Does anyone here know what height rings are needed when mounting a scope on a AI AT high 20 MOA rail?
I got a chance to hit Quantico today to start breaking in the 300 PRC. I got 70rds down the new barrel and will be able to develop a drop chart and take the rifle to 1,000 tomorrow.
I tested the 3-D printed lead sled, safety block and extended mag release for fit and function, absolutely no issues. I also chrono'd each shot so I can track and plot the barrel's speed. I shot factory Hornady 225s (60rds) and 10rds of the Unknown Munitions 220 Bergers over some IMR 7977.
I wasn't necessarily shooting for groups but here are shots 16-20 of the Hornady, I think this Dave Tooley 27" barrel is a shooter as long as I do my part. Speed for the Hornady today was in the 2850 range, but given it was factory, there were some wild variances.

I use Dewey & Pro shot. You can check out Dewey one with your caliber
AT doesn't have continuous rail so you can get away with low rings; however, I've found them to be too low for the cheek piece even at it's lowest setting. I just put a ARC M10 QD-L at 1.38" height, with the Wiebad cheek pad that is about the minimum height as I have the cheekpiece at it's lowest.
Dies / brass you can purchase on David tubb website. Barrel you can purchase on straight jacket website or call mile high shooting.
Some 50 Action at the Sand Pit today with my son.
I had gotten the 50 model for the AX50 but didn't install it yet as you have to remove the brake.
At this point I probably will just get the 50 models and not the model you have as the only difference is the center part is steel as opposed to a lighter weight alloy.

@canezach and I at the Colorado AI fun shoot
great day for shooting, whether was perfect and steel was ringing.

I finally got my Frankenstein out this weekend:
-2014 AIAT
-LRI Bolt bushed for small firing pin treatment
-AX Buttstock
-Accuracy Obsession Chassis
-GTAC AR grip conversion
-ERGO Tactical Deluxe grip
-Area 419 Hellfire brake system
I’ve created a perfect setup to best suit my shooting types, I’m so comfortable behind it. Nothing beats an A.I, I’m so glad for the amazing companies listed above to help enhance the system.

Loving my AI and the new Straight Jacket Armory Heavy Palma barrel is a dream to shoot, what a fantastic job Nick did!
I had to do a quick double-take -- I know lots of people rock the 2 shot quiver, but it looks like you're running a 3 shot side quiver. Which brand is that and how does it hold up?
I would like to know this as well. I’m interested in doing my axsr in the 37xc. Just need to gather up some info which this site has plenty of. Anyone know where do I start with barrel length/twist. David Tubb has some info on his website but nothing is really pertaining to the AI’s. Hoping someone has done it already to
learn from.
six five Creed, I talk about it more over here - https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/straight-jacket-armory-ai-prefit.7030279/
That's what I liked about JP's design, it stands out from the norm and provides an extra round without being to bulky, we'll have to see how it holds up over time but so far I am really liking it as a backup. If it becomes a snag issue I can simply not load the 3rd round and it essentially holds the two just like the SAP version.
WOW, a fluke or did you order it with that s/n? - p.s. never sell it - unless to me of course
wonder if he’s having it made in China also since he’s fond of stealing ideas like the chinese are.
Average shooters: "I'm trying to decide between this RPR and a Howa."
AI boys: "Lemme see how fast I can make this $4500 rifle cost $8000."
Jasent on has his 37xc thread on here, he chambered it himself and has done a great job sharing his knowledge, experience and lessons learned.
Here's the way I see it:
Axmc is a solid system (THE MOST solid multi cal system in my book
Available now is everything running off a .308 bolt face in any flavor you want
Smaller 6mm options are out now as well as trophyhunter turning out wsm faced options
.300wm, .338LM, and .300nm/.338NM is proven
.33xc provides even more juice
37xc and 41xc take the system to new distances which will allow someone to run 6cm to 41xc........essentially .375CT ......ALL IN ONE SYSTEM
Then there's the .223 bolt face Frank leaked a while back from Shot
Now someone just needs to bush/make a custom .22LR bolt and mags
End goal: .22LR to caliber nastier than .375CT out of ONE rifle

