Thanks to Jason at Euro Optic for his courtesy and a smooth transaction yesterday when i picked up my AX338. Im still all smiley as it was a journey selling things and saving for her. She has a 20" barrel, quick adjust buttplate, cheek piece and monopod. Scope is a Leupold Mark 4 ER/T sitting on a zero MOA AI scope mount.

beautiful weapon. if i had the space on a consistant basis to use a 338 i would get a AIAX in 338 as well. for now my barrel for my DTA will have to work.

Not if you photographed your rifle in a Bordello . . . . .

You lucky SOB, man that is a thang of beauty. I want one to go with my JP LRP-07. I have it narrowed down to either 1) SURGEON AX .338 or 2) AI AX .338 not sure which way yet because I would love to keep it AMERICAN. Made In USA does sound good.

You can wait months to get your surgeon built or in that wait time you could scrounge a little more monies and get the real AX right away. She is a pricey monster! Either way they both will be pure awesomeness!!
I prefer to buy American too esp, at this point in our economy. But i have bought over 3 Remmy 700s over the years and stuck AI stocks on them and i finally wanted the real thing. The Leupold ER/T with the world's largest elevation turret was brand new and is American

Re: OMG! I Finally Got an AI AX338!

I carefully made a decision for the 20" instead of the 27" as i really wanted it a little more compact to take out on bolt gun camping trips. something that would tuck away nice folded in a backpack. If it came in a 22" i probably would have bought that instead.

Re: OMG! I Finally Got an AI AX338!

The 20" AX is a great rifle, they will easily work to 1500m at sea level and give good velocities.

However the biggest beauty, you can put any barrel on you want. Nobody says if you buy a 20" 338, you have to stick to that barrel.

Find you aren't shooting past 1000 yards, keep the 20 on, going to a class where you can shoot to 2000m, change the barrel.

And this coming from a Boulderite

I can say that because I lived in Boulder County for years

Living in the County does not carry the badge of shame worn by the liberal pukes in the City, so be careful when you suggest that I am a "Boulderite."

</div></div>

What velocities and energy on target could one expect at say Sea level and at 1200 yards using 300 gr Berger Hybrids?

That is awesome!!! Guys at Euro Optics are go to go, my brother just bought DTA a few weeks ago from them.

Punkpigpen, Where in Pa are you? My brother and I have a place you could let that 338 do some running. Shoot me a PM and we can talk.

AX I saw chrono'd next to a 27" AW with the same batch of Hornady ammo was only slower by like 80-100 FPS. Not much in the grand scheme. Frank may remember better than me, he was there.
