Testing a used .308 barrel before zeroing the new scope with the 6.5 barrel

3F9D7D9A-017A-445D-9B76-AD927A55062E.jpeg


Old well used factory 7.62x51 barrel did good for 4 shots with Hornady 155 steel match till I pulled he 5th shot.

Hornady 6.5 AG 140s also did well for 5 shots in a 18” PVA button 6.5 cm barrel

So the ASR and proof barrel get along well.

.29 MOA with the following 6mm Creedmoor

-virgin unfired and untouched Lapua cases
-Berger 105 Hybrid target moving 3041 FPS
-40.0 grains RL16
-CCI 450 primer
-seated to 2.806 COAL
-AI ASR
-Proof Carbon 6mm Creedmoor 24 inch barrel. Barrel had 136 rounds on it at time of record.
-SD of 6.7 and ES of 16
-altitude 9000 FT (Norway Flats, Uintah mountains, Utah)

All in all gents the ASR is awesome. I do want to say I have had zero issues removing any barrels with all 3 Mlok rails on there. I know others mentioned they don’t care for it. I like it. I’m fine with it. Just saying.

5 shots. No pics. We messed that plate up good after so nothing I can take a pic of. I’m going out this weekend though so I’ll get some I make amends. It was a no phone weekend in the uintahs where there’s no cell service. Hot as hell in Utah. 108 in salt lake on sinday.

Anyone in this thread use multiple hoppers on their A&D auto throw setups? I need some help finding a stand for my second glass hopper.

Spare Pyrex auto throw hopper stand?

I have a Pyrex hopper for my auto throw A&D setup. I bought a second hopper to ease the hassle of different powders. I know I’ve seen a stand for spare hoppers but I can’t find it to save my life. For those with multiple hoppers, are you using a stand, where did you find it? Thanks in advance.

Posted my question in the reloading section as well, has a little more detail and pic, but I’m not getting anywhere.

Thanks, Bro’s.

The 24 inch proof carbon barrel is exactly 2lbs lighter than the 24 inch steel 308 barrel. The gun is still heavy but it’s a little easier to move around. If I was custom ordering I’d do a 22 inch 6CM or a 22 inch 6.5CM barrel. With the hand guard length it seems that 18 inches is the shortest you can go with this fore end. I wouldn’t mind getting a shorter hand guard and a 16 inch carbon 6.5 and ride it around like the covert. Or at least have an option to do so

I don’t know the exact weight of the set up. But it’s heavy.

Seems like the proof prefits are a huge winner. Same pattern as the AXMC, right?
 
#6,187
Yes. This is an AXMC proof pre-fit. I imagine proof will update it to say AXSR/AXMC. They MSRP for 1100 but can be had cheaper. I bought mine with 136 rounds on it for about half MSRP in the PX. I didn’t lowball either. I paid his asking. It was posted for like two weeks. I couldn’t believe no one had bought it. To me that’s a steal for a Carbon AI prefit.

I know I already asked, and it seems others are interested... It would be very cool if you could weigh your rifle for us. I know I'm very eager to have hard data on the weight of that setup with that Proof barrel. Heavy to some is not heavy to others. I hiked my 18.5# SRS up to 10,000ft in search of elk before. If that ASR is less than 18#, but preferably closer to 15# with that carbon barrel I'd be all over it! If you get around to weighing it as configured, I shall be exceedingly grateful! 😁

Are you calling me soft? 😂

I’d weigh it for you man but all I’ve got a is a food grade scale that maxes out at 10lbs. I was able to Weigh the barrels.

it would be something like this. Weight of bare rifle is supposed to be 15.2lbs with a steel barrel. Scope and mount is another 3lbs. So that would be 18.2 with the scope. Proof barrel deducts exactly two lbs. so I’d estimate at 16.2 ish. Very scientific I know. I don’t even have a bathroom scale. I don’t want to know how fat I am.

I really wish I could be more help.

Well that's a start! Thank you friend. Might I suggest taking the rifle apart piece by piece, weighing each part, then adding it all up and itemize your findings here!?... LOL

- Weigh the barrel
- Remove and weigh the hand guard
- Weigh the chassis and stock
- Weigh the scope/mount
Ta-Da!

It's for science! And your fellow man :LOL:

Took my teenage son out to the 200 yard range today and let him shoot the AXSR's. 300 WM Elite Sand and 300 NM Flat Dark Earth.

Handled them well.

Here's one of my targets from the 300 NM @ 200 yards, could only get 3 off before they called the line. Still up on the falling apart backer board!

I gotta ask, how did you set up your optics? Did you lay down prone or from the bench sans optic and then move the scope to your face? The scopes look extremely far forward to what I’ve seen on AIs, and it looks like your son is scrunching his head and neck forward relative to the buttpad and his shoulder.

Just an observation as everyone is different, but I’d guess most guys optics are a good 1-2” rearward from where you have yours.

I actually have the same question.

Maybe the ASR/AXSR buttstock spacing is different, but on my AI's as well as AI chassis' my eyepiece almost always seems to line up pretty close with the forward end of the hinge unit.

Are you looking to adopt another “son”? Asking for a... uh... friend?
 
#6,200
I'm 6 ft, my neck must be long. These are setup for bench shooting for the most part. I like my scopes forward, my son is a bit smaller then me and he is as you say... scrunching up a bit. Last thing I want is scope eye :)
