Ray you are amazing 7 shots back to back. It’s a pleasure watching you shoot. Thank you for all your knowledge and the work you put to make videos. It is very much appreciated. Thank you sir
This is a really great video and very enjoyable to watch! I really enjoy watching your videos like these. There's no better feeling than playing with a new gun! It's like that feeling of being in a brand new relationship where everything is new and exciting 😂.
I can shoot better with less money than a 1000 dollar rifle and just ammo from handloading and practice you also need to know how to shoot (fundamentals) lots of people say they do or think they do and they really don't
@@eyesintheskies hehehee. If you do... Make sure you also include negatives in your reps. A good 4 second negative every rep every set, every muscle group, in cycles. So do the 4 second negatives for a month. Then do a regular routine for month 2. Then the 3rd month... do 5 sets of 5 with the heaviest weight you can handle and fail getting 5 reps on your 5th set. Once you complete your 5th rep 5th set. Increase the weight by 5 to 10 and repeat that for a month. Then start back all over again to month 1 thru 3. I guarantee you months 4 through 6 you'll see real true honest gains in strength and endurance getting through your workouts. It makes them fun too. Keeps your muscles always guessing. And performing isometrics in front of a mirror too. You'll be able to hold in a standing position like a champ. This is my very own routine that I created, and many others have thanked me for teaching it to them. And you'll be glad you did too. 💪😎🇺🇸
AI just makes such awesme rifles as I have only shot one but it was an incredible experience for me....I love it as you use em like an everyday rifle and shoot so well on top of it as I can only say congrats for your ability to do so....Good stuff...
Great shooting skills and great rifles! Thank you for showing us those rifles and details about how they work. Good luck on your upcoming Wyoming match.
Awesome shooting Ray! Really like it when you shoot other positions. 700 off-hand is just ridiculous. 200 highpower isn't even a challenge compared to that.
Great shooting u just have been a sniper in a nother life love your channel I live in the UK a friend of mine has a a I in 308 and 6.5 creedmoor isn't a long range shooter but one day he had me hitting a 9 inch plate at 506 yards witch made my day
Great review X-Ring , that’s one awesome platform . I must say I thought the barrels on these rifles were a lot thicker than they actually are. Great shooting as well .
Ray, you really should start a Patreon account. The content you are creating is top shelf and expensive to produce. I feel like I'm stealing content watching this on YT. Thanks for the great work!!!
Thanks for this demo of the AI and the power of the .338 LM. AI makes excellent sniper rifles in several models and several US custom rifle makers use their chassis. I still feel the Barrett MRAD is currently the premier sniper rifle in the world in terms of the overall combination of accuracy, modularity, ease of maintenance and reliability. I've shot them and Desert Tactical and like both but the MRAD is easiest to live with overall. But with my budget I'm left with my 6.5 CM RUGER Precision Rifle with some add-ons and a Bushnell ERS scope with H59 reticle. Still accurate and still fun.
Nice Rifle. 👍 I shoot and compared the AI AXMC, Desert Tech SRS-A2, and the B MRAD but went the DT SRSA-2 in .338 LM, .308, & 6.5 CM. The Caliber Conversation was a lot quicker, and it repeats, after the caliber changes.
700 Standing......Holy Moley!!!!! Ray has had some serious training at some point in his life and I'm pretty sure had some sort of profession putting that training to save lives. Fellas....in this day and age...be glad Ray is on our side :)
Ray, just a tip for bolt body change. If you moved safety select to the middle before removing the bolt off the rifle then you don't need a tool to change out the bolt body. Great video as always.
Very cool man. I thought I remember seeing a video of you and the guys shooting an AIAx in 338 with a tikka and a Remington. Maybe that was the rifle that’s now the 6mm and now the light tan rifle is new. Anyways, that’s just about the same exact setup I want for my AXMC. A bit of a pipe dreamer admittedly but it’s something in the road map of purchases I need to make for the sake of my soul haha.
Great videos. Always live this guy showing his toys off. Love the 2nd amendment rights. Keep up the great work. I was a weapons specialist in the Army. Dont want to get into detail about me.
Picked up a lightly used MPA 338 recently. Got some good loads for the 300smks and 300berger OTM. 93g of H1000 on the SMK. 98g of RL-33 on the berger but Berger’s to long to mag feed.
I just got myself a Leupold Mark 5 just like yours .My only gripe is the Turrets are a bit Mushy..It is real light and clear and tracks fair.Not as good as my Tract Toric 34mm though. Great video Xring.I love your videos.
Love my AI. Fit and finish is excellent. I have it chambered in 338 Norma, 300 Norma and 6.5 creedmore. Soon will have 338 Lapua barrel also. I already own a Cadex in 338 Lapua so no rush there. But ill tell you from experience they are a blast to shoot. 1000 meter shots are easy accomplished. And reload cuts cost well over half. BTW nothing sweeter than watching a 300 grain bullet lob into a target then hearing the ting off r-500 plate steel 3 seconds later
Just curious what’s the point of getting the Lapua barrel? Seems redundant unless you prefer their brass. How much more reach do you realistically have with 338 Norma vs 300?
@@ertatta When I purchased the rifle the 338 Lapua was not available so I went with the 338 Norma. As far as range they are all pretty much the same. Just nice to have options.
Are people really stupid enough to complain about gun noise on a gun video? I mean as long as its not 3k rounds full auto constantly who cares. Great video! Glad Ella had a good time!
338 - try a 20” barrel. It balances much better than the 27” ( I have both) . It transforms it from a prone position rifle to something that is easy to use for positional shooting. Downside is loosing about 100fps. If the barrel likes 285 Hornady Eldm’s it’s an excellent way to go.
Great review. Hey - you mentioned you’ll be at the Hornady PRC in "Wyoming". I hope that you just misspoke, I’m pretty sure we’ll be in Utah. 😆 I’m RO'ing. See you there on the 10th.
You about gave me a heart attack! I got a last minute sponsor slot and was told to go to Evanston, WY. Luckily, that was just the recommended lodging area. I just realized the match is is Utah but only about 30 mins from town. Thanks for the information and thanks for watching!
I’m saving up to buy an AXMC by the end of the year. Word on the street is they’re stoping manufacturing of the AXMC for the civilian market to push the new model that just came out.
Yeah but what about parts support then? I've called MSHA and priced AI parts and it wouldn't be difficult to have $1,000-$2,000 in spare AI parts in your parts bin if you owned one and needed to prepare for AI to stop manufacturing parts for these.
No BS, no ego trip, nada...
Just a solid channel.
Love it!!!!!!
Dude you've got a great channel here and it's always informative and professionally done. I really enjoy learning from your experience. 👍🥁🇱🇷

338 is why we can't have nice targets🤣😁
I love ugly targets and they love me. 😆

@@justaregularguy3827 No one cares, I assure you.
Outstanding shooting!! Makes me not be ashamed of still shooting .308!! Great content x-ring!!
700 yards off hand? You sir, are the man.
For someone who struggles to stay steady with a 3.5kg air rifle I was seriously impressed. I mean how much does a setup like that weigh?
@@eyesintheskies around 6.5kg
@@eyesintheskies 7+ with a scope
@@emorelix blimey I need t join a gym!

Very nice Review & great shooting! That rifle is a beast, my buddy just got one in 338 & I get to try it soon! Carry on
Heavy hitter for sure! 💪😎🇺🇸 Congrats on the new setup Ray, Looking forward to seeing you stretch the legs out on it.
Great shooting skills and great rifles! Thank you for showing us those rifles and details about how they work. Good luck on your upcoming Wyoming match.
Thanks Wess and thanks for watching the channel.
I've been watching your vids. and have learned . You are best known to me for teaching and instructing your teen for future excellence. Bravo!!!!!!!!
Next generation will be slightly better. Oh boy!. I'm glad I'm 82 years old so probably won't see it anyway.
Awesome buddy great shooting. Great channel.
Your videos are an inspiration for excellence.
Awesome shooting Ray! Really like it when you shoot other positions. 700 off-hand is just ridiculous. 200 highpower isn't even a challenge compared to that.
I had to watch this one twice , the man behind the weapon is beyond impressive
Man I keep watching this you are a natural 👍. Awesome videos buddy
Thanks Andy and thanks for watching.

Thanks Edward and thank you for watching the channel. The AI’s are one of the best setups out there.
New to your channel. Appears you have a multitude of interesting vids. Subbed! Though I’m just a recreational shooter; no doubt I’m a big 2A dude.
*X-RING* Bravo well done, thank-you sir for taking the time to bring us along. Yeah 15K not in my wife's life time. God Bless brother.
That is a nice system. Great video as usual.
I live in the UK and I’m about to get myself an AXMC. Extremely excited
Cool video Ray 👍
oh wow, makes me want one, the tactacam view is great, I think that's how I initially found your videos lol, keep up the great work
The Tactacam FTS is a great system.You won't regret it.
Great shooting and a nice rifle
Great review X-Ring , that’s one awesome platform . I must say I thought the barrels on these rifles were a lot thicker than they actually are. Great shooting as well .
That was nice and perfect - would be so nice if those were available over here :( keep up your great work and hats off on your mini X series :)

That's why I love the 338
Absolutely badass Rifle !!!!!!!!!!
Best long range channel
Thank You Sir! This was a great demo of the AI rifle!
Oh yes that’s a great system and shooting also , I also enjoy my 338 Lapua wonderful round
Great review of a awesome platform. Great shooting but don’t expect nothing else from you!
Wow that's some set up 👍👍
They’re gonna love you at that range, resetting all the steel😂

Thanks Dan72 Yes, no tool needed. Just a bad habit of mine.
Man you make it look easy

For the bipod press the feet further up and you will compress the springs. Then the feet will deploy without having to manually deploy them

Picked up a lightly used MPA 338 recently. Got some good loads for the 300smks and 300berger OTM. 93g of H1000 on the SMK. 98g of RL-33 on the berger but Berger’s to long to mag feed.
If I spent $30,000 on a rifle I still would not shoot like you. Man can you shoot!!
He's good! That's years of experience!
30,000 Mexican pesos
@Donald Martin 2k on the rifle and learn the fundamentals then practice the fundamentals. that's it.
I thought it was funny he spent $15,000 on rifle but cried at not putting 2 extra rounds in the mag 🤣😂
@@fortnitedaddy7266 The rifle was not his I think? He probably could review it but had to buy the ammo for it himself.
I just got myself a Leupold Mark 5 just like yours .My only gripe is the Turrets are a bit Mushy..It is real light and clear and tracks fair.Not as good as my Tract Toric 34mm though.
Great video Xring.I love your videos.
really nice review!
Nice tutorial...….Very well explained
Nice kit)
Out standing review/ presentation 👏👏👏🤙🏽🌈😎
Thanks Da Lefty and thanks for watching.
You make it look so easy I can even sit Indian style no less shoot and hit something
You make it look easy brother
a sweet looking rifle system
Hahaha you’re killing the steel brother🤣…. I love it
Nice gun and nice MT patch on that hat
You make it look too easy lol. Nice shooting out there and keep the videos coming!!
Great video and review. Now hike up there and fix the targets. Lol
Rick they’re gunna ban X-Ring from using the 338 because he’s busting up all the steel gongs lol
LOL 😁
Nice video, hope you could review the AXSR :)
badass!!
22:40 show off...
Nice shootin. Slick piece of kit.
so cool
Really amazing, 700 yards hit the target without support

gotta love a 308
Very cool to watch steel flip at 600 yards
Have you done a review on the tactcam? If not could you, I've been looking to get a scope camera.
Here is a modest little review of the FTS and why I really like it. ua-cam.com/video/zFM3WiYY3SA/v-deo.html
I’m trying to get in to long range shooting. After your competition, you should do an m40a1 build. Figure it’d be a good starter.
