2 out of those 4 options fuck my chances upThere are ways to move up classes... Starts with not running an moa scope, then owning 0 Larue or Leupold, then shooting supressed etc
Oh yeah baby, this shit again!
My Savage/Stevens 200 is just as good as an AI (I’ll see myself out)
Thank you
I realize what it can be. You can see my pic for reference if needed. I’m pointing out what “hurts” which is what the gun the that specific pic isn’t…..

Obviously you have not put your eye behind a ZCO before?

Probably the only AI I’d buy. A good old fashioned “classic”
You forgot ArkenThere are ways to move up classes... Starts with not running an moa scope, then owning 0 Larue or Leupold, then shooting supressed etc
Had my eye behind both my ZCO and my Arken EP5 last night
I’ll be the first to admit. NOT EVEN CLOSE!!
ZCO is new to me though. I’ll admit that. I’m a NF ATACR whore though
Seems like this goes without saying, there’s no mystery here. Its a robust long range precision rifle. You do the same thing with it you did with your other long range precision rifles.
Bless you my good man I assumed that was a given.... 0 asian optics... That outta get the atacr, vortex, and march Bois all fired up
Sako TRG M10 is one choice.
Not even close to popularity in the US, but think it is as good as AI if you compare it these two.
In EU there are countries like Estonia, and Finland that has chosen Sako TRG M10 in to a new sniper rifle system, and Canada too.
And i dont think it is difficult to a propper gun smith to do a change barrel for this rifle.
Trigger is by far one the best 2-stage trigger i have pulled.
Take a look one of these too.

I think those are way sexier than any AI.Sako TRG M10 is one choice.
For sure not as sexy as AI, but everything on around on the action, it is.

I'm good. The range I shoot at has enough PRS shooters, possibly the biggest PRS style range in TX.. I rather not be around any of them. Most of them have almost no common sense whatsoever and have 0 clue about firearms safety. Plus, I don't want to buy a tempurpedic pillow to shoot PRS. lol

Trg's are legit as well. If prefit barrels were easier to come by I love that trigger too
Yeah barrels. The old stocks breaking. And clip ons are their biggest draw backs
I dont know, would the TRG line be more "legit" if it would offer the calibers that people more use in the US, than the military ones that it now only offers, exept the 6.5CM.
I love the action in TRG 22/42 and specially on the M10, it is butter smooth.
And i know a gentleman, who also loves Sako TRG action too, the sire Frank by him self.
Frank first rifle was a Sako TRG 21/22.

Don’t forget gouging on the bipod, mags and optic mount. The rifles were cheaper but they fucked you on the add-ons.
A gem from back in the day:
Nailed it....
Also love how people think you are larping cuz you might be smoking yotes at night... Aight bra I guess.
Was this at Carson?
Alright, that's a sweet rifle, no question about it..
But why does it look like you let the gold medal winner of the special Olympics drooling contest fingerpaint it?
That’s what makes it special. You’ll always know who’s rifle it is. It grows on you too.
That had to cost at least 350 flips! Nice rig.
It cost so many flips, old Flip is starving in jail right now
Fuck no. I can’t even get his mugshot, he couldn’t fit in the frame

Figured you for a Harris guy
I had one of those, until a nice fella here hooked me up with an Atlas
I’d buy an AI in a heartbeat if they just didn’t suck so bad
This is some of the most low skilled trolling I’ve seen attempted here.
You should be ashamed
Why AI? Things like...
Owned an AICS 1.0, 1.5, AXSA but now use AXSR and AT-X Chassis'.
Fan boy? No, just sick of messing around with inferior shit. I appreciate AI as a business (their history, experience and staff) they are good people with good intentions and have been supportive to me personally that I appreciate.
The market is full of outstanding options, there are so many amazing rifles and stocks available, buy and use what you want. Don't worry about everyone else.
- Swapping barrels with an allen key, without a clamp or vise in 60-90 seconds
- Changing bolt bodies on the AXSR from 308 to 300wm in 5 seconds
- Solid folding stocks that fold over the bolt for a more compact rifle, not the other way.
- Barrels that are simply chambered and threaded... Not needing blocks and other machined parts (Barrett, DTA etc.)
- Good pre-fit barrels available off the shelf
- Magazines that hold 10 rounds, are metal and are compact
- High quality machining
- Competition: Easily adaptable with weights, barrels, LOP etc. Bolt lift is heavy and can be disruptive however.
- Hunting: Heavy but tough and tolerant of dirt, snow, water. Wont bend like a banana if you slip. My 20lb AXSR is the primary field rifle.
- Practice: As above, accurate, fairly predictable and easy to work on.

The only thing I want AI to do is come out with a damn 223 platform.
That’s the one drawback. I know you can get bolts made, but if AI came out with a 223 AT-X I’d buy one tomorrow.

Because it’s not a DD5.

Bro.... I'm dead... You shoulda tagged him
Let it slow burn. I’ll tag Emily and wait.
Or a 223 bolt for my AXMC
For me, I bought an AX because I wanted the easy button (barrel swaps, available prefits, great 2-stage trigger, AW mags, sage green 
etc).
Importantly, if I didn’t like it, the resale on AI’s are pretty amazing. Customs are harder to get rid of and it seems one suffers a worse “haircut” with this route.
Usage: I was planning on shooting prairie dogs this summer in 6br to compliment my 204/17 Hornet but my damn eyes both fell apart. Next year, I hope.
Maybe now that I know a little more about good actions and where to find prefits then I’d go that way. Didn’t know that stuff very well when I got the AI.
Anyway, that’s my story.

TBH at the end of the day while they're expensive they're no more costly than a decked out custom. I don't own an AI. I use their chassis with my Tempest. However to act like my Tempest build was well short of 5K would be laughable. It's also investing in the system to some degree. Much like the MRAD, SRS, and M10.
But yeah if you don't want to run through all the options of trying to figure what action, stock, and barrel you want, but want a comp ready rifle that will shoot with customs it's there.
OP
If your at a match, see if someone will let you fingerfuck/shoot their AI.
I think once you do you’ll be sold. If not, then a custom may be what you seek. But there’s so many options there these days, that’s a whole other thread.

Husky touched on it, but the AI action paired with its AW magazine is probably the most foolproof design ever made. Reliable operation and feeding from a magazine in a bolt action rifle has been basically perfected in the Accuracy International rifle…
