    Coup De Grâce, New Action from American Rifle Company, $899 WOW!

    A lot depends on your face shape and how it fits the shape of the cheek rest. For me, I've found that unless the cheekrest is really narrow or can be adjusted to the side I have to run it low and have more of a jaw weld to keep a vertical head position to prevent "leaning over" into the scope...

    Coup De Grâce, New Action from American Rifle Company, $899 WOW!

    With the spacers installed that style of cheek rest is pretty stout even with only 2x screws holding it on. What I don't like about that "add on" style of cheek rest is that it sticks off the side of the buttstock a bit and thus pushes your head and eye further away from the centerline of the...

    Coup De Grâce, New Action from American Rifle Company, $899 WOW!

    Your standard 1.54 rings/mounts get you there on an AXMC because it's a larger diameter bolt and taller action as well as the really tall scope rail to work with the handguard rail on the AX. My AX308s having smaller diameter bolts and are a little lower at 2.85 over bore, but that's still...

    Coup De Grâce, New Action from American Rifle Company, $899 WOW!

    Normally I'm also in the camp of higher rings are better for comfort and a vertical head position and recommend 1.5 tall rings, but being he's using a manners CS or CS2 that has no vertical height adjustment in the butt pad and possibly no adjustable cheek rest (depending on what version he...

    Yes, this universal adapter would work.

    Rifle Scopes schmidt and bender 3-20 reviews

    Lol! A necropost bringing this 12 year old thread back from the dead, and what's even funnier is right in the "similar threads" shown at the bottom of this thread is exactly what he was asking about if he had scrolled down to see it: an active PX ad for a full length 3-20 that was bumped just a...

    AI - ATX LE

    I would keep it as is and start calling your rifle James William Bottomtooth III.

    Accuracy International Barrel - What Do I Have?

    Bottom barrel is for an AE, Mk1 through Mk3. They had separate recoil lugs and the factory barrels, especially the UK made barrels, had an unthreaded portion of the tenon like in your pictures where the recoil lug is. AINA/Tooley AE Mk3 barrels were typically fully threaded to to the shoulder...

    Toughest scope mounts?

    As I mentioned on page 1, I had 5 out of 11 Spuhr clamp bars fail over about 12 years of use-- that’s a 45% failure rate just in my own safe. Granted, they were all the thinner Gen 1 design which were more prone to failure than the thicker screw pad Gen 2 design, but a 45% failure rate is a...

    Appears AI subcontracted that hinge out to Spuhr and they used the same material they make their clamp bars out of. ;)

    Accuracy international aics retrofit

    As others said, I'm not aware of anyone making bolt on aluminum panels with accessory mounting slots for the older AT chassis... the vision chassis and ATX are the current way to achieve that configuration. You could have bought a vision chassis for your AIAT during the last couple of years...

    S&B 3-18x Meta click adjustment question

    Did some reading on the posicon and it appears the little phillips head screw on the top is what is used to zero the turret. Dial the turret to zero the rifle, then loosen the screw, rotate the turret back to zero, tighten the screw. Seems easy enough, even with the somewhat silly needle and...

    Toughest scope mounts?

    Thanks for that, exactly as I expected a failure to look and where to occur. Wonder if they got some bad material combined with a design that leaves minimal margin in that area especially if there's some material or process variability. I may have to turn one of my ARC mounts into a test piece...

    S&B 3-18x Meta click adjustment question

    Do you have the posicon turret where everything is inside including the little green/red travel indicator and Phillips head screw to zero the turret, or do you have the exposed BDC turret with the little range flags you can set? I have not messed with either one of those. For the exposed BDC...

    Toughest scope mounts?

    I've heard a couple reports of this, but haven't seen any pictures-- and I'd love to see some if you have them. It's fairly obvious the expected failure point of the ARC design would occur in hinge pins themselves or in the "fingers" for the hinge pins in the base or rings caps. I have yet to...

    S&B 3-18x Meta click adjustment question

    The turret is in mils even if S&B labeled it 1 click = 1 cm @ 100M (yay base 10 units of measurement) so it will be much easier to calculate all your data in mils and not bring inches of drop into things. As far as why you hit at 200 and didn't make it at 300 I'm thinking you didn't snug the...

    Toughest scope mounts?

    Even though they haven't really been in style since the 2000-2010 timeframe, it's pretty damn hard to beat the oldschool Badger steel rings for durability IMO. Sure they can get rusty if you don't take care of them, and they're heavy... but they are absolute tanks. I can't say I've ever seen...

    Accuracy International Picture Thread

    Just wanted to take a moment to give a shout out to Sporting Services UK. Late last year I picked up the 1.6mm SFP 308 and 300WM bolt bodies and put a 338L SFP bolt body on backorder for my AXMC figuring it would be easy to just get a 1.6mm firing pin and swap it onto my current bolt shroud and...

    SOLD AXMC 308 SFP bolt and firing pin

    Sold 5/9 Doubled up a forgotten backorder and PX purchase a while back and ended up with an extra 308 1.6mm small firing pin bolt for an AXMC, #27773. It's brand new and never used. I also have a brand new 1.6mm small firing pin to go with it that you can install in your current bolt shroud...

    Influx of new related scammer accounts?

    Over the last few weeks I've been noticing quite a few new accounts with similar naming patterns being created. Some of them have already been reported as scammers and banned, but there appear to be a ton of others. I'm pretty sure they're not deersniper/BurtG's future alt accounts for the next...
