Yeah, there were a bunch of great facilities we had access to. I wish it was a place we could have access to more often.

@mwinter501 Can you post up some pics of the rifle with the Proof? I have a Sage Green as well and trying to track down a barrel that isn't 5 months out.
Who makes this muzzle break?
It's a "Heathen" brake made by Insight Arms. If you look at the OTM Tactical website, they usually have them in stock.Who makes this muzzle break?

If you just want different color skins, then just buy a new set of skins.
If you want the whole thing cerakoted, especially in a custom pattern or camo, definitely give Branden at Custom Gun Coatings a call.

Got my hands on a comp trigger today. I think I’m going to stick with the factory trigger.
I think it breaks more crisp and feels more sturdy than the comp trigger.
I’m sure I could play more with the different adjustments, but it still doesn’t feel as robust overall.
Am I imagining things?
What is the current pull weight of the comp trigger?
Out of the box, mine was 8oz total (6oz-1st / 2oz-2nd) and was WAY too light. There was no wall, you just blew by the 2nd stage and it went off. I adjusted it up to it's current setting 1.25# (10oz/10oz) and it is basically perfect for me. No creep, super crisp break and a defined enough 1st stage wall that I don't ever blow through it and fire when I don't want to.
I don't think the trigger (comp or standard) should have any creep whatsoever. If it's adjusted too light you might be experiencing the effects of that.
I ran my factory trigger for the past 2.5 years at 3# total. I can say without a doubt that the comp trigger has benefitted my positional game, overall it makes it easier to break shots when I want to in my wobble zone, and I don't find myself fighting the trigger and grip to have the absolute perfect squeeze in order to not pull the crosshairs off target. I don't think it's light enough to use as a crutch like one might if they use a 5oz single stage trigger, but I'm sure some people adjust the comp trigger to a super light single stage and have success with it because that's what they're used to.
Will have to get scale out. I typically will adjust a trigger on feel as I’ve had the same brand triggers feel a little different despite the weight.
dumb question, can the AX308 be used for 300 WSM? I don't see a short Magnum bolt anywhere but I could be wrong... Thanks guys
I’ve dry fired enough to where the hole doesn’t bother me unless I think about it.

This is actually leaving a mark from dry firing. When I come off the grip to cycle bolt, I’m guessing I’m dragging my finger across it.
I’ll see if filing works. If not, I’m sure I’ll have a callous fairly quick and it won’t be a problem.
Debating on keeping/selling the barrel that came with my AT.
Any idea from the markings if this is a bartlein or not?

Cool. Pretty sure those are LW markings. Didn’t know they started doing 6.5 barrels. If you want to shoot a 6.5, keep it. LW barrels hammer.

Thats from the UK, London Proof 2018. Probably a Lothar Walther or possibly a Sassen (formerly Border Barrels- tack drivers)- Not sure if they're using them.Debating on keeping/selling the barrel that came with my AT.

This AE mkII just got a new lease on life. I bought it knowing that it had high mileage and was going to use it as a beater truck gun. The action and chassis were in great shape though, so I picked up a brand new .308 barrel in the PX section and BAM.... She's just like new again!

@mwinter501 nice set up. Do you have an idea of your total weight with the Khales and TBAC on the proof barrel? Love your set up. Any side profile pics? Thanks for sharing.
Here's a side pic as requested. I'll try to get a weight for it in the next few days.
How do you like the Ckye pod? I’ve been looking at those and the Elite Iron bipod. Can’t decide.

I didn't realize until just now that shorter legs are an option. I would definitely the PRS version if I were buying again. I'm 99% sure that wasn't available when I got mine. The length of the legs would be more of an issue if you couldn't widen the footprint so easily
I got mine on Black Friday and the short leg version wasn't an option, it only came available in early December. I sold mine and have an Atlas Cal on the way
Yeah, that kinda chaps me a little bit. I couldn't reasonably expect a company to update people making an order that they have a new version in the works, but it would have been really good info. I just ordered mine no more than 6 weeks ago. Now I see that they offer the shorter legs, which is nice, but they're $175. That means I'll be over $600 in a bipod... I know I have a ton of expensive shit in those pics, but I worked a LOT of overtime over many years to get that stuff.
Yeah I was a little turned off by it also. I really liked the Ckye Pod, just not the standard legs. I didnt have any issues selling it for a reasonable price in the PX.
Great looking rifle by the way, I love the Sage Green AX's and I am super jealous.
Thanks, Brother. Sage green wasn't anything that initially jumped out to me, but I got the rifle as a demo from Europtic and I really like it. I'm sure a ton of people will hate me for it, but it'll be getting a spray can camo paint job soon.
Once you come to your senses you can strip that rattle can off
