    Pros and Cons of AI v. custom rifle using AICS?

    Re: Pros and Cons of AI v. custom rifle using AICS? I'm in Alexandria-- I have an AE 308 and a REM700 in an AICS. If you want to check both of them side-by-side for trigger comparison and action, then you are welcome to stop by. They do feel different. Send PM and I'll send you my phone number.

    Army M24 Build Thread

    Re: Army M24 Build Thread Pretty sure 25ID went with AICS. It will be interesting to figure out what the "approved" Army solution will be on this. Not to hijack-- I wonder what will happen if Remington's MSR wins the SOCOM contract--seems like it would be an easy (and lucrative) sale to...

    Army M24 Build Thread

    Re: Army M24 Build Thread Is the Army PEOs product improvement for the M24 going to be the M24A2 mods as posted at Remington? I know that some groups are going to the AICS.

    Behind the Scenes Barrett Video Shoot

    Re: Behind the Scenes Barrett Video Shoot Would love to see a US manufacturer give Remington a run for their money--keeps everyone honest. Hopefully, some of this will trickle down to us "small" people. How did it shoot?

    Buy once, cry once... TRG-22 or AI AW in .308?

    Re: Buy once, cry once... TRG-22 or AI AW in .308? If you have that kind of coin for a rifle that you are still learning to shoot, then you might as well add another $2-5K on 3-5 weeks of schools. And if you want to get really good results, then fork over the time and money for the reloading...

    Rifle Scopes A question for Premier and S&B owners

    Re: A question for Premier and S&B owners Have had both-- PH is definitely the better value. That said, I'm running S&B 5-25 XRs because: 1) I can adjust S&B parallax down to about 15Y so I can dry-fire inside, PH can't go that low. 2) Rear focus ring of the PH is a little too coarse for...

    Accuracy International Chassis System

    Re: Accuracy International Chassis System BM11: Bedding doesn't bond the action to the stock, it just provides consistent contact between the two. This increases consistency of pressure on the action when mated to the stock. Once you bed, you can still separate the stock and action, but you...

    Accuracy International Chassis System

    Re: Accuracy International Chassis System My AICS-bedded rifles needed to be bedded. Best example is my 22LR. I had a 40X mounted on an AICS. My builder was Clay Spencer--one of the best. Clay rebuilt the rifle and mounted it in the AICS. We decided not to bed it to see how it would do--the...

    What's your effective range???

    Re: What's your effective range??? Current: At 1K and with my 308 AE and match ammo, first round hit within 24 inches most conditions (<15mph wind). Then within 15 inches after first round spot. Hold vertical dispersion to velocity difference in the load. Desired: Within 15 inches at first...

    Sling effect on 22LR

    Re: Sling effect on 22LR Barrel is free-floated and bedded exactly like my other AICS-equipped rifles--so there is no deviation from the equipment side. I know the 22LR is a lot more sensitive to hold factors than most centerfires, but I find it difficult to understand how my .75MOA hold on...

    Accuracy Int AE beyond 800-1000yds??

    Re: Accuracy Int AE beyond 800-1000yds?? ~15 mils with 175s on my AE for 1100Y depending on temperature. I'm going to try LL's suggestion the 178s on and see how they do--could use a little help against the wind at F-Class.

    Sling effect on 22LR

    Need some advice-- My standard shooting position with AI/AICS centerfires is to use a TIS sling sloop around my upper left forearm to further lock-in the gun while I am shooting prone off of bipod and bag. The technique is a little strange, but it helps offset a shoulder injury and gets the...

    Most collectable sniper rifle

    Re: Most collectable sniper rifle Go for an unpapered (non-DCM/CMP) M1D with an M84 scope and a cheekpad. Don't worry about the flash hider and other junk because you won't want to shoot with them anyway. Get it bedded and do a trigger job--best of all worlds. The nicer ones are running for...

    Most collectable sniper rifle

    Re: Most collectable sniper rifle For U.S.-- I'd have to go with the M1C/M81 or a really nice early WWII 1903A4/M73B1. For my collection, I'm going with a complete Army line-up. I'd trade just about any rifle in my collection for a nice M1C. If you want to go the economical/shooter route...

    Rifle Scopes DARPA One-Shot Program

    Re: DARPA One-Shot Program Kinda makes you want to ask what the hoopla about Phase 1 is all about. I do hope they figure out how to execute HUD technology within the sniper scope--lots of good capabilities there to include adding BFT, adjusting reticle to conditions/ammo, etc.
