Borisserge Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 Hi, just wondering if anyone can post a review on Accuracy International 308 AT now they have had some decent trigger time against it. It would be great to have a comparison, especially if you have also owned the mk111 or AW. Boris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brown dog Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 I have very limited trigger time on it, but for all practical purposes, the AT is the AW repackaged. ie if you'd have fancied an AW, the AT is it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 Pretty sure Baldie has his own AT and reviewed it a few moths ago - search his posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradders Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 Pretty sure Baldie has his own AT and reviewed it a few moths ago - search his posts. Baldie has an AX. It's essentially the same rife, except the AX has a tubular fore-end and multi-adjustable stock I've also fired a few through the AT as the NRA have a couple. My only reservation (purely aesthetic) is the height of the scope over the barrel. That picadilly rail is very high, I assume so the scope can clear the hand guard on the AX model, of which I believe they share the same basic action. I'd still buy one though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotch_egg Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 AI are producing a lower rail that will be available soon. I believe Spuhr are also going to produce an after market rail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strangely Brown Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 Can anybody tell me what the cheek piece is like on the AT & AX regards to "stickiness". I thought that the issue one with the AW & AE wasn't as well thought out as it should be given the price and market position of the product.

baldie Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 Baldie has got an AXMC308 Not jealous, honest No need to be jealous mucker, i,m gonna bring a spare box full of ammo with me to the gong shoot , so you can have a play. The AT should be a fantastic gun, its got most of the best bits of the others on it, in a cheaper package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that right there is apparently a problem for AI, as it seems that because there's not much to choose between the two, the AX's aren't selling as well as they thought. Given the choice between the two, I'd go with the AT and spend the difference on ammo or put it towards a better scope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradders Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 AT?Oops, sorry. Yes I meant the AT Just wish I could come up with a valid reason for buying one...but I'd rarely use it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCetrizine Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 Rarely using something is a valid reason. Using it once is a valid reason. Looking at it and stroking it occasionally is a valid reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrCetrizine Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 Yeah, I hear that. Growing up has recently happened to me in one surprise event. So far, I don't like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisF Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Any more info on the LOWER rail on the new AT & AX ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 AI are producing a lower rail that will be available soon. I believe Spuhr are also going to produce an after market rail. Interested in this, like to lower my scope a little (theres 10mm at least free space i'd prefer to lose between top of for end tube and base of objective) Id also like the opportunity to buy the new design butt assembly for my rifle………….
