I thought the trigger issues were fixed? Anyone know what build years that the issue was resolved?

They get resolved when you throw em in the trash and get the regular trigger pack.

I really don't get how they could make the things AI does and fail so hard at a "comp" trigger. I won't own one and it doesn't effect me personally but it's one of the things that drive me nuts about AI. They should have that barret contract.

And the regular trigger isn’t bad in the first place

Agreed original trigger always fine IMO.

For the record; the comp trigger is nice and I haven’t had any issues with it up to this point.

What happened to your trigger?

The short answer is sand.

Subjecting guns to this blowing sandy crap for a couple matches every month makes them not feel too good. I've seen several triggertech diamonds stop functioning during matches since moving here last year. The AXSR trigger pack started having intermittent failures to release at a match 2 weeks back. I've never had any kind of malfunction with the system before this. I see lots of AICS style mags malfunction from the sand.

AI said they just wanted me to send the whole gun in to assess. To their credit they turned it around within 6 hours of receiving it. Which is good because I need it for the Coal Canyon match in Raton next week, so I can look cool while missing targets.

Agreed I never felt I needed lighter than the regular trigger can give. My tighter groups I've ever shot have been with the AI trigger at a combined 3lbs give it take.

I will say even my rem700 fancy triggers I've never run less than 1.25# though and even then that's only one gun. Everything else is 2#+. I feel like anything super light is a crunch but that's just my opinion that probably is very unpopular in the match scene.

Those of you running 308 AXSR mags…

Y’all ever run into issues after reassembly where it doesn’t want to load more than 7 in the mag?

I took apart my three mags to clean em and after reassembly, they each wouldn’t take more than 7 rounds. They only go back together one way and I finger fucked it enough to get 2 of the 3 back to normal but can’t seem to get the 3rd mag working. I’ve cleaned plenty of mags and never had this kind of shit happen.

Anyone else run into this? ..or am I the only retard?

Yeah, mine did this too. I ooga booga’d mine apart and inevitably fucked them up in the process.

Make sure your spring is straight up/down and isn’t canted so the spring stacks weird/cocks the follower at an angle when rounds are loaded in the mag.
Also make sure you tweak the closed ends of the “W” of the spring so the rear of the follower presents evenly with the front (pull the closed ends out from the center of the spring).

This concludes my period of instruction. If that didn’t make any sense lmk and I can take some pictures.

I completely forgot to update my situation. Yea after I calmed down and pulled my screwdriver out of my bench top, I poured a drink and took a closer look. Stupid me but stupid issue. 😂

Now I just need to get some spare mag baseplates because I cracked mine by dropping it on concrete during a reload.

What cerakote job are you going for?

Haven't ordered just yet. Waiting for payday.

I will be getting it in Elite Sand to begin with just so it matches the rest.. then I might get the whole thing done later down the line... maybe Tungsten to compliment the Vortex Bronze

15 MC in 300NM. Now to track down brass, decide on glass and pray the atf hurries my Magnus approval.

Question though, really wanted a LE model in two tone, but without becoming a LEO I’ll settle for going a little two tone on a standard model, RRS aux plate and black barrels in the future. So where does one locate the black grip back strap?

Cheapest option is to buy a second complete rifle in a complimentary color and put them in the safe overnight with candles, a nice dinner, and slow music. Open the safe the next morning and you'll usually find this:

If you don't want to spend that much, you can buy a set of plastics in a different color. I've purchased full sets of AX plastics from mile high but it took a while as they were backordered. Lately people seem to have better luck finding them in stock at sporting services UK.

Hello AI Snobs,

Is a 3-12 enough optic for a 308 AI? The 308 is wildly inefficient compared to all these whizbang 6mm hotrods these days.

3-12? Must be a new model atacr, ZCO or TT?? Certainly your not considering using an optic of the poors 🤔

I had 4-16 on my AIAT and for hunting it was decent. Have the 4-20 now. Depends what you plan to do with it I suppose.

Personally I’m more into deciding what I want on lower power now. Then decide on upper. As I can always turn down the power. A 7-35 atacr will smash the crap out of a 4-16 atacr for range and ID. But if I’m hunting I might appreciate the 4 vs 7 in low light and closer ranges

Yes. Competed an entire season with a 3-12 on a 308.

Wouldn't mind a 3-18 or 3-20 but if you have a 3-12 it will do.

Sorry for the non AI content. I'll make up for it with a 16.5" 6.5 creed.

All I can afford is the poors
 
Any one happen to have a spare RRS BAI-AT2 plate kicking around they want to get rid of? Ordered one and was just informed by them they're discontinued.

3-12x50 S&B, one of the best optics ever. Shot years with one, never felt underpowered at range.

Couldn't agree more. The 3-12 pmii is my gold standard I measure everything against. If it was a 3-16 or 3-18 I don't think I'd ever own another scope brand or model.
