Accuracy International Picture Thread

Shot some 300/600 at Quantico on Saturday and then 800/1000 on Sunday.

Saturday at the 600y line:

Dialed in at 1,000 with the Prime 130:

Not to hijack the thread but I saw a few examples and wanted to know, what's the minimum barrel length you can put on an AX308 with it';s standard hand guard? 16, 18...?

16” for standard AX308

I have a 15.5” handguard from a standard AXMC on my AX308 and 18” is as short as it’ll go for it.

 

[sjc929]

@OverWatching my 16” barrel stuck about 1” past the forend on my AX

Out at the Snipers Hide Team Challenge this weekend with @Alaskashooter As expected, tons of tripod shooting, and even more laughs and good times.

Well, I did my first PRS pro series match this weekend. I held my own. First match ever, I scored 8/100 points, this match I scored 92/200.

AT worked flawlessly, except for me ramming a mag in at 100mph, and causing a double feed on the first stage.

I removed the paint off my AW. I used Acetone and Citristrip. I couldn't be more happy with it, I have never really been a fan of the black skins on AIs but it is growing on me and looks real slick. It took about 8 hours total but I was very thorough and made sure to get every little nook and and cranny both outside and below the skin.

I'm impressed how well that all came off, nice job!

 

[USMC mustang]

I've only used Tab Gear rear bag as a front bag during comps until today. I knew it wasn't ideal but it got the job done. Finally decided to get a real front bag and got the pint sized GC and used it for the 1st time today during a match. Huge improvement not surprisingly. It's not too big but it's very solid. View attachment 7099771View attachment 7099772View attachment 7099773

Agreed, the pint sized game changer is easily my favorite bag. Not only is it a great front bag but I also use it as a rear bag.

[jmar]

Thanks for the compliments everyone. I am happy to be done with it, sniffing Acetone for 8 hours probably didn't add any years to my life. But it was worth it. I too was worried on how good it would look and I thought there would be no way to get it all off but it wasn't too hard just time consuming. If you ever need to do this I recommend a toothbrush with the bristles cut off with scissors so they are really short and a pack of Q-tips. Really helps get the spots that are hard to reach and stubborn. Anyways, managed to get one more beauty shot before the sun went down.

Some of you are amazing photographers. Make my shots of a rifle on a table look like crap. Well, I have a brand new AX308 coming in elite sand next week. I'll try to live up to this benchmark!

 

[OverWatching]

Maybe Spuhr will offer this to the commercial market in the future...

What is this, it's looks great?

 

[sjc929]

Got my 6BR barrel in from Whidden and shot it today. It’s a 26” heavy palma gain twist (1:7.7”-1:7”) barrel I had chambered for the 105 hybrids. I made up a random load with 29 gr Varget and 95 gr TMK to shoot first while I wait for some components to come in. It shot decently, starting at around .6 and .7” groups, and then started closing in and being around .4s after about 25 rounds. The zero was a full 1.5 mil left of my Proof 6.5x47 barrel, which was odd but not a big deal. It fed perfectly, I just dropped the HRD kit into my spare mag with no modifications. The next time the weather gets bad I’ll probably spray paint the barrel. Really enjoying the 6BR so far, and I’m really looking forward to playing with the hybrids.

Burning up the last few rounds of M118LR for a bit anticipating a shipment of 185 Jugs from McCourt tomorrow and a rezero session.

I’ve read on here the FGMM jug is a great round. I have a couple boxes to try. I hope they work well out of my 1:12 barrel.

 

[Kbh]

Yep, FGMM 185 juggernaut. Probably a little luck involved there but they were well under 1/2 moa at 550 also.

 

[Badfinger]

The 155, 168, and the 175 shot very well from my 1:12 AiAT barrel the 185 is probably pushing it a little but worth a try.

 

[kujuak]

Berger 185 Juggernauts, Lapua small Primer brass, Varget powder, my AI's shoot subMOA out to 600 yes, and for a guy born in the first half of the last century that is good enough for government work

 

[Sniperstud]

Finally got around to trying out my 300 WM barrel on my AXMC. (It’s set up for .308 in this pic) If the past two range days are an indication, it may be the best shooter I have. I’ve only shot factory loads so far. Hornady 178 gr. ELD Match the first day, and Hornady 200 gr. Precision Hunter the second. Only shot one five round group to establish point of impact for each, then shot the remainder on steel.

 

[Gar.]

Nice looking/ shooting rifle there! Hay, just curious what length cleaning rod one uses with an AXMC and a .338 AI 27” barrel?

[Defender3]

Off with the 6.5CM and on with the Proof CF in .260, along with a Dead Air brake. Once the rocksett dries, it will get a Sandman-L.

Thanks. Depending on the length of your muzzle brake, and how much your bore guide protrudes from the rear of the receiver, I’d use either a 40” or 44” Dewey coated rod. Others may prefer other brands, but you want your rod to be long enough for the jag, brush, etc, to fully protrude from the muzzle. I like my rods long enough so that when the jag fully exits the brake, the rod handle is well to the rear of the scope cap, so I don’t bang my hand up. A 44” Dewey is what I use in my AXMC with a 26” barrel. YMMV

Just a few photos of our PRS Australia match the Delta Tactical Steelpocolypse from this last weekend down here near Melbourne. It was very very wet and windy.

Good to know. So a 44” Dewey should work with an AI AXMC 27” barrel. Thanks!

Always have been. Always will be. We are just limited. Having an AI is enough for me for now. Of course i would want more though. But thats a story for another thread.

Tried the new Proof CF in 260. Shot really well and preferred the 142gr FGMM and the Berger 136gr Lapua Scenars.

Temp strip doing it's job.

I finally joined the AI club with a new to me AIAT in 6.5 Creed a few months ago. It’ll come as no surprise to anyone here, but this is the best investment in a rifle system that I have ever made.

RRS BAI-AT2

I had the 1st gen blocky type RRS AT rail for my tripod and my bipod on a spigot. Liked it, but much prefer converting everything to Arca. Even if it means my rifle sits a bit higher on the bipod.

I finally got part 28340 (308 bolt assembly w/ small firing pin) in and I plan to go shoot it this weekend with a new 6.5cm barrel that I ordered along w/ it.

Pics attached in case anyone is curious about the smaller pin hole (left is 308, right is 300wm)

BTW, side by side, I’m just noticing how beat up my 300wm bolt is compared to the brand new bolt.

Anything I’m doing wrong here? I only use a light coat of CLP on the bolt.

Mine looks similar, I think they just begin to look like that with use. I use just a little bit of Hoppes #9 Gun Grease.
