Think it was the ATX thread. Guys complaining about the bolt lift on the ATX vs older AI models. I measured mine the same way another guy did using a trigger pull gauge. Took 12 lbs to lift the bolt after dry firing

It’s from that thread

Not crapping on you. I have the exact same gun in elite sand
It is pretty heavy though😂

Nothing a 7 axis dremel can’t fix

The Xero is comically small.

The only thing that the labradar has over the Xero is that the LabRadar app is more full-featured. But the app only works 30% of the time, so it's a wash.

I fully expect that Garmin will add features later.
 
My proof of concept for a Garmin mount for my MC, few more mods. ( Edit) pictures of the final geometry, not sure if it will work with the elite iron but looks GTG with a normal bipod placement. Still a bit "blocky" but its fine for testing.

What's the doojamahickey forward of the magwell?
It is a device that lowers the weight of the AI’s bolt lift without using a dremel.

In addition to that, it’s a pretty neat skid pad/minimal profile barricade pad that velcros on. They’re discontinued but I got lucky and snagged it from a true American hero.

LOL.

My mom likes to sew, I was thinking a plush nutsack to put on the rail as a built in bag to rest the fore end on.

I visited my operations at KASOTC in Jordan last week. We have a training contract there and my onsite staff work hand-in-hand with KASOTC staff for mission success. I mentioned that I still haven't had a chance to shoot with them on their ranges, and we were out the next day at the KD range with the JAF sniper section. No pressure showing up cold, getting behind a suppressed AI in 308 with an S&B PMII (with the euro (reversed) turrets), no range card and with a crowd of JAF snipers seeing if the old American boss can actually shoot. They set targets at different elevations out to 800M and I was issued some factory Hornady. Spotting was a challenge since their English was as bad as my Arabic. I dropped a shot at 800M, but a quick correction finished the challenge.

Rinse an repeat two days later at the UKD range with an AI in 338LM. They set me up as an over watch for a assault force with 11 targets to be engaged in sequence out to the last steel plate that drops a large KASOTC banner. Same pressure as before, but differing and swirling winds for the session. Dropped one of the last shots, but held my own. Of course, the only picture was after I finished and I snapped a quick pic of the AI before it was off to the flat range for some rifle and pistol work. It's great to be the boss as any day on the range is a good day. /flexoff

For reference, the UKD range is off to the left in the pic that follows (a village setup).

I tried. ;)

Got there on the second day and they gave me a quick safety brief then I'm behind the gun. LOP is off so I don't have a good shoulder pocket, eye box is off, they're using one of those mono-pods instead of a bag (I ditched it), I know there's going to be free recoil 'cause the LOP is so short and the scope so far to the rear; basically it's hard to get comfortable behind the gun. I took a couple dry fires and one of the sniper instructors says, "why isn't he shooting?" I get kind of pissed so I dial up for 500M and engage first three targets in the proper sequence (black, yellow, red) in a doorway / windows. It's 500M with a 338LM and the targets were probably 5MOA so I just shot, moved to the next, shot, adjusted then shot the last round, all without waiting for the impact call. IDK, a 6 second string? Peanut gallery then says, "he shoots fast" and leaves me alone. :)

Anyways, not trying to mischaracterize the event. It was fast paced and well worth it to be back behind a rifle. Now, my M4 CQB drills, that was another matter...

Does anybody know if an 18.5” barrel fits flush with the factor AXSR front rail?
 
What caliber are you shooting there with your axsr? Are you shooting matches with it?
That’s the one true caliber in the one true color. 308.

Yep, been running matches since March with it. I was bouncing between 6.5cm and 308 all year but in 2024 I’m just going to run 175gr 308.

2024 Steel Safari and Team Safari though will be done with 6.5CM and NF ELR will be 300PRC.

In 2025 I’ll jump over to 6.5cm.

I love this rifle.
 
New AI AT owner here...

What is the interoperability of parts between the AICS Rem 700 chassis and the AI AT?

If I purchase an AICS Rem 700 SA chassis can I then take the folding hinge and stock sides and change them with my AI AT fixed stock?

Thanks

Excellent. I've been thinking about building another short action caliber match gun, but my axsr always looks at me like I got caught with a side chick. 🤣 I've got the 308 bolt body and mag, so maybe I'll just spin up a 6.5 barrel.
