I thought retro rifles shot tighter than an 1” ?

That's .4 chief... Glad to see you upgraded that harris to a real biood
Sorry if this is a dumb question, will these fit the AX308 rifles as well?
You'd have to get a pair of AXSR forend imperial bolts as well because AXSA forends apparently use metric threads as per https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/axsa-forend-compatibility-with-axsr.7210136/ but other than that they should fit I believe
I’m such a poor my AT is now wearing Vortex PMR rings and a Burris XTR3i

Luv my PRC. USPS was supposed to deliver a new barrel Friday and I had plans to get it zeroed Saturday at Quantico, but USPS never misses an opportunity to disappoint; package 2 was delivered on time, but not the barrel, or again on Saturday. It mailed from NY and is showing stuck in Richmond (90 minutes south of me no less), which means I may see it Tuesday.
I also need to work a decent load for it using N570, RL-26 or H1000. It's a 1/9 so it may not work with the 250 Atips, I'll use the 220 Bergers instead.

I was running the 230smk over 78 gr of retumbo from a factory 1/9 at 2930 yesterday
2925-2950 is just where I'd like to be with the 220s (if I can get there from here since I'm basically at 250 ASL). I've heard a lot of good about the new 230SMKs, but don't have any to experiment with, just Bergers and Hornady 225s.
Will depend on the chamber of the PRC. The newer WM chamberings will run with a PRC all day.
Some of the older reamers used on the WM were for mainly the 170-190 class bullets. Newer chamberings allow to use with the newer longer bullets like the 200-230gr bullets. Best example of this is, a fellow member here has a Proof 300WM barrel, it has a shorter throat. Has tried with 215+gr bullets and will get pressure with almost any load. He also has a AI 300WM barrel and can shoot 215gr Bergers at 3k+ FPS. I can do the same as well with my AI 300WM barrel. My current loading is 208ELDM with 77gr H1000 right at 2946FPS. I can also load the same bullet with N565 and get 3023FPS with the same exact powder charge. We have tested the 215gr Bergers with 80-81gr of N570 and it easy to get that kind of speed with no pressure issues.
Not saying the PRC can't hang. But from what I hear there have been several revisions on the reamers uses since the PRC is showing pressure sooner than the WM. I haven't looked into it too much since I already have the WM and don't need all 3 30 cal magnums for the AI.
The barrel I'm waiting on is a fancy steel Bartlein with 5R and chambered using the AW2 reamer that relieves the base a skosh so the resizing die can do it's job; supposedly solves the clicker issue you could encounter after a few firings.
I thought you were supposed to put velcro over that area so it wouldn't get scratched up and appear used?
Do people actually shoot these things??? PUT IT BACK IN THE F'N SAFE OR IT COULD GET SCRATCHED!!!
Midway had a Red AT-X in 6.5CM at good price, impulse buy and now it's sitting next to me.
I always liked angled bag rider, so I can adjust the rifle not only via squeezing the bag, but also by moving the bag front and back. The bottom is smooth enough to easily slide the bean bag forward band backward to adjust height, yet has enough friction to hold the rifle in place how you left it.

Maybe I don’t understand how those are used but it seems to me that having an angle on the bag rider means when the gun recoils the back goes down and muzzle goes up. How is it possible to see trace or impact with an angle like that?
The angle allows you to adjust the rear bag or rear of the rifle and adjust your POA on target. Like squeezing your rear bag to adjust butt height
Recoil??
Every single one of the two matches I’ve shot at Frontline have been beautiful.
That one was beautifully windy towards the end of the day lol.
What squad? I'll bring my AT out next time you go.
Like @hafejd30 said, the main purpose is to allow more vertical adjustment in the rear. By squeezing the bag, you have certain range of adjustment, and by moving the bag for-backward, an angled rider gives you about 4in of additional adjustment.
If you load the bipod with your body, you will at the same time sort of load into the bag as well. And with the butt pad making a solid connection to your body, the rifle shouldn't really recoil back to tilt the muzzle up and mess up your sight picture. At least in my experience.
That said, still need to go to the range and test it out, and I may also try a flat version to compare the two.
Didn't realize you were in NC, was a hell of a windy day albeit wasn't shooting. AT east coast gang
Raleigh myself, need to setup a shoot then. With non matching skins.
I think you mentioned shooting together last time I went as well, sorry for dropping the ball and not reaching out. I was on Squad 2, it was a great group!
Finally got her home. Chambered in 6.5 creedmoor. Arken EP5, Tier 1 rings with Atlas bipod and spigot.
All good bud! I took the TRG out for that match. Needed a shake down event.
That looks great. What material did you print with?Midway had a Red AT-X in 6.5CM at good price, impulse buy and now it's sitting next to me.

They are printed with Nylon 12 powder on SLS printer, I just made a flat one as well. If there's enough interest, I can put it on my site for purchase as well.
And a can ya barbarian

Getting terrible at shooting here in my twilight years. Hunting rifle doing all the work as usual
I hope seasons open in August lll be up there for a week lol
Sooo here is the assembled Accuracy International 1.5 Legacy AICS chassis after refurbishment. Got a new fresh "paint" and new bolts to bring it back to its factory new state. Really happy with the end result :-DSo I did a thing and it worked out pretty decent.
I was able to snatch an Accuracy International AICS 1.5 Legacy chassis at a killer price(450 dollars). It had some years under its belt and was kind of rough and had the most insanely solid spraypaint on it initially. Bolts were also mostly chewd to bits… The alu-chassis was in prestine condition, other than som dust, but the panels needed som work. Nothing worked(aceton etc) to remove the paint, so I had to use more heavy tools to get it back to its original color. Im like 100% i will rattlecan it further down the road but I wanted to bring back to life the original color as a base atleast. Fortunate to have glass-blasting equipment available, and that work like magic. The final pieces are still curing(kind of shiny in wet fase) so will update again when they are fully cured
