    Off the shelf bolt gun

    I've shot the Tikka and the RPR and the Tikka felt a lot better built to me. Nicer action on the bolt and finished to a much higher standard in terms of machining. Just felt like a much higher quality product.

    Against the grain?

    I just bought an AI AX but managed to get the S&B PM2 Scope second hand for £1600 vs £2900 new. Depends how long you have to wait for one to come up for sale. The other option is just buy what you want but put half the price on a zero percent credit card deal for 18 months and pay it off. You...

    Which bullet for .300 winmag long range in an AI AXMC (11 twist)

    Thanks for your help. Just on the range question. The ranges I will be shooting on are at an elevation of anywhere between 350 and 1000 Ft above sea level. The long range I shoot on goes out to 2 miles so realistically looking to build a load that goes out to 1500 metres for the 300 win mag...

    Which bullet for .300 winmag long range in an AI AXMC (11 twist)

    Thanks guys. I’ve not ordered the barrel yet I was just using the Information AI puts out in its marketing. The AI AXMC data sheet says the barrel is 11 twist and that was what was concerning me. Agree the 10 twist is better for the heavy bullets

    Which bullet for .300 winmag long range in an AI AXMC (11 twist)

    I’m thinking of adding a .300 win mag barrel to my AXMC and wanted to ask people on here which high BC bullets people are using that work with the 1/11 twist on the AI barrel? I’ve researched some of the heavier Berger and Hornady bullets but they all seem to need a 1-10 or higher twist to be...

    100M .308 155 Lapua Scenars today, 44.7 Grains Vhit N540, 71mm COL. This is a very accurate rifle......I'm still a relative novice. It makes me feel unworthy when I get a flier.........

    I ordered it through Sporting Services in the UK. It was a factory order though and I had to wait about 20 weeks for it. We can’t get the official AI 6.5mm barrel in the UK though.

    Is anyone using the AI screw on moderator? It's expensive but I like the idea that it works with the muzzle brake and I will be able to move it between different barrels and calibres? I've not bought it as my bank account is just a smoking hole this month after buying the rifle but I would...

    Got it to the 100m range today to do barrel break in and zero. Shot this group once i got it zeroed......bear in mind I've got very limited experience but I was amazed by how consistent it seemed to be and how it soaks up the recoil.....

    Yes its a long action rifle but it will be supplied with the .308 conversion kit, instead of the .338 barrel when I receive it. I will still be able to upgrade it to .300 or .338 by buying the conversion kits when I'm ready.

    Accuracy International Picture Thread

    I went for the AXMC and ordered it with the .308 barrel with the intention to grow into the magnum calibres over time. It was a tough decision to justify the extra money over the SA but the deciding factor for me is that I have a 2 mile range recently opened within 85 miles of home. I also...
