I’d bet it would be difficult to really see a difference between a well broken in AI bolt and the new improved lighter bolt lift. For $2.5k less, I’ll dryfire and cycle it to break it in while watching pornhu…. Jeopardy.
Jacob Bynum had/has an AW with 6 digits through the action...hands down one of the smoothest bolts I've ever touched, thanks to that much usage.My used AX308 is much lighter bolt lift and also smoother then my AXSR and AT-X.
This. My AT-X with 1,500 rounds, and a few thousand dry fires, is already noticeably smoother/lighter than my buddy's rifle with ~ 300 rounds on it.I plan to lighten my bolt lift, that’s not very heavy in my estimation, by shooting the rifle and cycling the action like my balls have dropped.
What chassis/forend is this. I need it@PlinkIt @Huskydriver not that I want to derail the thread too much but the ATX and AI AO (action and chassis only) are about the same weight. Smidge over 8lbs.
This is what I might end up running in the NRL Hunter match this month. And I’ve hunted with a fully kitted AXMC at 19-20lbs a few times. My regular hunting rifles at usually between 13-16lbs.
In regards to balance point, it’s all jacked up in this configuration, way too rear heavy. Realistically it balances right at 19-20lbs. My medium Palma barrel is too light.

I'm genuinely curious why you'd dump your AT-X for the AT-XC.
What are you seeing that makes you think it would be a worthwhile upgrade?
PM SentWhat chassis/forend is this. I need it
That’s the old gen 1 AO chassis before it was sold to vision that makes the current version.What chassis/forend is this. I need it
Anyone have the inside scope when the atx chassis for a Tikka will come to the States? I have seen picture of Tikka’s in England with them.
On my AT or AX, the only downside is the butt won’t lock into place when folded. It can flop around. Not a big deal…when I used the aftermarket thumbrest for the AX I had to remove the catch pieces and it didn’t bother me.Are there any downsides to not installing/using the plastic male and female catch pieces on the folding hinge kit? I have broken the one on my AXSR so if I don't need it on the ATX I will not install it.
Yea, my hinges are pretty stiff as well. Really don't move in the folded position unless I intentionally fold them back out.On my AT or AX, the only downside is the butt won’t lock into place when folded. It can flop around.

My hinges are kinda stiff, which is what I want anyway.
But if you’re hi-speed and ripping the rifle out of the case asap and doing some shoulder-roll into cover, I suppose you could pinch your finger in there as it snaps shut accidentally. (Or heaven forbid, on your wee-wee lol I’d pay to see that).
I just wipe mine down with a rag and relube. Usually I don't take out the FP assembly, that's an every once in a while cleaning job.What do I need to do to strip and lube bolt properly? Just hose it down with gun scrubber ?
New rifle with couple hundred rounds has smoother bolt than my multi thousand round one. Old rifle starting getting sticky after getting snowed on for a while at mkm match

Only 3 serial numbers apart.
@SierraLimaWhere did you get your AT-X wings?
Contour on that barrelKS Arms made me this very cool 21.5" barrel. Total weight in the picture with steel Heathen is 15.98 lbs.
They did a really nice job and they were really great to do business with.

Is that the Komodo Dragon? Just ordered one for a hunting/range bag hoping it would work - good to see someone else was thinking the same.I just wipe mine down with a rag and relube. Usually I don't take out the FP assembly, that's an every once in a while cleaning job.

It's a mystery ranch 3 day assault pack I've had since 2015. I've used it as a glorified range bag since getting it, it's carried my crap to and around the range very well.Is that the Komodo Dragon? Just ordered one for a hunting/range bag hoping it would work - good to see someone else was thinking the same.
I believe it's a Pacnor #4. It measures 0.82" after the shoulder taper and 0.76" at the muzzle.Contour on that barrel
The komodo is alittle on the big side but still usable. I really dont notice much of a difference in feelt between my komodo and 3dap. Both will have plenty of storage for your needsIs that the Komodo Dragon? Just ordered one for a hunting/range bag hoping it would work - good to see someone else was thinking the same.
That was my dilemma. My only holdback was that I’m one of those guys that if I have the space, it’s getting filled. Time will tell.The komodo is alittle on the big side but still usable.

The best deals are on campsaver. Usually they have at least one color of komodo or 3day. If you decide you want anotherThat was my dilemma. My only holdback was that I’m one of those guys that if I have the space, it’s getting filled. Time will tell.
Accurate Mags 300 WSM magazines are what you need.What magazine should be used for an AT-X with a 6.5 PRC bolt face.
What mag options do we have to work well?
Well where can we get us some? Found some in the EU, but a domestic 3d printer would be far easier, or a public file.......Out testing my new Burt G Pro Model AT-X wings by SierraLima. So far I'm really liking them, not to awkward to carry around amd more stable with a nice hand rest area.

Gotta say your camo paint does an outstanding job of minimizing the erect penises inherent in the AT-X. I’m not saying this as a joke…it really does.Out testing my new Burt G Pro Model AT-X wings by SierraLima.

Glad you got one before the $2000 price hike of the at-xcScored an ATX a few days ago. First bolt action I've personally owned. More of a carbine/pistol shooter. Man you really can't find that hinge anywhere.
I think I did pretty well. $3430 shipped.Glad you got one before the $2000 price hike of the at-xc
Yeh I would say you did real well. They retailed for $5200.I think I did pretty well. $3430 shipped.
