    Accuracy International Picture Thread

    When I moved back to Illinois, I met a few shooters into precision shooting. I don't have much of an ego so I was fine talking about my AI AT only being a ~0.8 moa rifle. Typical shit talking about my 5k setup getting killed by their custom ARs...blah blah Went shooting one day and I don't...

    Do I need a 700 in my arsenal.

    I can't help but feel like some tape and a sharpie would solve OP's issue here. Maybe a label maker if he is feeling classy.

    Do I need a 700 in my arsenal.

    Do you really need a standard 700 in your arsenal if you already have other basic bolt guns that do the same thing? Especially since it sounds like you don't even know what specific role it is meant to fill.. Idk, sounds like this itch might be an STD.

    Who Makes the Best Switch Barrel Rifle?

    Holy shit.. almost half a thou between hand tight and 80 ft lbs? So for someone like me that is likely only at 20-30 ft lbs, I will never worry about headspace differences as a variable. I still found a wrench to be more reliable for RTZ, but have no explanation for why. Maybe I just sucked when...

    Who Makes the Best Switch Barrel Rifle?

    I can't believe I am seeing Desert Tech so much here. I miss my A1, I truly loved it. I think DT has the best quick change system with brain dead reliable return to zero out there. I sure as shit wouldn't call it the best rifle that has that feature.. AI or MRAD have to be the best options for...

    Target rounds not good for protection?

    Someone remind me to get his opinion on Quigley-Ford scopes when they get out of timeout.

    Target rounds not good for protection?

    Not uncommon for bots to necro threads while trying to pump their fake post count.. This is a spicy bot.

    Out of the box problems with my ZCO 527

    I hope you remember how to use iron sights. If you don't have faith in ZCO because you got a lemon, I can show you a failure from every other manufacture to kill your faith in them too. I have had to return a NF and Kahles for example. Let them take care of it, and then enjoy one of the best...

    Rifle Scopes Reticle size vs zoom range ffp

    The reticle will cover the same amount of the target. The whole sight picture might look different to your brain due to optical design differences between the 4-16 and 7-35. Functionally any shot you could make with one would be easily made with the other.

    Accuracy International Picture Thread

    FWIW: When I commented in that thread, I only use the wrench for return to zero consistency on my AT. Like you found out from your phone call, no issues at all going hand tight only if you plan on leaving the barrel installed or have a chance to zero it. You can even get decent RTZ with hand...

    Muzzle velocity difference between manufacturers

    The best part about this game is you could buy a Seekins based off the single data point you found, and end up with a barrel slower than all the Tikkas that stacks dimes. Its real exciting when you get a short barrel on the high side of velocity, but man does can it suck when you buy a shorty...

    New production M1 Garands

    $1900 is actually less than I expected. Not my thing so I wouldn't touch it at that price. I am sure plenty out there would pay that to have a new production Garand to abuse rather than risk further wear on their original rifles.

    Barrel flats, any one use them?

    This was the issue I had with trying to snap it in place only by hand. It wasn't consistent, and especially with external factors like rain or mud. With even a small wrench like mine, I gained all of the consistency back across multiple barrels. You are gaining a higher minimum torque, and there...

    Barrel flats, any one use them?

    I will be honest, I am not sure. I give it a snap and it requires the wrench to get the barrel lose again. Personal anecdote: When I first got the AI, I had to decide between keeping it or my DT SRS A1. I did a Return to Zero test where I shot 10 rounds at a single POA while removing the barrel...

    Barrel flats, any one use them?

    @Jrb572 @carbonbased You can see the wrench in this pic. Its more about consistently hitting the same torque value than the actual torque value itself in my experience, so this works perfectly.
