AI AXMC VS AI AT
- Thread starter Leo513
- Start date
The AT comes with a 1 in 12 twist barrel, and the AXMC comes with a 1 in 10, so their might be a significant difference with the heavier bullet weights. You can buy several fast twist barrels with the savings though. 
That being said, I have the AXMC and don’t regret it.

I can stabilize 185g Juggernauts in a 11.75 twist at 650 ASL. Unless you plan on trying heavier bullets, you'll be golden.
Isn’t that what the “MC” stands for, “Much Cooler?”
I’m pretty sure that has a broader application than the immediate AI family though.

Some people get AXMC confused with its little brother the AX.
Are you asking about the AX Short Action vs AT?
Or are you asking about the AXMC which can run both long action and short action vs an AT in short action?
I had the AT SA and then got the AX just because I liked the buttstock better then the AT. Other than that both shoot great, you can always get what ever barrel you want. I only run the 6br on my gun.

AXMC owners tend to repeat themselves
My bad. Fat fingered double post from my iPad. Corrected.
OP,
What I hope you take from this is, if you want an AI to shoot the long action calibers, get AXMC. If you want all the bells and whistles, but only in short action calibers, get an AX308. If you’re only interested in short action, and the AT checks all the boxes for you, get one. You won’t go wrong. You can pick your budget, or pick your features, they are all accurate, consistent, durable rifles. I bet if you set up one of each, and shot a group blindfolded, you wouldn’t be able to tell them apart.

If you are wanting to run shorty barrels go for the AT. It’s lighter and I have found a 16 barrel can be a pita with the keymod rail on the AX.
Does the AX308 have the same "quick barrel change" as the AXMC, but limited to short action?
Disregard: According to EuroOptic, the AX308 has the same quick change ability as the MC

The post 2014s should all have the quick barrel I believe. And yes, its only short action.

This is someone correct. The AXMC tenon is different than the AX308/AT. So I understood that you could not use an AXMC 308 barrel on a AX308 action...but I don’t know anything really.

All AI's are just that good, you can shoot them blindfolded. I certainly love all the ones I have owned!
Thanks!So far I'm not loving reloading magnums. Do it for hunting rifles but doing it in volume I like to shoot with 308 and 6.5 Creedmoor just not ringing my bell so far. Also ranges longer than 600yds are few and far between in my neck of the woods. So I'm going to enjoy my AX guilt free. The extra dollars to shoot shorties in an AXMC just seemed a bridge too far for me.
