For the guys wondering; Oh! they shoot. Triggers out if this world. I have the 2017's that were sent to Canada initially but didn't do well because they were made like Ferrari's and sold for $12k or so. They are a marvel of technology. I was in love with the PGW's until I handled and shot these things. The best I have ever handled and believe me I have had a few rifles come and go. You should take a look at the 2017 in detail. The raised action to aid in smooth loading. The whole action is coated not just the bolt. I buy and sell all the time, but these 2 will never leave my safe. Lovely video by the way, need to check a bit more on the technical details as they're new on the market. Cheers
Had one and sold it, you are correct though what a beautiful gun! unfortunately most guys get caught up on brand name or a "look" and thus have a bit of a bias when presented with something new. I'm very excited to see how this will continue to perform. I want to do another video on this but its been so freaking cold here I haven't had a chance. Thats one of the Primary differences between the X, T and V is the action and bolt coating
The Venus X doesn't have m-lok on the side of the chassis and the older ones don't have the integrated arca rail, but you can a bolt on one from Victrix. The T does look better out-of-the-box for PRS, but the X is close. I'm looking forward to shooting mine!
Great review. Thanks. I’m from Canada as well and I just bought the same rifle, except the Venus V. I was wondering how you get around inserting your cleaning rod straight into your bore guide so it slides smoothly down the barrel? I’m asking because whether the cheek is up or down it’s always a bit in the way to get my cleaning rod in nice and straight. I definitely love this gun. Love the action and the benchmark barrel (V version), but unless there is some trick I don’t see, I find this to be a real design flaw which you wouldn’t expect from a 6k+ gun. I figured to ask you how you got around that. Any help and advise would be really awesome and super appreciated. Thanks
just uploaded a vid, initial testing with no seating depth tinkering and a base load seems to be starting at just under 1/2 MOA, I'll do some more ladder testing and see how low it'll go :D
Unfortunately still waiting for that moment, its been super windy around here recently and I have some loads made up for it already. I do have high expectations for it though, my last victrix shot everything better than 1 MOA and the stuff it liked was one hole type groupings
@@glennwood3912 I can only speak for my self I own one AI AT I had Mile High shooting instal the folding stock and love it I also own one AI AXMC . For context I Also own A Cadex Defense all the rifles are very accurate never had any problems, but I prefer the AI over the Cadex Defense. The quick barrel and caliber change just takes AI over the top Get one after you get over the sticker shock you will be all smiles every time you shoot it

Id love to see some shooting footage on this video and your observations afterwards.
Shooting Video posted! audio seems out of sync though so may need to upload it again :)
Take notes Cadex on the swag in the bag!
Thats Exactly it. the little things :)

Hi Hauke
Did you find a solution for cleaning the barrel? Interested.
I commented on your other post, there's an Allen key to remove the cheek rest. very simple
Absolutely curious what this rifle can do for accuracy... nice to see ifits a 1/4 or 1/2moa gun. Sure looks sharp!

@@pewpewreview5376 my best guess is 3/8 inch...
I'm not sure about bright orange
*cries in poor*
A pretty rifle is useless. How does it shoot?? Only accurate rifles are interesting.

buy an AI
AI has basically no support in canada, I've been waiting for a bolt for almost a year now. They are amazing when they work though
looks like a shitter sako m10
Accuracy International AT-X it’s a better rifle
you say that but after the problems they've had with it... I'd say you might be wrong. I'm going to do a comparison between this and the AX shortly
What problems have they had with the AI AT-X. I’m a hairs breath away from buying one. Thank you.
