Hey Gang!
Just wanted to share a couple pics of my new AIAE Mark III w/20" BBL. I don't know why I waited so long and built so many custom Rem 700 rigs 'til I purchased one of these - it's fantastic! I love the 3-lug action - it's smooth as silk and doesn't clink n' clang like a rattle-can when cycling. The 2-stage trigger is as good as any of the CG-Jackson triggers I've put on other rifles and it seems to like pretty much anything I put through it.
Here it is at Kenmore Gun Range in beautiful Western WA,... kind of a drizzly day, but that's par for the course this time of year.
Here's Range 1 at Kenmore. I was shooting at 100 & 300 yards - see the circles
Here's the left side.
My first group of the day at 100-yards,... Note the low cold-bore shot,... This was one-and-only as far as groups went at 100 today,...
This was the best 300-yard group of the day,... the winds were a little switchy with sudden gusts followed by a few seconds of dead-calm,... this is a tricky range in that regard,... but I'm pretty happy with this load albeit quite tame: 43.0gr Varget; 175gr SMK; Lapua Palma brass,... Out of this 20" barrel I figure it's shooting approximately 2500 fps... not a screamer, but it shoots.
I have a suppressor on order for it, but with ATF's current backlog I hear I shouldn't expect to see it 'til 2014
Oh well. Thanks for checking it out!
