Badger has the dimensions listed for them with a drawing if you wanted to navigate their shitty website. Sorry Marty.
Eh, might not be a good idea unless you compete.
but the Straight (no taper) Bull Barrels do look good. Carbon goodness.
Buddies AX...
Do you step down the contour the first couple inches against the receiver? Or do you guys let it touch the inside of the hsndguard right there?
@Huskydriver that ain’t touching. It’s a 1.200” straight proof. I also have 1.250” straights that don’t touch. Only issue I had was trying to do 1.350” straight on the ASR. That’s when it touch at the end of the tube inside. So we tapered it some.
@Huskydriver cool. 1.2” is about the minimum shank diameter you want to have for the tenon threads while still having a shoulder to make contact with the face of the action.
@Huskydriver Oh, forgot run an AXMC. That proof carbon is 1.200" straight"
Proof doesn't make a blank carbon 6.5mm that has a 1.330-1.350" Shank diameter that I'm aware of. You'd have to get a Prefit form them

Na it will be a bartlein...I have sent 3 proofs back for being garbage not a fan
@Huskydriver Don't bash a company cause you can't shoot brah... LOL
Not bashing anything...Two the rifling looked worse than a savage factory barrel, one the chamber was cut so crooked you could see it with your naked eye. It doesn't matter proof took care of the two I sent back no problem. I have had 6 proof prefits to date. 3 were duds by my standard... The other 3 were okay once I found a load for them same with the replacements...
all my bartleins have hammered right out of the gate so sticking with that

Ah, the improved rifling. It shaves off the slightest amount of copper to make it a +P load and a higher BC to boot. Genius!!
Considered the GTAC bag rider?
Here's a picture of the bag rider, Rust-Oleum Satin Nutmeg is close (not perfect) color match.
Yes but it's been awhile now since I had that one. That barrel had chatter marks all up and down the rifling too if I recall and copper fouled fiercely.
Couple AIs again doing their thing.... Spotter got a little tuckered out on the job

Took the 7 SAUM out today, hammering steel at 720 yards
Had a little 260 vs 6.5cm gentleman competition today using Franks new progressive dot target lol....6.5cm axmc beat out the aw in 260... That aw looks so good though... Got me wanting a thumbhole folder bad
Nice!! I really want to do a 7SAUM on my AT. What mags are you using and what COAL are you getting?
First bag rider made and looking for someone to test and provide feedback. First PM gets it for cost of USPS shipping only.
Thanks. Still working on a thumb rest for the AXSR and if I can figure out a worthy design you can be my tester if you want.
Absolutely sfp if your shooting 6.5cm or 6cm... Honestly I went sfp on all my bolts just easier
Yes, 6.5 cm and a 308 inbound. Hopefully I can find the SFP complete assembly. Thanks
Lightest reasonable setup I could go with for a team match. 16lbs 9.2oz with bipod. 15lbs 10.6oz without. I’ll be able to drop another 7.3oz switching from the 338Ultra to the DOMINUS when it gets released from jail in February.

Action, bolt, and tall action rail in case anyone is interested in the weight.

Question for the AI gurus
The bolt on my AT has suddenly developed some significant drag when working the action. It is almost like there was syrup on it. Not smooth like it used to be. No issues with operation but I miss the slick, smooth operation. Not really sure why. I have tried cleaning it with a carbon remover. Also tried putting a little KG gun oil on the raceways that are cut into the body and on the bottom of the housing at the rear. The bolt body does not feel sticky to me at all.
Nothing seems to help. Any ideas?

What is the condition of the bolt stop? The bolt body is guided by that, so if it is dirty or has a burr in it that could cause a rough feeling.
Did you clean the inside of the action itself? The bolt rides on the bolt stop and the outside surface of the bolt lugs, oiling the flutes on the bolt body won’t do anything.
Yeah, that’s why I said “reasonable”. The 338 Ultra is barely a pound. And you need the weight forward of the action from the top rail to help balance the rifle out. Especially when I swap to the Dominus and cut more weight.
I tried without the top rail and with a heavier suppressor and this was the best all rounded setup. Otherwise it is rear end heavy.
A shot in the dark but I would imagine the bolt stop is integral to the bolt release which should, in your case, be on the right side of the receiver.
The button you push on the side of the action to remove the bolt... That's also the bolt stop....
This groove that runs the length of the bolt and opens up at the rear of the bolt is the channel the bolt stop rides in...
Thank you sir. I have tried a thin film of oil in that channel but it doesn't help. I am going to clean the bolt stop from the inside as suggested to see if that helps
@Nik H Check the roll pins in the bolt body and make sure none have worked out of their hole. The set screw on my cocking piece backed out and let the firing pin rotate. The firing pin would hit the roll pin and push it out. I dont know if yours is the same, mine is a mk3.
