Accuracy International Picture Thread

So you don't know.

Got it.

Thank you.

Depends on the round used, the friction of the barrel, and the thermodynamic characteristics of that barrel. No one can given an answer. Just start writing down speeds over time. Ultimately, there should be a change as a new barrel "breaks in and settles down" no diferent than the horsepower of a car when first built versus the power of that car after the engine is broken in. Don't think anyone is really going to give you a better answer. Give it a couple hundred rounds and see what happens.

 

[JR1200W3]

You could just shoot 6.5 and use Strelok like the smart people do


Instead of pondering Sonics and other nonsensical bs

Very true. I only know this shit from a past life. My personal shooting these days doesn't have me anywhere close to having to Cal DSF and subsonic. I shoot hair bun 6 Dasher in PRS and field matches. I have a 308 barrel for my AI but it's just for fuck around And I don't shoot factory slow -08 175s in it.

AI doesn’t just make you a great shooter,
It also makes you a pretentious Ballistic professor!
C’mon we all know what happens when you own one.

Nah man, true AI shooters are pony-tail bro dudes that just "send it" take their barrels off with a crescent wrench and sledgehammer. Just look at Jacob bynum and husky driver

Gunsmithing - Is torque wrench mandatory for barrel swap

I’m getting a fixed shoulder prefit for my tikka, I’ve got an action wrench but not an internal action wrench. Am I safe to just use the external action wrench to tighten the action on? I’ve done a lot of work on vehicles/equipment and have a fairly good idea to be “close” to let’s say, 80 ft...

so back on topic please.

Bro, we're trying to nerd out over here on some super serious high brow theoretical ballistic shit; super important high end stuff! ....and you're butting in with some mouth-breathing day 1 shit like, "Do barrels speed up?".

View attachment 8506879

My bad.

I left out the word when.

As such, I shall new rephrase:

“When (as in round count) do the AI UK barrels in 308 begin to speed up?”

That should do it.

I’d say 100-200
Seen some barrels as quick as 80

24 or 26" barrel? Hella gorgeous AW. Loving the Parker Hale bipod on it... I ought to grab one some day. What's the scope? I don't recognize it.

 

[JackOfAllTrades]

Also you could just be shooting slow ammo, unless you know the speeds out of another barrel

 

[HKSniper11B]

Mohawks are an option too. I chose the latter. I'll make this photo a one time thing.

Someone enlighten me on that mount height and cant choice. Seems.. excessive.

I saw this rifle mentioned a couple of weeks ago here:

Germany's New HK416 Service Rifles Appear At Panama Test Site

Germany's evaluation of new G95-series rifles in Panama and Arizona follows reports it scaled back or even skipped key testing initially.

www.twz.com

And then found this:

New Scharfschützengewehr G22A2 Sniper Rifle | Joint Forces News

The first of 780 Scharfschützengewehr G22A2 sniper rifles in .300 Winchester Magnum calibre were recently fielded by the German Armed Forces.

Makes me wonder what clip-ons they’ll employ. Really limits the options if that was a consideration. Midwave can accommodate the different cant angles, but not as easily done with long wave. I2 is less of a problem.

They are just victims of the system.
Probably did that so no matter what clip on they use or have access to, or future procurement, will all fit

We should ask Germans to send us the AWM skins.
The G22A2 is an AWM in the AXMC-style chassis.

Did you buy that rifle from Rex? That’s one of the first 5 Accuracy Obsession chassis prototypes I made.

Has anyone tried this ammo out of their AI’s?
Makes more sense for training and positional work spending less than a buck per round.

Nah if you use 308 you wake up trans next morning

 

[FUNCTIONAL]

Took the little lady out on a date and had a mk12's maiden voyage. She loves the clone m118lr and 168fgmm.

Also, got data on 168 gr loads from a 16" barrel for those wondering from before.
Hornady black amax: 2508, 17.8es, 7.3sd
Hornady match eldm: 2517, 34.1es, 15.1sd
Fgmm: 2442, 37.2es, 12.8sd

Really need to take more esthetically pleasing photos one day.

Why do Germans always have the sickest drip? I mean take the insignias out of the picture (to be politically correct so nobody gets a hard on me this evening), since ww1, you know…

That would be a badass statement if 308's did win matches.

Best I ever did was 3rd overall with a 308....a m40a5 clone no less AND I had a pulmonary embolism right after the awards. So really...I won.

 

[Huskydriver]

It's not just PRS. When I shoot AR tactical matches or certain divisions of USPSA I will use 40rd Magpul mags or big stick 2011 mags. It's just a competition. It's not combat.

Yea it's pretty weak sauce honestly... Why stop at 40? Why not 100?

 

[Vivacious Stallion]

Intel on that bag rider?

It's the MKM prototype they teased a couple years back.

 

[JackOfAllTrades]

That would be a badass statement if 308's did win matches.

I haven’t even tried (PRS specifically)
My old man has though. It was a cool moment.

Seen it happen 2-3 times

 

[samb300]

I want to know, what's the upgrade over the new model?

The production version has a longer forend with a different mounting type for the NV bridge, and a different internal weight.
