Why no AI for a 6mm comp gun? Just curious. It can’t be for weight lol as some of the comp guns I have seen are on the ridiculous side lol. But if you can hump it then I say let them run whatever they want. So like I said, I know it’s not weight so why wouldn’t you run them in that set up?
That would be my main criticism of AI as a PRS/Comp gun. Many of us (ok mainly me, but I see it elsewhere) like to add whiz-its and what-nots and also fine tune the weight(aka Balence) and this is where the AI really falls down (I would LOVE to shoot 7PRCW in my ATX for F class as well). Its not so much that dick-mod is bad, is that there are really no accessories--they are all the other format(s). Trying to get a thumb shelf, 2 round quiver, etc is just always a PITA. It can be done, but with a couple of jobs and the bear pit to troll, i just run outta time. I need an easy button.
But as someone else mentioned, in a pinch you can use it as a club and it will still hold zero. I haven't actually used mine as a club, but I've beat on it pretty hard and it is dead nutz reliable, return to zero to the point of where in a pinch I don't have to check it even after pulling a barrel for cleaning and I got lazy and behind on my schedule.
I even like 2 stage triggers cause of the ATX--(you know the one that always breaks according to certain people around here). After using it, I've had to screw with all my other triggers as the ATX was just "sweet"
TBH I joke about 12lb lift--in real time I can't tell the difference and its to the point where I can tell if a round loads stiff or ejects hard. If you really care about bolt lift, go lift some wieghts. I can barely bench press the bar, and I can handle it. pffft.
Its a very good rifle: Not the rifle for PRS/tinkerers. Probably paying for the name. Has its limitations, but what it does, it does VERY well. Mine is now an F-Class gun as I have to shoot lefty in PRS due to my eye. And lets not even get started on LH AIs..... Probably not going hunting with it as mine has a Truck Axel Barrel, but slap a normal barrel on it, and its g2g (would also have to change scope, but as I mentioned, its setup for F-class).

I used to see 15-20 on an afternoon hunt. Now it's maybe 5-6, and usually the same couple does & fawns.
