1500-2000 roughly, but that’s highly dependent on a lot of factors. Not really anything to do with it being an AXMC, but rather basic physics and metallurgy.
Shoot it until you feel it’s no longer viable.

Looks like the Cadex rail

The Cadex rail is a giant ass exoskeleton compared to whatever it was on the photo he posted. I am kind of curious myself what it actually is.
I got my 338 barrel with 900 rounds through it and it shot fine. I shoved another 500 or so down it and it started opening up and needed constant seating depth tweaks to keep it in line. I gave up on it at ~1600 rounds, So this is pretty accurate.
Here’s a pretty one caught in the wild.
The only balance in my life
Got all the way out to the range and had no dope and my kestrel was dead. Just stayed at 400yds and nailed em. Going out tomorrow morning to get some practice in and good dope out to 900yds for Raton.
Some rifles that I've owned over the years that sported AI chassis:
Mk13 Mod 5:
Mk13 Mod 7:
Mk13 Mod 5:
Mk13 Mod 7:
Inspired by the PROOF Research paint jobs they offer on their complete rifles. The AI distributor in Australia are also the Proof dealer and Cerakote applicator so it worked out well.
Our team guns all run Proof barrels, we think they shoot very well straight out of the box and I've had only good experiences with their quality and pre-fit ease of use in the AT, AXSA, AXMC and now AXSR.
Base coat, then stencil (10,000 dots!) then top colours. 4 in total I believe.

AXSR is retail sold through Accuracy International North America by Mile High & Euro Optic. Full key-slot rail as above. Imperial and metric bolts. American muzzle brakes (APA / Area419 etc. Some components are made in the UK.
AX MKIII will be from Accuracy International in the United Kingdom and their dealers. MKIII has some subtle changes, different forend rail with a mostly enclosed top half, different shaped stock and trigger guard etc. They haven't quite yet hit the retail floor yet. Metric bolts throughout most likely. AI tactical muzzle brake.

First time out with the AXSR and my 300 Norma reloads. Winds gusting 10-15, was able to get some good hits at a mile. First time mile shooter as well.
That’s a very nice setup and a even nicer location you have there!
It was black, it got blasted back to raw then painted from scratch. Lot of work involved to get it stripped down to parts.
17" 308 with 175gr Lapua Scenars and 178gr ELDX. Love this rifle.
Lil 600 yard range work tonight testing out @pfl338 bag rider. Thing is legit mad props I dig it.
Also @Precision Underground made a cover for my tbac 338 ultra SR. Fits perfect thanks homie.
This 6.5cm bartlein has 4500 rounds on it now... Still stacking em and hurting people's feelings who use a grendle huh @Mr. F @Xcount

@Huskydriver Glorious!
What magazines are you running there??
300WM style plastic base plate but short action? Are they the new AXSR 308 size mags?
Haven't seen them in person yet.

Varget and federal 205m’s are making a fuss for me today. I throw the water bottle in to confuse the local members who have only known Bushnell, Leupold, and Simmons. 
Stop being cheap and buy a new barrel already…
I got a brand new one sitting in the corner for a year.... Can't bring myself to put it on yet with the old girl still winning the gentlemens bets on the line haha
AI’s representing at the Guardian Team Match at Arena in Blakely, GA. The 16” 308 with 338 Ultra was an RO favorite

Might as well have used a 14.5” pin and welded 6BR... 
Holy length of pull Batman!
Popped it out to make it easier to put on the bag rider and snag a few pics before I shot from the prone.
Normally it's collapsed all the way when I shoot but is still really long for most people with Trex arms.
Just put a 3d printed bag rider on from @pfl338 and was just curious as to what the point of the original plastic piece there was? (photo attached) it seems a little small to be a bag rider, and it has a hole through it for what I assume is a monopod? Is it purely an adapter to use old monopods?

For the support hand and a sand sock.
My AXSR showed up yesterday and was able to cobble together some loads to test. Only found some Berger 300gr hybrid tactical bullets and loading to mag length so I was hoping for the best. Looks like 86gr of H1000 is showing promise, I'm sure on the slow side tho.
What caliber you got?
338LM
Anyone know if the AT folder thumb hole conversion kits are being discontinued? Everywhere online is out of stock with no back order. I was looking at buying one here but want the thumbhole kit. Why would AI stop making these a long as the current AT is still being mfg?
Looking for a set in black if anyone has one laying about.

@beenjammin AI across the pond is having an exceedingly difficult time obtaining certain components to manufacture parts. The gentleman who makes the AI pistol grip adapters has said he has had issues getting the AX panels from AI ever since the China Plague / Wuhan Flu happened
I know the AT-X is replacing the AT for the US market, but I don't know if production is being discontinued in the UK. Contact Sporting Services. They finally got me a folder coming across the pond.
I have been keeping an eye on them for about 6 months or so and I have yet to see some come in stock at euro or MH.
thanks for the info and update.. I hate to hear the ATX is replacing the AT. Ill certainly miss the original iconic thumbhole design that has evolved over the last 25 years but I certainly understand.
@SRPowah AINA said the ATX was replacing the AT, but Tom Irwin has said the AT isn’t going anywhere nor is the AX…
I remember him saying the AT LE will be kept around on the US side. My info was from Frank's podcast with them, but that was in January? I guess until someone in the know clarifies, just assume the standard AT (and therefore the thumbhole kits) will be available across the pond for a long while...after the supply lines are back to good health.
Where is that you shooting at in East Texas, I’m in Lindale?
