Imagine if the Mousingfield had more bolt lift. SpaceX wouldn’t have to divert satellites over gun ranges.
That’s about the same results I got with my 2014 AT vs 22 ATX

The AX308 has a decent number of rounds through it. Hopefully the AT-X will break in.
The AX308 has a replacement SFP bolt (replaced in 2017) but the LFP bolt it came with feels similar.

Yeah this was a first. My woman has been with me for 24 yearsHope you got better aim/handling when you’re with your woman
With an entire action redesign they should have gone to a medium length action to accommodate the short mag guys, stretch a few specs by a quarter inch. $7k or so would seem like a steal for a factory 7saum or 6.5prc VS having to step up to an AXSR for $11k. I bet they would sell a ton of them.
Do they have issues? I’m building a 300 WSM on my AT currently. My 260 has a lot of room left running 142 smk .010 off the lands in these mags. I’m thinking it will run a wsm just fine
The AW mag is 2.98” long inside. So theoretically it should feed a 300 wsm without going crazy in length.
Maybe it will be a single shot. We shall see

I'm shooting 7-6.5prcw in 2 different barrels in my ATX. 180 hybrids and 168 vlds are stuffed way below neck/shoulder to fit in a mag. 180s at mag length limit powder. I single load 180s in one of the barrels and it absolutely hammers but I can't get those results mag-fed. The other barrel is a short carbon barrel shooting 168's at mag length and I'm not giving up too much, a little velocity and maybe some accuracy seating into the shoulder but its not the bullet I was hoping to shoot. Short answer is, short mags work, but you're NOT gonna mag feed and get the same results you could from a longer action. Single loaded 180's below.
Also, the AW mags won't hold WSM rounds reliably. They'll vomit all the remaining rounds out the top after extracting a round in my experience. Maybe you could work the feed lips but IDK. MDT WSM/PRC mags work excellent in my ATX.
I plan to push 178 ELDX out of the 300 WSM
7mm bullets are long by design as well
We’ll see what happens I guess. I’m ok with single feed. Mag would be better.
I'm sure you'll be fine. If you wanted to shoot 215's or similar you'd be leaving a lot on the table at mag length.
I’m shooting deer with it. Plan is to 1200 or so. Realistically 700-800 most of the time
I run them 2600 out of my 308 currently. Hoping to get to 3000 or so. Probably a 24-26” tube
The AT-XC bolt is not backward compatible with previous generation actions.
Glad I'm not the only one this has happened to... I have lost that stupid pin 3 times now. I get home after a match and start looking over my gear and would ya look at that my rrs lock pin is gone again....
I've taken the locking mechanism out of every rlok head or bipod clamp I own. Just run enough tension it down slide.
If you can't tie a knot, tie a lot. Those are bowline knots BTW. Just couldn't get it to stay at the end of the round ball so I used electrical tape to the loop.
Reduce receiver weight by 1/2 pound...
...invariably will add 4-6 lbs of external weights to forend before using in its intended role.

Yup, just ship a few full sized pallet crates of the new spring/follower, I'd pay $25, I bet they'd be gone quickly.Accuracy International ATX 10rd Mag Assy w/Heavy Spring and Feed Ramp on Follower 29896BL For Sale - EuroOptic

All 4 my atx rifles/chassis already hinged up, I just want relaible feeding from cases shorter than 2.85"
I think we're at the point where comp rifles and .mil rifles just have a conflict of interest.
Any rumors on AT-XC magnum bolt face for 6.5 PRC?
Thoughts on AT-XC vs saving 1k and custom building with Termiuns Zeus action and having the capability to run 6.5 PRC?
What is Pros/cons other than "It's an AI"?

Cons, AI can say the company will support magnum bolts on this rifle, and 3 years later come out with AT-XCD. They’ll state that any improvements will only be on this new version and forget about AT-XC.
Yup. That's why I said "2 weeks" in jest before.
Never buy something from AI with the expectation that what they say they will release for it will actually be released because it may never happen.
If someone wants a magnum short action bolt face then either plan on having to have a spare bolt opened up by a gunsmith or buy something else.
Zuess is opposite lug orientation VS AI or CDG action. You may know this but the Zuess is fair bit more finicky with aw mags with 12 4 and 8 o'clock lug orientation, VS AI 2, 6, 10.
I could be wrong but these pics look like the AT-XC will have the AXSR grip angle (which I for one prefer). Maybe is AT-XC Gen 2? It was previously done on the CBP rifles. My apologies if this has already been discussed at nauseam...
AT-XC (eurooptic), all of their AT-XC pics are like this. Their unboxing video shows the "normal" at-x grip.

Looks like possibly a different grip is used the beavertail of the grip looks like it lands in the same spot on both rifles.
I asked about this when the CBP rifle came out and was told it's the nature of the photoshoping they did for the press release photo since that rifle in that configuration did not exist at the time. If you look at the CBP rifle you posted it's a lot easier to see the interface between the grip and chassis doesn't look smooth and natural.
it's insane that the AT-X Mil and the Border Patrol guns aren't available for sale to civilians. I'd take either... or both.... but this is a company that nuked their patterns for the AW, both the action/chassis and the skins.... AI just doesn't make sense to me.

The grip angle thing is interesting... I much prefer the grip angle on my AXSR over the AT-X with the same Ergo grip.
Pictures are different on each website. (AI, MHSA, Euro).
The Euro video has a normal AT-X grip angle:
This guy has a new AT-XC that also has the standard grip angle.
Seems like some photoshop shenanigans.

It would have been great if they continued "legacy" designs with minor updates - always wanted an AWSM with a quick - change barrel and longer magazines.
Thumbhole AT and ATM
Green
Standard, Mag and Lapua bolt face bolts
That would be my ideal pair
Exactly.
In 2014, Tom Irwin mentioned that they were planning for an AT in .300 Winchester Magnum - however without the needed options to swap calibers.
I mentioned this as a possible project for Accuracy Obsession (they were working on short action / AT chassis option then) using the AXMC (can't remember the model acronyms that well any more) platform - but he didn't think there was any point.
