New AX308 in green - at last!

Well, I have been saving for this for over two years and at last it's mine! I lucked out on this as I was fully expecting to have to wait for another 3 or 4 months for the order. When I phoned Sporting Services, Adam said "You're in luck: we've got one coming in that was a cancelled order. You can have it next week!".

 

Yes, I know that I could be heading for two full custom rifles for the cost of this one, but sometimes common sense doesn't enter into it. I wavered a bit when I had saved enough for an AT, but I thought 'lets keep going'. No buyers remorse so far and somehow I don't think that there will be. Amd I definitely like the new AI green Cerakote.

 

Out tomorrow to zero and break in the barrel. Can't wait!

The short 0.308 barrel will be used for target shooting out to 600 yards, which is the longest distance my club shoots at routinely. At some point I plan to get a 26 inch barrel in 6.5x47, to take things out to longer ranges.

So I swagged a sight setting at 400 yards and my first shot was a V bull! Definitely a sign of things to come. I followed the AI recommended barrel break in procedure and then it was 'weapons free'. Wow - this thing is a frikkin laser beam!

 

Moved back to 500 and the wind was getting a little switchy, so the nut behind the butt caused a few inners, but overall this is one amazing rifle.
