Accuracy International AT-X - 6.5 Creedmoor Build AND Quick Change Barrel POI Test

[@corrysherman8303]

awesome to see more coverage of this platform wish this video was out back when i started looking into multi cal/ quick change actions. The fixit sticks are the way to go especially with varying ambient temps changing how that allen screw feels if you only have the cheekpiece allen tool. I have 6.5 and 308 ai barrels when swapping cals with the known scope offsets for each barrel they usually are within 0.1-0.3 mil at 100 yards which is some really impressive engineering/machining. Loving the content so far keep up the good work !

[@FullCircleReloading]

Appreciate you watching! Surprisingly, there really is very little testing put out on the QC system. Not really sure why other than I'm sure people just believe it works??

[@American_hobo]

Sick, Ive got a at-xc on the way. Super pumped for my first AI

[@FullCircleReloading]

It'll slick up once you get some rounds on the action, just use it and you'll love it! Dont be like @longrangeprecisionshooters9835

[@texlee84]

You're gonna love it. Factory 6.5 Creed barrel on mine shoots 0.3xx with factory Hornady loads.

[@FullCircleReloading]

@@texlee84 Mine seemed to take 100-200rds before the groups really tightened up. Anything similar on yours?

[@American_hobo]

@@FullCircleReloadingalready stacking h4350 and hornady 140gr ELD-M’s in preparation for 2025 prs season. Really love the look of the 16” setup you got going.

[@FullCircleReloading]

@@American_hobo to me, makes it look WAY better. The super long forend reminds me of the MDTs or something and just not my jam.

[@Longshot762x51]

I got one of the last ATs before they got discontinued, love it! Train with the factory .308 but also have a 6GT barrel for chill shooting/games.

[@FullCircleReloading]

I was worried about making the switch from a full custom 700 platform... but man there is just something about the AI actions and capability for sure!

[@benjaminrmac9171]

Great video, thanks for making it!

[@FullCircleReloading]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@metrobadger]

That’s a cool setup. I like all of the constants you retain; trigger, scope, chassis.

[@FullCircleReloading]

Appreciate the feedback!

[@Lethal_Venom]

Amazing rifle, awesome shooting

[@FullCircleReloading]

Thanks for watching, appreciate the comment!

[@jjweiland1041]

I agree you don't need a 30 cal. I went with a 6.5saum that walks all over the 308 after 500yds. It's truly a do it all caliber.

[@FullCircleReloading]

6.5 SAUM definitely will do the job!

[@TimSteitz]

Great job shooting and editing Ol’Greg. I bet If you were shooting a 308 those plates would’ve been vaporized. 😂

[@FullCircleReloading]

DESTROYED. Broken stands, hangers, and blown off chunks of AR500

[@OFFICIALUND]

3.08, huh? So, 78mm mortar shells? Yeah, that'd do it.

[@TimSteitz]

@@OFFICIALUND fixed it, im kind of a dumbass and tried putting 7.62 and .308 together into one number.

[@joshgoetz8879]

Great content, dig the format / quality. Cant beat the AI!

[@FullCircleReloading]

Appreciate it! Definitely love it. And the noise the action makes is MUSIC.

[@InfamousTactical]

I have the Curtis quick change barrel system. Love it. Makes things very versatile

[@FullCircleReloading]

Have you tested how consistent the POI shift is? I know the Terminus is the same style, but I think I've only seen one video demoing that.

[@texlee84]

They really do benefit from a 1.5" optic mount, it's a mind f&#@ but given the height of everything they work best. I'd love to make the forend on my AT-XC shorter but in all honesty it serves a role better suited for full length barrels, the customs and gassers can cover the shorter barrel roles. I'll shoot out these two 6 Creed barrels I have in the safe but then I'll likely have a 6 GT or 25 Creed spun up going forward. The Fix-It-Sticks 49 in/lbs preset torque torque limiter for the AI guns is a life saver here and makes for consistent repeatability on barrel swaps. Great video, love the content and I hope to see more of the AI.

[@FullCircleReloading]

Yeah I'm used to 1.3 now (but I did toss on the High Action Rail) Frankly I hate how how the scope will be away from the exposed barrel where I dont have the bridge so thats the real reason I havent switched... that and $300 for a new mount. Definitely more AI content coming. Allen (the short ugly one) just got an ATXC we'll be using for the 308 vs 6.5 Pt 2 video!

