walkabout Posted May 23, 2021 Report Share Posted May 23, 2021 Yes I am, I have had problems with the double stack mags with my 6.5 Creedmoor. Rounds keep popping out of the mag, plus I occasionally (every time on a timed stage!) the bolt will go over a round and not pickup. With the AICS mag faultless every time.

Malinois Posted April 20, 2022 Report Share Posted April 20, 2022 I know. The bolts in the wrong side AXMC. 300 Win Mag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catch-22 Posted April 20, 2022 Report Share Posted April 20, 2022 Nice. I’ve got the predecessor, a AWM in .300wm. What barrel twist do the newer ones come in, still 1-11”? Mine is shooting MME 190gn, 200gn and 210gn bullets very well. I think I was starting to get stability issues with 208gn ELDM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malinois Posted April 20, 2022 Report Share Posted April 20, 2022 Yep still 1 in 11. Not ideal. Load development has been done with 208 grain Eldm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCalleja91 Posted June 13, 2022 Report Share Posted June 13, 2022 Bought my AT .308 a couple weeks ago from Eastern Sporting. Looking forward to getting out and shooting. Hoptic USA Saddle Blanket, Anarchy Outdoors Spigot Picitinny Rail and Cheekpiece Thumbscrews all from Sporting Services. I've since bought the NV Mount and I'm just waiting to get some more cash and I'll have the Moderator on the way. Does anyone else find the LOP is really short by default?

Richiew Posted June 13, 2022 Report Share Posted June 13, 2022 Nice bit of gear there with some good accessories. My AT needs all the spacers to get a good fit so had to buy some longer Allen bolts. Have a great time with it . Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Yeah it came with spacers installed and another spacer set but none of the bolts were long enough 🤔 Have since seen on Sporting Services they sell the M6 bolts for various spacer configurations though so will have a measure up when i next get it out the safe.

Richiew Posted June 13, 2022 Report Share Posted June 13, 2022 Got an idea I needed rather long bolts so could of been 100 mm . Fitted a BandT monopod and needed another size bolt . Had a bucket of various bolts from mr fastener from motorcycle days so everything worked out fine . Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCalleja91 Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 Lovely 👌 I'll be in the market for a Sound Moderator for my AT soon, so let us know how you fair with that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCalleja91 Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 I can't find a great deal of info on them. What they made out of and can they handle strings of 10-12 rounds of fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It handles strings of fire with no hassle at all and it very quiet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCalleja91 Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 Nice I'll do some looking. I've see the MAE one as well as the AI one. Seemingly quite a few to choose from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCalleja91 Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 Can't find prices on their website... how much we talking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richiew Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 The A-TEC Marksman looks good and not too expensive. Designed to fit the AI brake with its left hand thread , available at sporting services. Might be worth a look. Cheers ps I’ve got the AI Mod and it’s very quiet compared to the 17 hmr and the 223 . Lovely looking rifle shooter 762 , colour too . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m afraid I don’t know how much the AI .338 model is. But I expect it to be more than the ratchet lock as it is larger and will take longer to print.

Richiew Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 Genuine AI £683 Atec fits upto 338 £499 Atec quoted 30 db sound reduction so very good compared to most others in the 27 db mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCalleja91 Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 Nice one thanks all. Will do some reading up on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richiew Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 On 12/16/2021 at 5:33 PM, Richiew said: Keep threads nicely lubed with anti seize grease that’s alloy and stainless compatible. Silicon grease on the O-ring and keep the o-ring groove clean also . There’s a bit of wear on the first baffle but that’s all . Keep the brake clean where the o-ring seals onto, and the threads remembering they are right hand onto the barrel and left for the mod screwing onto the brake for fitting it to the gun . To remove mod turn the mod right handed or clock wise if your looking from the end where the bullet comes out of . Don’t need to overtighten mod onto brake as the spin of bullet helps to keep it on and there’s a bit of help from the grip of the o-ring . cheers Some info from a while back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCalleja91 Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 £1300 might be a bit steep for me. Even if I apply the 50% rule when the wife asks how much it was that's still alot of money 😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluey6600 Posted October 17, 2022 Report Share Posted October 17, 2022 Picked up a mint AX 308 last week and took it out for a first go on Sunday. Wow... spoils you for any other rifle in the future (have two tactical remington 700 builds in MDT chassis but no comparison). Recoil is straight back and controlled with the brake (will get down to sporting services to get the ATAC Marksman mod as have a slot, just lack of time and spare cash this month!). Dropped my gen 1 razor onto it from my Ruger Precision and although not as good as a NF or S&B still damm clear, just missing a christmas tree reticule! Could see hits onto the target at 100M clearly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatoomDownUnder Posted February 3, 2023 Report Share Posted February 3, 2023 Here's my AT-X .308 out in the hills just after Christmas. I've just got to do a little more fine tuning for load dev and she's all set for this years Precision Service Rifle competitions. Only got a couple of minor design gripes being, no quick adjust cheek piece and AI's KeySlot, ohh and the 1/4-28 grip screw because mixing metric and imperial is always a good idea. Other than those minor points it's a solidly put together bit of kit and a pleasure to shoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJC Posted February 4, 2023 Report Share Posted February 4, 2023 Took the AT-X to Texas for last weekend’s Leupold PRS match. Worked flawlessly and after 2 days in torrebtial rain and with 90%+ humidity it was surprising to see a lot of rust on rifles but none on the AI.
