Scotch_egg Posted September 25, 2023 Report Share Posted September 25, 2023 AICS are made for Remington 700 footprint actions. There has been talk of AI producing Tikka inlet chassis for years and a sample on show at shot show. However at this time they are not on the open market. That being said with some engineering it can be done. Not mine by the way. The photo taken off snipershide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richiew Posted September 25, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2023 Thanks for the reply. I’ll check it out and do some more digging. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasherman Posted September 26, 2023 Report Share Posted September 26, 2023 Many years ago fitted a 595 into a AICS chassis. There is a lot to get right. Bolt hole positions, bolt handle slot, mag well position and height of action in chassis to get correct feeding. Not simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoppe Posted September 26, 2023 Report Share Posted September 26, 2023 It's possible to make anything fit into anything but it may mean the end result is a compromise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richiew Posted September 26, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2023 MDT might be a better option . Need some more pennies tho . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmer_giles Posted September 29, 2023 Report Share Posted September 29, 2023 Hey Richie, the Oryx from MDT is worth considering. Mine has proved to be very good in improving the accuracy in comparison to the original stock. I took a long look at their more expensive options but I'm happy with the choice of the Oryx. One thing worth knowing is that you have to have the cheek-rest raised up about 1" from the stock (using the adjustment) in order to remove the bolt. Not a problem for me - I quite like it there. The MDT polymer 10-round AICS mag that goes in the Oryx is superb and will take 2.55" COAL which means my hand loaded 75gr ELDM rounds that measure 2.500" COAL fit. It's actually the reason why I bought the stock. You can add various rails and there is a single M-LOK slot on the bottom of the stock. I'm still working on how to mount a rear sling stud without it getting in the way. cheers, Giles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmer_giles Posted September 29, 2023 Report Share Posted September 29, 2023 Oh - forgot to mention - it has made the gun quite a bit heavier. I quite like that. In combination with it recoiling dead straight in this chassis it means I can shoot it like a 22LR - there is virtually no recoil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richiew Posted September 29, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2023 Hi Giles thanks for the info . I’m still pondering on what to do, there’s some lovely systems about but would love a thumbhole AI AT stock . Seen the spuhr and mdt versions but they are pricey. Prefer a folder to easily remove the bolt. Have a great weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farmer_giles Posted September 30, 2023 Report Share Posted September 30, 2023 Thanks Ashcroft - I took a look at that along with one of the MDT pic rails that has a QR hole in it. This would require a rail longer than the bottom of the stock which would probably tend to catch on things and be a bit of a pain. My current plan is to put a short pic rail on the bottom of the stock and try and find a pic-qr sling stud (the pic being qr not the stud). I can then leave that adaptor on the sling and use the pic qr to attach it. going to have a good root through brownells and ant-supplies! cheers, Giles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashcroft Posted September 30, 2023 Report Share Posted September 30, 2023 I thought the Oryx had a rear side QD point so no need for a PIC rail, my old one did anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking of screwing in a stud into the solid plastic section towards the back of the stock, possibly even on the side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was mine not a great photo for the rear but you should be able to see the qd point, took my sling point well I had a qd point fitted to the front using one of the existing screw holes and then drill and tap a second by someone who knew what they were doing.

Catch-22 Posted October 2, 2023 Report Share Posted October 2, 2023 Personally id go with the Master Piece Arms (MPA) competition chassis. It has been for years, and continues to be, the #1 chassis system used by the top PRS shooters. They support Tikka T3 actions. I have one of these with my Impact Precision and it’s very well made and has all the features you want already built in! https://masterpiecearms.com/shop/mpa-ba-competition-chassis-2/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richiew Posted October 2, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2023 Mmmmmm very nice. Anyone tried a SPUHR chassis??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotch_egg Posted October 2, 2023 Report Share Posted October 2, 2023 I am pretty sure I have seen the AI AT-X chassis is available in Tikka T3 inlet. sorry not seen the spuhr in the flesh but it does look good from the photos online.

Richiew Posted October 3, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2023 Looked at the AI ATX chassis and think the front part of the stock may be too long for my 20” barrel with a wildcat compact mod . Spuhr do one with a 13” front stock for this reason. Wouldn’t want to butcher a brand new piece of alloy with a hacksaw lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richiew Posted October 7, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2023 Alan Rhône do bolt on or screw on / in flush cap swivel mount s made by recknagel or era tactical . Something might fit the bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
