I collected this today for a customer
AI have just completed a one off run of 10 AW rifles in 7.62, and this was ordered for a very good customer...and friend of Bradley Arms. So today I called in to Sporting Services today to pick it up. We specced it and Dave said, green please, and fill all the holes in the foam, so 4 extra mags, a sling, cleaning rod, bore guide and chamber brush, all in a Storm case. Scope is the AI S&B 3-20x50 Here it is in all its glory

If you zoomed in and put a dot on your screen with a dry erase marker the AWP was a beast with one shot kills without zooming in. |

Yeah one of those is on my "buy" list. But I'd rather it in .300WM or .338 if I'm honest.
That said, haven't these been available for years? I could swear you could just go on Gunbroker a few years ago and buy one. What this "only 10" stuff? EDIT: just saw you were in Britain. Is this a UK rarity thing? |

What makes it particularly appropriate for arctic warfare, minimal Pic rail so it doesn't snag on the snow?
A hand warmer pocket in the cheekpiece? Green?

What do you do with a super accurate 14 pound rifle? Maybe if there were more decent 600 yard plus ranges around here or I lived out west

I work in the industry and the last rifle/optic package I sold was $8,900. That was just a nice lightweight 1,000yd-capable hunting rifle.

There are a lot of serious long range shooters in this part of the country. I guess with ATVs running $ 10k and trucks costing $ 50k a $ 10k rifle-I don't know, I probably have a bunch of junk I never shoot that cost $ 10k if I added up guns, mags etc, but still seems tough to swallow |

Not sure why anyone would want to buy a new production AW when you can get a virtually-identical AT for far less money...

Damn! Upstate Ny is kind of a cheapskate gun area. There are some guys with big money shotguns for trap and skeet and bird hunting, but not a lot of stuff like that. I know guys who make decent six figures who still hunt with beat up rem 700s and wal mart scopes.
