Official Accuracy International AT First Look
- Thread starter Lowlight
- Start date
The AT and the AXMC appear to have the same scope over bore ratio but the rail of the AXMC makes it less noticeable. I guess the height issue is not a big deal to me.
My new AI AT in 260 & 308 arrived today. Had MH install the OTM low rail, which would allow a SP 4001 0MOA Spuhr mount with plenty on barrel clearance. Of course, those were Out of Stock everyehere, so I decided on the Spuhr SP 4006, so my AI AXMC and AI AT would be twins. Took the S&B 5-25X and QD Atlas bipod off my AXMC, so I could get her zeroed tomorrow. My TT525P hasn't come in yet and my QD Atlas bipod won't arrive from Orkan until Tuesday! Pictures arn't the best, since it was dark outside and hard to get a good focus.
I sure hope she shoots as nice as she looks!!! Can notice the 2lb weight between the two rifles and great center of balance when carrying her.
I must admit that came across the same issue that others mentioned earlier-the three extra mags would not fit into the magwell! I put them in a large vise and squeezed the until the sides bowed out 1/16 to 1/8th inch. Popped them out and they slid right into the magwell like the mag that came with the rifle. Prolem easily solved!

Great pictures! Had my AI AT out to the range today and zeroed both the 260 & 308 barrels. Inyerestingly, the zero shift vertical was exactly the same as in my DTAs-1.2-1.4 mils depending on the conditions. The horizontal shift was exactly opposite 0.6 mils left on the AIs and 0.6 mils right on both DTAs.
By the way, I'm selling the DTA you sold me with all the stuff, but a different Pelican case. My son wants to keep the tan one you painted. Also keeping the 338LM bolt and 26" Kreiger barrel and magazines I got from Russ. Since I fully retired last week, hope we can get together again sometime in the next year. Will be working part time in ER again 6-7 days prr month. Can pick the days and times of my shifts to fit my retorement schedule. Love reloading as much as shooting and allows me to 3-4X more for the same price. Hand loaded rounds are much more accurate, as I suspect you know. SD typically between 6-9 fps! Have great shooting spot out in the northwest desert, several us us guys set up with permanent steel targets from 800 to 1275 yards with the ability to go to 2200 yards. Be safe and good shooting! Your AI AT looks awesome.
which rifle is lighter... DTA SRS A1 .308 22" barrel "OR" AI AT 20" .308 folder? Decisions factors for me on which to buy because I really like both!!!
Yep, AI logo is stenciled on there. Data book cover is a "Rite in the Rain"[emoji768] Cordura[emoji768] Notebook Cover C980. I got it on Amazon.

Same thing here gun-ho. Question regarding the ejector marks, are you guys stressing over it? Here's some pics from mine. First ones were loaded 42.4 IMR 4064, WLR, 175smk, and LC brass. 2/3 have the marks. Loaded off the lands. It would also appear on some of the starting loads;

Second set same thing but with 42.7, which is moving at about 2,720 fps. 3/3 have the marks. No cratering, bolt wasn't sticky, but I'm still being cautious.
