What is the lowest height mount y’all have gotten away with using on a AIAX? 56mm objective.
Thanks
It depends on what caps you use. I'd bet 1.42" but a lot just use a 1.5" mount. You can always take off the continuous pic rail off the tube if you want to go lower. Have a couple buddies who did that on their AX's.

Anyone know what finish AI uses on their bolts? It looks to wear quite easily.

I took the AX out today to sight it in with the brand new Accurate Ordnance Bartlein 26" 6.5 Creedmoor barrel. It took 12 rounds to get her on target at 100 yds. I shot a 5 round group after getting it on paper and I must say that I am more than pleased with the results. I used factory Hornady 140 gr ELD-Match ammo and shot from the bipod and a rear bag. I think after a proper cleaning schedule and some more rounds to break her in, she'll be capable of even better.
Based on your calculations, you subtracted .264 from the spread you measured with your calipers.
Did you actually measure the diameter of one of the holes, because they rarely match bullet diameter?
Now, it's not gonna make much difference (a few thousandths of an inch) but being as you have those nice Mitutoyo digital calipers, next time just measure the diameter of a representative hole in your group and zero the calipers there. Measure the outside of the group and you have your groups size, no calculator needed.
Another trick from your friendly neighborhood toolmaker.
Nice notice on the calipers though, not sure why/how I justified buying them
I got to spend a bunch of time behind my A.I. this last weekend. I took a long range Precision Rifle class. We spent day one working 100-500. Working on zero, and really understanding wind and wind calls etc. day 2 was spent at 1000/1200/1400 and THE MILE. I'm super proud to say I scored 2 hits on steel at a mile. I was 23.5 mils up, and since there was quite a bit of wind, I had 6mils dialed in. I really found out what my rifle/scope combo is capable of. I came away with a much better understanding of the optic, and how to really use it to its full benefits. I know having the A.I. helped me. Not saying for a second that tons of other guns couldn't do it, I'm sure they could, but I'm very comfortable with this rifle/scope.
Good class, great rifles!
I use a buddy, he runs ‘HRH Combat Arms’ in Arlington, Tx.Can you please let me know who did the Cerakote work for you. I want to Cerakote my AT skins in Sage Green. Looks like a tough color because every photo I see is different

Getting some dry fire practice in on our backyard deer herd...
Same issues with magazines i do not know which one will fit the SA.
Short action AX mags are AI P/N 6677.
is the RRS AXMC mount the same for the AXMC Short Action? Or should i only shop for AI AT/AX stuff? just bought an AI AXMC 6.5CM short action. all the accessories are confusing me, not knowing if it's for Long or Short action. Same issues with magazines i do not know which one will fit the SA. Barrels i'm fine with...Europtics has a good description to go with AT/AX barrels for Short Action.
The RRS AIAX/AX AICS mount works for three things, the short action AIAX 308 factory rifle, the long action AXMC factory rifle, and the AX AICS chassis system for R700 rifles.
The proper mag for the short action AIAX is the AI P/N 6677, it is the only one you should use.
Short action barrels for the AIAX are the same as those sold for the AIAT and are usually listed as AX/AT. I went through the same learning curve when I got mine and I agree, it is a very confusing lineup.
RRS lists a different plate for the AICS AX chassis. Also the AW/AT SA mags works flawlessly in the AX’s as well.
You are correct in regards to the RRS plate for the chassis system. The AICS mags work, but the 6677 is a superior mag so unless you have a bunch of the AICS mags lying around I would only buy 6677 mags.
I’m not referring to the AICS mag, I’m referring to the AW/AT mag. It’s an entirely different mag from the AICS, it’s double stack double feed just like the AX mag. The only difference is the AW/AT MAG doesn’t locking lip on the front top of the mag. They lock up just as tight in the AX with no play and they’re more universal if you have an AW or AT or a custom setup to run AW mags.
What does that weigh as is sits? 25#?
