Don't worry, everyone! I solved RMW's dilemma for him... at least until he gets another shipment in.
WolfCobra saved me from taking the AXMC in 338LM home. I still have this beautiful and now lonely Pale Brown AX .308 sitting on the shelf.

ZombieMonkey is 100% correct. AI will have a conversion for the 338 or the 300 AXMC to run .308.
In my opinion the Barrett is not on the same level as the AXMC. I have been a devoted DTA customer for years and after handling the AXMC, I am sorely tempted to keep one up for myself.
I should have another AXMC in stock .338 LM in a few weeks.
Dude, just take it home already......
Keep both and go to the doghouse, it will be worth it' as you know' having shot both, but I feel you pain! Good Luck. Your posts have always been most helpful....You don't know how bad I want to. I have been having a bit of luck lately with my DTA, which is my only reservation. I would need to sell the DTA to fund the AI AXMC if I wanted to stay out of the dog house.

As far as the MRAD, I sold mine in January 2013 and purchased the AX MC 308 with 260 barrel and just got it last weekend. Trust me there's no comparison between the two. Build quality in the AI and materials much more refined. Didn't need the 338LM, since I have 2 DTAs with the 338LM conversion. The 338 AI will eventually have 308 conversion, but probably not until the end of this year or early next years, when AI gets caught up on their present orders. Be patient and you' have the best of both worlds!!!
Have you ever wished the trigger pull was a little lighter? I know 90% of the trigger is in the break, but the AI specified pull range of 1.5-2.0 kg (3.3-4.4 lb) surprised me a little bit on paper. I've never heard anyone really wish an AI trigger would break at 1.5 lbs, but I thought I'd ask.
Now, for a military sniper rifle, which is what Accuracy International focuses on, the slightly heavier two stage makes sense. I'm sure they are fantastic triggers (I'll know firsthand soon enough!). Just wanted to know everyone's impressions, and if they would have preferred a lighter 2 stage, or even a 1 stage, discounting the potential reliability issues that would result.
I believe so.
The AXMC rifles that I received this week all had (2) small rails, (1) large rail, and one harris bipod mount.
Sorry, what I really wanted to know is if the 16" forearm rail of the AX will fit/replace the 13" forearm rail on the AXMC?
You keeping one of yours RMW??
I am so tempted. My 15th anniversary is next week, maybe…..

which one would you keep? The 308, or a long action that you can use all 3 calibers in?
Question
Will the AXMC be released in a Tan/Black color theme, just like the OD/Black version? Or will I need to be first![]()

My rep said the rifle is not available at this time in Black / Brown, but is inquiring to see if we could get you some tan skins to put on a black / black or black / green rifle.
This is very nice...
SH tactical pillow for size comparison. 20" AX308, scope is a SnB 3-20x50 in a Near Manuf. Alpha Mount, SF socom brake.
I called both EuroOptic and Mile High regarding this transit case, and both don't have it....no ETA either...what to do now?
Just snag a rifle start shooting and get the case when it becomes available again. Let me know if you would like me to send you some pricing on an AX.

Dude, screw that case. You'll alway have to put a couple rounds down range to get it back to its original zero. Is it really worth it the disassemble and reassemble every single time you take it on the range?

Not necessarily. Occasionally I will get a shot that's outside of half MOA into the 3/4 area after a barrel change in the first 5 rounds I put down range. I just did a barrel swap on Tuesday from 308 to 260 and shot a 1/3 MOA group on the first 5 down the tube no issues, cold bore and all. Sure, it's only my 19th barrel swap on this setup, but it's proving to be very repeatable.
Yep, I'll probably lose 3-4 rounds, but totally worth it![]()
