It's been 3 years of selling everything they make as fast as they can produce products. How would you expect them not to raise the price. It's just a how high will it go and how is the market going to correct? Or are we just going to be paying $20k for the AXSR replacement in 5 years?
They wouldn’t be lowering the price of the atx if that was the case
I paid $7200 each for the two AXSR(s) I bought in 2020. That's a huge increase 3.5 years later. Would cause some serious pause before buying them at that price point. Nearly $4000 more, I don't see it 
I'm going to go ahead and order one and see what I can come up with. A thumbrest on the thumbhole is gonna be sweet!
Bro where in texas you have multiple ranges near by you that offers 1000-1200 yrds?1k-1mile max. have ranges near me for both that I'm going to get a membership for.
Also - i've saved like 50 pics from this thread as inspiration, AT with thumbhole is preety beautiful rifle. So is AXSR with 18.5 proof
If ppl stop looking at stock market to figure out the economy (as if they are operating a 500 company) they will understand the gun buying frenzy is behind us….
There are many, basically outside of the 4 major cities. i'm still deciding which ones to go to.
Finally got to do first shots and zero the AT and AX today. I'm definitely impressed regardless of the comedy of errors. Forgot my can at home, left my impacts in the duck hunt bag and had to dick with the T6Xi for longer than I'd care to admit figuring out the zero stop and elevation turret.
The Proof barrel on the AT preferred 140 Black, and the AX 147 ELD-M. I'll get some more factory loads through them in the coming weeks and start load development.

Need to get either the AO spigot or Elite Iron spigot, and an Atlas for the AT. It made shooting mine off the bipod much more enjoyable.
I've got the "traditional" spigot in a bag at home, just need to grab the Atlas from the guy I got the AT from. I felt very weird with the Harris lol.
The AO and EI setups might be more functional but something about the BT spigot just feels right.

Shooting the AT-X today and ran a few rounds through the AXSR as well.
Regarding the AI AT, what is the advantage to the side folding stock?
I assume storage and ease of bolt removal for cleaning.
Anything else?
Also, if one has the fixed stock AI AT, and one wants to remove the bolt, I assume one has to remove the cheek riser?
If so, is this a simple process and is it repeatable?
Any information would be appreciated.
Thank you.

The folding stock is awesome
I can break it down into a very small package if I fold the stock and remove the barrel
When I tote it places I usually have the stock folded.
When I clean the rifle I fold the stock as well. No cheek piece to get in the way
The cheek piece is adjustable/removeable via some Allen screws
I don't need the compactness.
I do desire being able to remove the bolt without having to use a tool to remove the cheek piece first.
Either way the funds won't be around for this until 2025 so for now it's mid-term dreaming.
Among switch-barrel options in general, I am sold on the AT.

A folder is that one luxury item you don't think you need but when you have it you enjoy it every time you use it and wonder how you could ever not have it.
There are tricks like putting orings on the shafts for the cheek piece so it can be repeatedly taken off and put back on. The downside still is you need a tool to do this or buy the knobs to quickly remove the cheek.
If you get a screaming deal on a non folder I wouldn't hold back but otherwise I'd try and get a folder.
I didn’t know how easy it was until I had my old barrel off and the new barrel on in munites
Keep an eye on the Px and also call MileHigh and Eurooptic for demo versions
I got mine used from MileHigh and it came with 2 or 3 barrels, bipod, folding stock, and a Pelican case for under what a new one would cost me so the deals are out there
Why don't you just remove the barrel to clean it? Why leave it on the gun and fold the stock?
Seen this one on their Socials! Is it for you?full send with the Vision treatment from the boys over at GCP, almost there
I would second getting a folder..
Even if you buy some aftermarket thumbscrews to remove the cheekpiece.. you will still cut your knuckles up when running a rod through the barrel on the chassis (unless you buy an ultra long cleaning rod)
I now don't have that issue though as I've dropped my AT into a Vision Chassis.
God that stuff works like magic. I held off so long on spending that kind of money for a solvent but I’m glad I did.

The Boretech stuff works miracles. I even run their red lube in a tube on the lugs of my actions and it doesn’t fine job of that too. No more stinky Hoppes/Sweets here.

Wait till you discover wipe out by sharpshooter for the ultra lazy like myself... Prefer it over boretech honestly but BT is pretty good.....
I pull my barrels tho when I clean them just way easier that way.
Which Boretech solvent(s) do you use? I have eliminator and find it works pretty well at dissolving copper but is weak on carbon?
I'm always looking for a magic bullet when it comes to cleaning, will check out Wipe Out also.

For what it's worth I've talked to a well respected barrel head guy here and while he doesn't hate BT he has seen quite a bit of issue with regards to corrosion. I sent my barrel in for evaluation because of some abnormal pitting in the last 4" of barrel. He asked if I shot it suppressed (always) and if i used boretech. He believes a the BT stuff that isn't dry patched out and immediately followed up by a good oil cause premature pitting ESPECIALLY when shot suppressed.
I was all in on BT until this experience. Not rushing what are now $450 barrel blanks

Very nice. Those carbon Bulls on these SA guns look really good and also perform well. You are going to love it.full send with the Vision treatment from the boys over at GCP, almost there
Sporting Services sell them here in the UK... unsure about rest of the world
Sheeeet! if BT carbon remover is going to be like that I might as well pull back out my big jug o' CLR (at least it's cheap.) As long as any of these chemicals are used sparingly and patched out with IPA & dry patches afterwards it can't be that bad.
@TheBigCountry @TylerN
His other least favorite is people using CLR haha! again he said they work but you need to be extra cautious about cleaning the cleaner out and protecting the barrel after.
I had typically always run 2 dry patches after cleaning, then 1 soaked in slip2000 and then 1 dry. Apparently that wasn't enough using it with BT. Of the things I had on hand he said just go back to Hoppes 9.

Probably... he's really the only active one around lol. Just didn't want to spell it out there. Chances are if you talked to him he'd tell you the same but that's for him to say.
I figured. I have one of his barrels and it hammers
I think more than half the problem is people going ham on their barrels and not getting the shit out. Dry patch it a bunch then hit it with rem oil and you’re golden.
I don't even know where my boreguide is. That thing is probably stuck in the back of a drawer looking like my ceiling fan.
