Picked this up yesterday, same comments I'm sure as everyone else made when they bought their first AI. Definitely wasted too much time and money on customs guns. Should have just grabbed one of these, the bolt lift is lighter and smoother than my tempests. Unsure whether I send this off for a lick of paint yet or if I'm going to swap this barrel for a 28" 338LM carbon instead. I will definitely be grabbing a .308 boltface when one pops up and will keep my ears to the ground for short action ASR mags hitting our shores.

Apologies for the delay in replying below fellas, juggling a few things this week, and children. And their flailing arms makes it more so challenging to juggle, especially my eldest.



I received a response and AO can export to Aus mate, but after setting up the rifle, unsure whether I need the cheek piece yet. I'll be moving states this year so will convert this to a folder and grab that thumbrest though, I definitely think that will be of benefit. AO has some great things on that site, had to stop myself going down the rabbit hole.



The PVA only goes up to 30 cal? I think I'll be swapping the brake out on this one sooner than later. I'll give this a run and see if I can get hands on a comp trigger.

Are there any Rem 700 triggers out yet that come close to the AI trigger?

Here is your 308 bolt body buddy.

AIAX upgrades part 1... UK’s Shooting Shed (David & Christal). Great folks at this small shop... I’ll post additional photos on the reloading forum, but wanted to share my new “bag rider”. Used with F/TR, I was looking for better control than the original OEM part offered. Really pleased! ??

AIAX upgrades - part II... Replaced my suppressor with the new APA Gen 3 Fat Bastard. Looking for a little assistance in controlling muzzle rise on the 20” barrel... as I’m struggling to see impact / plate movement. Hope to report back this month ?

That's why there are the great tunable upper ports!

Just installed the AX conversion on the AT. LOP is a bit short, even maxed out. Please tell me they make spaces for the AX Buttstock ?‍♂️?‍♂️
They certainly do... color coordinated for your stock... I believe the largest is 1/2 “... you’ll need longer screws to thread through... all factory / OEM spec’d. Good luck!

just use the black buttstock and spacer(s) from your original stock. That’s what I did.

What a great club... and they serve coffee - looking for new members? ? 400 yards is ideal... looks like a nice range - what grain bullet were you pushing?

Always looking for new members, but you have to bring your own coffee...
The hung some 3 and 2 inch targets @400
That are fun to shoot.
I was shooting a .308 pushing a 178ELDM @2750 and an AX-6.5 Creedmoor 147 @2950....

Took the AT out today. Only shot it with the 6.5 creedmoor barrel. Sadly only has access to 100y today. But I was shooting some hand loads I had built for another gun I no longer have. And the AI really liked them. First 3 rounds to confirm zero then I shot a loaded shotgun round that was stuck in the cardboard. I couldn’t believe it when I found the head. Shot a few 5 round groups and did the dot drill. Every time I shoot this gun it makes me even happier that I purchased it.

What sort of tape is on the pistol grip?
 
Has anyone got a pic of a sage green AX with a Pantone/RAL8000 S&B on it? Trying to decide on a cerakote colour

cleaning my rifle, noticed these scratches on the bolt face, you can feel them with your finger nail. Anything I should be concerned about? Never fired any powerful hand loads, just mils to moderate ones, factory federal fgmm and prime 65cm.

cant get my iPhone to focus that close, but if you zoom the picit should show up.

Nay, you’re good. Nothing to be worried about. Keep an eye on them and make sure they don’t get larger.
 
It may not be an issue where you live but here I would be concerned that to some that might fit the description of a suppressor :unsure:
