Thanks Malcolm. Some else pointed that out as well and I stand corrected on that.

X-RING no worries. Keep up the great videos!

Thanks i think ill stick with the AX and that will be part of the package cause it will be a while to purchase the scope and other items ill consider the 6mm creedmoore thanks still checking out your other videos.

Thank you JerrBear! I hope you have a great week as well.

Thanks Jesse and thank you for watching. Awesome job on the 1k hits.

Hanna for the win

You are welcome Joaquin. I hope you have a great week sir!

Thanks Marie and thanks for watching.

It is super light compared to the AX. By the way, I didn’t know it had a metal chassis.

Thanks PLU5 Five and thank you the shoutout on your channel. I watched your video last night. Thanks again and thanks for watching.

@@XRING Appreciate it Alot Ray🙏We will Keep on Keepin On

Thanks Scott F. I really do appreciate you watching and supporting the channel from the beginning.

I don’t know you (and wouldn’t recommend anyone ever buy an AI, and I say that as an owner of an AX), but you shouldn’t discount your abilities! I took a friend out which hadn’t shot a rifle in 20 years. He was hitting a 1/2MOA swinger with my AX at 500 yards (had the .308 barrel in at the time). He worked his way down the rack and then hit the 1/2 MOa swinger three times straight. If he can do it, certainly you could, too!

What results?

Thanks Todd.

I haven’t had the chance to use the 6mm in a comp yet. The 6.5 is definitely a winner either way.

if you're not reloading your own ammo, 6.5 cm is cheaper and more available, but the gap is closing between the two. the 6.5 cm will also have a lot more barrel life so you will be able to shoot it more before needing a rebarrel if that's something you're worried about. also know, the 6mm cm can be harder on steel up close. just some unsolicited info.

shoot it .308.. down the road getcha a 6.5 or 6mm bolt action 👌👌👌

@@donniejoy4469 that's what I've decided to do.

@@ronsmith9251 best of both worlds!! enjoy!!

Thanks fly dawg! It is the Garmin Fenix 5s. Great watch.

Your question is a good one. I’ll give the answer in two parts. 1) the barrel harmonics necessarily and absolutely change. The laws of physics require this. 2) that may not (but almost always does) affect your POI. I have silencers (the legal term, but I use both interchangeably) from .22lr through and including .338LM. All but one will affect the POI shift. Digging a little deeper: sound (which is just vibration) travels faster in liquids than it does in gasses, and a lot faster in solids than it does in either. The sound wave from the ignition of the gunpowder will travel up and back from the barrel 20,000 times before the billet leaves the barrel (that isn’t a typo....20,000). When you hang a weight off the end of your barrel, it’s going to affect how that barrel reacts. Typically (but not always) it will reduce the variance of the barrel “whip” (kind of like a dampener, in simple terms), so many people see increases in accuracy when they shoot with a silencer (also helped by the lack of blast which helps with people not flinching). I have a label on each of my optics that tells me the adjustment I need to make if the silencer is not on the gun (except one, which is set to tell me what the adjustment is when the silencer is on the gun). Hope that helps.

Leupold Mark 4 rings. Thanks for watching.

I'd also like to know your thoughts on the Remington 700 in .280, please.

Sounds like a fun time Val. Just let me know!

Practical Precision Shooting I still have a Harris but recently upgraded to a Atlas there’s no comparison

I have shot a ton of the MPA rifles and I think they are great. The nice part about the AI is the quick barrel swap. That’s the biggest advantage.

IF you buy from united states, the barrel is a Bartlein. If you buy from the UK or rest of the world, it will be a LW. AI source barrel blanks from LW and Bartlein.

@@emorelix thanks. I was able to contact the gunsmith (Win Tac) and confirmed that it was a Bartlein. he also said sometimes they used another brand of blanks for these guns as well (an equally good brand) I can't remember exactly.

Great question Neil. A hot barrel can do the same thing as well. However, NOTHING like the heat generated with a suppressor within a few shots. Not talking machine gun rate of fire either.

