Renowned for crafting some of the finest sniper rifles in the world, Portsmouth-based Accuracy International (AI) is set to reinforce its market leadership with the introduction of its innovative product line for 2024, targeting both Civilian and Military/Police markets.
New action and bolt for AT-X line
Expanding on its heritage of precision engineering, the next generation of AT-X is the product of intensive research, development and exhaustive testing, designed to cater to the varying demands of competitive shooters and tactical professionals.
The AT-X series features the AT-XC for competitive shooting and the AT-XMIL/LE for tactical applications, succeeding the renowned AT and AX308 models. These rifles boast a modern short-action design with enhanced durability, safety and user-friendliness, alongside a host of upgraded features to boost performance in diverse environments.
Technological Advancements and Features
Tom Irwin, Director at Accuracy International, emphasises the innovations embedded within the new AT-X: “The new AT-X introduces unparalleled performance standards for bolt-action rifles, continuing AI’s legacy of precision, robustness, and safety.” At the core of the new AT-X series is a cutting-edge action design, sharing critical characteristics with the advanced AXSR and AX ELR
models, including:
- Superior breech strength and refined gas handling
- Enhanced stability, durability, and reduced weight
- Lowered operational effort
This bolt and action underwent rigorous NATO D/14 Standard testing to validate its reliability in extreme conditions, which includes:
- Obstructed barrel and hot and cold tests
- Safety drop and endurance tests.
- Static and dynamic sand, dust, and mud tests
- Tailored features for optimal performance
The new AT-X rifles are packed with features that adapt seamlessly to operational and sporting needs:
- Multi-calibre flexibility with a quick-change barrel system
- Precision-engineered barrels in .308Win and 6.5 Creedmoor
- 7075 t6 alloy chassis treated with Mil Std Hardcoat Anodize and a Cerakote finish
AI’s long-action AXSR, previously available primarily in the US, are now accessible to the UK and global markets, meeting all requisite international and NATO military weapon testing standards.
The powerful AX ELR .50 BMG rifles top the line of models tested and available
for 2024.
