Horses?! And we here talkin'bout rifles being expensive!!! Haha
Exactly.
My AXSR 24” 308 and 26” 6.5 (both stock AI) both balance on a piece of 3/4” ply right in the middle of the “hump” (section in front of the magwell. No added weights. As for the barrel contour, I’m sure someone will chime in with the specs but I’d imagine kind of like an M24/M40 contour.
Just lift weights
If you can bench 275 and work in concrete, you too can manhandle the AI and the 12+lb bolt lift
Exactly.
I don’t know about other SR’s, but my lift isn’t heavy at all. Pretty damn smooth and my 7yr old can run the bolt on it just fine. No idea how it compares to the older style MC/AX/AT lifts.
Is it as smooth as some custom action that slides like a greased up Lizzo down an oil slicked 70 degree angled metal slide in the AZ desert in July? No. But nothings slides that fast.

Well I don't work in concrete but I can easily bench 275, so no issues there. I was more curious how they balance for people using them in various disciplines.
The stock AI contour is a bit heavier than a medium palma. I just measured my factory 308 vs a med palma contour I have on hand.
Look at that sage green AXSR…

What kind of dual-scope mount is that?
Vertical binocular riflescope vision would allow me to shoot while leisurely reclining upon my “range sofa.”
Save me some cheddar vs. Swaro’s BTX.
Is it Cheeto-proof?
@pfl338 makes M30 barrel tennon bore guides. Remove the barrel from the action, screw on bore guide and your ready to go. He sells them on eBay.
Custom Adjustable Bore Saver Rod Guide | J Dewey Rods
deweyrods.com
Dewey custom bore guides are an option that does not require barrel removal.
AI makes a guide for the MC (which fits the SR) if you don’t want to remove the barrel. I use this occasionally but I usually pull the barrel. If you don’t care, get @pfl338 ’s guides. I have the set of three and they’re great.
Anyone here run Hornady 178 BTHP factory ammo out of their 24” AI barrel? If so, what kind of speeds are you getting?
I saw a ax 338 bore guide, is that what id want for the 300wm? There is no 300 wm option
Can you post a link to pfl338s stuff? Tried looking it up but couldn't find it
That’s what I use. Work very well. Also double as thread protectors
In a pinch - The AT / AXSA bore guide also fits the AXSR however is not held in place by the bolt stop so will move around a bit.
Being a 308, it'll work for the WM / PRC.

Man... I guess I'm weird... I just pull the barrel and punch it.....
That works also but the price is right on a screw on 3d printed bore guide so why not.
My first Accuracy International!
After lusting over these rifles for a few years, trying to talk myself out of it and into various versions of a TRG and other rifles a dozen times, I finally pulled the trigger and got an AT.
I’ve got both a 308 and 6.5 barrel for it and both have shot great so far. Working on dialing in my velocity with 175FGMM and Norma 143 GT for the 6.5.
Still working on fine tuning the stock adjustments for me, and waiting on a spigot so I can run a bipod.

Your post had a joke in it? lol
@DKN83 ‘s post seems to imply AT-X rifles are for old folks. I don’t think he was even referencing your joke per se, but responding to just the image of a AT-X.
Yours? No idea.
“The X we have at home” phrase usually seems to mean that here is the inferior version that we have access to. The unattainable original thing is much better.
If your joke is: the “inferior” thing you have is only different than the original thing mainly by color (for example, mint green vs. FDE, or folder vs. non-folder)…
well, uh, ha…ha?
Edit: Or is this a Leupold scope joke? That’s a little funny.

Crazy question.. if I was to buy a chassis say, AXSR/A Is it feasible to build a rifle from that point on? I'm just curious.

So, you’d buy a take-off AXSA chassis…and then what? Where would you get an AI action cheap enough where it would make financial sense?
Or are you mixing things up with the AI rem700 chassis? Obviously you can only put a rem700 compatible action in there (not an AI) and built out a rifle, just like you would with any Rem700 compatible chassis like a KRG W3.
If you have the cash, buy the AXSR. If you don’t have THAT much cash, buy the ATX.
But don’t buy an AX/SR/ATX chassis and put a 700 footprint in it. It isn’t worth the time and money you’ll waste building out something that’s only a few hundo less than an ATX. I wasted my time with that and other rifles…when I should have just went full AI years ago. Best firearm decision I ever made was getting the AXSR.
Others here have the $9895 - $11,169 (EuroOptic) for an AXSR or the $4250 - $5250 for an AT-X; not including tax. Not everyone has that kind of disposable income. The others have correctly stated if your goal is a real AI rifle, then buy a real AI rifle. If the goal is something to build up to as you can afford in the end, unfortunately, AI does not support such a piecemeal approach and wants you to go all in, money-wise (eBay does have AI action-specific chassis that are hard to sell because people tend to go for the Remington clone AI chassis options instead).
The factory AI's have a flat bottom square receiver action with a specific interface that only works with an AI action-specific chassis they are mated to; they will not work with other actions. If your goal is a non-AI action, like a Remington footprint or a non-Remington footprint like a Surgeon 1581XL, then yes, your approach is 'feasible' (AXSR go for about $1500-$1700 used on eBay or the PX, if you can find, with retail from $2000-$2760). On the low end with an AXSR chassis and a Remington 700 barreled action swapped in, you are at about $2700-$3300, all in, not counting scope. If you get any aftermarket action like a Defiance, Terminus, BigHorn, Curtis, ARC, Origin, etc., you are, like the others said, up at the price of an AT-X even with pre-fit barrels that need no gunsmith.
So given this info and what the others said, if you are ok with a base Remington 700 in an AXSR chassis, you will save a grand on the rifle set-up alone. For one more grand, you get an interchangeable barrel system on the AT-X (seen for $3250 as a base auction price on GB by MileHighShooting over the holidays, but in red color, though), but I presume that is not the 'look' you are after. If you are on a budget and are going for the 'look,' then, yes, the AXSR chassis option is feasible given these considerations. Cheers!
These consistently sell for more than they ever retailed for. No amount of communication to AI ever seems to convince them of the amount of money they are losing by not continuing to offer a legacy version.
I'm so damn proud of you guys..... Life keeping me way busy and I come back to people cracking Leupold jokes for me and shit like this.

Saw that. Always browsing GB for a AE I can pick up cheap but here we are... more expensive than both my AIs combined.
