Team AI red/black camo is basically a less feminine pink camo
because red is manlier

Yeah that’s where I thought black butt pad area and grip with the colours doesn’t look as good as the AX etc which all closely matches. Have a S&B in the dark earthy colour was going to put on. I guess with a black Sphur mount may all work with the FDE AT-X.So about colors I’ve talked to Mike High a few times. Everyone that’s seen the red in person says it’s pretty dang nice but I want it for more than just PRS so I didn’t want red. I got Dark Earth. The other colors have to be the same as what they already offer. Only big difference, the action and barrel are black. Only thing with the color is the chassis
Elite Sand , S&B 5-25 ral8000 in 4601 hopefully will work and look ok! Erhhh only thing stopping me ordering atm is colour choice.Elite Sand, ZCO, and 0 deg Spuhr mount is the plan so far
Laid down the bucks today on the Elite Sand. Pretty excited.@Heffo Order Elite Sand, it's the only color that straight up tells you it's superior to the others.
That's the easiest dilemma. Always always mile high.So... how do y'all choose between MH & EO for the preorder?
Is that an AT-X in elite sand?
with a burnt bronze NF?
If the AI shooting team is sponsored by NF, are they sponsored by Spuhr as well? or is it just derigueur these days that an AI has a Spuhr mount?
I don’t think they’re having tryouts for the team. Lol.
Having burned through this thread looking for new ideas over the years, I’ve come to realize that 99.371% of the AI’s here have Spuhr mounts but only 6.489% have accessories mounted. Of the total Spuhr mounts observed, only .3% are the QD variant.or is it just derigueur these days that an AI has a Spuhr mount?
I have no clue either. Just more efficient than 100 guys doing the search. Frank & mods, delete if inappropriate. Good videosThanks Pineoak! I didn’t know if it was allowed that why I didn’t.

Just watched those both. Very helpful like always . Since you’ve had your hands on it I was interested in the results with the 6 Creedmoor barrel you threw on it. I really don’t plan on using the 6.5 Creedmoor barrel it comes with and already have a 6 Creed barrel on order to ship at the same time as the rifle. We’re the weights in barrels different or the same? You kept mentioning the weight of the 6.5CM barrel it comes with but not how that stacked up to the others (unless I missed it). What’s recoils feel like between the 6CM and the 6 Dasher out of that? Always appreciate your info, and thanks for the helpJust wanted to drop in and say hello and thanks to everyone at Accuracy International and the Hide. I just released a full length video on the rifle at the range. “X-Ring” on YouTube.

...any chance we’ll get to see an AXSR video from you?
Both of them are extremely great to deal with and all of the sales associates are awesome.Which ever one is closer to you
There is a difference in weight and contour. I will weigh them and let you know.Just watched those both. Very helpful like always .

Very interested then because I know there is a bunch of different profiles on the barrel. The video Frank with Mile High made and even yours there was a big mention of how heavy the barrel is. I talked with a gunsmith at Mile High about barrels and profiles specifically for that reason because I don’t shoot 6.5CM so I wanted one I’m 6mm Creed but trying to keep that same contour if possible. Anyways the guys at Mile High told me whatever post 2018 contour on the Win Tac barrels is the same as the factory 6.5 CM barrel. So I have a 24” WinTac 6mm Creed barrel on order. I’m sure it’s not a big deal either way but am curious because I know you have both.There is a difference in weight and contour. I will weigh them and let you know.
400What would be a fair price for the stock 6.5 barrel coming off the ATx ?
for those that want to switch calibers and not keep the 6.5 creed
I mean it would be factory fired but me personally I won’t shoot it after I get it so the price of an factory barrel shipped without taxes seems fair... but could be wrong. Or I’d trade it for a 6CM or .308 Win Barrel, something I’d use moreWhat would be a fair price for the stock 6.5 barrel coming off the ATx ?
for those that want to switch calibers and not keep the 6.5 creed
Well you get that .308 Win Barrel and I’d straight up swap you. A lot of these $600 barrels I’m seeing have 200-300 rounds on them. Which sometimes isn’t a big deal but on some barrel burner calibers I’d say that’s a lot. Idk, anything is worth what someone is willing to pay, but it’s a good barrel at least. I just want to keep balance the same as designedIt depends on if you want it priced to sell quick or wait for the most potential return and hope you get a buyer.
I am in the boat of currently looking to purchase an AT which can only be found with 308 barrels at the moment, so a "new" 6.5 barrel is something I will be likely to pick up.
given the lower bore height, will there be any issues as far as scope rings/scope body needing to be higher to clear the bolt handle or is this a non-issue?
The action is the same, so the only difference would be pic rail selection. Probably not an issue, but maybe someone can chime in if the story is more complex. In general, the AT-X is working on getting the action (thus the bore height) lower inside the chassis, but IIRC the action itself is unchanged as a stanadlone part.given the lower bore height, will there be any issues as far as scope rings/scope body needing to be higher to clear the bolt handle or is this a non-issue?
But won’t it cause issues running the bolt if it’s lower in the chassis? How is a 60 degree bolt supposed to be able to be moved rearward if it’s lower in the chassis. Won’t the chassis get in the way?Uhm, you do know this is still an AT action with their low rail right? 60 degrees... there’s no mount or rings that are low enough that would have clearance issues with the bolt handle.
Also, if you’re still asking questions on barrel contour and weight, I only gave out specs of the barrel on mine, even Scott chime’d in too.

What? Dude, just look at the picture of the rifle compared to the standard AT. lolBut won’t it cause issues running the bolt if it’s lower in the chassis? How is a 60 degree bolt supposed to be able to be moved rearward if it’s lower in the chassis. Won’t the chassis get in the way?
My comment was sarcasm.What? Dude, just look at the picture of the rifle compared to the standard AT. lol

Im too used to seeing actual stupidity on the internet the last year that I can't detect sarcasm at all anymore.My comment was sarcasm.
I figured it would be taken seriously. Was going to wait awhile to see how many people lost it on my but didn’t want to derail the thread to much.Im too used to seeing actual stupidity on the internet the last year that I can't detect sarcasm at all anymore.
That is exactly what I want as well.Any news on the .223 bolt face release date ??? Can we hope to get it in 2022 ?
