Accuracy International Picture Thread

I've had 2 accutacs. Liked the BR4 but recently switched to the tbac bipod and absolutely love it
I ordered one of those also, but for the AT-X. :)

With the advent of having wrench flats on the barrels now, I can see not using a barrel vice. Personally I can't stand that look. When GAP spun up my new manbun barrel, they asked, I told no way. It would have totally ruined the look of a straight contour barrel.
 
I was RSO'ing at the Ironman Range at Quantico today. I brought the AXMC in 300PRC to test the new Accu-Tac and to see if I got the focus correct on the TriggerCam. I have to say I like the Accu-Tac and it's wider stance as I primarily do prone with the PRC. It seems it jumps less but I'll have more data tomorrow when I'll be shooting at 1,000yds.

I think I got the TC focus down, although the NF's ocular rotates so I had to clamp it down at 25x in preparation for 1,000. Ironman only goes to 450yds and there is some USMC steel in the tree line, which is 475yds, so the magnification for this video is excessive but I think I resolved my bad eyes vs. true focus.



Bonus picture - you never know what will show up at the range - MP-40 clone:

While I was at the range I got an emergency call from the Society for Orphaned British Rifles (pronounced Sober) pleading for help fostering a recent arrival. As you can see, there are clear signs of neglect to include no optic or muzzle brake and no bipod until they could borrow one for the abused rifle campaign photo shoot (and just as Sarah McLachlan was getting ready to produce a tear jerking commercial). I was hesitant at first as Sober is always calling to me, but I finally agreed to spend the time necessary to rehabilitate and mentor this orphan. :ROFLMAO:

Took my 11 year old step son out yesterday to shoot his new “AW” 😂 see if you can spot it in this photo of him banging the plate at 500 with the ASR. I have to say AI, Proof and 6CM with Berger 105 is like a cheat code. You almost can’t miss regardless of the conditions. Winds were back and forth 10-15mph. I don’t think anyone who shot even missed once. ASR is the best gun I’ve ever owned.

Got him his first gun for his birthday. Crickett Precision rifle in the AI thumbhole style stock. He went to town with it. He got a hit at 300 with it in 22LR😂 he said he shot a “rainbow”… he’s learning quick!

TriggerCam on a NF ATACR at 25x at 1,000yds. AXMC in 300PRC shooting a 2/3rds IPSC using a factory Hornady 225gr ELDM. I didn't trust AB solution and dialed down 0.2mils, which was the 1st hit low right you can see when the plate recoils from the 2nd hit. My fault on the elevation call as it was a good 40 degrees colder today.

If you look at a larger version of the video on YT, just as it starts you can see (left side of video) a guy breaking a 4" clay on the back berm at 1,035yds with his 338L.

I'll dial it back to 15-20x the next range session so I can get some good trace videos.



Asked my shooting buddy to get an action shot of me and of course, he caught the guy photobombing us with his arse.

Didn’t get many photos. But shot the Guardian at GTI last weekend. Me and my team mate both shot our AIs. He was shooting a AIAX in 308 while I shot my AIAT in the Accuracy Obsession chassis in 6gt This was our first team match and we placed 12th

A shortened range session on Quantico Ironman today with the .260 and DE master race AXSA. I was shooting USMC steel at 475yds. I was consistently 0.3mils low, which tells me the velocities I guessed at yesterday while zeroing were low. This is a 26" barrel and I probably guessed 24" speeds, it's those 2 extra inches that count!

I only got about 20rds out when Range Control instituted a caliber restriction above .30 and 6.5CM equivalents, apparently the Marines had forestry ops downrange.

That global wind map looks good, but it does not take into account terrain effects and therefore does not give you wind at the surface. Those lines you see will likely reflect winds about 500 to 1000 ft AGL.
You tell him why what he's referencing doesn't work, yet you offer zero for an alternative. you are also assuming wind compass is the only thing he uses to calculate wind. What would be a better solution? What do you use?
