Poor man’s AI picture thread (AICS)

[Islas82]

I figured there’s not a picture thread of REM 700 AICS builds so I’ll start one. Please add you AICS builds pictures here!

Remington 700

B14R

Also this thread:

AX Chassis- Lets see them!

All of those that have a AX Chassis, lets see what you have done to it. Whether you left it stock, or painted it. Post some pics!

Ahh I did not see that guy!

 

[MK20]

About 1/3 of the already existing AI picture thread is AICS chassis and not true AI rifles, so this thread is redundant.

 

[hafejd30]

Here’s mine. R700

It shot like an R700, felt like a R700 and definitely didn’t scratch the itch for the real thing

So I sold it and bought an AIAT.

Don’t be poors gentleman. Do yourselves a favor and get the real thing. Zero regrets ever. Get in the real AI pic thread. You won’t regret it

What I actually had

What I thought I had and didn’t need

 

[MK20]

Here's the funny thing, too. By the time you get a decent R700 in an AICS built up, you could have almost bought an AE or be halfway or more to an AT.

Not if you’re going for an AX though which might be the choice for most.

 

[MK20]

Yes, but if your logic is that you can't afford an AX, so screw an AE, and go straight to a R700, I feel sorry for you.

 

[VSP968]

I’ve got a few AICS 2.0s and an AI AT

And some spares….

 

[hafejd30]

Friends don’t let friends make believe they own AI’s

 

[cro789]

VSP968 you win. That is impressive collection

 

[Kspence49]

Anybody got an extra they don’t need anymore? I want to be cool too

 

[kft101]

I may never own an AW, so I compensate the best I can. Lol

 

[SkyScrapin]

 

[VSP968]

Here’s one I just finished for a buddy of mine. Converted an old AICS 1.5 to a 2.0….

Man I wish I could find as AXSR AICS.

 

[Papajohn]

I just wish I knew what half of these abbreviations mean. Y'all speak a different language around here!

Me, I'm just a simple M700 fan who will buy a decent scope and a different stock, but I'm not into having a rifle that costs more than my 15-year old car. All I want is MOA accuracy that I can see out to 400 yards, that's as far as our club range goes. My calibers are 22-250, 223 Wylde, 6mmBR, 6.5 Grendel, and 308. With a damaged right shoulder that will never get better, the 308 is my limit for recoil.

Essentially, I buy what I can afford and try to maximize the accuracy potential with good handloading techniques. I can't tell you what I've spent on reloading in the past 40 years, but it's probably enough for a nice house. I keep upgrading my equipment, always chasing the perfect load in each caliber, and never being satisfied. It's just a fucking quest. There is no end, no rainbow, no conclusion, and I'm okay with that. The journey is intriguing.

All you really need is an AIAT/AX/MC/SR/ZCO/RRS. Even a DT SRS in a 6CM or GT would be fun. Or just shoot a R700 and GBPSE

 

[VargmatII]

I dont have it anymore, but it was an awesome rifle!
My Mark 13 mod5-ish build. Definitly the only one of its kind in Sweden.

 

[TurdFerguson]

I mean I like the 1.5/2.0 chassis and dont hate a 700….

 

[VSP968]

Zeroing this pig this morning.
I can go hot @ 0900.

 

[Jester308]

The girls 223 plinker I put together, currently being parted out to get them into a 6.5CM. The chassis is staying though!

 

[BigSkyRF]

Can I get that in Engrich Prease?

 

[BurtG]

^think ive changed scopes on that 7mag more than i shot it

 

[BurtG]

Atx is mo better and cheaper.

How do you keep the women off you?!?,?.???

How did you go about sweeping the handle?

 

[TurdFerguson]

Will the Badger Ordinance Maximized Recoil Lug work on a 700/AIAT Chassis combo? Or will it be too tall/need fitting?

 

[Trigger Monkey]

It's too tall, when my barreled action had one it needed to be chopped down in order to keep from bottoming out. When I had the action rebarreled I had it replaced with a Badger M40A6 lug and it fit perfect with no mods.
