I have always wanted an AI, period.
The opportunity came along to grab a squared away package locally.
I have no range review as I picked it up 2 nights ago but this weekend I’ll put some time down range on it.
It is…as heavy as it looks…
Excuset the quality of the pictures, new cell phone and trying out the camera phone.
AI-AW .308 Folder
20inch Fluted, w/brake
AI Bipod
AI Uni Scope Mount
S&B 3-12x PMII
Nice rifle! The price of AI’s has really sky rocketed lately so buying used was a great decision.
I have heard that, is that because of the dollar/euro exchange?
What is a base AI going for now?
Awesome rig Derek. The base AI which is the AE is in the 3K+ now. I got mine for less than 2K a few years back.
Accuracy International AW .308 26” plain bbl + muzzle brake $4,800.00- specs
Picatinny Rail +$180.00
Ai Bi-Pod +$280.00
Folding Stock & Adj. Cheek Piece +$430.00
Adj. Cheekpiece Only +$150.00
Butt Spike +$250.00
Storm fitted case +$299
They are also telling people the rifles have gone up even further.
awwwwww Derek YOU SUCK :mad: I’m so jealous! you have S&B on an AI and I’m stuck with a Bushnell 3200 on my 700P LTR until I get rich again!
No, really, great stick and congrats on a great deal. Shoot the heck out of it and let us know just how accurate it is. When I get REALLY rich again I’ll put my LTR in an AICS.
Shot it yesterday, not very far but the results were boringly accurate…
Will update when I get the can on it and see how it does at extended ranges
OUTSTANDING
I skip the 300 yard lanes and go straight to the 650 range, and it is still somewhat boring yet fun at the same time. Finally took some better pictures of the setup:

Reconfirming zero with BH 175s for the first time, on the bag:
View through spotting scope of me setting up targets, stills feels like a long ways away:
After christmas, its 1k or bust.
Damn I wish I had your bank account- or what is left of it! 
I hate you. Real nice rifle.
very nice . no matter if your rich or poor ,it’s nice to have money .
Current Update of the setup, 24in UK proofed AI barrel with OPS 3rd model:
British desert pink?
Didn’t notice that in earlier threads.
hahaha you noticed it also?
I have an extra pair of skins…it might be time to try the home paint job
Nice rifle Bro,
I have a question, if one of these is bought in the 1.0 or 1.5 config, can they be converted to 2.0?
No.
Or at least not practically.
The action is permanently bonded to the aluminum chassis and, while the two can be seperated, you’d have to buy a 2.0 chassis ($1k) and pay someone to bond the action in.
Much better off finding a factory 2.0 if you want a folder.
You suck for getting your hands on the SSDS scope!! Nice stick by the way…
That’s Hot!Nice package.
I want an AI rifle/folder badly.Maybe come settlement time.
Those damn germans…they know what they are doing…
ive had a chance to shoot it at low light also…it does well compared to the NXS and Leupy that were there along with it
