Accuracy International, Ltd is widely regarded as the creator of the world’s finest sniper rifles being Accurate, Rugged and Reliable. The AT-X platform, with a new generation short action and enhanced features, after continued research and development and exhaustive testing, will now be offered in Sporting and Professional configurations. The AT-XC answers the call for a modern action with durability, safety, ease of use and an increased feature set for the competitive shooter. The AT-XMIL/LE replaces the AT and AX308 models.
