The sex appeal of this run with the 1 bullet reload in the end on the bonus

never clicked faster on a video Edit: I beg, get a Sako TRG on the range

I'm ex Irish Army, was a student on out first Basic and Instructors Snipers course, in 1993, using the newly adopted AI AW, and went on to run Sniper and Recce at our specqilist Infantry Weapons Wing - IWW. Soooo good to see you do a timed shoot - which we never did back then. Such a slick, and accurqte rifle. Thanks.

Needs a desert eagle as a sidearm for peak accuracy

That was a really slick run! I was hoping to hear more about AI's 'Two Guys in a Garage' origin, though Ian has fun with it in his "Forgotten Weapons" video on the rifle.

I remember when the AI became the AI AW here in sweden. We had a few issues with it, gave a few suggestions to AI and voila, the AI AW was born! As a teen in the late 80:s, with a fascination for shooting and the armed forces, that platform gave me goosebumps! 😉

The second I saw the AI thumbnail, I thought "Oh, I hope they do the TRG some day...". And lo and behold! You guys never dissapoint! 👍

Big shout out for Steve Houghton’s books. I am lucky enough to have signed copies of both. Lovely to see this amazing rifle from my Alumnus town in action. 🙂

This is just 3 guys in a shed that won the British military trial requirement. The Gun Jesus have a couple of videos on it.

This speedway and discussion is such a badass video. I have a legit M24SWS for years now and I love it to death but man these AI guns are the bomb. I’d love to have one of my own in the same classic 7.62/.308 caliber.

Beautifully executed run! Great backstory on the development as well, all around excellent video!

Always love watching the speedway run. You guys never cease to entertain and inform.👍🤙

I normally just watch the vids, but that was a great demonstration of range shooting. Fantastic correction on misses. WOW.

Speedway is my favorite format by far, great run again

Nice Rifle and Nice Work done on the range demonstrating your skills as well as your rifle’s capability.

i used the 338 l;apua version of this once. absolute piece of beauty. i was in disbelief at first.

It’s about time this video shows up! Gotta love this classic!

Been waiting for u guys to do my ultimate dream rifle. And you guys didnt disappoint. Kudos! For bikes, it was when i first laid eyes on the ducati 900ss in 1993. In cars its the testarossa...and in rifles its always been the AW. What a dream boat.

Love your knowledgable and entertaining content.

This is a very underrated channel. Very well put together.

I've pulled off some good shots hunting, but Im always so amazed at y'all's skill. Fundamentals are the most important thing I reckon.

Henry. You MURDERED that my friend. Major props as far as I am concerned.

Very cool stuff. Enjoyed the history lessons. Thank you

Great as always. Can't wait for the Sako!

excellent video as always

This run looked so amazing because this gun is so good. What a smooth run.

Damn good shooting, as always. Henry knows his holds, his weapons and their limitations. Great run.

That was a fantastic run and History. I didn't know there were so many variations.

Loving the english accent and footy shirt. A guy at my local shooting club works for accuracy international and does alot of testing with the ax50 ELR.

Great show guys.

Great video, as allways.

The camera setup on this is perfect, this should be the way you make further future videos.

Excellent episode

I am SO stoked for the Sako! Very first "sniper rifle" I wanted back in high school.

Quite brilliant mate!

That was smooth, nice!!!

Hi, Henry and Josh. With NGSW being adopted by US military the way it is I think it would be interesting to see what would be if instead of .277 something like 6mm ARC, 6.5 Grendel, 6.5x40 were to be adopted. I think it would be interesting to see how these rounds fare on the course both out of DMR and SBR. Thank you for great content so far.

Incredible run from both the shooter and the firearm

Ahhh the TRG is sooo cool, as turn of the millennia era bolt guns go them and the AW are definitely the coolest in my book.

Best gun contest on KZfaq, bar none.

When I was in a Marine sniper platoon, we trained in Kuwait with their snipers. They had AI rifles and we had M40 a3 rifles. When shooting groups, our snipers could print half moa groups with the AI rifles but 1 moa groups with our rifles. The Kuwaiti snipers couldn't shoot less than 4 moa with either one.

Can’t wait for the TRG videos!

Nice stuff

Nice vid gents. Got to play around with some of AI's products during exercises with partners, and at Pfullendorf. Not surprised to hear such positive feedback from Mr. Henry after this speedrun. Still to this day one of the most comfortable and natural pointing chassis to handle IMO. Interesting notes regarding the differences between the Military & LE variants... learn something new everyday. Thank you guys for sharing your knowledge and doing what ya do. Keep your powder dry gents 🇺🇸 Look forward to future content.

I like the history! Thanks

I have the AIAE MK2 in 260, it was my PRS gun for years... everything about it is crazy good...

