Found an unfired Accuracy International AT for $4K. Inclined to buy it but unsure if that’s a decent deal; think it is but seeking safe advice. TIA.

Hate to ask but need purchase advice…

If I were buying I would want the quick change barrel version, itll have a hole for a screw inside pointed out here.
And if it has the small firing pin that would be nice too.

Make sure that scope is included in the deal.
No. Year of production is the 2 digits before the AT in the serial number (19 AT XXXXX would be 2019 production for example.)
2015 production and later should be small firing pin, but it's good to verify. 2014 and earlier were 2mm (large) firing pin, which may or may not be an issue depending what you plan to shoot out of it. It's not the end of the world, but getting a 15 or later with the small firing pin will prevent any possible primer issues in the future and save you the money from either having to bush the 2mm large firing pin or buying a new 1.6mm small firing pin bolt body and firing pin should you have issues with primer cratering or piercing, usually with small primer cases.
Sorry, back to the drawing board. While I was waiting to get an answer to a question he sold it out from under me. Next time I’ll be that guy who says ‘I’ll take it’ and THEN works the deal.
Nah, just kidding. I deal fairly and while I expect reciprocity, it’s the internet afterall.
Sorry I wasted y’all’s time.

For sale is a rifle system that is a “turn-key” precision package that consists of: the AI-AT 2.0 folding buttstock model (post-2015), two barrels, two ten-round magazines, and sling. The rifle skins are the classic AI green, the action rail is the 20 MOA low rail that also matches the...

I tagged one above. Zero affiliation with the seller. Looks like a member who posted on that thread may be able to vouch for them. Just be careful of scammers contacting you for payment
The rifle you had I can’t see a serial number on (at least the prior to AT portion which is the year as noted above) but if it was new and recently purchased it would have small firing pin.
The rifle I tagged above appears to be a 2015. I think from just trying to zoom in. It would have the SFP if it is
It also had a NV bridge and thumbhole stock. Which make it like alpha bracket

I have a couple AT’s and they’re well worth it!!
The one you had above also likely has a Lother Walther 308 barrel on it. The bottom one in this pic wears the same barrel

Or being an American and choosing one, like I did for my AI AT. :) -Stan Shhhhhhhhh Stan.🤫 That's kind of like admitting that you eat cucumber for the shape and not the flavor... Might want to sit that one out in the future bro...

Please tell me he put that scope on there just for pictures or to sell it as “with optic” in his listing, and was not planning on actually shooting it like that…
I am never short of amazed with people who will pay for top of the line everything else. Then settle for some shit box scope. Your main interface with the system is the sighting system.
He kept the scope for his Savage. Dumped the ai when he realized his Savage was just as good. 
Thanks. The number of rounds gives me pause; went through a barrel and then another 1500 IIRC?Firearms - Accuracy International AT 2.0 Rifle

That's how I read it.
Either way, it looks like it's in excellent condition - doesn't even look like it's marked up at the rear of the action where ejected brass would typically ding it up a bit. I wouldn't be overly concerned with that round count, that is small potatoes compared to some of them around here still going strong. It could have been pulled early and sold, also.
If you're really concerned, it looks like the original (or previous) owner replied in post #2, so you could ask him for additional details if you felt so inclined.
I think Jacob Bynum has 250,000+ rounds on his AW by now
Don’t worry about round count.
Barrels are like tires. You wear them out then you change them. AI barrels you can pick up here in the px or mile high/euro or have someone like black canyon or Manzella spin you whatever you want up.
Some guys run 15-20k a year on actions
Personally,
If I’m buying something like that I’d work out a price for the gun with just the 308 barrel. Or no barrel at all if I want to get something other than what’s offered. Shoot them a offer for what you want and if they want to sit on it for a bit then at least you have your name in
AT’s were discontinued. They’ve gone up in price since then. I paid $3k for the one on the bottom above. I wouldn’t sell it for less than $4k in same condition today
