I was expecting 1500 bare minimum honestly.
Eagerly waiting through cause i wanna throw my tempest in one.

Do you plan to offer any other chassis styles (AT, AX etc) for the Tikka or anschutz?
I’ll just keep shooting my obsolete PreProduction/ Early batch ATX’s.
Ain’t that right @SkyScrapin
Can’t be crying about wanting your rifles “early”, only to continue b*ing about accessories not being available; or minor updates to the weapon system…

Awesome you got ATXs.
But what’s early? Lol. They delivered way early of their projected release?, finding their accessory engineers or whoever they are caught by surprise and behind the 8 ball to catch up to the massive amounts of rifles flying out of manufacturing way before the expected date?
The rifles are great I’m sure. I loved my AX and I’m patriently waiting for my ATX. But let’s not bend over backwards to defend this stuff. Not just AI either, a lot of the industry. Excuse/explanation has now prioritized actual product delivery. Not pointing fingers, but we can’t deny the obvious.
One day… @NoLegs24 will cave and sell me a pre prod, republican red, single barrel small batch, slightly abused ATX. That’ll prob be later this year after TT releases their new 3-36
Tom,
Has any testing/fitting been done with the Tikka chassis and the T1X rimfire rifle (specifically, the mag well and mags)? Might make for a good 22 trainer, since the T1X fits the T3X footprint...
Looks like each got its rifle specific chassis
Not at this time
We are not working on a left hand yet but will be later in the year after we clean up all of the current changes/improvements on the AT-X rifle and AICS.

Gen 3 or Version 3 as we call it and Q3/2022. Hoping to ramp up production and improve delivery but Q3 to be on the conservative side.

Ordered Dec 17th. When can I expect it to ship?
I cannot tell you that. We will continue shipping the second production lot in February after we all get back from the Shot Show and I expect that will take us through April.

The only difference between Gen 1 & 2 is some internal chassis changes to make assembly easier. There is no external change to the chassis.
I cannot answer any questions regarding anyones order.

When do you expect the ATX chassis system to be available for delivery ?
Picked up my blue from my FFL today. Thanks @Mile High Shooting! Just a quick mock up before dinner. Don’t hate the blue as much in person, but still think it’s going to get cerakoted
Ok. Thanks Tom. So I’m looking at Feb-Apr. That’s not too promising but I’ll take what I can get.
So to summarize the differences:
Gen 1- 2 Allen screws per adjustment (cheek piece and LOP)
Gen 2- internal changed to chassis for ease of manufacture. Identical in function and looks to Gen 1.
Gen 3- single screw hole for each adjustment (cheek and LOP). Comes with thumbscrews instead of Allen set screws.
Does that sum it up? I assume the thumb screws can only be used on Gen 3 stocks since they have a single vs. dual screw holes. That’s unfortunate that Gen 1/2 owners can’t really upgrade without buying an entire new stock.

Thanks for posting here and for the LH plans Tom.
@tomirwin
Since Anschutz will not be distributing the AI/Anschutz atx variant of the chassis in Europe, will it be possible to buy it through the regular AI dealers instead?

Yes, testing has started in UK and will start in USA after the Shot Show. Expect release in February 2022.
July 2022
The changes are as you state but we will be offering a rear with thumbscrews as an aftermarket accessory. Timescale for delivery is July and you will be able to order in March

Yes
Great news

Maybe he was answering both of you...I just read that as AI is offering AT-X's in ACU digital July 22!
I was answering the question about Europe and ignoring the other comment
Next on the list after 223 bolts and the 17hmr conversion kit.
Ended up postponing my backorder to get the new Gen 3 stock. Can’t wrap my head around paying 5k waiting half a year and getting something that’s already outdated. Would be awesome if AI did some kind of upgrade program or discount on an AX buttstock or something but that’s wishful thinking.
Could probably go heavy varmint if you wanted more weight but less than a straight contour
It’s going to be a pain in the ass when cleaning for sure, but I’ll just do what I do with my Desert tech, take the barrel out to clean it.
Would be nice for AI to offer reduce cost for upgrades too the early adopters.

Lol
That’s a good one mate
This is funny...
I haven't even mounted the scope to my rifle yet, and it's outdated

Classic AI. Comes out with product and can’t deliver it to consumers. I’m sure it is because of the virus.
This will most likely be my last AI purchase because of this reason.
Nope. I'd say the ES bridges are being delivered...Classic AI. Comes out with product and can’t deliver it to consumers. I’m sure it is because of the virus.

Glad you were able to get one.
