Don't! I love Elite Sand, but I also have two Sage Green AXMCs. They rule. You are over the target.
Despite AINA saying my hinge wasn't covered (apparently the AI hinges don't fall under the 'legendary reliability and durability' of AI) I was able to order one and get the rifle back in one piece.
Did they give any reason why? I haven't looked back, but is this the same one where Mile High said it might be a "fake hinge"?
Does anybody have the weight of the atx or Atxc without a barrel? Or ideally without a barrel,bridge and bag rider? Trying to spec out a a build to ride just under 16 lbs. Thanks!View attachment IMG_1144.jpeg
26” oem barrel vs proof barrel etc

At least the wait times have gone way down. My first TBAC had several new models and Gen 2 coming out before I received it!!
Ultra 338 gen 2 SR?
Man i remember waiting for a can 26 months; but i have been doing this a while, old times.
Yeah my last can before this was 9 months, this one was 5 days, definitely much better. Magnus .30, I missed the ultra by two days and have been hunting for a few months for one so I jumped on this since I really only shoot 30 caliber rounds.
Pics from a recent NRL match in Fort Collins Colorado. Amazing place to shoot, had a great weekend.
My custom 37 xc reamer showed up last week. Once I get this barrel up and running, I will report back.
Love shooting the 33xc out of my AXSR…, well except the short barrel life
Burning off ammo in a shot out 6mm CM barrel because I'm too lazy to pull 56 rounds and need the trigger time
Still in load development on the new 6mm CM barrel. 6mm belongs in a short action anyhow

I like it. Are you stateside and if so how does the suppressor go on the muzzle brake?
Hi,
based in germany, original can fitting the original brake. Just need to take off the cover and put it on.
I had a 16.5 cm would not do it again 20 is the shortest I would go for 6.5
Expand? At that length, is it too comparable to the 308 to matter to sacrifice the barrel life?
x2, What didn't you like about it? I don't mind the FPS or Velocity loss. Mainly looking for something easier to move in the blind and lug around at night for yotes instead of 24" plus a can.
Run the numbers yourselves. At 16" speeds, 6.5 loses to 308 ballistically. A 140gr 6.5 going 2450-2500 loses to a 308 running a 175 at 2500-2550. I struggled to get a 6.5 fast enough across multiple bullets where a 308 has no issues doing it better with short barrels

16" 6.5creed. Data sheet is a slower load (2517fps) of 140eldm. It's really fun to shoot.
Understood on the speeds, was mainly looking for a barrel swap for 100-300 at night shoots and etc energy on target for yotes wouldn't matter at that distance. I'm stockpiled way more on 6.5 components at the moment than .308 plus I'd have to undo my man bun to go to .308, you know this.
Shit, you are right! That’s one pic that I thought for sure was photoshopped.
MDT Builds World's Longest Rifle To Find Out How Long Is Too Long
MDT engineers built the world's longest rifle that has a six foot long barrel to find out how barrel length affects the muzzle velocity.

I’d seen MDT’s super tall scope mount tests but not this one!
I need to get my chrono out. I only have 18” barrels but have both ammos.
I don’t believe your 2550 with 175s out a 16”. NFW
