This is the latest product from the well-renowned British firearm company, Accuracy International and was first introduced in 2005. Overall, I would say this is an excellent rifle, both for anti-materiel and soft-target purposes. Its 12.7mm round packs a huge punch. And this rifle is just 30cm shorter than me. Thats how gigantic it is. And having a great muzzle brake (that fat thing at the front of the rifle), and having a free-floating barrel increases accuracy. If it wasnt for the purpose of extending the range of fighting, I wouldnt recommend this rifle to snipers. ITs semi-auto action compromises some accuracy, and snipers all know, no compromise. One Shot, One Kill.. Well I give this rifle an 8/10 anyway.
will YOU be my escape?
