Missing Something
Regular
Well..... I went to Wolverine for my usual visit and to drool on stuff when I spotted a new toy.....
After much begging and pleading I got to have a look at this:
Its the new Accuracy International AX338!
Very nice piece of kit indeed. Has a folding pistol grip stock. The pistol grip has several back strap sizes to accommodate large and small hands. Monopod. Spring loaded and adjustable cheek piece and butt plate (butt plate also adjusts vertically). Bigger/beefier bolt, and a drop free detachable 10 round double stack magazine
Bolt is silky smooth in operation....
Nice hand guard with attachment points and the latest muzzle break.....
The rifle handles better and is better balanced in my opinion.
Rifle had the new S&B 5-25 with the P4 reticle and the Barrett BORS on it. (after playing with the BORS, its a nice piece of kit)
Soooo.... once I handled it..... the begging began in earnest...... to shoot it.....
Just to shut me up, they let me have 5 rounds
Went and set up a target at 1000m.... pretty good breeze.... but shot a 5 round group with 4 out 5 bullets in the 8.5 inch and 1 called flier that made the group 11 inches..... sweet.... (used Lapua 250gr ammo)
Maybe with a little practice and more ammo.....
John's son apparently shot a 7 inch group at 1000m with it as well..... I would have no trouble believing it, with the way that it handled...
