Garbage hirtenberger? That’s stuff is good ammo. Nice gun. I handled an At-one stocked rifle with the other style of grip and found it very angular and uncomfortable. Whatever grip panels you have there look nicer.
 
That is one sweet looking rifle. If you really want to get the best out of it you will have to get reloading and work out a specific load for the rifle. Those groups will tighten right up.
 
Good for you. Here's my savage axis '06 Boyd's project. Did a pillar bedding, devcon 10110 action bedding and waiting for a 26'' prefit varmint contour barrel. The target grip panels are a must.

Can't wait for the new barrel to shoot it.

Thank you. They are definitely nicer grips to hold. As for the hirtenberger, I say it's garbage because I'm averaging 6 duds per pack of 20.

The military primer is hard and causes misfires with marginal springs.

Stick the little straw of a can of brake cleaner in the firing pin hole and rinse out the firing pin channel. That might give you a bit more power. Do not squirt in any lube.
 
I'm seriously considering throwing my xbolt into the at one stock. I'm more interested in the adjustabliity so I can fit it better to me, my rifle already touches holes at 100yrd stock. How do you find the sharp 90deg bottom and angular grips as well behind the tang?
 
Very nice looking rifle! It's interesting that you're having issues with the Hirtenberger. I shoot lots of that stuff in my Norc M14 type, and I've put a couple hundred through my Savage 110 with not a single dud. It's decently accurate for the price too. Are you buying the 360 round packages of boxer primed stuff that come in the sealed green plastic?
 
The plastic front part angles are indeed annoying. But I mostly shoot prone or at the bench with a bipod so it is not a big deal for me. The have a replacement with a wider base that I would recommend. The tang area has also some unconfortable sharp edges, but it’s laminated wood, so very easy to smooth out to your hand.

Bottom line is this AT-One is not a MacMillan for sure, but it cost a lot less too. It is also one of the very few options for Axis’s unless you like chassis systems like the MDT. They are not plug and play either, some bedding and fitting works are needed, but once done properly, you end up with a pretty nice rifle that can shoot. It just needs to be looked at for what it is, an affordable laminate stock.