[@texlee84]

@@FullCircleReloading Solid reasoning for keeping the lower mount especially since it's already on there. I've considered making content with my AT-XC since there's very little of it out there at the moment but I just don't have enough juice in my Give A $hit tank to bother lol.

[@FullCircleReloading]

@@texlee84 VERY little about it for sure. Also completely understand lol the amount of hours that get put into a video is wild. I'd say its about an hour per minute of finished video.

[@texlee84]

@@FullCircleReloading Within the first 60-80 rounds it printed 0.3xx five-round groups with factory Hornady 108's. I took it out to 1000 with ease, knocking 1moa swingers repeatedly in a line at 500 as well, it just flat out shoots.

[@rosalindstewart7013]

Good vid mate, subbed, cheers Yogi ✌️🇦🇺

[@FullCircleReloading]

thanks for the sub! Appreciate you watching!

[@Boon20]

Exelent choice in optics. Top of the line for top of the line.

[@FullCircleReloading]

Tangents are awesome.

[@Boon20]

@FullCircleReloading what reticle do you have in it? I have a jtac in mine yours looks like a gen2xr maybe?

[@FullCircleReloading]

@@Boon20 This is the Gen3xr

[@LongShotTactical]

Anyone saying a 147gr going 2600+ fps can't kill a deer is hilarious. Nice rifle!

[@FullCircleReloading]

Completely agree there. The Fuddlore is astounding. Appreciate you watching and commenting!

[@LongShotTactical]

@@FullCircleReloading great content, glad I found the channel!

[@briandavee3225]

I've shot a ton of missouri whitetails with a 6.5 with both 6.5x47 and 6.5prc and with the 140 elite hunters it's absolutely devastating.

[@FullCircleReloading]

it is ABSOLUTELY effective on whitetail. Shotplacement is obviously everything.

[@maquereautin]

Greg is it worth the extra money for the xc? The bolt lift on that rifle is what blew my mind. Felt spring loaded. Reading a little online, people are saying the ATX bolt lift is heavy compared to the ATXC. Fuds? Truth?

[@FullCircleReloading]

I have zero complaints with the ATX bolt lift. If you hop onto my IG (@gconnoyer) I have a few videos at matches shooting it and it disturbs my sight picture or lay of the rifle basically none. Also if you go here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/nn7cq4p_qdeaabssi=H-oGg2-9nYJRrr7y&t=1129 you can see me running my buddies ATXC through the trigger cam. Its brand new and not broken in, so it will only get better. Appreciate you watching!

[@Adam-e8h9e]

Well done

[@FullCircleReloading]

Thank you!

[@46caliber]

How long you guys been holding out on us with those golden outtakes?

[@FullCircleReloading]

Kinda filming as we go here. We need to hammer some videos out and get a surplus in the que lol

[@mterry3788]

Love the video brother, quick question: How did you get your vortex remote mounted where you have it? I have mine in the mlok but it's too far forward. Also, would you share the link for the badger Diving Board you showed in the video? I have badger rings and their Diving Board but never knew they offered interchangeable options! Subscribed for more of your content. Cheers!!

[@FullCircleReloading]

I just used the velcro the remote came with and put it there. Fits that slot in the chassis surprisingly well. if you go to Badger's website and click on their "condition one accessories" tab they have 3 pages of options/addons. Great system

[@olCoyote]

Does your setup balance well on a tripod or is it as rear heavy as you would expect?

[@FullCircleReloading]

It is a tad rear biased on a shooting bag, but on a tripod you can slide it far enough forward that it balances well.

[@blaiz4]

this can be dont with terminus action as well

[@FullCircleReloading]

Its wild the lack of info/testing I've seen from any QC action. Even the AI, I think there were only a handful and one being whoever initially started importing them into the US

[@dccmotographics]

What torque tool you are using mate ?

[@FullCircleReloading]

@@dccmotographics We use Fix-It-Sticks. They’re well worth the money.

[@Bf1942cod]

Do you have any issues running 6dasher with aw mag?

[@FullCircleReloading]

With a standard, stock AW mag yes. With the AW's and an HRD kit they are much better. I have GrayOps Billet 12rd 6BR mags now that are 100%

[@Dabocado]

Please say it’s bad. I bought a q fix but always wanted an AI since I was a boy lol.

[@FullCircleReloading]

Sorry man. It's awesome and you should get one lol

[@longrangeprecisionshooters8935]

How big of a buck did you shoot?

[@FullCircleReloading]

a little 8 pointer... but he was good for about 70lbs of meat!

