Top 5 Accuracy International Rifles of 2015

Accuracy International is among the most preferred rifles of all the leading shooters of the world. Though it started facing business issues in the early 2000s and went bankrupt in 2005, it restarted again a few days later and made some major changes in the business strategy and manufacturing. One of the best aspects of AI is their newly adopted Six Sigma rate-based-workflow and heavy investment in CNC machines and other software. This ensures rapid high quality production of rifles in least possible time. Accuracy International also adopted latest development techniques for ensuring high quality product.

Two important features you will notice in Accuracy rifles are double-stack magazine and blocky design. In fact, one of the well known snipers of all time Chris Kyle, on whom the popular movie American Sniper was made, said in his autobiography that he used Accuracy International rifles, provided to him by his unit during his third platoon in Ramada. He describes those AI 300s as “bad-ass”, if we put it in his own words. In his write-up, what he was most appreciative of AI rifles were shorter barrels and folding stocks.
