Sir, we already have the #382 ranked guy in competition telling us how we do it all wrong.
We don't need the #383 ranked guy too.
Way to shoot insults at people trying to help you
I shoot an AI. If I was ranked it would be much higher than 300
A lot of AI shooters where I come from.
Just picked this up cause holding wind is for posers

Im trying to decide if burt has a new sockpuppet or if this is someone else
Most of your posts are quite subjective and I would lean towards garbage and useless posts. This leads me to believe you're trying to increase your post count to seem more trustworthy to an unsuspecting person to scam them, or you honestly do not actually have a lot of experience and are over-compensating. Either way, of the 42 posts, there were maybe 2 "constructive" posts, the rest were attacking other members and degrading their purchases.
I get it, we all joke about "the poors" (not just the AI thread), but your unsolicited advice it just that, unsolicited.
Also, you can quote multiple posts at the same time and not reply individually just to increase your post count. Food for thought.
I’ll see your rings and raise you double UltraMounts.
It is ironic how Burt gets banned. At the same time we’re graced with a brand new guy who definitely knows his way around the site
It could be DBD. He has said how he shoots with many AI shooters in the past. However he would already be offering up secrets to achieving prs greatness from a room likely littered with participation trophies
But it can’t be DBD cause they’re currently sharing cutting edge knowledge in the mount an AR to your mower thread

I agree it’s time for an upgrade. I’ve had this tripod since before RRS or all the new carbon fiber tripods even existed
There’s a write up in the armory about how much more stable RRS are. Is the reason I said that
If I didn’t already have RRS, I’d buy this
SOLD - WTS-PVA Tripod with RRS Anvil
WTS - PVA Comp-40 tripod with RRS bowl Anvil. This setup is heavily used, matches, rain, etc, and shows. Not splitting the tripod and head. Sold

I bet if you offer $450 he will counter at $500
Hell of a deal but I need to stop accumulating
Here’s the post with the long post about accuracy improvement
Tripods and accuracy
Sorry if this has been asked before, but I couldn’t immediately find an answer. I’ve got a solid tripod for my spotting scope and have seen plenty of PRS type shooting from tripods. Considering an RRS anvil 30 and ARCA mount for a bolt action. Presuming good fundamentals and plenty of...

Brand new Glowie. Insulting of most members in general, and Jews in particular.
Been out of pocket for the last couple of weeks... Holy shit this dude's annoying!

that is 3 minutes I’ll never get back.
Email ai na, they’ll send you the right one. Seems like they do that on every kit for some reason.
I would measure what size you need and order from
www.sportingservices.co.uk
or McMaster Carr would have them too.
That's what I did when I was missing 1 bolt for my AW skin.
Sporting Services UK takes about a week to get in. I just had to order several other small parts from them last week.
Accuracy International - M6 Screws
For butt spacers. Available in various lengths to accommodate different spacer configurations (example configurations shown). Price is per screw. Self colour black finish. * Longer screws may not have full length thread.

Or just trim it and if you ever want to go back to the old skins just let this be future you's problem?
I think thats what I'm gonna do. Got a hack saw and a disc sander I'll fix it real quick. It's a 25 cent bolt.
This week I took delivery of a Maven RS.4
I know i'll be called a hethen because its not S&B, NF or ZCO
but ive got it on loan and I must say I'm rather impressed given its price point and compactness.
I'll be into a AO/Vision Chassis soon

The last two months have been a lot of work moving from Las Vegas to Dallas, but i'm getting settled in and finally got my AT out of it's burrow for the first time since being here. lol
Pleasure meeting you today, hope the qual went well for you!
I've got an odd noise that the camera picks up after every shot with my AI? Anyone know what it is?
That would be the target moaning when you nail it... Get used to it, that's normal.
Cry for help to my UK peers - I'm looking to convert an AI coopermatch Palma-Master to take a magazine and need a AI short action chassis to put it into, I know the Accuracy obsession Vision chassis would work but at £1800 that's a bit rich for my blood. Any short action should be compatible AW, AT, or ATX I'm told.
I'm hoping someone has a line on one or perhaps has one left over from a Vision upgrade they'd be willing to let go of.
I've spoken to Valkyrie Rifles, JR firearms, Bradley Arms, Sporting services, who can't help, as well as Dolphin, and R and F sporting supplies about a custom chassis without success.

Does this action have the same footprint as the AT/AW/AX308? If so, and you know it’ll fit the current chassis design, your best bet is probably a WTB ad in the PX to see if you can find someone in the UK who has converted to the AO/V chassis and has the old AI chassis laying around.
There have been quite a few over the past years from people who have upgraded, but I’m not sure on the ability to ship a chassis from the US to the UK without an importer.
They are but they're pretty easy to machine out and then you're off to the races assuming you can find an action to put it in.
Jack from JR rifles has done a few as below
That was the hope by posting here too, my thought was that people were more likely to see it here even if they weren't actively looking to sell. I don't know what the import rules are either so fingers crossed I'll find someone local
Anything is possible with a 7th axis CNC and a welder.
Personally, I would just leave it as is.
Best of luck with that project that'll be nice rig! I'll also be searching for a AT-X or vision over the off season as well. Just hard to beat the modularity of those two. I enjoy the AX, but the balance point closer to the barrel is much more appealing.
I completely agree, but I don't know what's worse: taking the knife to a perfectly functional piece of art and history or leaving it to gather dust and become obsolete.
The action is like greased glass and its in fantastic shape - it'd be a shame if it wasn't used!
Shoot, and I have exactly what you need sitting in my basement, never to be used again... Just that silly body of water between us.
I know variations or one for one’s are a PITA. However why don’t you just sell, let someone else enjoy the vintage vibe and just buy yourself a AX / AT / AT-X off the shelf. Been a few very cheap used examples going on U.K. forums recently.
I bet the AI palma rifles aren't worth much compared to an AT or an AX. There just aren't that many people shooting that kind of match anymore.
If it's not some rare, valuable rifle, I'd be totally on board with machining a magwell and modernizing it with a new chassis of some kind.

I might know a guy that knows a guy that might or might not be upgrading his AI that might or might not be an AT to a Vision Chassis in the next few weeks
I've dropped you a PM

this rifle is always beautiful.. I can't wait to see it again and to have a beer together..see ya bro
Personally I'd leave the action as is, but the stock isn't an original AI Coopermatch stock. The factory wooden AI target stocks were shaped like UIT standard rifle stocks with a very deep forend. This one is in the shape of an original Colin Moon stock that was first used with Swing target rifles back in the 70s - I'm not 100% sure if he ever used laminated wood so I think it might be a replica. Edit: I'm pretty certain the stock is made by Norman Clark.
If you're set on converting it, it might be worth ordering from Dolphin something like their Modular F Class or Tactical Folding Stock without a mag cutout to save them the hassle and then sorting out the mag cutout another time with someone else. Dolphin should know at the very least what a Palmamaster footprint is like because I know of at least two Palmamasters in their Target Rifle Stocks at Bisley.
I'd happily help you out by buying the wooden stock and iron sights if you don't plan on using them
.. I've been offered a rarer square target action in an original AI stock which I know I don't like and it needs sights.

Ran 100 rounds through a new 6.5 Creedmoor for the AXSR and also put a few rounds of 300NM on plates. Special guest appearance by the AT-X wearing a 6 Dasher barrel.
