When you bought your first AI rifle.. how was it?
Get an AI. But hunting with one? ??? I guess if you hunt from a ground blind and can park your quad nearby, AI's are heavy rascals, for me at least.
Nice pic, more power to you,I turn 70 in a few months and just don't fancy packingMy wife might disagree. This is her doing over watch for deer with my AT. She got more reading done than anything. Yes she carried it as did I.

Good on you, but at 70 y.o. I don't fancy packing my AI where I hunt
I'm going to go against the grain here and say it didn't blow me away. That's not to say that my AT is not a very very nice rifle, it's just that my first impression did not match the hype that some here will lead you to believe. I've owned several custom rifles, built just how I like them and shot many more owned by others. I've put hands on a lot of different guns. A custom rifle, TO ME, feels better than an AI. The bolt will cycle smoother, the trigger can be lighter and maaaybe crisper, and you can choose a stock/chassis that fits you best.
With that being said, the AI bolt is still pretty slick and I do like the factory trigger a lot. The chassis is growing on me still and if I could just change the grip I'd be happy. But that's not really what something like an AI is all about. You've got a complete system that is designed to work together and has been proven for DECADES. I do not regret selling my custom rifle to buy an AI.

How do you like the Dark Earth color? I wanted to get the GREEN color but i called today and switch to Dark Earth... I still have until friday to decide on a colorDoes anyone has a pic showing the AXMC magazine adapter for 308 and the mag? Does the adapter fully sits inside the magwell without showing anything?
The reason I am asking is that I got a AXMC in Dark Earth but I can only find adapter in Pale Brown. I am wondering whether any part of the adapter shows outside and does the color miss match looks strange.
Thanks ahead.
Well I will see it in person hopefully this Tuesday.How do you like the Dark Earth color? I wanted to get the GREEN color but i called today and switch to Dark Earth... I still have until friday to decide on a color

Took my .308 AT out today after the big storm. Best group was a 5-shot 0.37 MOA at 100 yds. Ammunition was 175 gr. FGMM. This thing flat out hammers.
Correct, that is the AI factory 1:12. It likes the 168 and 175 gr SMKs. Our range only goes out to 600 yds, so that works.Good shooting!.. is that a 1in 12 barrel?
What height Spuhr mount is that ?

The mount is a SP-4001. Zero MOA and 1.18" high.
I was very fortunate to pick up the AT ('14 LFP) and PMII last year on clearance from MHSA. Great guys who were very helpful, I highly recommend them.
You’re last two pictures have convinced me to take the top rail off my AX lol
Either way, you can't go wrong with Spuhr. Great choice.Awesome. Also have a PMII, I think the Sp-4001 will be the way to go once my AT comes in.. another option I’m considering would be the Spuhr rings, as they would get the PMII mounted 5mm lower.
I do feel that a mount is a better option though..

Looks good man
I just took mine off. Can’t believe that never crossed my mind before. Feels way better on the ol bitch mittens lol.Not much point being up there unless you're running NFE often... Even then, throw on the short rail when you have your spacing sorted out!
Much more comfortable to grab quickly and handle.
The boy and I made it out last weekend for a couple hours of fun. He is 8 and does pretty damn wellView attachment 7044803

The Magazine Adapter will "peek out" on the left side, where the magazine cut out is. It's definitely visible. I have the Dark Earth AXMC and Pale Brown adapter and I had your exact same concern -- but it turned out just fine even if the color is a bit different.
If I had to do it all over again, I would buy a black adapter, but if I only had the pale brown available to purchase, I wouldn't hesitate to grab it again.
BTW, what's up with the backordered parts for AXMC? I know the AXSR is rolling out soon, but it's a bad look for AI to have so few AXMC parts available through their distributors right now.

I wonder if they are still on track for the SFP bolt to come out this summer/fall.
What is that?
Will it fit into axmc long action?
Yes it's a sfp bolt for the axmc... supposedly exists supposedly on their way to the US sometime in this year.... supposedly
I'm waiting for the new SA mags for the AXMC that won't require a mag adaptor.
I know the ASR is going to have that, will those mags fit the AXMC too?
I was told the mags work between the ASR and AXMC.
I have a Question too.. I have on backorder and AXMC .300 WM...... I would like to get a Barrel in .308 but i don't know what should I get... Carbon Fiber Barrel or Regular barrel? What's a better option?!

Depends what your using it for if weight is a concern. Same with length. The Proof CF barrels are great shooters though.
Talked to Mile High today. Sounds like the first batch of 5 SFP bolts went out for the AXMC. I ended up being down further on the list but it is what it is.
New to AXMC
What heck is SFP bolt?
Can that bolt focus on second focal plane?
You should make one to fit the AE MKiii. Then I won't need to remove my AT from it's chassis. ?
