Anybody want to give me a quick and dirty Cliff's Notes on the different AI models and the the pros/cons between each model?
Thanks.
Thanks.
Current models AT, AT-X, AX Short Action all are switch barrels, can also use barrels for the AW and AE older models. AT is more of a base model, AT-X is the competition model, different chassis, barreled action sits lower in the more, has a competition trigger. AX is basically the full meal deal, with the fully adjustable aluminum rear but stock and enclosed forend. You can adapt the AX but stock to the AT style guns.
Then you have the long action ASR, AXMC and PSR, all use a bigger shank barrel M30 (1.350 is what we get here in the states), can be adapted all the way down to 308 size cases with bolt and magazine changes. Mags are also double stack like the short action variants. Barrels are way rarer to find and way more expensive than that of the short action rifles. The MC and PSR are really not available anymore, AI has gone toward the ASR which has a thumb safety now, and a uglier stock and grip (fight me) to be more like a AR15. You also have the older AWM (300WM) AWSM(338LM) and Pre 2014 AX which are all pretty much the same action and uses the older smaller M27 shank but those are single stack guns.
There are some nuances to the AI line of rifles, but not too difficult to understand.

Got mine from sportingservices also. Just don't call or ask if they will ship. Put your address in and order. Anyone who has called has been told no, anyone who has just ordered like a man has had no problem.
They actually had one in stock. Now to wait and see how long it takes to get here.
Get an AT. Call MileHigh or EuroOptic and ask for demos.
A difference to pay attention to is the quick-change barrel introduction to the lineup. Others more knowledgeable than I can speak up, but it happened in 2014-ish…not sure exactly the exact start and changeover (like if it carried over to 2015 etc).
Post 14 for the AX / axmc
All At and all at-x and all axsr are quick change.

The pre 2014 AT I don’t believe were quick change. May be wrong
My 2013 AXMC is quick change
Hot and humid today in Central TX, but the big guns came out.
Three's a crowd...
Very little wind made 900 yards a breeze:

How embarrassing when you think you are billy badass with your AXMC and 2 other gay bois show up with the same rifle.

We are financial degenerates haha
Damn, I thought we all had 3 AI's to bring to the range ourselves!

I thought AI and NF was the hot ticket
NF is gayier than aides
Guess,,, it took me 45 years to come out of the closet than
Full disclaimer, i only own 1 NF 7-35 but love the 35 mil elevation.

Another one for @Huskydriver with the gold barrel. My 22GT barrel may have finally died on me so back to the BRA for a bit until I have a chance to test and see what's up with it. Either I was flustered from just dropping my rifle on the elevation turret, or it's toast at 1700 rounds and some change.
It's whatever you want it to be, it's 2022 man. Sky's the limit
A bit of after work fun time. Timing a new brake on a AXSR, and finishing up my proto adjustable rider, a bit unorthodox positionally but it gives more adjustment than mounted directly under the pic rail. Got to luv that business end view of the beasts.
Can you put the link up for the source of the Bipod, please? I'm wondering if that will work on an AI-AT...
Here you go:
REVOLUTION BIPOD® Standard Steel Model - Elite Iron
REVOLUTION BIPOD Lightweight Aluminum. Designed for rifles to .338 caliber the most revolutionary choice in superior design for the tactical world.

I’d check out the Long Range Accuracy bipod that EuroOptic carries as well

A package from the UK showed up, and after 20 minutes this is the end result.
And yes, that is a VORTEX on the AT. And a Harris.Flame away.
Did I mention it’s a 308?
Beautiful rifle!
look into the spigot for a bipod mount. I use mine with a picatinny clamp on my atlas. Gets the bipod out front more and tighter to the bore

ATLE in AO chassis. With 16” barrel

Don’t lie to the man….Nothing wrong with a Vortex on an AI
When these chassis' are available, they will sell like hot cakes!
Our Curtis Axiom 6.5PRC in the shorter AICS AT-X chassis.

Great day today since it is range day. Shot with my buddy. AX mark3 shots amazingly even with random load.
For those with an AXSA with a 20moa top rail, and an ATACR 7-35…..which Spuhr are you using.
I can’t find a 4002 instock anywhere. That being said from the pics in their thread I see a wide variety.
I am thinking about trying the ARC mount 1.5 with 10 moa as it’s in stock.
Looking for advice for my new AXSA.

You can use 4602 instead, which will give you more elevation adjustments out of your 735.
I use a Spuhr cantilever mount on mines. Well only because I had a one not in use. Not intended.
