I have been impatiently waiting for this and it showed up today. I have an S&B 5-25x56 P4f mil/mil from the group buy coming for it in the next month or so. I will also take the AI Armorer's course in Denver next week.

I'd be out at the Pawnee at daylight cracking off rounds. You're gonna love that thing! Now you just need to go get a Thunderbeast suppressor for it
 
Re: New (to me) AI AW 308

I'm really looking forward to shooting it. I thought about GAP, McBros and others but in the end AI was really what I wanted. I may end up changing it to 6.5 x 47 Lapua to be a bit more competitive in the tactical matches. A Ti can seems like the way to go, but I have not really done much investigation.

I'm really looking forward to spending the day with Stacey next week to really learn what makes the AW "tick."

If you change the caliber go 6.5 CM ...and dont look back.

I put my Loopy with Badger rings from my LTR on the AW tonight, adjusted the LOP, and did some dry firing. The PO had adjusted the trigger to single stage with 1.5# release. The trigger is nice but I think I will adjust it back to two-stage. Overall, this things is sweet!

I like the AI bipod (I know some don't); it's nice to put some preload on the bipod and I am sure the overall weight of the rifle and break will make it much easier to spot hits than the LTR. I'm really looking forward to shooting it on Saturday.

Mendocino... looks like you live in my area. If you want to shoot an AI with a .260 Rem chamber along with a TI Thunderbeast can, just let me know. I just cranked down another 100 rounds after shooting w/ Deisel this week & once the weather gets a bit better I will back to sling lead.
 
Re: New (to me) AI AW 308

Well the good news is that you will get the opportunity to see the new AI/SAS QD TI .30cal 1.5x9" 14oz suppressor at the AI Armorer's course along with several other new products. Look forward to seeing you there.

For about 3 Ben Franklins more you can get one. I got 3 AIAWs, and they all come in foam box. Never had any problem.

As DesertHK posted, the cases are accessories, we are working on a new fitted AW and AX interior with Pelican using the Storm case design. We will have the final item #'s and pricing to our Distributors in May/June.
