Accuracy International AT-X

They listened to some of the complaints. I’ll give them that. If the AT-XC action feels like my AXSR, then I’d call that a success. If it feels better, it’s a big win. If it supports short magnums, I’ll probably buy it.
 
Bolt sounds like it's a scaled down AXSR. The AXSR feels a little different to operate than the AT, but not earth shatteringly different. If I had to describe it the bolt pulls forward slightly when closing (CAM on close might be the right description?). And like the AXSR bolt isn't backwards compatible I'd guess the ATXc isn't either.

My ATX & AXSR bolts feel dramatically different. It’s not going to shatter the earth but it will change customer purchasing patterns.

Any insight on pricing yet? If normal ATX pricing was $5200 before they put them on sale, safe to assume north of $6k with the added accessories and the new”ish” AXSR styled action?

I'd expect pricing around what an AX used to be. Could always be wrong, but I think that's pretty safe bet.

Let’s just get this started…

“Vintage” ATX owners - grizzly, hairy chested men that eat raw steak for breakfast.

ATXC owners - soy boy, man buns with skinny jeans and hipster boots that needed a lighter bolt lift.

Well, for about $5,200 in, I guess I have what is essentially the new AT-XC (Gen 3 with bridge, hinge, and "rear grip"). I can see where the guys who bought the remainder of the AT-Xs at near $4K a few months ago would be out even less all totaled, unless I'm just missing something obvious.

I guess the AT-X MIL adds a picatinny rail to the bridge, Cerakotes the action, and adds the B&T brake?

Both of the new offerings definitely have a different optics base than mine...I'm assuming it is because I didn't intend to interface with the picatinny bridge rail..

Not going to lie, I like the looks of the AT-X MIL, and may try to clone a bit. However, I have several other rifle projects that are going to go ahead of that one.

I'll keep the rest of my opinions to myself however until I see what the new AT-Xs are going for at street price. I've been trying to talk a buddy into an AT folder all morning, but he just doesn't want to give up his MRAD SMR...loser :LOL:.

***EDITED***

Definitely see the bolt difference now. That is going to be a welcomed addition to new purchasers.

Looks like they made some machining cuts to either side of the action to lighten the action.

Should AI come out with 223 or magnum bolts it’s a guarantee now they won’t be compatible with the actions they’ll no longer be making

This right here. They aren’t hard to take apart and put back together. Just take pics along the way. AI would probably scold you for doing it but not hard. I had my AXSR stock cerakoted to match my ATX.
 
Guys,

The US version is not like any of the UK models shown above. Those were released on the AIUK site. It is closest to the comp/pro model. The US model is to be 6crd or 6.5 crd only (26 and 24" respectively, threaded and capped), and at the $6500ish price will INCLUDE the top bridge, rail and hinge. Hopefully after shot show we will have the actual part #s and be able to take backorders. 4 color options red/blk/sage green/dark earth

The pics of the dark earth above are the closest to production rifle

First deliveries of the ATXC are to be april.

Do we know for a fact if production is discontinued on the AT and AX 308 models? Or will AXSA still be available?

Asking because here it states the mil/LE model will replace the AT and AX 308. Will that be the only low end option for a factory 308? Since the model you state above is only 6/6.5 for US

Also will the Mil/LE model be available in US? Or to civilians in general

That's pretty sweet. So $1250ish more than the 2023 MAP of the ATX (probably would have been a price increase if it carried over) but you get over $600 worth of parts included with the hinge, rail, and bridge and a totally redesigned and upgraded action AND best of all you don't have to try to source a hinge that's been a unicorn.

I don’t think the AX308 has been available to civilians for a while now. Unless it was new old stock.

$6500 for the least expensive AI...

AI is crushing dreams here... I was thinking I was on my way to not being poor, but AI confirms that I am still poor.

If you want an AI on the cheap get your checkbook ready, you’ll see some ATX’s being dumped for cheap over the next 6 months. I wouldn’t even be surprised to see them close to the $3K mark.

I think the AXSR style action is cool and definitely the direction they should move. But having just snagged a black gen 3 6 creed for $3999, Im not motivated to dump mine for this newest gen. These “old” actions feel like butter after some break in so I can’t imagine this new style being light years better. The Mil version does look cool though with the color-matched action.

Yeah mine as well, also wondering if the MIL is bonded. In the Comp/Pro model they go out of their way to say:

"The non-bonded barrelled short action is"
Click to expand...
However this is missing on the MIL version. Now, I called AINA last year asking about bonding the action into the chassis and they said "no".

They explained it was not needed, nor was there room (allowance for the bonding agent). So, I wonder about the MIL version, since all the other MIL version are bonded I think? Not sure about the brand new ones, but I think they still are?

Finally, I have heard from people that the AXSA can be easily made very compact, where the AT-X can't. So for some people that is very important, but if they get rid of the AXSA and replace it with the MIL version of the AT-X I wonder if they plan to address easily removing handguard parts to make the rifle be able to pack small?

I am guessing the answer is "YES", but we won't know until someone asks directly, or else they chime in here. Though the bolt and receiver are different, I expect the tennon dimensions are likely the same for the barrels - but who knows if they decided to change that as well at the same time...

Somebody should probably also ask about the new actions bedding block/surfaces.

I think one thing they posted in the AT-XC thread is the new action uses 6 bolts instead of 4 in the AT-X.

If you look close in the picture, you'll see that the "new" action is bolted into an AT-X chassis.

In another thread, a guy at shot said that AI had removed the firing pin assembly from the new AT-XC. So no ideas to what the dynamic bolt feel is gonna be.

So who’s actually gonna drop the coin on this “new” ATXC once it hits? think I saw street price around $6500? Big jump and trying to see where the extra $ really goes