When you've shot pretty much every action out there you quickly realize why A.I boys love'em. Worth every penny to get comfort and stability out of the best action and magazine system on the planet. I'm a big fan of the AX stock as well, the quick change barrel system also doesn't suck. Did I mention the 60 degree bolt throw and butter fed mags... yumm
Actually it's Sage Green.....the light makes it look Elite Sand.
I haven’t seen it talked about in awhile, but while I had everything disassembled for my chassis conversion I swapped cross bolts out on my Spuhr. It’s a decent feature for A.I rifles because we always have a 4mm Allen on our person.
I called Mile High to get the specific size for my particular Spuhr, because there are 2 sizes, then I ordered the 4 bolts from bolt.com for less than $5 shipped.
Just wanted to bring the topic backup for some that haven’t thought about it.
Edit: I know it’s dirty, it’s always dirty
FYI the Spuhr screws are specially coated with black Zinc-Nickel for corrosion resistance. The cap screws from bolts.com or any other bulk supply website are black oxide coated which is a much inferior coating for corrosion resistance. I understand the desire for using only one wrench, but when they inevitably start rusting you'll probably want to swap them back to the factory screws.View attachment 7440922

Good point. There’s also the (cheap) solution of adhering to a PMCS schedule that can help extend the life of the 4mm replacement bolts. Although it is 2020 and I’d assume there’s a place you can order 4mm bolts from that are BZN coated...”assume” being the key word
If not, maybe a market item for Spuhr or another to release? 
I guess when I replace the screws for my AO chassis if I leave them wet, I’ll do the Spuhr screw as well. Non issue for me in the Southwest, but I guess something for others to consider.
They're not easy to find...at least not for me. There are a couple places that will take black oxide fasteners, strip them, then coat with zinc-nickel. But it's really expensive, especially in small quantities. I'm sure a place like Spuhr machines their own screws and sends them in the raw to get coated. Or pays a supplier for them 100k at a time.Good point. There’s also the (cheap) solution of adhering to a PMCS schedule that can help extend the life of the 4mm replacement bolts.

Ok, did I miss something ? Last I knew Tropyhunter is doing .223 and WSM bolts for the AT/AX only (plus AI makes factory 300wm bolts for the AXMC...so no need there).....can you link the .223 bolt leak for the AXMC?
Thanks!
I think I have to stand corrected and eat humble pie.....I somehow misinterpreted this when initially posted.
It appears these were trophyhunter bolt heads

If you look at the RRS marked black buckle there is a pin that holds the nylon strap. That lever lifts up and releases the tension on the strap that is wrapped around the single objective lens. That is mounted in the QD mount. Imagine putting your thumb under the part marked RRS and lifting...

Thanks I’ll have to go and search his posts.
You and me think exactly alike. What you just said was how I convinced myself to Spend that kind of money on the Axsr. Still cried when the money left the bank account. But I got over it pretty quick
Anyone have a line on a lefty AXMC? I had a posing in the lefty section as well, just thought I would put it here also. Thanks in advance and stay safe Tack
Here’s something even better...

Affirm Samb, but no ETA on the rifles when I contacted them this week. If I get an update on ETA of the rifles will let everyone know.
Let me know if you can drum up an extra $9k for me as well
GTAC Engineering Services in the UK sent me their AR grip conversion kit, put it on this week. Massive change to the back end of the rifle, feels like a different beast with the Ergo flat top AR grip.
Have only put 20 rounds through it, still very much getting used to the new shape.
Might try the MPA grip, that will no doubt need a bit of a beating with a dremel on the back end to fit up snug.

I’d highly recommend the ergo tactical deluxe. They make it in flat top and regular. It’s what on the AXSR. It’s thicker and far more vertical than the regular ergo you’ve got there
Perfect way to wrap up the week. Family time, Jameo, a Training Sights’ package, and a box of AI goodies.
UK Sporting Services has an awesome CS team. Ordering process was easy, quick, and I think they had my stuff shipped same day. Hardest part was me telling my bank that I’m placing an order from another country lol.
As for the Training Sights, this is way better than what we used to do with overlay paper lol. Dude is a HOG and got these sent out to me so I can help the wife unfuck the peeps in her unit with their M17 proficiency (or lack thereof in some cases). The reticle ones are for my weekly zoom classes with my brother and a buddy to help them unfuck themselves as best I can lol. 1,000% worth checking out and ordering a set of you ever take someone else with you to the range or have friends/family/teammates that you want to train up.
Fun Fact: I had just hit send on an email telling them I never received my package (because B Post is an absolute shit show #IfYouThoughtUSPSWasBad #BPostWishesTheyWereAsEfficientAsUSPS) when the neighbor’s kid knocked on the door and handed me my box-o-goodies.

This is my dream gun. I just can’t talk myself into turning loose of the money. The more I look at this picture the closer I get.PSR in 338 configuration. Love the AI platform.
