I just bought 24 lbs of Varget...keep on calling around, it is out there.

I thought my Bushnell G2DMR was a hog at 35oz...that new Vortex must be a boat anchor at 48oz!!!

As much as I would like to agree with you, for my own gain...I think ALL previous AI owners got shafted on the new pricing. If the new base AT308 rifle is $3550, with the bonded AW action, using double stack mags, adjustable trigger, front rail...the old AE's price just went in the shitter.

I had a difficult time getting mine to line up properly. Started tightening from the back towards the front, but the farther I got, the more offset the holes were. I had to go back and install all of them loosely and then gradually tighten as I went forward. I didn't have any strip though.

This is exactly the problem I have...I got the Viperskins with the regular grip, but with my long fingers I could use a thicker grip. Maybe something like a Hogue Hand-all? Or is the XL grip made to fix this problem?

Trust me, you will love it. I put Froglube on the bolt too...I thought it made it alot smoother than it already was.

The 1st and only load I have shot in my MKIII is 44.6 Varget under 178 Amax. OAL 2.8115 It shoots good, but I'll have to try for better.

I have an AE MK III .308 with a Bushnell G2DMR...it is an awesome combination. Quality scope...tracks perfectly, very clear optics, love the reticle. It goes great with the AI...a very robust, reliable, and accurate firearm.

Tried the BRM-S on my AI...didn't like it. Got the Atlas, love it. It is very sturdy, and well built.

I have the new GS2 with Intex frame. It seems like a sturdy system. I'm 6'2", with a long torso and I find the pack a little small (short) even when adjusted to the max. Very well made, top quality materials. Comfortable with a bunch of gear and my 17lb AI.

I sure wish Mike Lucas would ship an AI bore guide to Canada.

This thread has great timing...I just received my AE MK III, yesterday morning, and almost had a case of buyers regret. It is my 1st tac-rifle, and the most I've ever spent on a firearm. The build quality of this gun is incredible. Closes up like a bank vault. Thanks to everyone in this...

The AI AE MK III is an awesome rifle...can't wait to get one.
