Gotta love the high Rockies this time of year... rifles aight
Somewhat of a thread drift but your tripod placement has spurred a thought regarding the AX/ASR chassis.
Does anyone know what the purpose of the lump in from of the mag well is for on the AX series of rifles?
It made sense as a hand hold on the original AX rifle but seems to be an odd 'feature' to still have, unless there is an purpose for it I'm not seeing.
Seems to me like the ATX would be far nicer to shoot of a tripod than the AX/AXSR due to the considerably lower centre of gravity.
I agree, but I think the ATX barreled receiver also sits lower in the chassis as well, and may be one of the problem in just removing that section forward of the mag well on the AX (I mean if you could mill it off for example).
I will say this shoots WAY better from a tripod than the AX SA I had. With a 6mm BR there was more movement in the AX than the ATX shooting .308, it is notably better...
It's where you place your support hand when you hip fire the rifle.

Fred, could you comment on the MDT gen 2 vertical grip vs the ERGO grip?
Cheers, that makes sense.
Thinking about it all chassis that have an enclosed forend don't have a completely flat underside, like the MDT ESS vs ACC.
I like vertical grips better - even on my AR's, I just find I get a better hand position and control the trigger better with a fatter vertical grip instead of a slanted AR15 style grip (like the Ergo on the ATX). I didn't spend any time trying shooting the Ergo, since all my other chassis have vertical grip though...
Almost NRL Hunter Heavy legal...
Has a TBAC SR brake on it too.

www.anarchyoutdoors.com Is this the one that is for Keyslot on the ATX?

Yes this. A 12 would be nice. I wouldn’t totally hate also have a 15 or 20
I hear they're right after the .223.

I have a Proof Carbon barrel...but in 6CM. I'll weight it and see where she stands...may have to change an outstanding order to a 6.5CM M27.
I would figure a third party could make them lr modify existing mags ?I hear they're right after the .223.
With 24" CF 6 Creedmoor barrel and no brake.
With a CB Brake and TBAC Ultra 7.
Going to be miragy... I decided Hawkhill marksman contour in all steel to make weight...
The Proof is a 6 Creedmoor that's slated for antelope hunting. Wouldn't qualify for NRL Hunter.
What length did you go with for your Marksman and what weight did it come in at??
I am sorry but NRL hunter class is stupid, if I want to carry a heavier gun who cares. Don’t call it hunter just call it light rifle, which is what it really is.
I decided on 24" and it is actually Heavy Palma, but not 100% sure on the weight, haven't received it yet
. Its hard to figure out everything in advance in terms of the weight... I double checked after I posted Went boss on everything then put a lupy on top smh.....
Has there been any word when the AXSR rear stock will be released for the AT-X? Hopefully they will selling the AT-X with the AXSR stock as a complete package, really don’t need the non folder piece laying around.
ZCO is on AXSR. Leupy is light weight.
But does it track or is the reticle canted lol?
Pretty sure they are just gonna sell ya a hinge to make the current atx stock fold.
Until the ZCO 2-16 comes out right ? RightZCO is on AXSR. Leupy is light weight.
Has anyone received an elite sand?
no,
any real world pics of elite sand out yet?
Nvm, definitely read that wrong mines FDE
Probably just another one of those drunk assholes
Me too, dark earth.
First group with AT-X after zeroing with 24" Proof CF 6 Creedmoor barrel.
Factory 108 Hornady. Rounds 16-20 down the barrel.
Like it so far! Still need to dig out my muzzle brake and throw it on.
Couple observations.
1) I’ll be putting the MDT vertical grip on. Don’t love this one.
2) I’ll need to get higher scope rings. With the cheek rest bottomed out my eye is higher than I’d like. (Edit: my Spuhr model is 4001 so 1.181”)
3) Magazine well is awesome! Super fast.
4) Sawtooth weights were great fit and finish.
5) It just looks plain evil.

Thanks, good info.
What height Spuhr is that mate? I’m probably going to put same scope on mine if ever comes ( colour black & in Australia) Do you plan on putting forend rail on top? Not sure if 1.35” or 1.5” be needed? Cheers
