Accuracy International Picture Thread

Well I guess I finally get to post in here. Followed some advice I'd seen from other members and sold off my AX and AT chassis for a pre-14 AX in 6.5 cm here on the Hide. This will be my hunting setup and hopefully PRS setup in 2024.

I'm going to slum it up for a little while with my old school NXS 3.5-15 with NP-R2 reticle while I figure out a new optic.

Anyone have any pictures of an AX wearing an NX8? Particularly the 2.5-20.

I want to try 6BR in my at-x next summer
BR and wildcats a great. Go for it and don't be put off by possible feeding challenges.

I had nothing but problems with AW mags (tried all 9) with HRD spacer kits and Lapua 6BR brass with 108ELDM. Probably an 80% stoppage rate (At least one stoppage out of each magazine, generally towards the last few when spring tension was easing off). It was amazingly accurate, easy to shoot but feeding from double stack mags didn't work.

This mirrors my experience, which was funny because someone at the range would hand me their AW HRD mag and it would run 100%. I ended up rednecking an anti tilt tail onto the HRD follower and that worked but I moved to 6CM for better feeding. I’ll probably go back to BRA after I run out of CM barrels in the safe next year.
 
Now that factory Dasher brass exists there isn't much point in shooting a BR anymore. The slight extra case capacity allows you to shoot 4350 instead of Varget which is nice.
I used to think that till I tried a BR, although a 22 BRA. The BR case is even more forgiving than the Dasher. Every Varget load I've tried has been single digit SDs and half inch or so groups. And that's fireforming or shooting formed cases. I'd expect a straight 6 BR to have that BR magic.

With that said I do like the added performance in a 6mm that the Dasher has so I'm not moving away from my 6 Dasher anytime soon.

Got another bolt for the AT.

What bolt face diameter conversion should I get?

I’ve already got 308, 6.5CM, 6CM and 22CM barrels.

I own 223AI and 224V bolt guns already and I run bolt gun I own on the thousand yard range at Quantico.
I went with 0.535" to run short action magnums. And based on what you have it sounds like a good fit for you also. I've started with 6.5 PRC but also have everything needed to have a barrel cut for 7SS as well. Accurate Mag WSM mags have worked perfectly for me. Fritz at Black Canyon Customs did the bolt work for me and I'd recommend him.

Did you have a 308 bolt face opened up by Fritz?
 
Yes, I bought a spare 308 bolt assembly and Fritz opened it up. Mag bolt on the far left, I'm running 6.5 PRC in my AT-X.

I'll have to see if I can find another LH 308 bolt and do the same. I want a 6.5 PRC for my AXMC. Already have the blank. Been waiting for a year for an LH 300 WM bolt and unlikely I will get one. An LH 308 may be easier to get. I can always take the 308 bolt that I have an convert it. I can shoot 308 and 6.5 Creedmoor out of my AT

Bad luck on being left handed :ROFLMAO:

My secret trick to sourcing a spare bolt is to pay in full on a back order then wait 14 months and one day it showed up. :rolleyes:
 
I think I came across your YouTube channel yesterday. Recognize the rifle. Awesome rig
Thanks 🙂 hope you subscribed 😅

Only reason I started the channel was because when I was trying to find out how to shoot PRS in the UK about 2 years ago there wasn't much to find.. less than a year on I've got sponsors and brand affiliations so all going really well!

I haven’t yet but I will. Every once and a while I come across AI’s on YouTube or the AI facebook page then recognize them from this thread

I have an ATX I ordered a vertical mdt grip for. Hopefully be here tomorrow

I'm probably going to get an MDT Elite Grip soon too.

Yes I spent hours trawling through every page of this thread when I signed up looking at everyone's AIs 😅
 
I still don’t understand how this happened? Drugs, dating liberals? What gives
It involved siamese twin nuns ⛪️, Viktor Orbán 🇭🇺 , one coconut 🥥, ice-making schemes on the Mosquito Coast 🧊, 37DD tits 👙, a tri-hull catamaran ⛵️, and a tiny pair of men’s gold lamé thongs 🍆.

Other than that I don’t know.
