[QUOTE="RDM416, post: 112697, member: 3745"] UCD, I just happen to know a guy who was the General Manager for Accuracy International for several years. I spent the weekend at his place in Oak Ridge, TN a couple of weeks ago. He is a nationaly ranked 600 and 1000 yard benchrest competitor and has AI rifles.........but he does not use them for benchrest matches I asked him the same question you are asking about the AI rifles. His answer in short, was the same as the rest of guys on this site have advised you.......for the money, go custom. He spoke highly of the AI rifles and the company. But, in his opinion for a benchrest (or hunting) rifle you can do a lot for the $4,500+ an AI rifle will cost you. The AI rifles are not necessarily overpriced. They are a specialty rifle for a special purpose....Tactical. Not that they will not work well for bench and hunting, that is not what they were designed for. Just passing on a second hand opinion (from someone who should know), but personally I have never fired one. But they do look cool......in an ugly sort of way [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
