I just saw this on IG. Nice man !
I’ve made some changes to my AT, swapped the Gen 2 Razor for an AMG and added the Big Dog Steel spigot mount since I’m trying out a Wiser Precision mount for my Magnetospeed and needed a mounting point for it in front of the bipod.
16” .308 barrel that was cut from a factory AX308 barrel
26” OTM 6.5x47L barrel
I was shooting the 6.5x47L earlier today with a new load I worked up for the Berger 130 VLD. 4 of the 6 groups each had 1 flier from mistakes I made, (Grad school and bad weather have really degraded what little skill I’ve ever had. Was shooting prone with bipod and rear bag) but you can see the barrel was printing between .2 and .5 moa without my shooter errors. I adjusted the zero after the second group, which is why you see a shift in impact. You can see at the top of the target the load I’m using, it’s around the 2905-2915 fps range.
I’m looking to replace the OTM barrel soon with a Proof carbon prefit also in 6.5x47L. I’m also tempted to try the comp trigger despite my love for the original trigger.

Anyone seen a lefty long action AXMC with a 308 bolt? Do they even make them?
They make them, my buddy is running one. I'll have him send me a pic in the morning.
Sweeeeet! I’ve been asking for a 308 conversion for the 338 AXMC since they came out. Asked to place an order with MHSA and EO but neither would let me.
Here's a different one. Pic taken with my M300W thermal on black hot. Pic is kind of blurry because I took a pic of the thermals screen with my iPhone.
AX with a 16" 308 barrel I just picked up, plus all the other goodies.

Thanks for the advice!
Thanks a lot!Spuhr gets my vote. Welcome to the addiction
Searched this thread and found a few AXs with them but anyone using an elite iron bipod on an AT? Would like to see it - I’m thinking of trying one on mine.
Everyone knows Sage green is the 2nd sexiest color, just behind Elite Sand.
Elite sand ?
I have to agree. I had ordered a Sage Green AX and then last minute called back to change my order to Elite Sand lol.
FIFY
Every one knows sage green and elite sand can’t be the sexiest AI colors as they’re not offered on AT’s. Therefore PB must be the sexiest AI color.
Yeah I just bought my AT a couple weeks ago and it's pale brown
After much deliberation i'm trying to decide between a New Tubb ATR or AXMC for a switch barrel rig....
I’d go with the AXMC just because I think it’s sexier. I also prefer the AI firing pin block safety.
I doubt you could go wrong with either.
I'm kinda leaning in that direction,and then having a 33xc barrel chambered for the MC.

While I respect what that man does, I don't think I'd pick one of his guns over an AI, in addition to sure, but not over.
Oddly enough, I ordered a sage green AX308 that should be here Thursday as well. I'm stoked. I've been wanting an AI for 12 years and I'm finally getting one.
Now I need to find the right back pack to carry it in.
I would like some advice. I have decided it's time to get a new AX. I already have 4 precision rifles, 2 chambered in .308 and two chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor. I do not reload and haven't felt I've missed out on accuracy to this point as I've gotten great results with factory loads in both calibers. Since I have four short action rifles I've been thinking about an AXMC in .338LM for something different. Have any of you with an AXMC chambered in .338LM had good results with factory match loads? If this gun and caliber requires reloading to get, say 1/2 moa accuracy, then I'll most likely stick with an AX in another SA caliber. Thanks for you advice.

This thread is for aficionados of Accuracy International and perverts like me who want a glimpse at it. Take your Sako weilding propaganda elsewhere please and make room for more photos I can look at.

Agreed. Here you go! This is a picture from last year.
*Fun fact about the guys shooting these rifles, from top to bottom:
1) Upgraded to AXMC and NF 7-35
2) Upgraded to AXMC.
3) Upgraded optic to Razor G2 w/Spuhr mount.
4) My rifle...unchanged haha.
Bonus fun fact, we were shooting a match in IL, otherwise all four of us shoot suppressed!

Lol, gotta love the bashing of the topic rifle in the dedicated thread and then the shameless promoting of a lesser rifle in the same breath. This place never fails to amuse.
To be fair I upgraded because of a great deal. If I could pick a color, I would pick black because it looks most badass.
I don't think anyone questions why one would upgrade to any AI variant
Also, Sage Green will always dominate. As you can see in the picture above, the Sage Green rifle (mine) actually blends in to the grass, and since we don't live in the desert, your tan rifle will always look odd.
So your biggest criticism of AIs is the trigger? Have you felt the AI competition trigger?
You're welcome to bash AI on the forums all you want, just do it in your own thread and leave the rest of us, who enjoy AIs, to enjoy this thread about AIs... That's why it was made in the first place. Feel free to go start your own AI haters thread and have a ball!
I don't know if you have a single post on this forum where you're not mentioning how AI rifles are junk. It's getting a bit suspicious.
Perhaps, if you spent more time SHOOTING your AI, and less time LOOKING at it, you would develop the skill to appreciate it. A little less time trolling this thread couldn't hurt either.
….and then start your own thread. If you love the TRG, great! They are nice rifles. After you start this new TRG thread, post some groups, dot drills, or some other tangible proof of their immeasurable superiority to the AI. Until then, you know what you can do with your pie hole.
Did you pause to think your ACI was out of spec, not the 8.k rifle? Or is that in another thread?
I don't know you. I can only judge by what you post. So far, your posts have focused only on what you have observed about your AI, not about results obtained by using it. So the rails are out of spec. If no accessories would fit, then its a problem. If the ACI is the only one that had an issue, find a way to make it work. Modify it. Mount it to your Spuhr. FFS man, for the money and time you spent verifying whether the rails were in spec, you could've had a one-off adjustable mount made that would compensate for the rail. The ACI should have that anyway, almost everything else that attaches to a rail is adjustable these days. Stop the hand wringing, adapt and drive on.
For all your lauding the TRG over the AI, it is not superior to the AI for mounting the ACI. It doesn't have enough rail space to accommodate an ACI. I bought my AI for the accuracy, the durability, and the reliability, and it has never let me down. I didn't buy it to see how much junk I could hang on it. But, the accessories I have mounted, have given no problems. I simply adjusted the mounts to fit my rail. Were they in spec? Don't know, DGAF.

Rockne, you're sounding like a whiny bitch. For God's sake man up and get over it.
You can't be serious right? 300 yards and a level or you're doing it wrong, really?
Oh and for everyone else. Pale Brown is the best AI color.

There is at least one other thread about levels and cant. Keep it there.

Pale Brown for the win.
Rockne, I must have missed a ton of targets this match because I didn't use my $6 vial of water. Your brain is a better judge of level than any vial. But it's pointless to argue with you since you already have your mind made up my man. Welcome to the ignore list, a distinguished place of honor that only one other has managed to stoop to.
Dude seriously, stop being a faggot and go piss and moan in another thread. This is a picture thread and you're just being a fucking tool.
