AI AT...Got mine today 6.5CM Flat Dark Earth, along with the Vortex Razor Gen 3...Now I need a little help

[LONG RNG]

So I finally got my first AI ! Now I need some help on components to piece things together. It is my intention to shoot PRS matches. So with that being said I need to buy a few things that I'm aware of AND a few things I'm sure I'm not aware of...

I do not know which Spuhr mount # will go on the #26981 20MOA that will work for the GEN 3 Razor 6-36X56 that will allow caps to clear.
I do not know which ARCA Rail to get if I want it to be full length (and possibly past the front end).
Bipod? Model # would be very helpful too..
Factory Match ammo that any of you have found to run well in your AI AT 6.5CM 24"?
Can you recommend a good backpack for carrying everything during PRS matches.

Anything you can think of that I need/might be missing on just the initial set-up would be helpful too...

Any 1.5 or 1.35" tall spuhr should work

Sawtooth arca rail

Cykpod or accutac bipod

Hahahaha hahahahaha good luck on that one

Any 3 day assault pack style pack honestly

Sweet pics!

1.5” SPUHR. No need for additional cant if it’s going on a canted rail. So either a 4002 or a 4602.

Any rail you like. Check with Area 419 for fitment.

MDT Ckyepod

HORNADY ELDM ammo. If it won’t shoot that, send the rifle back.

Fehu Outdoors backpack.

And for Chrissakes, post a pic.

Other things that make match shooting better. Some essentially required. Others, optional but recommended:

Wiebad Mini Fortune Cookie - Waxed Canvas

NEW HEAVY MODEL!! This is the best bag for positional shooting to date. The material is lighter and conforms to the bottom of the stock letting it settle in and get nice and steady.

Recently bought an AT like AZengraver. Interested as well in recommendations from AT users. Plan to do range work and a few PRS-like comps a year. So, here's a bump to the thread.

Thanks to all who respond!

We shot the 140ELDM factory Hornady stuff at the PRE.
I would try that first.

I think Hornady ELDM is the benchmark for 6.5 and 6 CM factory ammo. My opinion, buts it’s a great place to start.

Option A or B? and if you care to add a C or give me your thoughts, that will be helpful....

Option A: Spigot with an Atlas BT46 under it and an RRS arca rail for Tripod or moveable barricade stop...
Option B: sawtooth Arca rail that extends past the front end and run the bipod on the arca rail swell as the other options.

Side note: anyone running a Dead air sandman S on your AI 6.5cm? Like it?

Thank you for the info and pics! Is the ARCA Rail this one? (ST) BAI-AT2....and the spigot this one?

Anarchy Outdoors: Accuracy International AT Picatinny Spigot ?​

Did you do your own camo paint? or who? and did you just send the panels to be painted?
Do you still like the Two round holder?

- Purchased from the px here with that camo already. The original stock skins match but I prefer the thumbhole skins. Not sure who did the camo job
