HahaHello fellow truck-bed shooting enthusiast.
How far can you shoot down that lane?
. I get a solid 1k out of that particular spot.Cool! I have a range with targets in fixed positions and we just move the trucks to whatever distance we want and shoot from the beds.
Nope! I’ve seen that video before though. We shoot prone from the bed like @HD1911’s pic. And we’re civilized, so we could probably get away with it the other way too since no brakes to blow out tail lights
F that. Shimmy shake. All over the place.
Real men shoot off the ground

my man here wasting hardly any keyslot space, and i am thinking i have bunch of stuff on my rifle
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.
truck beds…they’ve got what desert shooters crave
Until you get uninvited guests crawling on your nuts cuz you laid in an ant hill
Should have learned by now: Watch where you put deez nutz.
The fire ants know no mercy. The scars fade, but the mind doesn't forget.
If you guys can spare a few ants send them to Paris...
Like Pepperidge Farms, Deez Nutz remembers.
Truth
Once upon a time on an Island by the name of Parris I was instructed to place my hand into a fire ant nest and push the world away
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 in. I can distribute some to the AI Mafia at Quantico.
God's caliber and color.
I picked up five boxes of the Berger. I length sorted it all and then reseated 5 to the length my barrel likes to give them a test.
I may have gone a bit overboard on spare bolts.
Mountic still has 1 left.

No idea where that potentially patent infringing decal may have originated from...
If anyone’s interested and wants to swap a thumbhole AT for a ATX let me know

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.
Do you guys think I’m overpriced here?
There are pics in that other thread so technically this is picture related

Complete honesty as I’ve looked at your thread recentlyDo you guys think I’m overpriced here?

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
You can get quick change axmc for less than your asking price. And axsr for close to your price.Do you guys think I’m overpriced here?

Look at the similar threads section below your post. Those show what rifles loke
Yours have sold for
I think you mean ATX. AX typically are in the $4-5k range. Unless I have missed some fire sales as of late.
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
Firearms - WTS AI AX pre 14'
Selling my AI pre 14' AX. This is a fantastic rifle but I would like to go a different route. Bipod, optic, mount, 419 brake, and suppressor not included -2013 AX, currently has a factory AI 6.5cm barrel in it with about 1050 rounds put on this season. 6.5 barrel will not include the brake...

Hello Hide. Looking to sell a Pre 2014 AIAX. Rifle is in great shape. I'm not the original purchaser and have not taken it out. It's chambered in 260 Remington and barrel in 26" long. Fully adjustable stock with monopod. Comes with 1 mag, rail adapters and bipod stud mount. Will ship in original...

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
FWIW I got my MC for 6k with 2 bolts, 2 barrels, 6 mags and a case. I sold a AX338 for 3500 to fund that purchase. So 6900 for a Pre14AX high as hell.
If I could get an AWM in 300WM for $6K I'd probably buy it and sell my TRG-42. I just prefer the simplicity of that style of chassis over the AX type chassis.
Hey was it you, i think it was; trying to get an opinion without posting price etc on FS section… i gave an opinion and got banned for a week. It was a 22” 6.5 upper.
I hate when ppl post feelers on exchange without pics price etc and get bend out of shape when someone says something.
If it is not you, my sincerest apologies up front.
