Any higher scope mount recommendations? Currently running a 1.5" mount and its not quite high enough even with cheek piece bottomed out and all the way right. I have big cheeks.
Looking for a 1.7" or so mount. I know badger makes one but its cantilever and may run into eye relief issues.

Have you considered the taller action rail?
I have finally put together a AT-X after shooting an AXSA since 2019, and an AT prior to that.
Factory 24” 6.5cm with TBAC Dominus
7-35 ATACR in Badger C1
21lb-3oz empty

It's something we've been working on, they're almost ready
Did not know that was an option until today. Leaning this route.
Your rifle looks great. What color / coating did you use?
Be prepared for the pot metal screws red loc tited in
Patriot Brown Cerakote by Primal Finish. It was originally one of the blue ones EuroOptic had marked down.

No, theres one less blue one in the world. It’s patriot brown Cerakote.
I was there, it was a bad batch of primers. He is one of the best shooters in Australia and no fault of his.
Comp setup:
Zermatt Origin
TT 2 Stage Diamond
25” 6GT
TBAC Dominus
MKM Precision Grip
MK5 5-25
ARC M Brace
Any chance you can get a close up picture of the grip? How do you like it?
I like it. Very modular with the panels and thumb shelves. It’s thinner than an Ergo in the hand and I wasn’t a fan of the texture options hence the goon tape.
Sage green 700aics chassis just shipped! Sweet! Anyone find themselves wanting a lower cheek piece? I know I do!
I see anarchy outdoors makes a cheek piece for AX buttstocks that lowers the cheek near 3/8". However this part doesn't cross over to ATX. Anyone interested should start sending request for one, letting Anarchy know that there may be demand. I've fixed my ai atx up with the high action rail and 1.5" mount, works well with cheek as low as possible and offset a lil right. However the 700aics atx suffers, mounts higher than 1.5" that are non-cantilever have very few options. I see spuhr makes a 2" high mount but I don't think I need that much, nor want my scope that high from bore. My 700 clone actions dont have available higher pic rails either.

Whats the deal with balancing these rifle/adding weights?
I see a huge variety in setups ups with different scopes, cans, and external weights with not obvious trend. Some of the setups look like they’d be very muzzle heavy compared to others.
It doesn’t seem like there is anyway to add weight to the butt, so are these quite rear heavy as standard?
Or are there some weights guys are adding to the forend and butt that I am not seeing?

I think you want it balanced a few inches in front of the mag well
You’re forgetting the scopes. The scopes add a rear biased 2-3lbs. Weights on the front allow a shooter to move the CG forward of magwell to their preference.
@jwood1284 If you look at these two rifles they both have cans and 4lbs worth of keyslot weights, which would imply that they are very arse hevy even with heavy scopes on them.
As compared to these two rifles which have very little weight added forward.
You would expect the ones with cans and all the weights added to be very muzzle heavy with no rear weights added.

“Balance” is relative.
The blue one posted above is mine… I prefer it to be front heavy as it helps me control recoil better. Now that doesn’t mean that’s what works for everyone, but that’s what I like.
Realistically a long/heavy barrel and suppressor alone will offset the weight from the rear. No weights/bipod factored in. The first 2 weights in front of the magwell don’t really do much to change the balance point either.
It’s the weights more towards the fore end/bipod that kinda shift balance forward… but I wouldn’t call the gun “extremely” ass heavy in any configuration.

Thanks to this thread and @ITR_98_111 I now have one. Have 6GT barrel on the way. Setting it up for PRS and it may just give my impact a run for its money.

What grip is that? I'm not in love with the mdt.
I believe so, kind of an upper chassis, lower chassis and a stock assembly.
Spoke with MH which said they have the ATX Hinges available in stock P/N 29795BL but you will need to call to purchase. Limited available at the moment so call fast.
Just got a new TS Customs 6 dasher barrel for my atx. How do you guys keep the barrels from getting dinged up and scratched when swapping.
I had the factory 6.5cm barrel cut down to 18” for hunting. And its pretty scratched up. I know its a barrel and doesnt really matter but I wanna keep it nice for awhile anyways.

Lmao. I figured this was coming. After all its just a damn barrel.

Spray paint is cheap
Scratches my barrel all to heck but you don’t see it under the bridge.
I’d go with what @Huskydriver says, or Run stainless and you won’t notice any scratches…
But thanks for reminding me why I’ve kept this pic in my phone over the years
I agree with all the barrel scratch memes above...
But if you care, maybe change the barrel like I think the AI manual says. Sitting with the rifle between your knees so you can drop the barrel straight in the action. That might minimize scratches but I've never tried, I install barrels with the rifle on a bench or tripod and scratch it up.

It’s a right of passage to beat the ever living hell out of your AI barrels.
The ones in the chassis. They're trapped, cant lose em! As long as your 700 action is aics cut, you're good. I haven't tried my aw cut fuzion in it yet to see if it'll handle aw mags.
I'd check out the XTSP MOD 22 Trigger. Isn't it the same company that makes the AI Comp trigger? May be similar, but I don't have hands on experience with it so can't actually say.
Glad to know that, have an Impact and Bix Tac Sport I'm waiting on from Straight Jacket Armory to throw into my ATX chassis. Should be a solid smaller caliber practice platform, going to be in .223.
I like that answer I have a couple surplus mk13 triggers I had sent in to be lightened.
Mk13 (mod22) adjusted by the owner is superb. Is a close match.
It is
It has that extra slack after trigger pull similar to stock AI trigger. I have one in my Vudoo tuned very close to my AX
