    AI AW Question

    They're just the new vs old skins the newer version being the bottom pic.....There is nothing different with the rifle's other than the plastic skins. It's a matter of personal preference really I have used the old skins, the new skins and also the viper skins from Victor Company. I personally...

    My new AIAE.....Range Report !

    My AIAE....Range Report Ok, so after being rather impatient and sighting it in quickly going straight to 700 yards I wanted to try and work up some loads. I loaded up some round using Berger 175gr Tactical OTM, Lapua brass, Fed 210M, 2208 (Varget) I set up and fired 3 factory 155gr match...

    Don't know what to get!!

    +1 I had the super varmint and if I buy another it will just be the standard varmint stainless or I'd go a lite version if it was just a walk around rifle. Although it's a 1 MOA my mate and I (one was .260 the other 6.5x55) struggled to find a load that didn't shoot they just seemed to eat...

    Don't know what to get!!

    Get the Tikka my last hunting rifle was a Tikka T3 Super Varmint in 6.5x55 and was a great rifle. There aren't that many good gunsmiths in Australia and getting a rifle built here is a long drawn out pain in the A$$. The decent ones are still going to be a LONG wait to get completed. For what...

    Rifle Scopes Kahles K624i vs S&B 5-25x56

    Hey mate where abouts in Aus are you? I recently (like a week ago) went through the exact same choice http://www.snipershide.com/shooting/snipers-hide-rifle-scopes/241613-aiae-optic-choice-help-schmidt-bender-vs-kahles.html I ended up going the S&B because I got a great deal on it but I think...

    My new AIAE.....Range Report !

    Gave the AE a quick facelift today and wanted to give a shout out to Victor Company very easy to deal with and they put out a great product had my order out the door very quickly. I had the black viperskins that came with the rifle but they are the older version with the larger screw hanging out...

    Rifle Scopes FFP vs. SFP in terms of Actual POI

    Not trying to be rude but I think you need to look into the difference between FFP and SFP a little more as you seem to be misunderstanding why the hold overs change and it isn't related to what the OP is asking. the centre crosshair is exactly 200 yards at any magnification because that's where...

    Rifle Scopes FFP vs. SFP in terms of Actual POI

    It's very easy to explain it's because the reticle images you posted for SFP scope at different magnification ranges. Without getting into depth about the difference between FFP and SFP (it's been done enough) with SFP the reticle does not stay constant in relation to the target like with FFP...

    My new AIAE.....Range Report !

    It's one of the two 1000 yard ranges at the Belmont Range complex up here in Brisbane. I was posted to Edinburgh for a little while years ago and still have relatives that live down that way.

    My new AIAE.....Range Report !

    Thanks man, I built the Remington I had to shoot while I ordered and waited on a MK III then I heard they were being discontinued and waited to see what the replacement was, then I was going to order and AT and wait the 6-12 months but a MK II came up locally ready to go so I jumped on it. I...

    Rifle Scopes FFP vs. SFP in terms of Actual POI

    Your POI doesn't change the hold off marks changes as the magnification changes as it's not FFP but the POI at the centre duplex should remain the same at all magnifications

    My new AIAE.....Range Report !

    Cheers. I'm very happy with the rifle. I will have to do a proper range session and test some loads and actually retrieve the targets, I was in such a rush I shot 8-10 rounds to sight in and zero then headed straight off to the 100 yard range I would have needed to wait another 20 mins for the...

    My new AIAE.....Range Report !

    Thanks mate, Yeh was great to finally shoot it and looking forward to working up some better loads for it. The warranty and tunnelling on the S&B as somewhat annoying but as you said the price keeps going up, The glass is brilliant though.

    My new AIAE.....Range Report !

    Well I picked up an AIAE MKII and just thought I would share a few pics etc with everyone. I struggled with which scope I was going to put on it and had initially decided on the Kahles but got a deal too good to pass up on the Schmidt. Went to the local short distance range to sight the rifle in...

    Rifle Scopes AIAE optic choice help..Schmidt & Bender vs Kahles

    Well I just did a complete backflip and decided the price on the S&B was too good to pass up, The Kahles with the MSR/K is still coming into the store and I have the option to return the S&B should I decide to change my mind AGAIN and go with the Kahles and get a refund for the difference. The...
