What you think compared to the DT on the left?
I am 6'2 and I found the bull pup was difficult for me to cycle the bolt efficiently because it was back pretty far. My boys didn't seem to have a problem with it at all when they were little. Maybe I didn't spend enough time with it but I ended up selling it to fund a AXMC. Just my preference is all.
Ya I’m 6’2” as well. Would assume I’d have the same issue. Thanks for the reply
Axmc all freaking day bruh
A bullpup is never going to be as fast to cycle. But. As someone put it: if you can touch your ear with your fingers, you can cycle a bullpup.
I personally prefer a DT over an AXMC for a locked down long action thumper, but its such a personal preference thing. An AT is taking my DT's spot in the safe for short action only general purpose for the next couple years.
Got the new (too me) Vortex Razor Gen II Zeroed and the MBE Arca Rail installed
Nice chilly 
New England morning. Good day for running the ax

Anyone know why it seems all the AI barrels have dried up? I’ve reached out to MileHigh to see how long before they get another shipment in.
Just finished putting my newest AI together. I decided to finally see what an AT-X was about.

Where in Kansas was this. I live in wichita and head to spearpoint on occasion for long range goodness
Rebel Ridge Outfitters. It’s located in Syracuse KS.
Thanks. The patriot brown turned out quite nice. 1000x more than the blue started life as.
Did you cerakote it yourself or send it off? It looks wonderful BTW
Some 300prc fun at NETT today. Everything from 500 to a mile got beat up!
What exactly are you looking for?
So, been running a mk2 for a few years. Its not the neweat but the accuracy is hard to beat. Thinking of adding a bigger brother...axmc or the ax338 ( i think the older ax338s werw a bit cheaper than the acmcs) just a general discussion point.
Shorty 308 barrel
Buy any 308 barrel in the PX and chop it
PVA will make you shorty 308 for the 27mm shank with an advertised 6 week lead time

Class 3 Machining did mine.
Not mine! But a Vision chassis I did the cerakote on. That M10 monopod is super cool.
Future Patriots !!!!
My 'short action' AXSR
Curtis Valor 1:10" 308... It's nice but really doesn't even come close to the AXSR.
The Valor is pretty light at 12.5lbs while the AXSR is 17.1lbs (without bipod) 6.5cm 24" carbon barrel pictured.
It would be great to see short action AXSR's hit the shelves one day.

Quick question for you fellas.
What's the going rate for a mkii non folder with 2 barrels?
What's the going rate for a mkii non folder with 2 barrels?
This was a while back...about 8 years ago. I paid 2200 for mine with one barrel.
Honeslty they shoot soo well for what i have in it,that i will never sell it. The original plan was to sell it eventually to buy an axmc.
Got a lead on one for $2500, 2 barrels, original skins and a set of viper skins.
I have an AT but this is very tempting with all the s&b 4-16s for sale right now.
I don't see how you can go wrong there.
1) educate me on the correlation between the mkii and the sb on sale
2l) if you have the cash in hand( personally dont believe in debt for firearms) buy it and dont look back. I think they are at the bottom of the depreciation and are excellent shooters. Even being old, they have features which a lot of custom rigs are just now introducing. DO IT!!!

An AT-X with a ZCO and a few barrels fell in my lap at a price I couldn't say no to. Have always wanted an AX, so have to decide if I'm keeping this or swapping. Anyone who's had both have any thoughts? First group out of the rifle with hand loads from my old 6.5 was more than acceptable. Even managed to shoot a decent group off a railing and game changer.
Testing out the MLOK rail on the MC. Should I paint/cerakote it or leave it black?
Yea I don't put guns on cards. I can buy it but trying to make sure it's worth it. Kind of will be "redundant " when I have my AT but a mkii or mkiii has kind of been on a list to aquire. Nothing in particular with the 4-16s but they are the slimmer looking s&bs and would pair well with a mkii to give it a more classy look. It's been a pairing I've always liked the look of.
Having owned an AX I probably wouldn't own one again just because of the part just ahead of the mag well and the ledge to the handguard. In my opinion and competing with it its a horrible design. Id always find my balance point right at that ledge and never get a good position built because of it. Would have been better if it was a smoother transition like the cadex design. I've used chassis like the atx and I'd buy one over an AX any day if those were my 2 options. If it's just going to be a bench/belly gun get whichever you like the looks of best. Just my .02.
Edited because auto correct thinks it's better than me.
