Finally got to shoot my Accuracy International

[lentuk]

I finally got my Accuracy International AE MKIII .308 all together and shot some Federal Gold medal match 168s through it today.
This is my first high end bolt rifle.
I have to say if it was not for my inexperience running a bolt gun, there would have been some serious 100 yard 5 shot groups fired.
I would shoot a 4 shot one hole group and then blow it with a flier on the last shot every time.
I know the first group looks like two shots touching but there are 4 witnessed rounds in there.
More practice necessary, but I am seriously impressed with this rifle.

That looks awesome! Did that break come standard? How long is the barrel?

This is how it came from the factory, 20 inch barrel.
Minus the CTK monopod.

Curt is the man at CTK, he let me try this one out on the new stock skins.
I had to trim the bottom of the skins but it works great.

That is very nice, great looking setup! Work on fundamentals and your fliers will reduce themselves. Congrats!

Gorgeous. The new skins are a substantial upgrade. AI got a lot of little things right on the MkIIIs. After seeing yours, I have no reservations about buying one of my own.

The MKIII looks sweet. Every aspect looks cool from the new skins to the retro butt stock.

Very nice!

You've got me thinking about an AE Mk III in 6.5 Creedmoor... From whom did you purchase the rifle? Thank you.

Where did you get the buttstock from? I need something like that to add a few inches to mine, and the spacers can be hard to come by
