Accuracy International Picture Thread

Well I caved. Glad to finally join the club, this already feels way better than the 700 I was using.

Anyone have a mount or height recommendation for a zco 527 to clear the full length top pic rail? Won’t fit on a 1” mount like here.

1.5" is the standard now

Yep, 1.5 - 1.54", especially if you're going to run a rail on top of your fore end.

I'm not going to run one, and I still like my scopes mounted lower...so I went with a 1.3". It is almost too short for most dudes, but it fits me well. My cheek piece is on the first click up.

Run a 1.5 or a 1.54, because you don't want to find yourself in a situation where someone says "you can use my thermal/NV clip on" and you can't because you're not running the correct height rings.

Then later, you get to convince yourself than you need a clip on because your scope is already at the right height. :devilish:

Also...who makes this? I am intrigued.

Super easy install, pop off the old and pop in the new. I will say it is not a comfortable grip anymore if you plan to carry the rifle there.

Your other option would be the RRS BAX15(i think), which keeps the finger grooves but gives you arca and keyslot. I just think the sawtooth looks better.

I have the RRS one but that dependabilt one has an angle and daddy likes it.

I hate to say it, but my stuff shoots well on a Harris. My favorite is the Accu-Tac, but I dont think the Harris holds me back. My only gripe with the Harris is the spring loaded legs. More than once I've pulled the rifle to me in the field, had a foot catch a lump of grass, and dropped the muzzle on the ground.

Harris is kind of like the fat chick of bipods...you can get rounds off with one just fine, but don't let your friends catch you with it.

I would compare its presence in the above photo to something along the lines of a hot Italian model...but she's got a tampon string hanging out. 😉
 
@HKSniper11B what is this you posted on your ig?

You guys tell me what the hell I'm looking at, because the longer I look at the video screenshot, the more confused I get. As far as I can tell, it's an AT-X(C) MIL with MLOK. It has the full length ARCA bottom, along with MLOK in the mag well side, and appears to be a short action. But it has an AXSR Buttstock and grip angle. The more I stare at it the more it bugs the hell out of me.

Top photo is the AT-X(C) MIL with Keyslot. Note the overpressure hole, the angles around the extraction port, the angled cuts, etc. Then, below that is the ASR and AXSR for reference.

If the owner is on here (Looking at you, Hat Creek Training), and you can post some detailed photos of your rig plus any stories behind it, we would all appreciate it. Because if this rifle is a model that actually exists, I want one.

A member here hooked me up with his RRS Arca rail, and I changed out my BT-65NC Atlas Bipod to a BT47-NC PSR Contract Bipod, so I could continue using my classic spigot. The setup is required for an upcoming course so I could rock a tripod. Last upgrade will be the barrel to the 2018 profile Bartlein/WinTac 5R 1:10 twist, which frankly, I might need to do sooner rather than later to have the ballistics I seek from .308. The course I'm partaking in is at the end of the month, so should have some cool photos in the field to share after.

My Issued AI had all the bells and whistles. ATACR, IMUNS, clip ins, lights, lasers, lightsabers… all top of the line shit and you guessed it… a Harris 😂. I’ve never seen one fail on our team and we trained constantly(outside of deployments), ran the piss out of em and weren’t soft on em. We also didn’t have the latitude to put whatever accessory we wanted on our issued stuff. On the AI I prefer spigot mounted anything due to the height… but generally speaking a Harris won’t hold ya back. They’re good at a few things = cheap, durable, light, quick to deploy. They’re not the sexiest these days but they work. I’d not scoff at anyone with one.

In official config options it now lists MLOK as an option for the MIL/LE version of the AT-XC. I am assuming here, but T&E are underway for this version at Hat Creek. AINA did pass around 13 pre-production models of the AT-X a few years ago for T&E/Demos.

Would great to hear the official word if this config will be available for commercial users.

Here is your fail on a harris. I still use them and they replaced the part under warranty no questions.

That’s definitely a failure 😬. Never say never I guess. I just didn’t see it in my time. They impressed me enough that I still use em mostly. Except for on my AI. I will say I plan on trying one of the cool competition oriented bipods now that I can pick/use my own stuff.

I've had that exact same failure on a Harris, and I've had a CAL fail due to improper heat treatment on the notched plate causing the notch for the 90 degree position to round-over on one side, so that leg would fold back when the bipod was loaded (manufacturing defect). I'm not even running my stuff hard either - all just square range shooting. In both cases the manufacturers repaired/replaced without hesitation. I still run both types, prefer the CAL but Harris has it's place. My biggest gripe with the Harris is the rotating legs that roll away from you on a smooth, firm surface.

What exactly happened? In the mounting plate separating from the legs? Yep the Harris isn’t great on roof tops that’s for sure and the legs would roll. We’d carry nylon webbing/carabiners to anchor to our packs and apply back pressure in situations like that (hard surfaces/slopes)To be fair we were shooting 20lb AI’s that didn’t move a lot period. Don’t get me wrong I’m not saying theyre the end all… just pretty good, pretty light, pretty durable IME, and CHEAP compared to others. My experience is limited to my world.

Sounds like the same thing that happened to me, once upon a time. Rounded off the edge so the leg wouldn’t stay put. Easy repair and good CS, though.

Yes, my CAL was exactly like that, and my Harris failure was exactly like the one pictured up above. The CAL was due to some heat treatment out of spec from a supplier. Yours is likely the same.

Fwiw I had similar failure of both a Harris and an atlas. I was practicing a lot for PRS and put a sheet of astroturf in the yard so I wouldn’t get muddy. The bipods gripped it a lot and it held unlike the dirt that gives a little. So I was putting a lot of strain on the bipods and they eventually cracked. I was pretty surprised when it happened and the muzzle went right into the dirt. I think I could have practiced on dirt for 20 years and never broken either.

I mean imagine making mlok mil/le only option. If this holds true, what a cuck thing to do…
