i wonder if that means they are going to keep AXMC and ASR? Im not sure if its been addressed but why LE only on these? anyone know?
Someone at my club had an AX buttstock fitted to their AT and whilst it does look good, they did admit with hindsight (and taking into account the cost £750), they probably would have left the AT as standard. Also, the AX buttstock did necessitate higher scope rings due to the height of cheekpiece on the AX stock.check out the buttstock on the AT below.....

That's why I designed and made a "low" AX cheek piece for the AX and AX-AICS buttstock
Can't comment on the price though, it definitely is an expensive upgrade!
geek65, that's kind of where i am as well, don't see the cost benefit.
Everything "we" have been told (as in the public) is the AXMC is discontinued to make way for the new-gen AXSR. The AXMC LE is news to me, it will be interesting if they say why they're doing it. Maybe it's significantly cheaper to a LE department vs the AXSR, but how many LE department are needing/buying long action magnums?
I too have an AT (308) and I did consider the AX stock modification, but eventually decided it was just too much money for no actual benefit (other than looks, which are very subjective). Therefore, I added the thumbhole conversion, to look like an AW, and as far as I am concerned I made the right choice.
I absolutely love the AX buttstock, I agree $750 is an expensive upgrade however I think it enhanced the rifle. I really prefer the right side folder.
Sexy. You know what that means.... There's probably going to be a SA version of the AXSR in the next year or so.
has anyone else noted the serious lack of machining and block like contour compared to the AXMC around the folding butt and elsewhere to be honest.
No not at all. There's quite a bit more machining actually. Are you looking for a bunch of designs carved into it? It looks wonderful. K.I.S.S.
Shiiiiiitt, I'd like to be a medium baller..
Shit I want to just be a short baller. Let’s get that SA AXSR passed out!
Was gonna say the same, seems a little slow don't it?.
Pretty sure most dudes are on a 10 twist or faster at this point to run the heavier CE pills.
Question for the masses. I have an AT with the higher optic rail and an mpa 1.5" mount. I'm looking at a few options to attach my pvs30 to it, will the badger imuns be inline with the scope rail or will I have to go with the nv bridge that AI makes? The rifle in question:
Attachments
Nope. They’re keeping the current AXSA. No plans this year for a short action AXSR
I’m not sure about the IMUNS mount but the factory NV bridge aligns with the tall optic rail. It will also protrude past the chassis about the same length as your SamB spigot.
My rifle is almost a twin to yours and I have the NV bridge.
Nah dude, just wishful thinking. Seeing their SA AXSR chassis makes me hold out hope that they’ll announce a SA AXSR version in the next three years lol.
Just a couple of shots from our last club match. Later on it absolutely pissed down with rain. Lots of the custom actions started to foul up and have issues. The AX just kept on going strong as expected.
Not mine, just found a pic on the interwebs.Sweet ride! Just got word possibly August/September delivery ?
I submitted an order Tuesday for a DOMINUS-CB and havnt heard back. You got an invoice from them?
@IW21 August/September Delivery for what?

I had a double take moment recognising that range and yourself. I'm one of the other AI users out there.
My bad, AXSR brother. I'm still waiting to finger f..k the new TBAC stuff first.
Local match from last weekend. Had a good time and cool having 2 AI's there.
Picked this up yesterday, same comments I'm sure as everyone else made when they bought their first AI. Definitely wasted too much time and money on customs guns. Should have just grabbed one of these, the bolt lift is lighter and smoother than my tempests. Unsure whether I send this off for a lick of paint yet or if I'm going to swap this barrel for a 28" 338LM carbon instead. I will definitely be grabbing a .308 boltface when one pops up and will keep my ears to the ground for short action ASR mags hitting our shores.
Apologies for the delay in replying below fellas, juggling a few things this week, and children. And their flailing arms makes it more so challenging to juggle, especially my eldest.
I received a response and AO can export to Aus mate, but after setting up the rifle, unsure whether I need the cheek piece yet. I'll be moving states this year so will convert this to a folder and grab that thumbrest though, I definitely think that will be of benefit. AO has some great things on that site, had to stop myself going down the rabbit hole.
The PVA only goes up to 30 cal? I think I'll be swapping the brake out on this one sooner than later. I'll give this a run and see if I can get hands on a comp trigger.
Are there any Rem 700 triggers out yet that come close to the AI trigger?

Couple of beers + pencil + corner of a napkin & a cunning plan to begin the long quest for world domination...
Mod 22 trigger. It's made by the same folks that make the AI comp trigger. I have one myself.
