Re: Accuracy International at SHOT 2010
Ts1: Right now, we have not completely worked out all the finals, hence the specs and pricing not listed and/or released. As soon as I get all this completed, I will post and we are discussing several options so hand in there, thanks.
Walsh: We have not listed the spec's or pricing yet, as discussed prior we are working on it and will release asap, thanks.
PadronAniversary: Everyone is really getting to carried away on this thread and jumping to conclusions. The AW is still being produced, not to confuse the long magnum (AWSM and AWM) action with the short action. The MAGNUM action is directly being replaced by the AX Magnum as discussed from Shot Show. The short action AW which can and will be updated to the AX series design is EXACTLY the same receiver as now, same parts only the chassis will change. AI will and has continued to support as stated the "Legacy" models for as long as required.
dagger: Well that is exactly what we discussed and our concern was due to the "price point". From what we have seen and learned, it appears to be a highly desirable upgrade long over due and we are working on it now.
BasraBoy: Correct and to other above your comments. Again, the AW will be supported, upgrades and new models are destined to come, don't get carried away here, its an AI, not going anywhere anytime soon.
SSG3K: Keep dreaming and just don't hold your breath, lol.
So in closing here is what I understand and have been relaying:
-AE: we are offering more calibers, barrel options, the rear mono-pod/butt spike option and the all new Covert model. This series will remain in the legacy skins, not to be upgraded to the newer "AX" modular system.
-AW: SHORT action models have not changed, still the same action, parts and are 100% interchangeable with the newer short action "AX" modular series when it becomes available. The only foreseeable changes will be the updated "chassis" and a possible change to the magazine for this chassis.
-AWM/AWSM: LONG MAGNUM action WILL be replaced by the AX series when released to production. The AX is a completely new action, bolt and parts within, not interchangeable with the older model and a completely new chassis. The older "Legacy AWM/AWSM" actions/weapons will be supported due to military contracts and simply said our other customers as well.
I hope this helps rest many questions and please remember, we will be releasing the spec's and data on all the new products as soon as I have them and able to post. We are just getting back from Shot, have many things to do and now to catch up, thanks for all the support.
