Tomorrow will tell. Going to run ~100 140gr Berger VLDs through it before the 30rd Test Series
Why are you not impressed?
I have several cans and my carbon proof will only group with one of them. None of my other barrels have this issue.
Sounds like I’ll need to take a brake with me tomorrow ?
This seems like a thread for my questions considering all the AI owners here.
What’s the lowest trigger weight you can set an AX stock trigger?
Is anyone using shoulder Prefit barrels for the AX short action? Proof, Keystone accuracy, PVA, straight jacket armory, and so on.
I understand that the AX has a quickloc system for quick barrel changes but is it ok to torque the barrel into the action like any other regular action? The rifle would be used for PRS and their is evidence that bumping a barrel with these quick change systems against objects will cause a POI shifts because they don’t secure the barrel as well as just torquing into the action to say 75ft-lbs

Havnt messed with the factory trigger
WIN Tac Bartliens (from EuroOptic or Mile High) and Proof
Quickloc is a shouldered system so it doesn’t have the same issues as switchlug or BarLoc
Positive experience with the Prefits barrels you mentioned?
I don’t know enough about the quickloc system. If you know of any videos or articles explaining it I’d appreciate it. I’m glad you understood my concern though because a lot of people don’t even know there is issues with the switch lug, barloc, or barrel nut systems.
Some pictures from the match over the weekend here in Utah.
I haven't played with mine yet but the AI manual says the trigger can to lowered at most to ~2.15lbs.
My hawk hill prefit is indexed nicely and even though COVID is keeping me indoors I've done some testing with quicklock and beating on the barrel with a rubber mallet becauseI had the same fear. With a laser sight at the end of the barrel, I'll line up the reticle with the sight, take the sight out, smack the ever loving shit out of the barrel, and see if the sight is still lined up with the barrel. I've not seen the sight move a hair during this process.
That’s good news. I had a chance to review the quickloc and it would seem to be a nice design.
There a club link or anything to find out when they are having them? I don't do Facebook
Not sure where you’re seeing this info on the trigger. Factory stock AI trigger is 1.5kg on the lowest, which is 3.3 lbs.
The lowest you can go per AI spec on a factory trigger is 3.3#. Many go lower, sometimes at the expense of the trigger not being drop safe. My personal AX trigger would easily drop fire at anything lower than 3.0#. Others have gone closer to 2# but each trigger is different.
If you want a lighter trigger that’s safe and designed to go down to 1#, pay the money for an AI Comp Trigger and be done with it. Chances are once you start messing with the factory trigger it’ll either be unsafe or feel like shit (or both) and you’ll end up having to send it in to Mile High to get re-set to factory specs.
The shouldered barrel is a non issue. The AI Quick-Loc design is peerless and totally unlike the tiny set screw designs of others on the market. It also uses a ridiculously long tenon with loads of thread engagement. Either send your rifle in to a shop like LRI and have them measure your action once, then get custom pre-fits for life tailored to your gun. Or just buy pre-fits from any of the companies you listed.
If you shoot a group, take your barrel off, reinstall the barrel, and shoot another group and it’s off by more than 0.1 to 0.2 mils, I’ll buy you a beer.

Proof Carbon Fiber 24” 6.5CM Prefit shot well. Berger 140gr factory ammo was running 2820fps. McCourt 30rd Test Series w/ 140gr VLDs was 2810-2830fps.
The Proof CF barrel is interesting, it dissipates heat quicker than all steel barrels; which might help barrel life? Idk. It cuts a couple pounds off weight wise, so it feels quicker and easier to move, but the loss in weight makes it more difficult to shoot in compromised positions as the balance point is further reward (induces more wobble).

Man I wish mine was that easy the first time out haha. Very nice
Not a AXMC. But I have them on my AT LE and I’m quite happy with them. Don’t currently have any decent pics showing them. But I’ll get some tomorrow if I don’t forget
Found these pics in a folder. So here ya go.

Yup, should have double checked my manual again. My comp trigger shipped at just over 2lbs according to my tool, for some reason my brain shut off. Thank you for correcting my mistake so the proper information is on here!
FYI... GRS bagriders are back in stock at EO.
Nice! I've only been there to RO matches, I haven't been able to shoot there yet.
It was just me, and I was at the 100yd line just pumping rounds through to break the barrel in. Next range session I'll try to remember a camera and tripod to take some video!
He doesn't want the paint messed up on that purdy thing from cases ejecting.
Everyone worries about resale value, not just the poors. Lol
