Accuracy International AX at Sniperweek

[LoneWolfUSMC]

Well I finally got to meet Stacey Blankenship today and fondle the AX Short action, and both AX Short and Long Action chassis system.

If you get a chance to get your hands on one of these, definitely check them out.

I should have some pics up tomorrow. I am a bit worn out tonight.

Anyone know the weight of the AX series chassis?

 

[LoneWolfUSMC]

Re: Accuracy International AX at Sniperweek

According to Stacey the short action AX chassis is about six pounds, but the weight can go up depending on how you configure it (rails, mounts, etc).

The AX rifle is about 13.5 lbs depending on configuration.

Re: Accuracy International AX at Sniperweek

wow, 6 pounds. Think Ill stick with MCM and lite fill from now on. Or dare I say Edge.

That has to be a $7-10k rifle...

Re: Accuracy International AX at Sniperweek

I apologize for the quality. The hall was dark where these were at and my camera sucks lately. May have something to do with operator error since it apparently carried over to my rifle this week.

And while it's not an AX, Stacy's pimped out Covert deserves an honorable mention.

Re: Accuracy International AX at Sniperweek

Unfortunately I think I like my older style AW better. They are trying to look too much like the Remingtion MSR.

Maybe they are trying for the same contract hence same specs.

Re: Accuracy International AX at Sniperweek

When are the new AX Short and Long Action chassis systems going to be available. I love my AICS and can't imagine I would like the new one any less : )

Thanks,

Re: Accuracy International AX at Sniperweek

Just a quick note, the last pics have x1 AX S/A in the back, the other forward two are the AX AICS S/A with a .223 installed and the other in FDE is the AX AICS L/A .300WM installed.

As mentioned, these were built for a very specific requirement which has now expanded to several. No one is coping the other, but a tube, pistol grip and so forth can only appear but so different you know. There are lots of new features on the AX series in general we are very proud of and reflect respectively from the Military and US customer base inputs. This new series is still evolving and we expected review, hence the reasoning we will maintain the current AICS systems as well for both crowds. It is always nice to see it in person, handle them and then hear the "End Users" response.

Even though I didn't think it possible, The Remington MSR is far better looking.

I care to take issue with that.

The MSR stock that Remington had on display at SHOT show was all sloppy and would not hold tight by the end of a 4 day show. The AX was still as tight as a bull’s ass in fly season....

Just sayin...

Re: Accuracy International AX at Sniperweek

Stacey...Is there an expected sale date for the AX chassis for the 700? Is price in the range of the AICS?

Thanks
