Accuracy International Picture Thread

[The Durk]

Added a Vortex Impact 4000. I get to test it out to 1260 next weekend. I hope it rains so I get some realistic expectations of this rangefinder. At 1/5 the price of a Wilcox I’m expecting 1/5 the effective range.

I’m not sure if I’m using too long of a screwdriver but the “clicks” for zeroing are hyper mushy. Sometimes I can feel them sometimes I can’t.

 

[taliv]

Unless the Wilcox can reliably do 10,000 yards, I think the vortex is going to exceed your expectations

 

[SFree]

Correct…the MKIII was the first to get the AW style bolt.


It was also my first AI as I wanted the 3 position safety.

Arguably, the slickest action and by far, the best trigger AI has ever offered…. Another stupid idea I had to let it go

 

[Lucky Se7en]

Interesting how the skins are the old style 1-piece front ends though. I had assumed the MKIII was produced with the newer 2-piece versions almost similar to what you see on the AT’s. It is possible the skins were swapped though.

[FUNCTIONAL]

Got out today... first time in months thanks to the birth of my son (not crotchety about it). Bit rusty, took the AT out configured in 20" 308 gentleman (suppressed). Also took my Xm3 and Sako TRG22a1 to decide their fate (Commodus gave them a thumbs down).

Anyway something I was able to do is compare 308 barrel lengths to the same velocity. Unfortunately it's 3 different barrel brands and 3 different chambers. Still, interesting results.
Barrels were 18.5", 20" and 26", excuse my shooting....its embarrassing.

30-50fps faster in an 18.5" compared to the 20". Both were suppressed (18.5 w/ fa762ss, 20" with omega 300). The 18.5" has a tighter match chamber compared to whatever AI puts in their barrels and round count is close enough to not matter.

Another thing that's interesting is the left and middle are same brass, bullet, powder, charge weight and the only difference is the primer. CCI standard in the "old m118lr" and Ginex in the "new m118lr". Speed is better as well as es/SD. I had thought Ginex was the generic name of CCI but I'm second guessing that info.

 

[diggler1833]

Managed to get a few rounds in today as well.

Talk about a disparity between groups. Shot my factory 6.5 CM barrel that I was bitching about the copper fouling in today. Just one box of factory 140 ELD-M so I could use it up. It averaged ~2/3 MOA for 4x5 when I shot it last year with the same ammo...but was wearing a Hellfire brake then. I left the end of the barrel bare today.

Two shots to get a rough zero, and then the next 5 went into .4". I was pretty stoked, so I brought out the chronograph as I was letting the barrel cool. Next group of 5 went into damn near MOA with an ES of 90! But it had one round that read 77 FPS high, so I loaded my last 8 and shot the group on the left. Look at that badass ES and SD.

Looked at what i wrote on the box of factory 140 ELD-M that I shot a year ago...2,671 FPS, ES - 102, SD - 44.

LOL, no wonder the Hornady guys don't trust small sample sizes. They're shooting their own stuff.

I think there is some potential here for loads that weren't constructed by Hellen Keller.

You should just send me that rifle since it’s a turd

 

[diggler1833]

The rifle is just fine. This particular barrel is somewhat questionable as it holds more copper than a meth head's side yard. However with ES at 81, 90, and 102 for the three groups I've shot over the chronograph... It might end up being a hammer if I can get it to smooth out. Round count is 78 now.

Go start an OF page. I've made almost four dollars now selling photos of my leather cheerio in just 8 months. Some guy named "Dan" apparently can't get enough of them.

Low key installed my 26” 6cm barrel i got off EO; of course painted first.

That was my whole AI / shooting related activity this weekend. Oh, also put my 20moa action rail and corresponding long handguard rail on PX, if anyone wants those.

 

[BurtG]

Was a GAP / defiance I bought around 2007 I think. Was never very smooth. Was very accurate.

Never shot it after I bought AXSA

Wow moa scope that must be 2007

Does anyone have an accurate weight on hand for an AT-X plus scope?

Basically I'm wondering if it's possible to compete in NRL Hunter matches with an AT-X or XC (I don't have one) and stay under the 16lbs requirement? Maybe an AT-X with carbon fiber barrel will do the trick?

