    with the hard foam came with the rifle for better fitment. The egg foam works but it is a bit too soft.
    I was very tempted by the AT-X Arlington was selling for 10k, didn't want to register my rifles though...
    What do you use the rifle for? Competition or just a range toy?

    Primarily for PRS, sometimes for F class too.

    The key feature I want from the rifle is the painless barrel swap and option for prefit barrels.

    Yeah I was dead keen on an AT-X for those reasons.
    The whole prefit barrel thing doesn't work super well over here but I imagine if you have a smith you use frequently they could certainly start doing them.

    Rifle is 6.5CM? How has it been going for you in PRS?
    Where is that white foam from?

    Was planning to import some prefits from overseas. Unfortunately I haven't run into any gunsmith that can do the prefit jobs yet.

    Yes the rifle is chambered in 6.5CM with 24" barrel.

    The foam came with the rifle for which oddly fit into the SCA case nicely with little modification.
