Here's a couple pics of my new sage green AXMC 300WM 24" that I ordered from Jason at Euro Optic. I also got the 308 conversion bolt, mag adapter and a 26" 243 barrel. I'm planning on picking up a 20" 308 barrel as well.
I had concerns with how it would feed and run with the short action stuff but spoke to one of the AI team shooters before purchasing and he said it's good to go and I'd never notice a difference from my SA AX once I shoot it. He was right. It runs and feeds buttery smooth just like every other AI.
What surprised me a bit however is how well it runs single fed. A lot of rifles will have the bullet hang up on the back of the tennon, but there are no issues at all in this with the little 243. I ran it probably 500 rounds last night with some dummy rounds which 100 or so we're just tossing the round in the open chamber and it didn't hang up once.
So far I've only ran 20 rounds through it with the 300 barrel the night I got it but the target picture is the 5 round group I shot with some cheap hunting loads I picked up at Walmart. The flyer was all me on shot #3 but 4 rounds went though one ragged hole when I didn't screw up. I'll be shooting the 215gr Berger Hybrid for 300WM but I just had to shoot it.
It doesn't weigh noticeably more than the SA version and the balance is perfect with the 5-25 Mil-C Nightforce ATACR F1.
If you're looking for one rifle to do it all you can't go wrong with an AXMC.
Does the 308 bolt conversion have to come fitted from factory? Or can it just be bought at a later date along with the mag adapter? If you would, I'd love a ballpark estimate for the conversion parts. Thanks! AI envy here! Have an AI/AT in 308/6.5Creedmoor, love it. All my other rifles are very nervous as they may be sold to get a second AI, they are so smoooooth.

Great numbers, that with reloads or?
My rig. I've got several different barrels but I mainly practice with 308 and compete with 6x47
Anyone put an APA gen 2 brake on a factory threaded M18x1.5 barrel? I would like to know if it completely hides the spigot, any pics would be great!
They're set from the factory for headspace so you can add bolts and barrels as needed. It's always a good idea to check headspace though.
Here is what you will need to go to 308 or 308 sized rounds:
Bolt body:

Short action magazine adaptor:

Short action magazine (AW magazines also work):

And lastly you will need a barrel in the caliber of your choice with the AXMC sized tennon. The AT/AX barrels will not work. Retail on the barrels is about $800.

For an exact price on a full kit and availability it would be best to call them.

Would a 308 barrel also be needed? Or would the 300WinMag barrel work?
I don't expect a barrel chambered in .300 Winchester Magnum to work for a .308 Winchester cartridge
Very nice, is the barrel of the AX308 in that second photograph 20"?
Yes 20" bartlien 308 1/10 in that pic.
Very nice! How do you like the TT?Received my AXMC from Mile High today. Barrel is a 28" Bartlein chambered for .300 Norma Mag with the 225 Hornady ELD-M's. Can't wait to get it out tomorrow.

Todd

Kujuak, my plans for this rifle is to take it out to a mile and maybe beyond if I can find a longer range. I have a 28 Nosler and 6.5 CM barrel coming for it as well. All it will probably ever see is steel though. I have a lightweight rifle that I use for hunting. This thing is way too heavy to lug around the woods!

Thanks for the reply. When you add barrels you will need to add a bolt for the non magnum calibers plus magazine adapter , right? Do you plan to send it back to manufacturer or dealer for that or just do it yourself. When I looked into this the price of the extra "bits" was of sufficient magnitude to make me inclined to get the whole package from the factory as a factory fitted/checked package for my peace of mind . Am I being untrusting of AI's precise manufacturing prowess? The smaller calibre kits would have small rifle primer bolt?
Can someone tell me what SPHUR all the guys running full rail AX Chassis are using, I am looking at a ususal 34mm 56mm bell optic like normal flagship 5-25 type optics.......I was looking at 4002 but just wanted to double check so I dont loose another 1-2 weeks flipping mounts.
For reference...AXMC 308 and Razor Genii 4.5-27x56
I ran a 4006 with a Gen2 Razor 56mm
Can you still run Tenebraex flip caps with the Spuhr SP-4006?
There is that not much space left between the objective and rail.
The search button is your friendAny body got a pic of an AIAT in a MPA chassis?

About to buy an AXMC and looking to stock up on reloading kit for 308 practice barrel. Since AI is kinda the benchmark of consistency I figured it would make more sense to ask for the recipe that everyone else is running with their AI 308 barrels instead of wasting components doing load development. What is everyone shooting through their 10 twist factory AI 308 barrels?
I posted same question in reloading thread and tried to Search for it but kinda a shit show.

Anybody else have problem with AX pistol grip? I was desperate, for my hand is extremely uncomfortable... And I have Ergo grips on other rifles... Sooo, I had to cut the AI grip and replace it by the same Ergo grip, as I have on other rifle. Now I am happy
