Awesome, thanks man! I don't know why i never thought to file the back edge of the follower, I just took it for granted i was going to almost get my finger stuck or drop the rifle trying to reach my finger in there.

I like the bolt catch when I'm mag feeding and didn't want to permanently alter the follower so I found a free STL file online and printed a sled for my 338LM mag.

So the ASR kit mags all have followers that don’t have a bolt catch. Am I missing something. Wouldn’t you want to know when you’re empty if your life depended on this weapon? Just curious. Here is a 308 and a 300/338 Norma mag magazine side by side.

@RS14 , so YOU'RE the reason we have a 'short' handguard! :ROFLMAO:
Actually @samb300 upped it to its current length before I ordered my rifle and this barrel. Had he went longer I would of just got a longer 308 barrel to work with it. But I love my little shorty. So I’m happy he went with what he did. But boy does it make it fun to change the barrel. lol.

There will be 2 AI's with AO chassis' at that class.
I think we will actually be in different classes. I’ll be in the leo/mil class. Originally was supposed to go in April. But of course covid screwed that up. Maybe we will get to cross paths though and have a beer or two together

I tried the FGMM 300NM 215 Berger factory ammo. I bought it at $2.12 a round shipped. It comes with Norma brass.

i put all 5 on the plate at 528 yards. It was windy as hell and about 70 degrees. 3000 feet above sea level.

avg 3010. SD 21. ASR 27 inch barrel with 15 rounds on it.

Mounted a S&B 5-45 on this today and shot it for the first time. AX50 Elite Sand used the built in mono-pod and a Cadex bipod. My son's first go at a 50.

Loaded up some AMAX 750s with Hodgdon H50BMG

Finally upgraded my AI ATs glass. I was running a NF F1 3.5-15 for close to a decade on my old AE and transferred it to my AT when I got it last year. Decided to finally upgrade the glass. Shout out to the guys in the optics sale forum. They been having great deals on Schmidt and Benders for the last 2 months.
I have always been impressed with the glass, and the value proposition they have at the used prices make it a great time to buy.

 
Congrats on the purchase.

I have a few Elite Iron Bipods now, pictures above on the AXSR 300 WM. It's a non panning model, all steel. Just the standard pic rail connection. You just mount it to the bottom as shown in my pics. One of the best bipods I've used.

Just got the 50 version but didn't try it out yet on my AX50.




A quick "after action" report. I finally got the AI I traded for out to the range on Friday. What a pleasure to shoot.

The former owner was (remarkably) shooting it off-hand; I don't exactly shake like a dog sh*tting razor blades, but I would like to pick up a bipod for it.

I am thinking the Elite Iron Bipod, non-panning or panning??, aluminum, normal height, the way to go; or is there something another one I should look at?

I see Proof makes a 6.5 PRC barrel for the AX308 in the M27 pattern. Is there a short action magnum bolt that would work with the cartridge?

That barrel is most likely spec’d for the AWM. Those are the smaller thread pattern. There is no commercial magnum bolt for a AX308.
 
It's not bad at all. Like a steady slow push. The whole rig moves quite a bit, but nothing terrible.

Not sure what the weight is maybe about 30 lbs with the scope.

Shot it again today, need to dial it in a little more.

Hows the kick on that 50 or does that rifle have some weight to it ?

@Fixr care to share the link to the STL file? :)

For the 338LM


and I just noticed the same Maker has one for 308, it doesn't say which 308 mag but I will print one and report back


If you use these don't forget to thank the Maker

Nice work on the 3d printing! Would.love to have the STL file.

Other question to you guys: would you recommend an Atlas 5h bipod under the AXMC? I can pick one up for about 25% under retail so I am tempted. But will not go for it if there are better alternatives.

5h is solid for prone work, I used the standard Atlas PSR model on the AXMC and never had issue but loved the size and capability of it. I plan to use the PSR on the AXSR as well. There are many good options out there though.
 
I have used many bipods over the years and i have finally settled on the elite iron

That is indeed a fantastic bipod. However is about twice the price vs the Atlas H5 (at least for what I can get it) and impossible to get in Europe...
 
Same here with the Elite Iron, non-panning model in my case. It's been great so far.

I have used many bipods over the years and i have finally settled on the elite iron, wonderful product, really helps maintaining cant, or lack there of, during recoil with the 338 LM
 
Also check out the Tier One Evolution bipod and the Spartan Valhalla bipod which should easily be available for you to get

The files work for LA and SA mags for the AXMC

I had one and got rid of it. Stable as hell, worked a charm. That said it hard to alter tension on the fly and found it rattley and annoying. Very loose fit on the spigot unless you crank it all the way down..... which you need an Allen key if it’s the 12 o’clock position so not particularly practical.

Horses for courses though....
 
I need a hard case for my AXSA and I was looking at the AI Transit case. Anyone have experience with it? Is it worth the $775 vs a Pelican IM3300 or V800 with custom foam?
 
My used AXMC arrived, my first long action. I changed the 300WM barrel for a 300 PRC. Deciding if it will wear a Deadair Sandman-L or SOCOM 7.62-RC. Now, if I could only get some ammo. :)

ETA - That's my neighbor's crappy fence, my shitake is squared away. ;)

I can finally join the club with my “new” MKIII. Now just got to find some glass worthy of sitting on top.
Welcome to the club, an "oldie but goodie" for sure, AI's flat out shoot - old and new. If you're anywhere near Colorado, I'm setting up an AI "Fun Shoot" out near Beuna Vista on October 4th. Don't worry too much about "worthy" glass, you can put a Vortex PST II on there and it'll shoot, image may not be as nice as a TT, but the point is to hit what you're aiming at, and most decent glass can do that today.