[@HendoSam]

Solid video @Greg. It’s a small thing but I didn’t realize how much difference it made in looks when you cut the hook off your butt pad. Looks way cleaner.

[@FullCircleReloading]

Yeah, I tried the AI butt flip thing but didnt like how the narrow part was then at the top? So I just hacked the stupid hook part off.

[@dwoodoutdoors]

But will it blend?

[@FullCircleReloading]

Frankly, I'm not willing to put it in a blender. But I bet the action alone would ruin quite a few blades.

[@ValidViking]

The price tag takes the air out of your lungs. The accuracy is great, but still.... $7k can buy a lot of other options with similar results.

[@FullCircleReloading]

Its all relative. Most people are perfectly fine and happy with their $400 Ruger Americans. And they serve their intended purpose for them.

[@steveburke6947]

Do you get the repeatability from all barrels or just AI barrels?

[@FullCircleReloading]

The barrel in this video is a 6 Dasher cut by Hunt's Long Range. The short 16" AI barrel has had the same repeatability for me though.

[@richardorsulich4698]

"Beware the man with on gun"

[@FullCircleReloading]

It's amazing what consistency in a platform can yield in results for the shooter.

[@pilchfilms]

What do you do for your calves?

[@FullCircleReloading]

calf raises while your mom rubs them with MSG.

[@nicholasp5817]

Very nice setup. I'm guessing you have invested over 12K into this puppy. I hate money too.

[@FullCircleReloading]

DEFINITELY hate money. I would like to not add up the cost on it! LOL

[@djalluget6870]

Good vid. What a bunch of ai snobs. Lmao

[@FullCircleReloading]

It's true. #masterrace lol

[@hunterrogersyoyo3345]

Depends what projectile you’re shooting, but also 6.5 Creedmoor loses more deer than any other caliber a year and that is a fact

[@FullCircleReloading]

I would LOVE to see the stats on that. It’s a bold comment Considering the .243 is the #1 youth cartridge in America and the creed has significantly more impact energy….

[@FullCircleReloading]

Also, thats because hunters typically shoot 8-12moa within their point of aim regardless of how their guns group.

[@dwoodoutdoors]

Just say you don’t know how to accurately hit a kill zone within 100 yards. It’s much shorter and to the point.

[@tylermartin9385]

How many damn videos you gonna do with empty mags Connoyer?! And watch your damn mouth, KZbin ain't gonna give you all your money!

[@FullCircleReloading]

Hahaha ZERO dollars from the channel. I leave the empty mags for videos instead of matches like some people

[@zackerydonelson1332]

Thanks Greg, you just sold an AI 😂

[@FullCircleReloading]

Just let us know if you wanna order one in! We got approved to be an AI dealer.

[@ryanchism9916]

I don’t understand the argue over rifle calibers when you can kill with a bow. Shoot whatever you want.

[@FullCircleReloading]

FuddLore. Someones grandad missed a deer with something and it has just been passed on as fact that the reason he didnt tag that deer was because it was X caliber. They fail to simply factor in the logic that a bullet going 2-3x the speed of sound, BLASTING into a vital organ will be deadly.

[@sc6802]

america say what you want, cussing dont bother ME. however cussing around my little ones does, so i wont watch this video around my kids anymore. id like to tho. just food for thought and whos watching

[@FullCircleReloading]

Yes, these videos are marked "Not for kids" Thanks for watching!

Edit

[@FullCircleReloading]

Unedit

[@OFFICIALUND]

The AT-X is a nice rifle IF you don't have the hand strength to lift the bolt on an AXSA. Otherwise, it's AXSA Master Race.

[@FullCircleReloading]

OR if you care about rifle stability in anything other than a prone position.

[@hpjperformance2304]

AND its 7mm -08. NO REASON for a stupid barrel that can come loose accidentally.

[@FullCircleReloading]

I can't believe these high end companies are producing such low levels of machining and repeatability. Ruger for lyfe!

[@hpjperformance2304]

GUARANTEE that my Savage AXIS 2 in 7mm-08 would outshoot this overpriced piece of crap rifle,,,, Even at 500yards,,,, That group was horrible,,,, Mine is 1/4MOA and only 1/2MOA on its WORSE DAY~!!!~

[@FullCircleReloading]

I can't believe you're only getting 1/4 moa out of that. Have you checked to see if your scope mounts are tight?

[@LongShotTactical]

7mm 08 shoots a 0.284 in diameter bullet so that’s pretty impressive to shoot a group smaller than a single bullet hole. 😂
