Anyone know when the next shipment of AT's are expected to hit MHS?
thanks for the responses...depending on the location of the flats may determine if I can have mine cut to 18.5 and threaded.
the reason I asked about the key slot is I have an Odin works K-pod bipod mount and wondered if it will work.
still waiting to hear about the lower rail...
Thanks again
Can't wait any longer for the 24, just ordered a 20 inch one, shipping on monday!
Wondering what mount/ring is everyone using?
Euro had a 24" black folder this morning when I looked.
So the way I look at is this... I already put a $1000 deposit on an AIAT. I can get a 0% interest card and pay the remaing +/- $3000 off of my rifle in 12 months ($250 per month) same as cash. If I did pay the entire amount off with cash, I know that I would only spend the extra $250 per month on something else if it were sitting in my checking account. So it's like I am getting the rifle for only $1000.... Right??? Also means... more gear that I can buy! Now it's just a waiting game until it arrives!
Color was the issue..prefer a PB one...
Rifle came in yesterday as did the 260 barrel, can't wait to take it out tomorrow to test it out a bit. Barrel changes are a breeze and I really like the new pale brown. Folding mechanism is stiffer and more rigid than I would've even expected. Overall my impression of the rifle has been very good, will post up a range report and pictures tomorrow.
Mile High, $850 threaded. I believe they are $750 unthreaded if you do not need the threads.
Took the AT out to the range yesterday morning after getting off work, I am convinced this rifle will never leave my hands now. Only tested out the rifle with the factory 20" 308 barrel as I did not have the time or energy to get things in order to throw the 260 barrel on after working all night. Will take it out once again this week during my days off and will really put the rifle through its paces in both 260 and 308 form. Fit and finish is great, the 2 stage trigger is tuned just right, and accuracy was better than expected from hand loads I raided from another rifle. The rifle is definitely more than capable of sub .5 MOA five shot groups based on the quick 50 rounds I ran through it to get zeroed and to get everything adjusted to how I like it. I will do the additional accuracy testing as well as some tests swapping between barrels to test repeatability on my particular rifle. I am sure that repeatability is not going to be an issue as the PSR has been out in the wild for quite some time now and has proven to be very reliable by the accounts of others, just want to test it myself.
Here are a couple pictures for those wanting to see some: Folding AT 20" factory threaded barrel with the 30BA brake attach on the end.
Just a quick comparison of the new tan vs the old tan for those curious about the difference in the color. Really like the pale brown.
Very nice looking!
I just can't believe the rails there using! Someone in r&d needs a good beating!!
A friend just picked up the same rifle and ordered a new Schmidt 5-25 from europtics. They sent him some abomination of a qd mount. It was literally to high on the rifle with the cheek rest lifted all the way up. The pour guy dropped like 10k on a complete rifle, glass,hard case, barrels etc.. And couldn't even shoot it. On top of it they charged him like a 100 to bore sight it?
Would it have been that difficult to ship them with a normal height 20 moa rail then sell the night vision mount as a set with same height rail??
I am not hating on ai. I love my aw,ae and hopefully soon aw50!!
I don't know the demographics but I would bet less then 10% of civilian sales will be buying the night vision mount?
AI AT w/ Higher NV 20 moa rail & Seekins Rings w/ S&B 5-25
For those of you waiting on the correct ring height for your AI AT that are mounting an S&B PMII 5-25x56mm, I just tried Seekins .92 rings and before torquing down the rings, there is just a sliver of space between the turret housing the picatinny rail. After torquing down, the turret housing touches the picatinny. Not sure if that could cause problems or damage as I've never mounted a scope that touches the pic rail.
I have some 1" Seekins rings that I'm about to switch out to. Will have some photos in a bit for those that are curious about clearance.
Went out to the range today after throwing together some test loads to test for pressure sensitivity on the 260 barrel as I know some people have run into issues on other AIs. The AINA barrel chambered by Dave Tooley is going to be a real shooter based on the 20 rounds I put through it. Recorded a five shot group of 0.353 without having done any load development. After that group I dialed my .2 Mil down and .2 Mil left that I calculated I would need to swap to the 308 barrel and was back to the rough zero I established over the weekend. Also found that the factory AI barrel has a very negligible shift on a cold clean bore shot (high shot), others are all right there below.
Keep at it and some day you will progress past the noob stage and get some good groups...
That's a bit harsh dude
I thought it was dripping with sarcasm and was just poking fun... My take at least.
A rear monopod will be offered for the AT next year. We plan to have some new accessories at the Shot Show.

Sorry this is kinda off topic, but I'm picking up my rifle today and I was wondering if anyone has played with 175g smk's for 1,000 yd work? If anyone's shot any AI out to 1,000 and has any load data I could try out it would be appreciated. I'm even thinking about trying out some 155 palma's as I've read they move pretty fast from this gun.
plenty of guys taking 308's to 1000 yards. Check out the reloading section for load info.
Sorry should have clarified I'm looking for something really specific. There's no specific AI AT loads on there and a google search of SH for any AI loads came up empty. I was hoping to get some input from someone shooting the same gun with the same barrel with hopefully a similar load so I didn't have to start from point blank. As you know a R700 1:10 18bbl is probably going to be further off the mark than a near excact copy. Either way it's going to have some development behind it
Barrel to barrel is going to vary as much as gun to gun as far as your load. Some will be consistent but you're still going to have to do load development. It's a whopping 50 rounds max and you always get good data from it. If you want a general rule of thumb you'll get about the same velocity as you see guys getting with other match grade hand lapped barrels of the same length in the same caliber. Pick a solid bullet, and powder, load it to the jump those bullets typically like, and start your development.
You'll waste less time and components that way then you will trying loads other people suggest, most likely realizing your gun doesn't like it that much, and still start from scratch anyway.
