I've had mine for a few months now and I couldn't be happier. The price tag for a small action rifle is a tough pill to swallow but I think the juice was worth the squeeze in terms of AI price/value.

@@longrangeprecisionshooters8935 It has been done, you just need your bolt face opened up. I don't have the balls to do so until they come out with accessory bolts.
You need to then buy a LH torque wrench. There are very few torque wrenches that will tolerate being used the wrong way, (counter-clockwise) and they don’t measure torque when used that way. Somewhere out there there might be a wrench that measures torque both ways, but I don’t know of any.

What's the difference between the ATX and the ATXC? The price. What's the same between the two? Hard to find proprietary parts, always out of stock, empty promises, poor CS, etc. You can AI me once, but not twice!
I don't believe you could go wrong with either choice but with current prices of each being almost the same. What are your thoughts of the atxc vs the axsa?
@@ryanrogers5435 great question! The axsa is a super cool rifle, no doubt. I think that is one of the baddest looking rifles on the planet. That being said, with the center to bore being so high, it’s not something I could compete with at a high level. So for that reason it wasn’t the rifle for me….but again, it’s a bad to the bone rig!!
@longrangeprecisionshooters8935 certainly. I've been looking to pick up one of the two and will compete with it but isn't the primary purpose and haven't really been able to find a reason to pick up the older axsa over the atxc in the current package that's offered but haven't been able to get my hands on both to compare in person yet. Atxc seems like the winner to me. Any reason you've came across where you'd say the axsa beats out the axsa out at?
Sako TRG enters the chat Unironically, both have shite CS, parts availability and the price tag of the AI being a couple grand more for meh pros compared to a TRG.
I’ve owned 4 AI rifles and while they are fantastic, I can’t jump on board with the pricing. They are not worth 14k. They just aren’t. Can’t argue that “oh you can easily swap the barrel” when there are multiple options now that allow quick barrel changes. Back when you could snag an AX SA for under 6-7k, that made sense. Not anymore. Only thing keeping these guys in the game are people with too much money and mil/LE contracts.
@@Braunschweiger89 yeah they’re not cheap. This one is 6500 bucks. I’ve had a lot of fun with it, but I know some of the other models run significantly higher than that.
@@martin2514 yeah I think the idea there is most of the people running these around the world are running them for actual application. So they want the rifle to be lighter. Though it’s built like a tank it’s pretty heavy so lightening the action was helping everyone but the competition community.
If I had enough money to buy 350,000 rounds of match .308 (and the time to shoot it), I'd probably shell out the $10k for an AI rifle. But as it stands, I've never worn out one of my two Remington 700's, and they don't get babied.
And wroth every penny, I have 2 AI rifles, also a mk13 mod 5, and use the ai-atx chassis in a custom build gun… and aslo a barrett mrad but that’s not the point. The point is AI is awesome. Im sad I don’t have 4 of um, just 2 cuz I sold the other 2 and I regret it. Sad, I know.
The action doesn't match the price imo. I know its built like a tank and mine seems to shoot everything ive tried under .5 moa. But the lift is heavy and the bolt binds up if you dont straight push from behind. I can deal with it but i can also throw an impact action in a chassis and have a nicer rifle for less. I guess i still have mine because it says accuracy international on it lol ill go ahead and admit it. As far as bolt lift people online are usually getting 6-7lbs. Thought mine was broken. Now im thinking it is but so are most peoples? Lol
Push the bolt forward toward the barrel, not sideways. No clue how you’re binding a bolt body thats the same diameter the entire length, but on a two lug with a small body and raceways “cant”
@@gconnoyer well when you have a loose bolt and apply forward pressure the back right is the fulcrum point directing all the pressure to the front left of the bolt. Which makes it not slide forward like glass, but more like pushing your bolt through sand.
If you’re binding an AI bolt, you’re either doing it on purpose or your fundamentals suck very bad. The bolt lift should also be negligible with the proper cycling. Place your thumb behind the bolt onto the chassis and swipe your hand up like a knife hand. It will pop the bolt open without the reticle moving off target.
@@jeromykimbrough1278 honestly man, I thought the same thing. But after using it as much as I have, I can tell you it’s tremendous. Easily my favorite upgrade without question.
All that praise has been for the AT actions. This is NOT that. The AT-X went through multiple revisions and then it was discontinued in a span of what... 4 years? A real bust not only by AI standards but any major action mfg. Who knows how many revisions will happen with this one. Just wait a couple years and buy it used. That, or spend the $6500 and buy the AXSA which is on clearance at Europoptic. This is basically the VP9 of HK guns.
The AT and ATX are the same actions. The ATXC has some changes over the ATX. The ATX was just the AT action dropped into a good chassis by a company in the US. The ATXC was a revision to the ATX for Border Patrol (C - Contract) They made a few changes and included all the add ins that the ATX didnt include.
LOL. The AT and the AT-X were literally the exact same actions. Also, the AXSR platform is fairly well universally loved (except the price) and the AT-XC is just a short action version of that action.
@@nvlaser9084 interesting. I’ve had impacts for a long time and I’ve never had a single fail on them so I totally agree with you there. But in all my years of competing, I’ve never seen an AI go down. What was failing on them?
@@longrangeprecisionshooters8935 it’s true lol. I have an AI and love it. Spuhr scope mounts have broken multiple times on me and this dude wants to trust the SICS?! It’s such a trash chassis lol. Anyway I’d pay for another AI if I had another need for one.
I can’t wrap my head around prs shooters buying more expensive titanium actions that were designed to be lighter with lighter material and then going you know what my rifle needs about 5 more pounds let me spend some more money and buy some weights. 🤦🏽♂️
@@453Balistic you really have two conflicting arguments here. A lot of PRS shooters are buying titanium actions for their lightweight hunting builds and set ups. Or the national rifle league hunting competitions where your rifle has to be under a specific weight. 12 lbs and 16 lbs depending on class. This video has an Accuracy International, which is a notoriously heavy action. For PRS competitions most guys are trying to go heavier. I’m not aware of anyone running any titanium actions at a match. Hopefully that clears things up.
@@hpjperformance2304 for me I mostly free float off of barricade. So if you’re wondering why you’re seeing that it’s built for competitive advantage.

So its great they cut 1/2 lbs weight out the action...... so you need an extra weight to replace it? I'm confused.
You can right it lighter by half a pound now.
