    Pretty slick looking rifle. I like some of the refinements made on this model versus previous gens.

    One in .300NM would be badass.
     
    It looks like the AI logo maybe imprinted in the side of the Magwell, that would be cool.
     
    This is better than the AXMC because.....
     
    I thought the RRS dove tail was going to be incorporated into the chassis just in front of the mag well? Is there a separate rail that has to be added for this?
     
    Same trigger that's in the ax family

    It's a comp trigger. Different housing. So you can't put an OEM trigger from previous AI rifles. I tried it on the ASR since I like the heavier 3lb +


    @diverdon There's quite a bit of differences. Very few parts from the AXMC transitioned over to the AXSR's. I would call EuroOptic or Mile High to walk you through it

    Noticable differences

    - Reduced Action Weight
    - Small Firing Pin
    - Intergrated RRS Rail/ Grip
    - 2 Position Safety
    - Competition Trigger set at 2.5lb's
    - AR Style Pistol Grip
    - 20moa instead of 30moa. Intergrated continuous pic rail on forend (Also 20moa)
    - Keyslot instead of Gay MLOK on ASR
    - Cam-Lever LOP and Cheek Piece Adjustment. Cheek Piece 1" Longer
    - Increased Lug Surface Area, Smoother Bolt Lift
    - Still 60 degree 6 lug bolt, but lugs are in a different position. So AXMC bolt bodies aren't compatible in the ASR/ AXSR platforms

    Tennon threads are the same as AXMC.
    Yes, the ASR/ AXSR forend tubes fit the AX/ AXMC rifles. Def going to buy me a keyslot tube to replace the MLOK....

    Damn so is it a diff version of the comp trigger?
    So my axmc comp and oem triggers are not compatible?
     
    I thought the comp trigger had pretty poor reviews, though? IIRC, I’ve seen a lot of people on the hide have had their comp trigger go down. And I think Frank hinted that trigger failure due to the new trigger was a big reason why AI lost to Barrett for the PSR contract. Wonder why they stuck with it?

    Functionally I like the asr's improvements, but why they and some other companies keep machining in an angle to make ar style grips more vertical when they have vertical grips already on the market is beyond me. Engineering around the problem rather than fixing the problem. A.I. should have made their own ar style grips. It could have been epic, guys would be buying their grips to put on their matching AR's. I'm sticking with my AX. Most accurate gun I own.
     
    Yes, it's a over pressure blow out just like on the 50s.

    I’m a AI fanboy but this doesn’t do anything for me. Seems like most of these features(which I don’t care about)could have been incorporated into the AXMC without much trouble.

    Is the red dot at the front receiver ring a blowout indicator like on the 50 cals?

    ...go tell it on the mountain....

    Those that want the AI grip can have the AI grip, and those that want options can get options. I dont know why they cant get it though their thick skulls and you cant tell me its all that difficult when members here that are machine-savvy have done it.

    They got the throw lever adjust down... maybe they saving the grip for the 2021 A-W-X-R-T-S-R--whatever

    I couldn’t agree more.

    After comparing with the UK version AX MKIII LA (https://www.snipershide.com/shootin...ternational-ax50-elr-pre-order-update.6987002) I wonder if any of those differences will make it to later iterations of the AXSR. Traditional trigger guard, beefier / extra sling mount on the butt stock, 3 position ambi safety (according to the press release).

    I don’t don’t believe so, it’s clear that AI US wants the AXSR to have some fundamental differences to the AX Mk.III for the rest of the world wide market.

    Thank You for sharing. Had not seen that comparison sheet before. Definitely like that you receive the standard AI 2 stage trigger with the MKIII.
     
    My name is on the wait list for an Elite Sand AXSR in 300N, but every hour or so I check the EuroOptic Site and each time I see that 27inch 338LM in dark earth is still available the more I want it.

    That dark earth is pretty sweet, though the elite sand is shinny it's suppose to be a bit tougher. Over time the sand might show wear a bit harder.

    Go for the dark earth, who knows when the others will show up. You can always add that 300NM barrel later. :)
