Very expensive
accurate? .5? .25?
Not many owners who I can find from looking around. Haven't been on Snipers Hide, not a fan.

Yes, very accurate and extremely durable. They are not cheap, but they shoot very well. I load for multiple customers who shoot their rifles. Anything from 6mm and 6.5mm CM to 338 Lapua, and in between. Of all the modular rifles I've seen, theirs is the most impressive. Multiple shooters use them for competition and they work very well for that. Here was a group from a customer that was running a new AI in 6.5 CM with my 140 or 147 ELD-M match ammo in a class. He was very pleased with the accuracy.

Yup, A.I. rifles are good to go.
Never met a light weight one though. They're built to work like a rented mule.

Accuracy International was co-founded by Malcolm Cooper, an Olympic Gold Medal rifle shooter from the UK.
When the rifles first came out, one of his "party tricks" during demos was to fire two shots at 100 meters, grab the rifle by the barrel and slam the stock down on the shooting bench, then get behind the rifle and fire another round. All three shots would be in one hole at 100 meters.
They are expensive, but brutally accurate and brutally durable.

And brutally heavy…they are the Nightforce of rifles.

hard to argue with that !! Can you set the triggers low? 1#? Depends on the model. The AT-X comes with a 2-stage competition trigger with a heavy spring pre-installed (1.5-2.75lbs). A light spring is included that can be installed dropping the weight down to 12 ounces-1.5 lbs. For AT & AX you can buy a drop in competition trigger that comes preset at 1.25lbs but can be adjustable from .75-2.0lbs. The AXSR (formerly the AXMC) comes with a two stage trigger set from factory at 2.5lbs. It’s is not the Comp trigger like you can buy for the other models above but a variant of it but with less adjustability. It’s been the only complaint I have heard about AI, specifically with the AXSR. You can get a single stage installed but AI has to install it. I have heard lots of horror stories of guys trying to do it themselves or try and adjust the factory 2 stage.

By far the best shooting rifle I’ve ever owned…also by far the heaviest rifle I’ve ever owned. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2023/05/full-24937-389447-4fc47ce6_0aa6_4766_b370_7be7a1d005be.jpeg)
