Shot this one today for the first time... AXSA Flat Dark Earth, 243 Winchester. I had gotten it with a S&B and spare barrel special from Eurooptic. 4 Months later still waiting on the 6MM Creedmoor.
Had a great group therapy session yesterday. My trusty AXMC in 338 LM. Never shot the FGMM 250 grain ammo before and it was awesome. Fairly cheap too at $70/Box.
I love this rifle

Ended 5 points from 1st place in Tac division yesterday. Those berger 175g bullets really perform well, even in a 20” 308. Bullet we’re going transonic at 860 yards, and was still able to make impacts at 1000 yards.
I have a question for all of the AXMC shooters out there. Who are some of the better gunsmiths that can spin up a barrel for me. I always went to Mr. Gradous for my AT but unfortunately that is no longer an option.
I want to spin up a barrel using the new Bartlein material in a heavy contour. Not sure who can do that.

I have always used Long Rifles Inc. for my AT and AX barrels with great success. I wouldn't hesitate to use Mile High Shooting as well, Adam is a good dude and I believe they have the actual AI prints. Bonus with Mile High is they can Cerakote the factory AI colors to match
I don't like the Palma contours that AI uses. I like heavier contours. The cerakote matching would be nice but it is not as important as the right barrel.I have always used Long Rifles Inc. for my AT and AX barrels with great success.

I don't know LRI
I'm sure he'll get back to you. I called him with some questions and finalized the order by email. He's a pleasure to talk to on the phone.
I bet MH has barrel blanks in stock, otherwise hit up OTM, Bugholes, etc and find the blank you want and ship it direct to them.
Long Rifles Inc has real time reporting, so you place an order or ship them a barrel and you'll have email updates with pictures for every step of the way (receive barrel, chamber, thread, cerakote, ship). Avg wait time from order to shipping from LRI has been about 2 weeks.
Yes I believe so. I just talked to them this past week and they had no issues with me sending them a barrel once I got it from Bartlein.
Ah ok, I bought one earlier this year. No idea how many made it over here though. Cheers mate
Short Action Customs for sure as well as what others have said.
I spoke to him on Friday. He is out of town for a couple weeks. He will check in and hit you back. Everything is just slow right now.
Shot this one for the first time today. It was another EuroOptic special. One of the 5k demo rifles, that Jason got the price knocked down to 4k as it had some marks on it
AXMC 300 WM, 20 Inch Barrel, Just moved the S&B PSR Scope to it. Bore sighted, 4 rounds down the tube and on the bull! This is the first group out of the rifle. Found a tennis ball in the lot with air still in it and used that for practice too.
Left the mag home and had to use the AXSR ES's mag I had with me as well.
Neat little package, I'll entertain getting the travel case for it.
Bolt was tough to open on a bunch of the shots. Had a little brass swiping off of the base of the case. I had cleaned the chamber with a MPro7 patch and then swabbed it out with another patch. Forgot the Bore Scrubber to flush it real good. Maybe the Berger 230 Hybrid Tacticals are a little on the hot side too.

Holy smokes!
Yes indeed. One of my best deals! It was a new unfired gun... just hanging around a bit... produced in 2015
Put some glass back on the AX today. She is rocking a Near MFG Alphamount this time around. Also gave into the taller Atlas CAL, well, because I’m fat, lol! I get to go back out this weekend! It’s been a while.
Matt Yore at Sawtooth rifles. @NoLegs24 won the NF ELR shooting a 300nm chambered from him, I got 15th shooting factory hornady 300prc in a barrel he did. Here’s one of the groups, this was normal for that barrel. 5 rounds
Damn. That’s a shooter for sure!! I wonder if he can chamber a proof CF for me. Although, I ordered a prefit proof in 6.5 CM and 300 PRC. Would be nice to chop the 6.5 to 22in.
if it’s a stainless proof yes. Carbon proofs are stuck at whatever length you bought it at.
here’s another barrel he did for me. 6.5cm. This group/speeds were from the Hornady precision hunter challenge
I got excited and broke the 5th shot like a wanker
Way to not say you took 2nd out of like 120ish shooters at the Hornady Precision Hunter Steel Challenge with that 6.5CM this weekend #humblebrag.... wonder who loaded that ammo for ya?
...... Yeah I’m trying to minimize the weight for hunting. Been in the gym every day just waiting to lug this heavy MF through the hills after a monster mule deer up in the north. Need to figure out a 6 variant for yotes.
I thought the shorter a 308 barrel was the easier it was able to get to 1000y
I was waiting for the 308 jokes
Friends don't let friends shoot .308 ........just kidding some of my best rifles are .308
This is quite possible. However, I may or may not have copied your aviator imageHey Surly, we related
I recently purchased a Mystery Ranch Pop 38 and the quick detach sling kit to make the weight more manageable.

Very nice looking foursome. Nice to see somebody one gun crazier than I am.
Nice collection, on the divorce scale I might make it just passed rifle number two........... never make it to three.
never make it to three.not to mention, the glass on those riflesNice collection, on the divorce scale I might make it just passed rifle number two...........
Only one of them was bought new, and same for the rifles. Everything else has been sourced here on the hide.
16.5" .308. But it's an AW.
What’s the quad rail set up on the AW?
*ignore. Google answered my calls, Badger IMUNS I assume.
