I wonder if a replacement bolt handle that extended back and doubled as a thumb rest would work

Can we see the rest of the chassis?

Odd choice for objective size if it's not 1x on the bottom end, no?

For my sample size of 1 each (22 AT-X and 15 AT), no. The bolt lift on the 15 AT is noticeably smoother and lighter, and it hasn't been used more than the AT-X. I'm not whining about heavy bolt lift, I'd just like the action to feel as nice. Looking at the 2 side by side I think something...

This is the part that gets me. I wouldn't care about the bolt lift on my AT-X if the bolt lift wasn't significantly lighter/smoother on my 15 AT, but it is.

Can't wait to find out what a "dynamic bolt lift" is, what the heck is that supposed to mean?

Any news on a new Japanese Cronus scope?

I wasn't so much complaining about how an AI compares to other actions for bolt lift, it's that my other AI has a much better feel and also a smoother, lighter bolt lift with not many rounds on it. Just wanted to see if that matched other owners experience.

I recently picked up an AT-X and I'm just wondering, how much does the action break in/smooth out? I've got a 2015 AT that maybe has 1k rounds on it and it's night and day, even after greasing everything (yes I took the bolt apart) and dry firing 500 times or so. I'm sure a lot of you own other...

Couple questions for you, have you found that the carbon build up in the muzzle on a back bored barrel causes any issues after a certain number of rounds, if at all? Also do you know if a 1927f barreled action will fit the chassis with the longer mag housing?

Thanks for the update, still surprisingly little out there on these.

Thanks, I was hoping some of those issues would be ironed out already but I will wait and hope they sort them out.

Any updates from owners on the Curtis? Seems to be very little out there in terms of reviews and range reports.

"I was holding a 24" group except for a dozen or so pesky fliers, and that EZ tuner definitely makes the rifle shoot even though I threw it on last night"

I wish Athlon would bring back their version, the reticle is way better than either of the Bushnell offerings IMO
