Create a channel Learn moreI'm wondering if that price is ready-to-shoot, or if it represents a base price for the action/chassis (recall that a vendor posted an outline of the AT optioning structure, and it appears as if this rifle will be more of an "a al carte" ordering process where the barrel and skins are spec'd separately).
Exactly correct,..its a base price as everything is extra. Its an AW action with a QD barrel change , AX trigger blade and new skins/rails.
From the pics I've seen the pale brown skins are the same as the old FDE. I think AI is trying to be unique by using their own terms like "pale brown" and "keyslot."
Looks like the AT Thumb hole stock sides may be the solution to my AX pistol grip gripes.

For $377 I think I might have someone else thread the barrel.
That's what I was thinking. I thought Mile High did threading for 100 and change.

Is the base removable though? I strongly prefer to mount my scopes low and have little interest in running night vision... Not on this rifle at least.
If it's like an AW it is removable and there a dovetail under it. But what advantage to making the scope lower? Seems backwards.

I mean you don't technically need it if you have an adjustable cheek, but it makes the center of gravity lower, makes close shots easier and looks better. It looks awfully funny perched all the way up there to me. but that's just me.
Nice. The AT brings the AI into the modern age with more class than the AX IMHO.
Perhaps it comes with a pair of JNCO Jeans, I hear those are coming back too....
You're right about the lower center of gravity but it doesn't make close shots easier, just have to put the proper height over bore in the ballistic program and confirm it.
For me, I found it makes the effects of cant worse the higher the sighting device is above the bore-line.
Do a thought experiment: what if it was 12" high??
My experience is that it makes the closer shots easier as well, but YMMV
My experience with the AICS/R700 is that if you mount your scope in low rings, you can't get the the cheek spacer low enough. Seems like the ergonomics of AI rifle stocks really favor scopes mounted higher above the bore.
What if you accessed the rifle remotely?
No matter how high it is, you have to dial dope. Is it somehow easier to dial dope because it's 1/2" lower? So long a your cheek is where it's supposed to be, you have proper sight picture, proper fundamentals, and dial the right dope, the bullet impacts the poa. It doesn't matter 1/2" lower or 1" higher.
What about being higher makes it harder? Please I'd like to see this from your prospective. Have you any experience shooting an AX or any of the order chassis systems with a continuous rail? What about precision ARs? What was harder about them?
