I hunt with a few older guys that are stuck in the sight your rifle in 2” high at 100yds and you’re good out to 300-400 yds any thing further aim at the top of his back.... lol The concept of dialing in or holding a MIL or MOA based reticle is foreign to them. One guy even had a scope with MIL MIL setup, but he had no clue what he even had when I showed him he could range a target and then dial in the exact amount of elevation he needed.... He was absolutely floored......lol He didn’t even really know what the numbers represented on the turrets.
Same receiver in a new chassi. Not going to shoot significantly different.
I'll keep all of mine.

I can't justify purchasing one now that I have an AXSR. Maybe down the road....
However, it does seem like an afterthought that part of the Accuracy International label on the receiver is covered by the chassis. It's obviously cosmetic, but makes my OCD rage. JMO

Agreed, will definitely keep mine as well. Just love the ability to shoot LA and SA in one rifle.Same receiver in a new chassi. Not going to shoot significantly different.

Has anyone adjusted the factory trigger? What way did you turn the sear screw to reduce second stage creep?
Schematic says not to mess with it, but my guess is *clockwise* would reduce creep.

Then throw it in an AO chassis and save a grand!
Thanks. I’ve read a couple people successfully adjusted it.
Also read some people fubared it
Have a new comp trigger sitting here but half the reviews say unreliable amd half say they are great. $500 for unreliable isn’t cool.
If you can’t find a barrel these guys can spin up one for you no problem : @trophyhunter or @Holland375
I had picked up a comp trigger when I ordered the AT, but haven't even bothered using it, stock trigger has been rock solid.
This is 95% of the hunters I know. Two of the best hunters I know couldn't zero their own scope. I zeroed one of their rifles and he used a bore sighter to dial it in after he was hitting the bullseye.
I have one of the early comp triggers and adjusted it myself and it’s been awesome. While I was first messing with it I did get it to go off if I closed the bolt too hard so I gave it a bit more sear engagement and it’s been solid ever since. Plenty of 300wm, 6.5prc and 300prc on it
2021 Accuracy International Virtual SHOT Show coming soon!
ok, less then 2k? Like how much less? $1 🤷🏼

Okay in that case I might have crossed some wires in my brain when I was listening to the announcements. Sounds like there's no immediate plan for a long action. That said, I think it's probably just as much to do with financial decision making as it is an engineering decision. Such a product would cannibalize their newly launched AXSR line, which would certainly be bad for the company. It's understandable.
Gunsmithing - Question: Barreling a Tempest action utilizing a "breach ring"
I was fortunate enough to snag one of GA Precision's 6 lug Tempest actions before OTM sold out. Upon inspecting the action, I noted the breach ring was losely floating in the receiver where the lugs would lock. My impression was that this piece was "pressed" in. I'm wondering, how would my...

Some info in this thread.
Adjusted my factory down to 3.3lbs, left the sear screws well alone. Happy enough
You didn’t cross your wires. There’s a few bits of disconnect between what’s posted on here and what’s stated in the various videos and podcast.
You have posts saying it isn’t replacing them (AT/AX) and you have interview footage of them saying it is replacing them as well as they’re going to discontinue the AT/AX for the commercial market.
You also have statements about how making the AT-X chassis for long action would be easy and something they could do then you have posts about how they aren’t going to.
For most people, the best course of action is to just buy what you want when you can afford to do so. If something new eventually comes out, then just sell what you have, treat the loss as a rental fee, and then buy the new thing.
...except bolt bodies. Always buy bolt bodies
Sure this has been posted a number of times before. But for anyone’s else’s interest:
I do this with just about every high end shooting item I have bought in the past ten years. Mainly scopes, binoculars and LRFs.
Took the 20” 308 out to 1000 yards today. I just joined a big boy range, and it was nice to get non competition experience shooting out to 1000 yards off the clock. I learned a lot yesterday
I will 100% be buying an AT-X but man oh man is the normal AT more than capable. Out to 800 yards I couldn’t miss on IPSC plates.

i didn’t know 308 could make it to 1k
Yes and both of mine have less than 3/4 turn before it's out of range from where they came from the factory. Pretty sure I went clockwise...if you go too far just go back 1 turn and it should reset and then turn it back down again until you get the edge of being reliable
Neverrrrrr. She’s my first in the AI stable. When I need a rifle, she’s the one I grab all the time.
Usually you have to drive to the 300yd berm and shoot from there.......i didn’t know 308 could make it to 1k
Man, y'all are roasting the man while missing the best part.... It's f*ing hard to miss an IPSC out to 800y....
Do y'all even shoot?!?!
If hitting an IPSC at 800 is an accomplishment for him, that’s great. He mentioned he learned a lot and just joined a LR place. Let him have his win man.
I believe we follow each other on IG. Thus why I’m joining in on the fun.... but having explained that to you, just ruined the joke...
That’s not me on IG.View attachment 7537128
If you know the AT dude and just bustin his balls, then that’s on me for missing the joke. My bad. However, if you don’t know him and are mocking him for being proud of hitting at 800, then that’s a problem man.
Yes, I was referring to him on IG, When I said “we”.
Well, at the very least, I know he follows me
My AT weighs more than my kid; and no, other than the stock spigot and a somewhat useful scope, I don't have excess crap on there.
We have #'s for the AT-X?

Man, I GIVE one joke to roast me on, and No Legs is the only one to pick up on it.
Well here I am thinking @NoLegs24 was being an asshole to some new LR shooter but it turns out the call was coming from inside the house after the doors were left unlocked.Man, I GIVE one joke to roast me on, and No Legs is the only one to pick up on it.
No no no. With my 6.5 barrel I have cleaned KYL racks at 800-1000 yards in competition. I put the 308 short barrel on this year to really learn the wind. I still find it super cool for first round impact at 800+ yards holding .8-1.2 mils of wind on the 308.
What sizes are the kyl at 800-1000?
Was looking at buying a 8-7-6-5-4-3-2 inch and putting st 400 but maybe it should be father
I wouldn't say unreliable. I never had any issues with reliability but then again, I only used the heavier spring set and not the lighter one. I don't even think I got a lighter spring
Ive had my comp trigger for about a year now. Idk what spring mine has in it and i haven't weighed the trigger pull but it feels like its around 1lb for the first stage and 1lb for the second, maybe a hair less. Either way, i didnt dick with the sear adjustments and have yet to have any issues at all so far with thousands and thousands of pulls on it. Knock on wood. I feel 100% confident in it.
At 800 it’s a 50% ipsc, 10” plate, 8” plate, and 6” plate. 900 and 1000 are full size IPSC, down to 33% ipscs. All kyl racks have a 100% ipsc right next to it as well. I didn’t want to spend the money on joining this range but one time out, it already paid for itself, in my opinion. Ok now back to more pictures.
