Accuracy International AX338

Butt pad: Fitted with either a bolt-on pad with 10mm and 20mm spacers or the optional quick-adjust butt pad the user can easily customise the length of pull. Butt pad height adjustment can be provided as an additional option. Cheekpiece: The standard adjustable cheekpiece adjusts left/ right as well as for height to allow for night vision equipment or telescopic sights with large objective lenses. The quick adjust cheekpiece option is spring loaded for rapid tool-less adjustment. Cheekpiece spacers are also available. Butt spike: The extendable spike enables the user to observe the target area for extended periods with minimal fatigue. Designed with quick and fine adjustment to a maximum extended length of 115mm (4.5"). Pistol grip: Optional ergonomically advanced pistol grip or traditional thumbhole stock. New stock design: The new external stock design greatly improves the user’s ability to carry and move with the rifle. A shorter rear stock makes shooting easier in bulky body armour. Folding chassis: This option allows the stock to be folded for transportation, reducing overall length by 235mm (9.25") and adding 0.2kg (0.4lb). The stock locks positively in the folded position for security and the avoidance of noise. In the extended position, built-in wear compensation ensures total rigidity. Sling points: Two sling attachment points are mounted on each side as standard. The two forward sling points can be moved according to user preference. Available as standard AI sling points or flush cups. Bonded action: A new strengthened design ensures safety in the most extreme environments. It is permanently bonded and bolted to the stiff aluminium chassis to eliminate movement, ensuring that zero will be maintained. Trigger assembly: Fitted as standard with adjustable pull weights of 1.5-2.0kg (3.3-4.4lb), the battle proven two stage mechanism allows a large sear engagement to be maintained until the first stage is taken up. A new trigger shoe, adjustable fore and aft by 13mm (0.5") is optional. The assembly is easily removed for cleaning by undoing the two socket head cap screws. Safety mechanism: The rifle has a threeposition safety mechanism. Position 1 (rear) blocks the firing pin and locks the bolt in the closed position. Position 2 (mid) blocks the firing pin, but allows the bolt to be operated so a live round may be safely removed from the chamber. Position 3 (forward) allows the weapon to be fired. The safety will only operate when the bolt is cocked. Modular bolt: The larger new 22mm (0.87") dia. steel close fitting bolt, bolt head,locking ring and barrel tenon construction is significantly stronger and capable of withstanding higher temperatures and pressures. An improved leaf-spring style extractor facilitates straightforward removal and replacement. Picatinny rail: This option is pinned and screwed to the action providing a standard interface for many optical systems. Available in flat, 20 MOA and 30 MOA cants. Barrel: The match grade free floating barrel is threaded deep into the action with a large diameter thread. Optional barrel lengths, twists, and muzzle breaks are available. Magazine: Surface toughened, and finished with a multi-part anti-corrosive, anti-friction coating, the compact 10-round double row, military grade steel magazine combined with the revised chassis design makes loading faster and more positive without lifting the rifle. Forend rail system: Free floating tube forend in either 406mm (16") or 330mm (13") featuring a keyhole slot system for quickly and securely attaching modular rail sections on to which a virtually unlimited variety of optical, ranging, support and carry options can be fitted. Full length picatinny rails in flat, 20 MOA or 30 MOA options to match the action rail.
