Snapshot last time I took the AT out hunting.
Snapshot last time I took the AT out hunting.
This followed me home yesterday, can’t wait to go zero it in. I got it with a 6.5cm barrel. I plan to pick up a 308 as well. Also need a couple of extra mags.

SHG, hunting? Don't you think that's a little unfair when the heard of cattle is only 30 yards away
All kidding aside great looking rig.
Gotta love the AX Bike, did the ZCO follow you home as well or was it already waiting, they sure look great together.
Thanks! The ZCO also followed me home as well. A TBAC bipod also managed to attach itself to the AX on the way out of the shop. I was originally planning on putting a Kahles 525 on it, but after peeking through the ZCO and the Kahles back to back I had to have the ZCO, though they are both super nice optics. The 36mm tube also looks great on the chunky AI to my eyes as well.
You’re going to give your AX body confidence issues if you keep calling it chunky
nice looking elite sand !! I just picked mine up as well.
Thanks! I do love that Elite Sand color. Luckily Mile High had all the colors in stock so I was able to compare them and pick my favorite. I went in thinking I wanted Sage Green, but in person the Elite Sand was irresistible.
I couldn't agree more. I bought mine with only seeing pics from @Iamero and couldn't be happier with it. In person the color is awesome. kinda green, kinda tan, kinda grey depends on the lighting..
You made the right choice with the ZCO over the Kahles IMO. Mile High must have been very happy with you
but doubtful your wallet was 
I'm a newb to AI, but maybe should setup a Colorado AI shoot this summer, I know several in Colorado but I'm sure there's a bunch. Kind of like the Corvette clubs that get out and drive around, the AI club gets out and shoots around

I would be down if it's in the springs!
The trick is finding a place that is willing to allow a bunch of guys and gals to shoot...
Don't they have a club range down there? I left when I got out of the army in 2013 and haven't been back

Thanks, yes I think MH's pleasure and my wallet's are inversely proportional! I'd love to setup an AI shoot in Colorado. I'm sure we could find a spot for it. Maybe MH could sponsor it by hooking us up with range access. I know two other AI shooters in the Denver area.
Fort Carson does have a public range, but their steel doesn't go out very far if I remember. I don't want to hijack this thread so starting a new thread in the SH Local Match Announcements forum - https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/accuracy-international-only-colorado-shoot.7004902/
At this point, I’m just happy to sit outside, in the middle of nowhere, not having to wear a mask.
I'll give you $10k for that rig (with the TT)...
oh wait, I've already spent all my money, plus you probably have more than that in it. Sweet rig and nice shooting! I'm guessing you like that gain twist barrel, keep debating whether it is worth it myself. @jwknutson17 loves his AI 300 PRC, if I went LA that's probably what I'd look at, but wish Hornady would come out with a 7mm PRC based on the 300 case.

ha. Bit more than 10k
im really liking the LHGT so far, will know more after June.
You could probably neck down a 300prc to 7prc and have someone make the wildcat
I'm going to have Tooley spin me up a 7 SAUM barrel for my AT short action, I think I'll ask him his thoughts on the LHGT
Tempting, but my hunting rifle is in 7 SAUM and Norma's brass has been really decent for me, ADG also makes 7 SAUM brass. Be curious how the two compare side by side as I'm not sure what advantage a necked up 6.5 PRC has over the 7 SAUM.
@wjm308 You might limit yourself with certain bullets in the 7SAUM having to stay with 2.95" COAL to use with AW mags.
A 6.5PRC would be a better option if you can run it in an AT.
But why run a magnum cartridge in a short action when you already have a hunting rifle in 7SAUM?

@NoLegs24 bro you know better than to engage in a battle of wits with someone dumb enough to pay $5K+ for a trued R700

See, I told you there was stupidity in here today!
*starts rifle dick measuring contest*
AI: “Just let us know when we’ve pulled out enough to win”
Exact? Very cool. I'm finding the high rings, adjustable buttpad and pushing the cheekrest over has much improved the prone shooting position. It's just plain easier to get square behind the rifle.
How you ever considered the AX stock? I've thought of it, but the price is holding me back. Besides, this thing firs me so well now, kind of hate to mess with it.
Shooting rocks, my all time favorite targets. No posts, no plates, a multitude of sizes at a multitude of ranges. Keep hammering, the small ones will eventually split of become dislodged.
So I can shoot 180’s out to 1.5 miles, better against the wind than the lighter 6.5’s, love short mags in short actions. And maybe a little of - just to see if I can. I’m still on the fence.
6.5PRC in an AT really is tits, ask me how I know 
Pretty much exact other then the bipod
The high rings and moving the cheekpad slightly to the left allowed me to get square for the first time. It has really improved how comfortable the prone position is for me.
I also adjusted my LOP down to 12.5" to get the 90 degree trigger finger dialed in.
My AXMC has the other stock. It really makes adjustments on the fly super easy compared to the AT but I have never thought about changing out the AT. I don't think it is worth the money. The only thing I find that I need to change on the fly if shooting from positions other than prone is the cheekpiece. So I added the thumbwheel screws for changing the height of the cheekpiece on the AT. The adjustable butt plate is something I never touch once I set it so a quick change there is not important.

wait..... what is this voodoo your speaking! So you mean to tell me, I can run a 6.5 PRC in my AX308!?
How!?
There's now a vendor making magnum bolt heads for the AI system.wait..... what is this voodoo your speaking! So you mean to tell me, I can run a 6.5 PRC in my AX308!?
This is news to me, I know I modded my bolt to shoot WSM/PRC in my short action AX, it’ll work in an AT as well
LOL I have a Valk head that I haven’t got to Frank yet.
You sure you’re not confusing this with me ?
@samb300 does the new chassis for the at/ax, thumb rest, spigot... @trophyhunter does the modded bolts for the at/ax.
