I’ve been taking my AX SA out to a mile with a sweet 115gr DTAC load, but it’s very vulnerable to wind. The 6mm does great under 1300-1400yd but after that seems to run out of gas..so to speak... The thing is, I want to be more consistent and I’d like to be able to shoot even further.
I’m looking at a Pre-2014 AX 338 because I like the action and readily availabile barrels in 300NM if I want to give that a shot. I know, the AXMC rigs are all over the place for $6.5k but it seems a used Pre14 can be had for a lot less. Also, if for some reason I need to sell the rifle AIs seem to move easier than other “custom” options...just my opinion.
What do guys think of the pre-14 rifles? What would be a “good deal”? Anything in particular I need to look for?
Thanks!
