Challenging but fun, and by the end of the day I had peppered that 1000 steel with about a dozen hits.

Initially I had some mirage to read off of, but that went away later in the day, I was getting clouds rolling in and out, and at the muzzle the wind was going from a gentle breeze to 15 MPH gusts, at 500 yards there was a full value 8 - 15 MPH wind, and at about 800 yards to 1000 yards was a turbulent eddy of air thanks to the berm layout.
Once we got the dope situated the wind proved to be the deciding factor in how reliable of a hit count we were going to get. I wanted to push the rifle out to where it would really shine. reading wind is everything.įrom there we pushed it out to 1000 yards, skipping the 750 yard steel. The winds were beating the crap out of me, and as anyone that shoots long range knows. With a 100 yard zero it took two shots to get a hit at 500 yards with my first shot hitting a 1/4 mil left. The gun was in it's environment with this kind of a setting and proved to be a very viable option for the long-range game. They have steel situated between 250, 500, 750, and 1000 yards. On day two I took the rifle out to the local rifle range. However, this lends towards one of the better features of the gun: the folding stock. Perhaps I should go ahead and fill out my AARP card now. That being said, after about 100 yards of carrying this boat anchor I was beginning to think that getting a day laborer as a gun bearer wouldn't be a bad idea. I can be cranky, whiny, and bitch about everything when I'm old and senile. Quite honestly, few people would dare carry around a 18# rifle to go hunting, but I don't care. So what do you do with a $7000 rifle package that is built as a law enforcement sniping platform? You go shoot pigs! it feels like a different platform all together an AI. It simply does not feel like a Remington 700, Savage 10, or even a Sig 3000 or Sako TRG. The difference is how the controls are placed, how the gun is delivered, and it's features. The rifle is not your traditional idea of a precision rifle, it's a purpose built tool for usage as a sniping platform, and is far from the perverted benchrest rifle doctrine with "ruggedized sporting rifles". I lacked a PVS-14 to test with the gun during this trial, maybe next time. There were two side picatinny rails and a mid-length rail for mounting night vision optics. The AI came with the optional rail package. look through a Schmidt & Bender during the day at high magnification at a distant target. There is a marked difference between it and my Nightforce during the day, but my 2nd focal Nightforce ruled the night in light transmission and clarity over the 1st focal big tube Schmidt. The Schmidt & Bender is quite possibly the clearest day scope on the planet. Options: AI Tactical Muzzle Brake, AI Scope Mount, AI 10-Round Magazine, Harris Bipod, AI Butt Spike, and AI Night Vision Mount Stock: Folding Accuracy International Chassis System (AICS) in Dark Earth We put the gun through it's paces and in an unfamiliar environment to discern what makes this gun and package worth the money.īarrel: 20" 1:12 Twist 4-Groove Heavy Barrel (Threaded)Īction: Accuracy International Round Receiver 308 loaded up with a slew of AI accessories for me to review.
