i cant figure out why they even sell the thumbhole stock, its is horribly uncomfortable…
Vipers OTW
not a fan of heavy triggers, but the AI 2 stage is TITS! 2nd stage is 1.2 pounds
also, CHRIST! is it heavy, the 26" MTU profile is way overkill dam thing needs wheels…
sold 2 guns to buy it…
i prefer the thumbhole but i’m glad they came out with the pistol grip so more people could enjoy their rifles. AI’s really are a amazing weapons i have 2 you should love it. They are actually stopping production this year of the AI with something new supposedly coming at shot show, i guess we’ll have to wait and see.
Congrats!!! You’ll love this rifle. Been lusting after a 6.5 CM MK3 myself. My buddy owns the company that makes Viperskins, but I just keep mine stock (I own a .308 AW). They are heavy, but you’ll get used to it and you’ll fall in love with that buttery smooth action and the reliability too.
Just a great rifle! I heard AI was dropping the AE rifles too for 2014 and coming out with a new replacement. Should be interesting…
What’s something like that cost?
Thats a baddass weapon. NIce
Do you have comparative photos of the two stocks. Thumbhole vs pistol grip.
Really nice gun.
very nice. good glass, great caliber, suppressed… great choices
everything you see, about 8k, just the gun, with the options, close to 5k
vipers…
got the vipers today… 100% better…
Schwing! 
sweet rig! now lets see some groups
still doing test loads…
got good groups, but the FPS sucks…
For the 123Amax, you’ll want to give varget a try.
in my r700, varget and 123 hated each other… not 1 load worked…
and all were slower than h4350
i tested the 39.3 varget 123 load then normaly shoots well for all, it was just under 1moa in the AI, not great, not horrible, but dog slow as well
I am just getting into the precision rifle game and have been looking at the AICS 2.0 or 1.5 for my Remington 700 Tac., are they stopping production of the chassis system as well? I sure hope not, I have been heavily leaning toward these as replacements for the OEM Stock.
no…
For years I wanted an AI, but then DTA came into the picture and changed my world… Congrats on the purchase!
This news saddened me and almost made me regret getting rid of my MKIII, but it did help fund my AX. I’m anxious to see what AI has up their sleeve. I’m guessing PSR butt upgrades to the AX and AX chassis on the AE rifle. But that’s just a wild guess.
BTW, weighed it today… 21 pounds
