That paired perfectly with the Nightforce ATACR 7-35×56 scope and made it so almost 100% of the scopes internal elevation adjustment was useable. With the ERA-TAC adjustable mount dialed to 40 MOA of incline plus the 20 MOA of taper/cant built into the rail on the AI AXSR rifle, I had a total of 60 MOA of downward taper.

Let’s start with some specs for the Accuracy International AXSR rifle I tested: In this post, I’ll share some highlights about the rifle, and give an honest perspective of both the strengths and weaknesses. Jorge Ortiz took 1 st place this year and he was also shooting an AI AXSR rifle chambered in 300 Norma Mag. I ended up placing 4 th overall at the Nightforce ELR Steel Challenge in Wyoming using the AI AXSR rifle. I received the rifle from AI in early May, which gave me about six weeks to develop a load and get comfortable behind the rifle before the Wyoming ELR match. Scott asked me what I’d like the rifle chambered in, and while I had considered trying another cartridge, now that Lapua makes 300 Norma Mag brass, I was compelled to stay on that horse and see what kind of improvement I might get going from Norma to Lapua brass. I had checked out the ASR rifle at SHOT Show earlier this year, and after learning a little more about it, my interest was piqued. While I have owned custom rifles in Accuracy International chassis, I’d never spent much time behind one of their complete rifles. The AI AXSR is the commercial version of the rifle they developed for the Advanced Sniper Rifle (ASR) contract for USSOCOM. In a conversation with Scott Seigmund from Accuracy International, he asked if I’d be interested in testing their new AXSR rifle. The past two years I competed in that match I used a 300 Norma Mag built on a Surgeon XL action in AIAX chassis. Earlier this year, I started planning what I might shoot in the Nightforce ELR Steel Challenge rifle match that is held each year up in Wyoming.
