Accuracy International AT-X
Accuracy International · Sniper Rifle · In Production · 2022
Also known as: AI AT-X
Overview
The Accuracy International AT-X is a bolt-action precision rifle chambered primarily in 6.5 Creedmoor, introduced in 2022 as the company's entry into the Precision Rifle Series (PRS) and long-range competition market. Built around a steel push-feed action with a 60-degree, six-lug bolt, it uses a removable, cut-rifled 416 stainless steel match barrel that, unlike the glued barrels of AI's military AT and AX rifles, is threaded into the receiver for user re-barreling. The rifle rides in a modular aluminium chassis with an adjustable comb and length of pull, a full-length top rail, and an adjustable two-stage match trigger.

Notes
Derived from AI's military AT/AX platform but purpose-built for civilian competition shooters; the unglued, threaded barrel is the key departure that allows owners to swap barrels and chamberings sharing the 0.473-inch bolt face.
Background
Accuracy International was founded in 1978 by Olympic shooter Malcolm Cooper, and its rifles have long dominated military and law-enforcement sniping. The AT-X marked a deliberate move to serve the booming PRS competition circuit, where AI's precision heritage competes with a wave of American custom rifle builders.
