    Tom said about the same as old AX, no definite numbers.

    New AI rifles...what do you think...will they set a new trend, follow some others???

    The new ax338 is configurable to 300wm and 308 according to the press release. Its basically the psr, except you buy the bolt+barrel seperately.

    New AI rifles...what do you think...will they set a new trend, follow some others???

    I'd trade my AE+some cash for any AI with a 308 + 22lr conversion in a heartbeat. Doubt it though ;)

    New AI rifles...what do you think...will they set a new trend, follow some others???

    That's exactly the time I get in to work. Don't imagine I'll get anything done the first few hours ;)

    Are Air rifles the pacifier or alternative to ammo availability & cost?

    Does anyone know what can be expected of the olympic grade air guns if you put a scope on it and shoot say 25-50 meters? Would even longer ranges be feasible compared to more powerful target grade PCP's, or could you boost the pressure some while still retaining its consistency?

    New AI rifles...what do you think...will they set a new trend, follow some others???

    Such a tease ;) Retiring the AW name is surprising though, but I'm sure the AT will be awesome.

    New AI rifles...what do you think...will they set a new trend, follow some others???

    I'm guessing it'll all be about modularity. Everything will have switch barrel capabilities. There will probably be a short action and a long action variant of what is now the PSR, but they will be available in non-kit form, so you can purchase bolts and barrels later. AW will continue to...

    Went to the range this morning

    Nice! We need more 10-shot groups: This one was for score, not just trying to shoot the smallest group, but trying to keep rounds in (or at least touching) the X-ring. Still just under moa though!

    Accuracy International Pics

    AI AE Mk3, 308 20". Received it half a year ago. Still very pleased with it. Really looking forward to the new AI unveil at Shot 2014. Might be a 300wm new-age AI in my future ;)

    What caliber change options are available on the AI .308 action with a barrel swap?

    If you don't need repeater capabilities you could go for something like a .284 or 6.5-284

    Which semi?

    This is sniperhide, so I assume you want accuracy. 16 midlenght or 18 rifle lenght ar15 with a good barrel and trigger + freefloat tube would be my choice. Alot is personal preference though. No experience with US brands, others can help with that.

    .300 Win Mag

    I'm pretty sure Sako is being sold in Australia. Maybe not your local dealer, but I'd certainly ask around for one. Beretta is the importer in Australia.

    Ideal caliber for 200-300 yard paper punching?

    besides the .223 and 6mmbr, perhaps consider 6.5x47 lapua 6mmbr probably will give best accuracy. it's what the benchresters use.

    What caliber to convert 308 to?

    The guys before me have probably handled the "which caliber" part. Personally I'd go with the .260 as well, for no other reason than the fact that Lapua makes brass for it. Performance is the same. I do disagree with one thought though: I put my money into the rifle I shoot the most...

    Accuracy vs Cost, Please Help

    Tikka t3 perhaps in that price range. That said, with factory rifles, you just have to get lucky. I know a rem 700p that shoots just as accurate as my AI AE, but there are plenty that barely shoot moa. I agree with the guys saying: save up. I did the same, I figured what I would do with a...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Time To Upgrade

    What isn't good on the P226 that you expect to be better on a $1000 pistol? In other words, define "upgrade". I understand wanting another gun just as well as the next guy, but you seem to want something "better" which is really subjective, and maybe even hard within $1000. 1911 trigger is...

    Typical number of rounds you shoot on range day

    I don't do range days. I go for 1-2 hours a week. I shoot my 308, and shoot 50 rounds. (100m range, couple minutes from my door) I plan on changing this to 30 rounds, and shooting my .22 after that until I'm bored. Then I also go once more every week to train IPSC. Round count about 150. Next...

    Should I sell everything I own for a DTA!?!?!?

    Agreed, don't sell your other stuff unless you would still own one of each category. (ps. I've never seen or used a DTA, so no advise there. AI all the way for me.) Preferably everyone should own: - .22 rifle (I'd go for a bolt-gun though, for reliability) - handgun - semi-auto rifle -...
