Welcome to F-B(UK) PJ

I reckon an AE would make a very good F/TR rifle and have often considered it myself. Which version of the AI/AE do you shoot?

To be truly competitive a longer barrel would be handy, lighten the trigger (Mikmak did a very good job of mine) and you need a rear bag rider, I have made a couple for AI/AE's in the past so shout if you ever need one.

WOW! They are some serious stock sides you have on your AI. We have a couple of TruFlite barrelled rifles in the house and rate them very highly.

Nice :good: but I assume that it will struggle with the 8.25Kg max weight rule???
