Accuracy International AX50

Designed to withstand constant military deployment, the new generation AX50 long range anti matérial rifle from Accuracy International is based on the DNA of the battle proven AW50. Inheriting the toughness, reliability and ease of maintenance of it’s powerful predecessor, the AX50 exhibits all the features necessary to ensure superb accuracy and consistent cold shot performance in the harshest conditions. Butt pad: The AX50 is fitted with a large, recoil absorbing, butt pad for increased comfort. The user can easily customise the length of pull using the 10mm butt spacers included. Action: A proprietary, flat bottomed, high grade steel action is bolted to the full-length aluminium chassis. A full width recoil lug totally eliminates movement, ensuring that zero will be maintained in arduous conditions. Two pressure release points minimise blowback in the event of a cartridge failure. The integral Picatinny Rail provides an internationally accepted interface for many optical systems. Adjustable Cheekpiece: A height adjustable, cheekpiece is fitted as standard and allows the user to obtain an optimum cheek position when using night vision equipment or telescopic sights with large objective lenses. Trigger assembly: The two-stage trigger allows a large sear engagement to be maintained until the first stage is taken up, thereby reducing the risk of an accidental discharge. Adjustable for pull weights of 1.5-2.0kg (3.3-4.4lb), the trigger can easily be removed for cleaning by simply loosening two socket-head screws. Rear observation support: The extendable rear support 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 50mm (2"). Safety mechanism: The two-position safety blocks the firing pin and locks the bolt in the closed position when to the rear, and allows the weapon to fire in the forward position. The safety will only operate when the bolt is cocked. New stock design: The new external stock design facilitates a secure yet comfortable shooting position and greatly improves the user’s ability to carry and move with the rifle. The polymer stock sides are impervious to all normal cleaners and lubricants used in small arms maintenance. Folding chassis: The chassis features a wear compensated hinge so the stock can be folded for parachute insertions or to facilitate transportation. The stock locks in the folded position for security and the avoidance of noise, and is easily released by pulling firmly on the butt. When folded, the overall length is reduced by 254mm (10")
