In my mind it takes Eric Prince out of any running for a cabinet position for claiming that BS.

Are the US Secret Service using standard Remington 700 actions?

A 55gr American eagle at 3000-3200fps with a 5-10mph wind depending on how you play with a calculator with wind will move 1-2.4 inches at 150yds
"famous photo"? You mean from like 5 hours ago? Smell BS.
Wind Schmid! You're all assuming the kid's rifle was even sighted in.

Ordinarily, an AR-15 at this distance would be a chip shot for an experienced shooter with a good quality scoped AR-15.
Maybe the shooter wasn't trained, maybe he had a 5MOA $600 AR rather than a 1MOA $2500 gun, maybe he was shooting crappy ammo, maybe he was using iron sights rather than a scope.
Oddly, it might have been fortuitous for Trump that the shooter used an AR-15 rather than a scoped hunting or precision bolt rifle. He probably wouldn't have gotten that many shots off, however.
Specs for the rifle are;
Trued Remington 700 Blued Action
AI AX Gen 1 Chassis with RRS Arca Adapter Plate
Tuned Walker Trigger
Schneider Max Heavy Contour 26.5" barrel with 1/10" twist 300WM
Ammo is rumoured to be a Mk248 Mod0 or a derivative OR a custom procured copper based bullet designed to rapidly expand.
Optic is a 7-35x56 ATACR with Trmr 3 reticle
MARS-L is mounted on top of the rings.
TAB Gear PRS sling
The Rings are what I can't get info on. They were typically custom made in the previous gen SS Rifles then went to Badger Ordnance. Maybe they are badger rings with a custom diving board mount. If anyone can ID, please let me know.

You haven’t been paying attention to all the AI threads recently, have you… Lots of complaints about quality heading towards the shitter, while they keep jacking up prices, like everyone else. Typical of most companies post-covid bullshit.
WTF are you talking about? 1 guy in 3 pages comparing his 60° to 90° bolt lift is heavy, with the usual poors jumping in. I'll need some more specifics of "all these ai guns failing or having problems".
You completely misquoted me, I said quality dropped, not failing and having problems.
At a glance, they're nearly identical. The current versions of the SC rifles are a bit easier & less expensive to clone compared to the Mod 7s, at least at this point in time.
If you haven't already, hit up a search engine...There were some sets and a diving board mount on Gunbroker recently if you're looking - no idea if they're still available though.
Describes about 80% of PRS shooters… But, you can get away with it when using an 8 oz trigger in a 25 lb rifle, chambered in 6mm mouse fart.
At first blush, VERY hard to believe that this is legit. At the very least, if it is, the guy doesn`t have to worry about career advancement anymore. He`d be looking for another job right about now.
My after-action arm chair monday morning guess is another nut job got a gun and didn't know too much about firearms . The SS took him out [guessing] using a 308 . Sadly an innocent was murdered by a nut job .
hell when I was at CRANE the small arms guy gave me a quick tour. R700 with Lilja barrels. nothing super fancy. still got pictures of the racks full of them. these are when the USMC adopted them.
Ok, I'm game. Point me to or link all these qc issues in AIs you speak of. I stand by what I said, outside of 1 guy that expected impact prec gamer gun bolt lift and was shocked by the slightly heavier ai bolt lift. My AIs have equal bolt lift to my solus and one of my 2013 BO. The other 2013 has a parked bolt and standard fp spring and it's heavier lift than the other 60° actions I have.You completely misquoted me, I said quality dropped, not failing and having problems.
So I'm not up on all the mk13 iterations, some used stiller actions, but did that change and which mod#?
First thing I did was look at the guns and zoom in on what the rifles were and then figured there would be a thread on here lol
Fairly certain the Stiller was introduced part way through the life of what was the MK13 MOD 5, so either a Remington 700 or a Stiller action would be correct, then AFAIK the MK13 Mod 7 would be utilizing the Stiller.
Stiller came in for left handed Mod5s (tentatively called mod 6) which dumped the MARS rail and went for a Badger mount that connected to the front of the chassis to provide Night Fighting and NV capability. The stillers came in under full contract for Mod7
Badger imuns is way better than that Mars rail, good info from you 2 gents, thanks.
Have to agree on the IMUNS. Personally i like the LOOK of the MARS better.... but IMUNS is superior in every practical way.
100%.... Had a MIRS loosen up and and the MARS straight up fall off. Our fault, didn't use loctite, but yeah lol, it's a big seesaw
