Keep the scope nice and high your neck will thank youany1 running a post14 AICS chassis, w a Vortex Razor 4.5-27x? If so, what scope height rings are you using? Im looking for a Spuhr mount but undecided btwn 1.5" (#4002) or 1.35" (#4006). Im temporarily using a G-mount thats 1.5" height and the gap btwn the bottom of the scope and the top of the rail is more than .25" Can i use the shorter mount (#4006)? or stick to 1.5"? or any other recc on mounts/rings?
I am, mine went on without too much argument though. I like it better than the curved shoe... That being said, I did just order one of those trigger shoes that Vision did recently... I really think it's gonna be the answer for me.
So I'd love to be more helpful than this, but I really can't. I think I heard about this thru Dave ( @BLKWLFK9 ) & I just contacted Vision directly. I guess they're not exactly ready to sell, but they're selling me one... Think they had like 8 of them. My guess is that they'll be available thru GCP (who I believe is importing all of their products) before too long. Sorry I can't just give you a simple link.
So since a good friend let me shoot his AIAX in 6Br. I have since bought not one but 2 AI’s. Even got a 223 kit for the AX.
The new .300 win mag. .300 NM Showed up Friday. Zeroed at 100yds and got a first rd hit at 1000yds. And thanks to Adam at mile high. Love it !

Some of us can only dream of owning a long gun like this
It was a great weekend. Got my leveling base off a buddy.
and F no, that’s not my place. It’s a AB&B. I’m AI poor.

Hey I shoot at the ranch. I assume you made it with that rig! Also green AIs ftw.
Sunday morning 1K qual.
Yessir! I got some funny looks showing up to qual at 1000 with a 20" 308 but it was GTG. Hit me up next time you're thinking about heading out there, maybe we can meet up. I know there's a few others on here that are members out there and also shoot factory AI's.
can we get afew pics of AI AICS post14 chassis rifles (no AI rifles)? are most of you running a rail on the handguard or keep it off? how about the AI scope base or aftermarket r700 base? Im having a hard time looking at the holes in the AI scope base for the AICS chassis set up, thinkin about somehow filling in the gaps.

Don’t know how I missed this one, but the colors match pretty well.
Problem with Sage green is the barrels shoot about 11% slower than any other color, and some guys have seen a 43% increase in group size with Sage after switching from any other color.
Good news is you can Cerakote it literally any other color and that stuff all sorts itself out.
Will AI offer a 277 Fury barrel ? , or will Lapua make the Hot 308 ammo again , 170gr lockbase, staked primer ?
Either one will make me happy , or BOTH
Cheers Chris

Chances of AI offering that one themselves is about zero and a half. I’m sure any barrel shop could provide one once it starts getting some widespread use.
Dog-dick-pink and Barney-purple camo still beats toothpaste green.
I don’t make the news, I just report it.

All in good fun, don’t get your panties in a bunch...
It's fine, I talked to Custom Gun Coatings like 6 weeks before the atx was even released, and sent him my chassis with these pictures for reference. I certainly wasn't going to change my order after the fact because of how AI painted theirs.
I wouldn't really call myself a car guy but I've always loved the Ford Grabber blue and the new Bugatti has a similar color. Blue, black, and red looks dope IMO.
And in case anyone is wondering, you're welcome to call CGC up and request the "official Accuracy Obsession team color camo" lol, I don't see the need to make something exclusive that really isn't.

Wow... I don’t wanna jerk off too hard since I don’t have any lotion with me on this 2.5hr drive home from the range but man..... I have really been missing out not owning a AI
Had my AXSA out that I picked up here used in the PX at the range today with my DT SRS & TS Customs build... all shoot better then me.. couldn’t help but notice how much better the AI was to drive though. All I can say is wow

It’s the craziest of feelings. I’m not even into the heavier tac stuff anymore and with kids and a young family and can’t afford a lighter field style rifle without selling the AI. Anytime I get to touch a custom build I think “man this thing is badass, but it’s just not an AI”. So I’m not selling the AI and just making it as light as I can lol. Which will probably still be in that 14 lbs range but selling my AX is not something I’m about to regret anytime soon!
MK13 Mod5 chassis with Viper skins, Stiller TAC-300, Obermeyer barrel
AIAX, Defiance Deviant 338, Obermeyer barrel
AIAW with Viper skins, Stiller TAC-30AW, Krieger barrel

What are you doing to attempt to bring the weight down? I am picking up an AT sometime this year and currently looking at ordering barrels. Trying to decide if I want to go with a CFW barrel to save a pound on these pigs. I don't mind weight, but I prefer the 12 lbs range. 15 starts to get miserable. The other build I would do in place of an AI would be 2lbs lighter, but it wouldn't be an AI. lol
Wtf am I looking at here.....
If you are asking about the big scope, yes it is a US Optics SN-9. The top rifle is .300WM, the middle is .338 Lapua, the bottom is .308.
I’m right now playing with a 4-32 NX8 after selling my Gen 2 razor (28 oz scope. It’s weight influenced my decision. I know not everyone loves the scope and other love them. I think it’s has it’s limits on the top end of magnification but in that 4-20x range its a great scope). I ordered a Victor Company rail (I know doesn’t apply to the AT). I have a 16.5” Light Palma 6.5cm barrel on order from PVA that hopefully will be here soon. I would think being conscious of weight in scope decision with a short and light barrel you’d probably be lighter than the AX, but I guess that’s under the assumption that chassis is lighter. That target weight is with TBAC Ultra 7 suppressor too.
Some Saturday Afternoon Shooting @ the Sand Pit, Elite Sand Magic that color shoots the best!
Loaded up a new lot of Varget and Winchester primers for the 308, dropped the load to 41 grains to be safe.