Thanks for the clarification. They must use some really thick “skins on them”. Would it be the same chassis that is on my AX or just a really thin chassis ?

It’s basically the same chassis, it come all the way out to the spigot mount. The polymer sides sure make a difference when it’s -30c. That aluminum makes your hands cold very quick.

What’s up Casey!

Awesome weapon

Yes they are, got to do some more shooting soon.

Yea man for sure. Lemme know. Was that video today?

Yes they are Erok. It’s hard to argue lately with those Tikkas though. I have really been impressed with them.

@@XRING Also the Remington.

I feel ya with my 6.5mm creedmoor American predator and vortex crossfire ii bdc reticle scope. But I will say it's a deer killing combo out past 300 so far. Won't push it beyond 400 for ethical reasons for hunting. Gonna try some steel at 500 though

Hey D Babcock, I would probably look at the 168 or 175gr Sierra Match King and try to find some Varget powder. That’s a great starting point for that setup. I also check with Ken and he said The 168gr ELD Hornady bullet would be a good start. 43 gr to 45. Oal 20 thousandths off lands. ~2.830 OAL. You should be good to go!

@@XRING You're the best. Thank you!

D Babcock My pleasure D.

Hey Todd, that is one of the Surefire suppressor covers. One of the thickest I have seen. They retail for around 160.00

Hey Andrew. I am glad you can visually see the difference that it makes.

I agree with Rick it should be named the 6 MM cheater the flat shooting is insane

Yes you can. I was wondering who would notice that first.

I wonder how much weight difference there is

I’ll get back to you with that info. There is a guy around Canton and one in Old Fort.

I have had a few of the S&B’s but they aren’t what they use to be! Plumbers are some of the most successful people I know !

@@XRING haha yea I have to say I did good on this last job but it was a time/materials deal and we were gettin triple our base pay and a little perdiem stayin 2hrs away…back to earth now and good checks are gone..thanks ray

I really appreciate it. Email me at thexringchannel@gmail.com if you ever need to reach me. Thank you again and have a great week.

@@XRING Thank you kindly. Will note it down. My friends cousin and he brought him to me. Steven S. Mind blown,. Two weeks later. A gentleman came to tell me I was hired. Stay safe.

I did not know this.........very interesting information.

Nope that's fake news. www.thetruthaboutguns.com/accuracy-internationals-tom-irwin-clarifies-comments-regarding-gun-control-us/

One of the owner’s name is Tom Irwin. The VP of the US operations is Scott Seigmund. Scott and Tom (and one other gentleman, but not the other owner of AI) also own WIN tactical which is AI’s US-based barrel “producer” (I say producer because they use or have used, primarily bartlein barrels, so WIN chambers them, coats them and then puts their logo on them). Fun fact: It’s documented in AI’s own website info that they won their first military contract (UK) by making fraudulent misrepresentations to their government. They lied to their government about their capacity to produce rifles, and schemed the government reps when they showed up to check out AI’s operations (or lack thereof). You can read the story on their site or in some article online. I will say this from my own personal experience: that kind of disregard for honesty continues in the company to this day.

I know . Crazy for a mediocre case.

Indeed! If you shoot to any kind of distance (750-1500), the .308 will challenge your skill set a lot more. Plus....barrel life is a real thing. Most people won’t shoot their rifle enough to ever realize this, I suspect, but for the uninformed, it could be a little surprise a few thousand rounds down the road. Oh! And at closer ranges (say about 750 yards and in) the .308 will be carrying a LOT more energy, so from a tactical perspective (or hunting) this is meaningful. I like ‘em all, but think the above-describes advantages of the .308 get overlooked in the “debate” which usually focuses on “ballistic performance” and recoil.

Lol! I only use an iPhone on all of my videos and use IMovie on the phone to edit. I will start trying to use 1080 for uploads. Thanks

That Case is probably a pelican custom one direct from AI or Mile High. Contact both of them.
