Back in 2021 I screwed around for a year and ran a 16-3/4” with 338ultra in 308 for all team matches. Thing was stupid quiet and had zero recoil. Had a blast. Super fun to shoot. Surprisingly it was consistant and pretty good to 750-800 yards. Like 90%+ of a 2 day team COF. Past 800 yards things got dicey quick. I was running the M118LR recipe but with 175gr Berger OTMs. I was getting 2490-2500fps.

I have continually been kicking around the idea of 18-20” 6.5CM with 338 Ultra. Eventually I’ll get it setup.

I have a 16.5" 6.5creed barrel and get 2560fps with a 140smk. Just slapped the load together I'm sure you can get a bit more out of it. Really fun setup. No problem to 1k, acts a bit like a slower 308 though with 140s. 142s and a bit more speed would do excellent.

For the pic chick's.

Sounds like 18” and 142grs would do the trick? I don’t think I can go much shorter with the ATX

Ever hear anything further about Pigg River Fall Brawl?

Yea 18 should be really fun. I'll PM you few details I got in case he needs to change anything, I don't want to commit him.

For everyone though the details will be posted Wednesday.

F that. Shimmy shake. All over the place.

It doesn't, at all (at least the kind of trucks real men drive). And if you can see my up-to 1625 yard target anywhere from the ground along my range, you're welcome to shoot it all you want (but you can't). It's across a flat hayfield with a slight knoll right in front of the target. The elevation is required.

Can anyone tell me what the diameter is of the shank on a standard 30mm tenon barrel right at the receiver interface?

I'm working on some thread protector models for fun but I only have 27mm tenon barrels.

Getting correct thread clearance when 3D printing was a b!tch.

I've been playing with designing 3D printed thread protectors and cleaning guides for M27 barrels.

Would it be against the rules for me to give away 6 of them (3 of each type) of the prototypes to someone for the cost of shipping? They're all printed in PETG and they work, however, they aren't perfect (a couple are snug on the threads and a couple don't have all of the features).

I'm not looking to start selling them I just don't like wasting things if someone else could get some use out of them.

They'd all fit in a small USPS Flat Rate box.

If that's a no go let me know and I'll delete this as I don't want to step on anyone's toes but I don't need them and I'll just wind up throwing them away otherwise.

ETA: They're boxed up along with some TRG 22/42 2013+ Cheek/LOP spacers from my design testing and heading to Defender3. Again, not looking to start selling them...I just hate throwing things away that are functional just not exactly what I want while fine tuning designs for my own use.

I’m surprised no one has jumped on that already. Atx is better at everything but not getting cold in the winter for people with soft hands

I had it listed and pulled it. I keep going back and forth on it. If someone has a decent trade or just buys it then it would help make my decision easier haha

I’m looking to do another build like my green AT. It just fits me better. Being I don’t shoot comps the ATX chassis isn’t that much of a benefit to me.

I shoot my AT several times a week currently and I’m just used to that and find it more comfortable

The couple things I want for my upcoming build is bonded chassis (for the reason mentioned in post above and same has been mentioned and tested by @samb300).

I also want the original trigger for the reliability aspect and same trigger as I’m used to. This comp trigger in the ATX is better. It’s actually a fantastic trigger. I just know guys who replaced factory AT triggers with comps and played with adjustments then had issues.

@TheBigCountry has one I’m considering. As do a few others here. I’d prefer an SFP bolt for this one but I have spares if needed

Going to set it up as a 260 Rem and 300 WSM.

Complete honesty as I’ve looked at your thread recently

Yes I do

Pre 14’ guns seem to go much cheaper here. Yours is in line with recent AXMC with quickloc prices in my opinion

I don’t know what barrel life is on that but I’d take barrel life into consideration as well as the fact I’d need tools to swap it

The short action AX models typically struggle to sell around the $3500 mark

The pre 14’ AX. Which is the short action version of the rifle he’s selling.

Yes you’re correct. Typically the AX with SFP bolt and quickloc sell $5500 ish range here

Not the case for the non quickloc model with the AT stock on them

Here’s a couple examples from 2023

Lol

He did ask for the opinion. I’d never crap in someone’s threads but since he asked here I gave an honest opinion

The AXMC ability to change between long and short action cartridges in a matter of minuets, coupled with the stock upgrade for the same price would be a no brainer.

Honestly in today’s market I wouldn’t buy an AI unless it had the quickloc. It’s what makes it such a versatile rifle.

I say when you start adding action wrenches into the equation you can start opening up the discussion to other aftermarket actions as well
