Accuracy International Picture Thread

[stanley_white]

When I asked the Irish Snipers at the International Sniper Competition at Fort Moore about what they did with their own AI Arctic Warfares, they flat out said, "...they never break."

They've had the same bolt assemblies, the same firing pins, even the original barrels, on their rifles, for almost 30 years. And after all this time, they're still competitive. It absolutely blew my mind hearing this.

I honestly had the same question for them, about what breaks and what you should have parts for, which is how I learned of this. That said, I don't think I've seen or heard of any AI AT308 or AW breaking.

I'm all ears for counter responses and examples of anything breaking and needing replacement though.

Update: this very much reflects using .308 exclusively. As @taliv has pointed out below.

Wow!

Thank you!

Looks like the AT-XC in the MIL-LE MLOK config. Also has an AXSR butt stock.

How was the match? I got the chance to shoot a regional match there last year and was blown away at the facility, and Eric is a super nice guy.

Was an awesome event. Surprised it wasnt more full. Eric is awesome and the venue was very fun to shoot at. Had some good wind on day 2 and lots of moon dust slowing rifles down, AI didnt miss a beat!

 

[The Durk]

Going from an AT to an AT-X is night and day different. Can’t wait to start shooting some team matches.

 

[Dr. Strangeglove]

I agree, my AT was great but the AT-X really gets it done in .308

The AXMC is the '04 Dodge Ram 2500 with all the emissions taken off and a set of truck nuts. When it was made as a long action it got a barb wire tattoo and then when it knocked up some temporarily cute but slutty, chubby girl (always destined to blow up) at the drive in movie theater AI made it with mag adapter kits to take care of all it's little bastard short action kids.

At least it isn’t a white wrangler or f150

Does anyone here know why AW mags have suddenly gone sky high in price and seem to be constantly sold out? Did they stop making them or something?

 

[Bacarrat]

AICS people have finally seen the light and now know what the master mag is.

Hopefully not off topic here,are the AI axsa’s discontinued?

 

[jbuck88]

Yes

Maybe the new ARC action getting more people into AW cuts? Maybe more people realizing the AT is the way and the light?

 

[Shoots 700's]

Yes

Makes sense as its the Short action only version of the AXMC

 

[utahn801]

 

[Scotch_egg]

AI have designated an AT-XM for military and Law Enforcement only.

The AX308 as it was officially known has been discontinued for this reason. It makes sense for production purposes.

Same. …I just wished it had fit my AXSR w/ ATACR folded stock down. Haven’t tried with the ZCO mounted yet. Might end up replacing it with one of those hunting packs with a meat shelf (aka rifle section lol).

I usually just load the pack with stuff and sling the rifle. I put the tripod and spotter in the rifle scabbard

Yea that’s how I run it now. Once the tripod is out, the scabbard is used for water bottles and gatorades at matches.

Side note, the front admin sleeve fits the coletac match book binder thing perfectly

I thought so. Looks like the newer versions don't have the shelf anymore. I've been cycling through packs and haven't found anything I like for matches. I've had a couple of work mates that have your pack and it always seemed well thought out.

Does the bottom shelf help it sit upright? Does it seem to protect items in the pack? Do you use the pack without the top lid?

The bottom shelf lets it sit upright if you have loaded it evenly. I've never had anything break when using the pack. It really is versatile.

I run a kifaru 22 mag or Stryker xl... Love the kifaru suspension system. My close 2nd would be a exo mountain k3 or k4

 

[JR1200W3]

The problem I keep having is I just don't need that much at a match. And I hate when the inside of the pack becomes a large dump pouch. I like the way some of the eberlestock packs suitcase open when you lay them on their fronts and everything is accessible. But I only need about a 20-25 liter sized pack to carry a layer, 100rd ammo box, Fix-It sticks, Xero, spare mag, etc. I ended up putting a large puff pillow that I didn't need and never use in the bottom of my current pack just to fill the space and keep the stuff I did need on top. If Eberlestock had a mid section divider for the gunslinger that separated the bottom of the back from the top it would be pretty handy. Jacket, lunch, and shooting mat at the bottom. Then the shit you pull out every stage on the top. Delicates like the Xero and binos in padded pouches attached to the interior.

The frame is awesome because yea the L (shelf) to it keeps it upright at matches and kind of protects items you might have in there.

I always keep my PSGC and X-Wing at the bottom so everything else at least has them as buffers but the frame also carries weight really well. I like that it stands upright so when I’m at my tripod spotting, I can just reach down and easily grab stuff. Also helps if you’re field shooting and want some rear underarm support or front support. …and allows for a solid cable locking point if someone tries to do a smash and grab while grabbing food.

The lid doesn’t come off of the pack though, in this pic it’s just tucked into the main compartment.

I think the LoDrag has that middle divider, but yea if the GS2 had one it would be nice. Or even if the internal was all just that lightweight laser cut stuff.

true. …but I live in the middle of nowhere southern AZ next to the fence so it would have to be mailed off and it isn’t that big of a deal really. But if I ever move back to a place near a large base, then that’s an easy task.
