Accuracy International Picture Thread

Oil, like this, works the best

I used to play this PC game called Arma a bunch, and with the right mods enabled it has fairly realistic ballistics. To get accurate hits with all the realism mods enabled you have to use real world equipment like Kestrels and range finders in realistic ways ... e.g. you have to hold your Kestrel into the wind to get accurate readings and the wind shifts with terrain and ever changing weather. You can even catch trace in your optic under the right circumstances and you have breath control, wobble and all that to deal with as well. With a little bit of tinkering in the mission editor you can turn it into a fun little wind call trainer for a variety of reticles and with the right mods you can even run an AI AXMC in .308, .338LM or .300WM ... figured y'all might get a chuckle out of this.

What the heck do you do that gives you the time to burn 260 rounds a week!?
I compete with it every month and then hit the range at least once a week if I can.

Desert all around with spots to shoot within 30-45 mins or a 500yd range 15 mins from my door. So it makes it easy,

Which you’d think I’d be a lot better than I am with that many rounds fired 😂😂😂🤔🤔🤔🥲🥲☹️☹️☹️😢😢😢
 
I am offended...

I am now going to home and shoot off my porch with all sorts of guns that I wouldn't have if my wife wasn't worth a shitload of money... :D
Maybe if my wife wasn’t such a shitbag we’d already have a house on 200 acres in the mountains. But nooooooooooooooooo

It sucks at times. I have to go mow her lawn, and take care of her cattle, and even help her manage her vet clinic. Etc...

She even made me go to college for 7 years.

"A lot of people go to college for seven years."

"I know, they're called doctors." (I'm not).

Wait... Is everyone else in this thread also sponsored by their wives? Should we have patches and membership cards made?

I knew when mine bought me a No. 4 Mk 1 (T), that she was "the one".

Actually, she put her foot down for the first time three days ago on my buying a Barrett MRAD in 300NM. Probably was looking out for my best interest because she doesn't want me associating with kids from 'that side of the railroad tracks'.
 
Ok but I want my wife's rank on the back above the number. I need to be addressed properly.
"TTH" (Team Trophy Husbands)

Underneath it can have "MBTY" (Mine's Bigger Than Yours).

Because mine sure didn't marry me for my face, charm, or ability to string together coherent sentences.
…let’s move this to a private message group so that way the non-sponsored plebs in this thread stop getting to see how sponsored royalty lives.

Does she have a sister?

Not asking for a friend...:)
 
Hi guys. Just thought I'd post a pic of mine. It's actually a .243 Remington 700 action and barrel on an AI chassis. Timney 2 stage trigger. Wildcat predator 12 mod. Alas B10 bipod.
It's topped with a Hik Alpex A50E day/night scope and Weaver mounts.

You and @BurtG could start your own thread…😁

The official “Not an AI pic thread”
 
Other than the barrel have you noticed any wear on anything? Broken any parts?
Only damaged items were two of my three 308 mag baseplates. They cracked while doing a mag change (over concrete) at a match. I glued and taped them together so they’re really solid now 😂 MH ordered some spare plates so I’m waiting on those to come in.

Other than that, zero issues.

Wait no, I had a retaining pin of one of the QD levels for the cheek piece keep wiggling loose at like round 100. Little drop of super glue and never had movement since.

Everything is inspected before and after each range trip and then every ~6 months I tear it completely apart for a full cleaning/look over…or if it’s super dirty/muddy.

…and I just put my ZCO order in so it’s about to get new glass.

Abandoning the NF….🥺

I love my ZCO. But I also love my 7-35 atacr

I love my 735 Mil-XT too (...despite what Mr. Judgey McJudgerson @Huskydriver spews from his high castle of anti-NF snobbery)... So the wife got me a trigger cam for Christmas and has been asking me to record matches. Obviously I have been sayin I can't with the NF cause I can't let her see (AGAIN) how shitty I do at matches (other than the PractiScore results) after spending ALL OF THE MONEY on the AXSR.

So then she's like "well can't you get another scope that will work with it?" I said it would be X amount more. She said ok. ....Calling my bluff like a mother fucking smart beautiful woman who I love more than anything... #ShesAlwaysWatchingAndProbablyHasAnAccountHereJustToWatchMySpendingAndMatchResults
So I planned to get the SB 636 with the new tree reticle. Then someone said the ocular is larger and won't fit. Then the TT735 is apparently way bigger (based on their spec sheet). So I said "well the ZCO can work." she said ok cool.

So here I am. ZCO 10MIL NLE MPCT2X is on its way from MH. ...as is the Badger C1 Max because A419 is out of stock and I need this for the weekend.

I'll end up selling my MWS and M14 to fund this. I don't have the time to shoot them because I can't break away from the AI. ....regardless of my 260+rds a week or 20rds a week ahahhahahahaha

I’ll say you do have the most legit reason to own the ZCO! Gotta keep the wife happy 😃 Both are legit optics obviously. You will appreciate the non rotating ocular. I have a triggercam as well. I use my stuff mainly for hunting. I’d zoom in or out with the triggercam on. But shoot on one specific magnification to keep the camera level. Kind of a PITA

Hey boys,
I think I’ve gotten every shade of FDE represented now! Lol
I sourced a RAL8000 Schmidt with the reticle (GR2ID) I really wanted for PRS from a member here on the Hide. My old 5-25 with a P4F was tough for wind holds.

Can’t wait to zero it and shoot a match next month. 🤙

Hell yea man. I mean not about the color but getting out and running it at a match. I mean we all can’t be #ElitistSandPeople but your heart is in the right place 😘

Jk she’s purdy.
Fun fact, if you cut out the PRST’s center column and secure the plate, it takes A MASSIVE amount of slop out, even with a traditional ballhead. Did it to mine and stiffened it up a lot more. Nowhere near an RRS level of stability but 100% more than the factory PRST.

I'm just happy to learn I'm not the only one who's hashtagwifesponsored.

Haha it’s pretty legit. Yea I tried using the TC on a few range trips now but constant canted image just from turning it on let alone moving through positions. The slightest touch moves it. So I’m pretty stoked about the ZCO. I’ll actually be able to do a side by side and get actual first hand knowledge on which is better vs having the internet tell me.

Spoiled husbands are still husbands.

No worries. I can take pics (or find my old ones) if you want. Shoot me a DM and I can squeeze some time in to send em this week. …in between rage quitting my job and applying for others

I compared my 527 and 735 side by side here in low light. ZCO edges the NF. I also threw an Arken EP5 into the mix as well
