lot of money.
I thought I saw an AT with the AX buttstock on a couple YouTube videos... shame it’s only for LE. I’ve had both an AT and AXMC in the past... and while a thumb hole stock certainly has that classic AI look, the newer AX buttstock is definitely more modern and comfortable.
