Dan534 Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 In short, what Sporting Services have been building recently Yea pretty much, But with a normal synthetic stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotch_egg Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 Yea pretty much, But with a normal synthetic stock. There is a version in a PSE composite stock. I just can't post the pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiff Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 Â There is a version in a PSE composite stock. I just can't post the pic. Â Â Â I had a good play with the rifle at the shooting show and it was very nice, be it in single shot. Â In my mind the AE MKIII has taken a considerable number of sales away from the more expensive AW. I brought the AE because I'm not off to the arctic anytime soon, so didn't need the AW.....but if all that was available was the AW, I would have brought it. Â So it would make sense to have the AT as an AIAE MKIII action with AICS mag (maybe even polymer) in a PSE or similar stock. Then have the AW & AX as the more traditional AI chassis based rifle.

CNorris517 Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 Does anyone else think the stock looks a lot like some of the Staffs Synthetic's jobbies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lateo Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 As Tiff mentions, the SS rifle at the Shooting Show was actually very nice... and would certainly provide a decent entry level AI platform  Take away the AE and you've then cornered the market nicely  However would more people then choose a Remi AICS (as the 'in between' option) instead of making the leap to an AW?  We all know a good rifle when we see one but money is money, and a lot of people ain't got much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJR Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 Guys, I think you are all barking up the wrong tree. Most specs already mentioned on people's 'wish list' for an AE replacement really only mimic what the AE is already more than capable of and is very civvie orientated. If I were AI I would want to bring to market a product to fill a niche not already covered by their range and that to me says miltary, lighter in weight and compact whilst still delivering AI standards of accuracy. For me that shouts bullpup layout, use of lighter materials ie carbon fibre/polymer and easy calibre swap capability. Produce that, in left hand of course and I'd be willing to dip my toe in AI ownership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offroad Gary Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 So going off track slightly, has anyone ever restocked an AE into something different? Is that whats in that picture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldie Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 The AE was designed for the police market , no ? Â I think it will be a rifle more suited to the short range contacts the police have. IE a bullpup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jungle_re Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 My money is on an intermediate range weapon like the SPR, a marksman rifle rather than sniper system Expecting shorter lighter and smaller calibre choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tackb Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 My guess is that as long as it's made by AI then you could roll a dog turd in glitter and people would buy it ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