I only have an AXMC at the moment and that isn't even close to making under weight.

Thanks for the help as always.

I finally got around to testing the quick change barrel on my ATX last weekend. I know this is nothing new to long time AI users but I was impressed with the ease and repeatability.

180 rds total down the 6mm CM barrel and only have 20 on the 308 barrel.

Hornady Match 108g 6mm CM
Federal Gold Medal 175g 308

Lower left is the 6mm zero straight. Lower right is my POA and 308 zero. The top and middle targets were shot after changing barrels between groups to check the return to zero.

I color coded the zero marks on my Razor 6-36 Ltec dial. Red is the for the 6cm and green is for the 308. This is what I dialed for the return to zero check for the elevation. I just dialed the windage adjustment.

 

[diggler1833]

Nice to see a fellow AT-X user going the route of the EuroOptic exclusive black G3 Razor.

Now I won't be the only one getting hassled for my choice of optic.

[CollarChoke]

Slapped together a little bit of HTML to generate random stages for use with the DFAT, pretty neat dry fire setup for us city dwellers. On refresh it generates a list of random ranges and wind values for each possible DFAT target and then suggests a randomly ordered "stage" for those targets.

A mint ‘69 Camaro will fetch far more than a brand new one, but Chevrolet isn’t going to reissue them. Like any manufacturer they’re moving on. The legacy products bring higher prices BECAUSE they aren’t produced anymore and certain buyers will pay for them, but if they were still in production the price would be much lower, and with no innovation- less in demand.

New optic has been acquired...

It's more green in person believe it or not and goes extremely well with the Elite Sand on my AI. Big shout out to @MNTC for getting me set up with this Coyote Tangent!

How do we feel about a 5-20 US on the 308 AT (with an appropriate height mount). Or I just leave the Gen2 Razor on it - musical scopes going on atm.

Danny I need to see this in person mate. She's a beaut

The light isn't needed but I find it helps with clarity. This is a scope add-on that shrinks down your objective size so it works at very close distances (10-15ft) and it comes with a bunch of mini "ranges" for dry fire practice: https://dstprecision.net/index.html

 

[Nik H]

Yes

I have the RRS on my other one. Trying to decide if I should run it or cut the rail and add a picatinny spigot like my green one
View attachment 8479800

I have the Elite Iron picatinny spigot on my AT and the RRS ARCA rail on my AT. Nice to have both

I have the Elite Iron picatinny spigot on my AT and the RRS ARCA rail on my AT. Nice to have both

I cut the rail above at the end of the forend. I use the Arca for my tripod. I’ll be putting the same Anarchy picatinny spigot on this one that’s on my other AT

My green AT has RRS Arca and anarchy pic spigot

This one will have the sawtooth Arca and anarchy pic spigot set up the same way

 

[Doctorwho1138]

I ordered an extra set of AT green folding skins through UK sporting services. Not sure when they are going to arrive but I am also going to cut them before I send them out to cerakote in AI green that matches my AW. I also ordered a accushot monopod that I will be using as a bag rider. What are people using to cut the skins? A dremel tool or a hacksaw? Appreciate the advice and thanks in advance.

 

[Dr. Strangeglove]

A bench jigsaw worked well for mine but I was just cutting them to fit on the folder, not doing the monopod cut.

An AT-X with no bridges or bipod and only a clean 24” medium palma barrel with a Vortex Golden Eagle and about 9 ounces of scope mount plus a steel sling mount is weighing in at 14.5 pounds for me.

I just used whatever blade it came with, I think it's a Hitachi. put the blade speed as high as it would go and went slowly.

Are you kidding? SB over japanese every freaking time brah.... Tbh the 520 us is probably one of the most versatile badass scopes ever made with dtii turrets. Image isn't as great obviously as a full size scope but the size to performance is hard to beat. I doubt I will ever sell my 520s

I used a dremel with a cutting wheel. I just cut it pretty close, then used a file and finished it with a very small fine file. Looks just as good the original skins.

And I'm no pro with that Drexel, I've only used it maybe 5 times before. As long as you are decently mechanically inclined, you'll do fine. Just take your time.

Definitely needs to be shorter but I like short barrels for my use. It wonder if that part of the chassis is available or if it is interchangeable with the r700 short forend
