| Is Accuracy International any good? Are their rifles worth the money? Please share your experiences with them and pics of your own. |

I think they're amazing rifles. Way more amazing than me. I can't shoot as good as a Remington 700P, so I don't really see the need to drop that kind of coing on an AI. If you've got the coin, and the need, and the skill, I say go for it. But they are pretty specialized rifles for a pretty specialized purpose. For me, owning one would be more about saying I own one than owning it because it does it's job so well. YMMV |
I used to shoot the AWP all the time, but do so less now. I can still sometimes kill maybe half a team of terrorists without reloading, if I'm lucky. Seriously, anything AI makes is kickass, they don't make anything that's crap. On the contrary, the question you should ask yourself is whether YOU, at your skill level, will shoot better with a $10,000 AI than with, say, a $5,000 Dakota Arms Tactical Longbow, or, say, the FN PGM rifle CMMG has up for sale for $7,000:  www.gunsamerica.com/guns/976317420.htm Only you know your skill level and your true requirements. Will you be able to utilize the extra accuracy of, say, an AWP vs. the PGM, to the extent that an extra $3,000 cost up front would be worth it to you? You can handload or buy ALOT of match grade ammo for three grand... |
| There was a documentary on the History Channel awhile ago on the Brit Army sniper teams, each man is issued a .338 Lapua AI. Seeing 40 of them in a row on the firing line, all barking at random intervals, gave me a big stiffy. But I digress. Yes they are used by the Brits and to good effect. |
