I unfortunately don't think I'd ever be able to afford or justify having a NF or ZCO.. as much as I would like one.
Be lucky if I manage to get another rifle without the wife kicking off

I switched to 65 when I still had axsa. No issues yet. Axsa were known to have too much glue around the clam shell.
It took me YEARS and going the custom route many times before I got my AT and the Vortex G2I unfortunately don't think I'd ever be able to afford or justify having a NF or ZCO.. as much as I would like one.

My wife told me I am never, ever ever ever allowed to sell it. She will probably bury me with it.
I just removed the action and then found out because of the way they milled the trigger housing that I can’t remove the trigger past a certain point or it hits the bottom of the trigger guard. But it works.
I love my AT. The only reason at this time i could possibly think as to why i might move it on is because i want to get another Long Action Rifle for some ELR at some point in the future... to save on buying two lots of glass, i might consider selling the AT and buying a MC... maybe.
Keep the AT and save for the MC. You’ll be thankful later in. One of the guys in here has the exact setup @hafejd30
If at all possible I would keep the short action and add the large frame model later. My AXSA is my favorite rifle and most practical, I haven't got to play with AT-X much yet though.
This AT is the one rifle I’ll never sell. No plans to sell the MC either but it comes down to it the AT still is king in this castle
Save for the MC or SR

I've got the flat shoe here, been sitting on it for about 6 months... Don't want to pull the rifle apart to put it in. Being lazy... Even considered shortening the flat blade to slip it in, still assembled.
Good looking rifle.
Thanks man, I didn’t want to pull it apart either. But @TheGrabiod gave me some advice after I already did. But I think it would work if you slide the stock trigger shoe forward. Then pull the trigger and can use something to keep the trigger in the “fired” position then slide the old shoe off and new shoe on. Or you can curse the rear action bolt to death like I did until I found a 5/32 ball head driver.I've got the flat shoe here, been sitting on it for about 6 months...

Yes I believe that one was discontinued by RRS. I’d look at Sawtooth’s Arca rail for the AT. It lets the gun sit lower vs the RRS rails.
Ya I got a spigot from elite iron for my bipod it gets it out front and closer the bore. I may just the RRS rail that stop flush with the fore end
Seeing reports from shot show indicating AI may replace the AT with the AT-X line. As in eliminate the AT
Anyone have any truth to this? Personally I think the AW/AT is still the best AI ever made. In green of course

Yes
AT will be a thing of the paat
Same as the 223 & PRC bolts

Can you clarify what you mean by PRC bolts?
A thumbhole AT is on the list still. Hopefully they don't discontinue then anytime soon.

It’ll go way easier with some lube
Someone here referred to the MC as "mostly a prone gun" and that's really resonated with me.
Still extremely happy with mine but I wouldn't recommend selling a short action AI to move to an MC or SR.

Yes I recall being told the same. But if finances dictate and the ELR itch grows, I may not have a choice.
Mine was getting very tough to run in a match with cold , rain and snow.
Il run dry from now on
having owned and competed with an AX and now an AT, I much prefer the AT over the AX. If AI did the transfer from magwel handguard to tube more like Cadex I'd have an AX now. That sharp drop always found a way to F me like an angry pimp when trying to set up on obstacles, it is a very nice mostly prone gun though, was always super comfortable. If I was serious about competing again and just just doing it every now and then id probably have an AT-X or drop my AT in an AO chassis, both are a lot more geared for the game, but the AT is just too sexy.
And we all know that the most contributing factor to skill is looking good
Thanks for the link!
if I have a shitty day at least i know 75+ dudes were checking me out.......And we all know that the most contributing factor to skill is looking good
I love my AXSR with all my heart, but why in god's name did they put the rear receiver bolt directly under the mag catch?? The only ball end I've found that can actually get to it is a allen wrench, and I want a 1/4" bit extension but can't find one with enough approach angle. I really don't want to knock the mag catch out every time I want to check torque.
It's a rhetorical question, they did it that way because that's the way the geometry worked out, I know.

The Fix It Sticks extended ball but worked for me.

Looks like it's time to get some Fix It Sticks, been thinking about it anyway. So, you can use the torque driver with the extended bit and get in there?
Yea. But just a heads up…their bit quality blows. I replaced all of my FiS bits with Wiha but haven’t had a chance to hunt down a Wiha extended ball bit. So far the extended ball hasn’t been used enough to show me if it too is worthless.
Those mag catch pins are directional also. So something to keep in mind before hammering em out and messing up the holes. And that mag catch sucks to put back in. Best to just get a quality extened ball head.I love my AXSR with all my heart, but why in god's name did they put the rear receiver bolt directly under the mag catch??

Weirdly, I prefer using the MC in comps compared to the AT but both will do just fine!
@JayjayUK you can try my MC at Bisley or one of the PRS shoots and see for yourself
[I appreciate the sin of using a Harris on any AI, I have repented]

Looking to get a gen3 razor for my AT. What height spur is that? Will 1.18” clear?Nothing wrong with a Vortex on an AI
Mine is a NF ATACR 7-35
This is the one on mine...But it is on a AI 20 degree rail.

Just had this shorty Proof barrel worked up by SPR, loving it. 16.5” 308.
15.8lbs as pictured if anyone is curious. Will likely toss my Vortex LHT on here for deer season too, can’t wait!
