Work on that tripod and get back to us I also don't see a tbac can on that rig either.....
@NoLegs24 why would you want to avoid? Or were you joking ? It’s heavier than my RRS but it’s a beast and so stable.
Nope, not joking. The twist locks are on the slippery side and would not hold the legs in place. The ones I've used. We had to use some since it was a stage prop and 1 of tripods broke. A lot of guys were pissed, LOL. For the price they're charging, you think you'd get your moneys worth. Sure, its stable. But that has more to do with the weight, and width of the setup.
Guys ended up throwing a bag over the center column vs using the leveling base/ clamps.
An RRS Tripod+Anvil setup would easily smoke it.
Throw back Thursday to this day in 2018 when I still used inch scopes
Sir. I’m gonna have to ask you to delete this photo. We only post photos of rifles with mil scopes
Lol I’ve killed more guilty animals with a Harris than most people have seenAnd a Harris Bipod!!
You even shoot brah??
Picked up the AXSR today. 300WinMag with a 300PRC proof carbon and 6.5CM (now waiting on the 308 bolt). Cerakoted by Delta Tactical here in Australia.
Hopefully get a chance to run it in when our baby arrives (should have been a few days ago! Everything happens at the same time around here).

You know your rig is quiet when you can hear Coyotes calling in the background.
My Low Vis Gear wraps finally made it State side. I couldn’t be happier with them.

300PRC Proof 26" 1:8" with Area419 Sidewinder, dropped a heap of weight from the front end.

Next time you get a chance weigh that set up without the barrel for me......
and how much you want for it
That’s the exact gun your looking for!!!Next time you get a chance weigh that set up without the barrel for me......

I’ve been watching for you in the px
@Chasing3
@The Durk
I’m not going to tell you what @Huskydriver is willing to do for these guns.....
But it rhymes with “Smexual Fravors”

@Huskydriver Lol. I think I am passing on the ATX. Now if I could find an original green AO chassis I might be tempted. Seen a few posted but the members were selling the entire rifle. I still like the traditional AT look.

Ran the 300PRC proof barrel in this morning. Heavy fog limited visibility to about 130m, could barely see the target until 12 noon. 3oC (35oF approx) beautiful still morning.
Rounds 4-6 were ‘.817 MOA’
Rounds 7-9 were ‘.709 MOA’
According to BallisticX. The first group of 3 was rubbish at about 50mm but that’s ok. Quick basic clean in between lots, the barrel will no doubt settle down fairly soon, then drop validation and the rest can begin.
New rifle, new trigger, new barrel, new ergonomics, fog, tight for time, difficult position to get comfortable in, very happy considering... No doubt I was the weak link this morning.
Recoil is very mild with the 212gr ELDX Precision Hunter Hornady ammo through the sidewinder brake, was expecting a bit more bite. It feels more like a spicy 308 but not a magnum.
Overall, loving the AXSR so far, fantastic rifle.
That throwback Thursday photo reminded me of this one that I grabbed from somewhere a while ago. Bit of a weird setup but also interesting, anyone know if the NV mount is factory?
Question for AXMC owners. What kind of barrel life are you getting out of your 338LM barrel on average? I just scoped mine and I am getting "fire cracking" just forward of the throat. I am not sure how many rounds I have down the tube on mine, quite counting after the 500 mark.
The barrel still holds sub MOA vertical dispersion at 1000 yrds but is starting to foul up easily( my range sessions are usually 50-60rnds of 300gr projo's running 2650-2750fps depending on the load.) I am going to run it till it hits over 1MOA dispersion, just trying to decide when to start looking for a new barrel.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks brother, very happy!
8195gm:
Base rifle, bolt in
26” proof carbon prefit barrel
Area419 sidewinder with adapter collar
Unloaded 300wm magazine
NF Beast with ARD & caps
MDT CkyePod (standard) arca mount
Spuhr 4603B
Magazines with 10x 300PRC rounds are 565gm approx.
Base rifle with bolt in, 300WM steel 26” barrel and APA brake with empty 300wm magazine is 7,140gm (15.75lb).
I haven’t weighed the barrels separately yet, will do that this morning.
My short action AX with 26” steel barrel, ATACR 7-35 and some bits is even heavier which is strange and surprising! 9,340gm.

1500-2000 roughly, but that’s highly dependent on a lot of factors. Not really anything to do with it being an AXMC, but rather basic physics and metallurgy.
Shoot it until you feel it’s no longer viable.
Looks like the Cadex rail

The Cadex rail is a giant ass exoskeleton compared to whatever it was on the photo he posted. I am kind of curious myself what it actually is.
I got my 338 barrel with 900 rounds through it and it shot fine. I shoved another 500 or so down it and it started opening up and needed constant seating depth tweaks to keep it in line. I gave up on it at ~1600 rounds, So this is pretty accurate.
Here’s a pretty one caught in the wild.
The only balance in my life
Got all the way out to the range and had no dope and my kestrel was dead. Just stayed at 400yds and nailed em. Going out tomorrow morning to get some practice in and good dope out to 900yds for Raton.
Some rifles that I've owned over the years that sported AI chassis:
Mk13 Mod 5:
Mk13 Mod 7:
Mk13 Mod 5:
Mk13 Mod 7:
Inspired by the PROOF Research paint jobs they offer on their complete rifles. The AI distributor in Australia are also the Proof dealer and Cerakote applicator so it worked out well.
Our team guns all run Proof barrels, we think they shoot very well straight out of the box and I've had only good experiences with their quality and pre-fit ease of use in the AT, AXSA, AXMC and now AXSR.
Base coat, then stencil (10,000 dots!) then top colours. 4 in total I believe.

Nice AXSR , can anyone tell me the deal with the MK3/AXSR versions , I thought the AXSR was available only in the USA , and else where it was the MK3 ?
Cheers Chris

AXSR is retail sold through Accuracy International North America by Mile High & Euro Optic. Full key-slot rail as above. Imperial and metric bolts. American muzzle brakes (APA / Area419 etc. Some components are made in the UK.
AX MKIII will be from Accuracy International in the United Kingdom and their dealers. MKIII has some subtle changes, different forend rail with a mostly enclosed top half, different shaped stock and trigger guard etc. They haven't quite yet hit the retail floor yet. Metric bolts throughout most likely. AI tactical muzzle brake.