I was just going to ask if you are doing the Sako TRG -line of rifles, but you already answered the question. Looking forward to those episodes.

Gentlemen, Outstanding content as usual!

I'd like to see Henry do a speed run with a Ruger PR.

Here's a comment for your analytics: As usual, good stuff. Edit: Also as usual, ScrewTube did not notify me, but I'm still subbed.

Top job.

So cool 😊

One of my bucket list rifles

Great video guys. I really would love to see a video about the AI AT .308. I think this rifle combines everything good AI has to offer for a non military .308 rifle.

Good run.

A perfect couple: excelent rifle and excelent shooter

thank you

That was an impressive run with the AI. Love the video! Could you get a Blaser R93 Tac 2 on the range sometime? I’d love to see how it’s straight-pull action compares to the AI on the speedway course.

Sooo excited for the TRG…

Good stuff.

Super interesting. Absolutely , I love the video. Can't wait to see more accuracy international type videos. Sorry, i'm a fan boy of accuracy! international. I also like S a k o. What a great video. Roll the pumpkin baby ,roll the pumpkin!!!😊😊😊

Bought an AI AE inOak Ridge TN, about 15 yrs ago; they were an AI dealer at the time. It was my first precision rifle. .308 Very accurate out to 1000yds with BH 175gr. Have lost count of how many rds. Have never done anything but clean it occasionally.

That emergency reload was fresh.

Owned the AE and AWSM, excellent rifles… Henry - get the SSG08 a run on the course

Loved my L96 awesome rifle

I’d love it if you guys would do handgun reviews like your rifle reviews!!!

Gorgeous rifle

Great backstory for Accuracy International.

Henry is a dangerous man, good thing hes so nice. 😅

I don't think I've ever seen you walk a rifle out so smoothly while having so much trouble with reloads XD I'd have started screaming at the mags.

Excellent Rifle ''Great Stuff '' 💯💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

Slick AF😮

It would be nice if you do a grouping test at 900m for this rifle and the sniper mouser (and maybe other WWII rifles) to see how much we came along in terms of precision. You may want to equip the older rifles with better glass tho

Back when the TRG-21/41 came out , its what I brought , had a 21 with Sako bipod , scope mount , brake and can etc , very accurate rifle , and light weight for what it was , but never really liked the mag cost or design for the 21/22 model , felt they where good value for money , when a AI was 2x the cost of a Sako TRG rifle , and the best of the bunch for me was the 338LM versions TRG-41/42 , as the mag was more a single stack /feed that feed better than the 21/22 model . I used a 21 , 22 & 41 cut for the thread on TRG-42 brake , saw the upgrade Sako did for the 22/42 , mainly to get the rifle accepted into Finland Army for TRG-42 338LM , talked to some of the snipers in Finland back in the day about the rifle , it seems to be OK for about 6000 rds , if used with Lapua ammo , they upgraded the rifle to be tougher than the 21/41 model , improved bolt handle , stronger stock ( Green one ) , better brake & scope mount 3 rings , and really GOOD , low CoG bipod that was brillant , before they narrowed the feet spread . Due too me being poor , I put off , getting a AI rifle , that was a mistake , as good as the Sako TRGs are , they are not in the same league as AI rifles . I use to have TRG-21 , TRG-22 & TRG-41 modified , no longer have any TRGs . The standout things of the TRG system for me was the TRG-42 muzzle break & great bipod . My go to rifle is a AI AW , and has been since I got it , like the old HK advert , except no compromise .

I am frothing at the mouth now. Both a Sako TRG 42, and a TRG 22!! After the discussion about the bipod on the AI I got curious about the original military bipod of the TRG. Some people has complained about it not holding the gun firm enough, but I read from someone who served with it that you lock it by pushing the gun forward and I tried it on my TRG 22 and it does work. Questions I have about the Sako TRG line though is what kind of optic and rings they used normally in their military configuration, and also which supressor was used. Looking through the parts catalog I did find that the supressor was of screw on type without any internal brake. I think the original supressor was made by Finnish ASE, but have not confirmed that. Another thing I have tried to find without success is what kind of slings were used for both the AI-AW and the TRG line rifles. They are indeed very heavy and for the TRG the folding stock increases the weight by a lot. So how could someone run around with these? They must have some special kind of slings that bear little resemblance with the thin original slings. Or maybe snipers are just bada$$ and not weak untrained gun nerds 😅 Love the amount of research that you guys put into the history of the AI, I cherished every minute of it 🤩👌

Can't wait for the Sako TRG!

Looking forward to the TRG

All hail the algorythum, great informative video as always

We would love to see you test the Sign Spear/M7 on the range with a practical accuracy and speed run and give us your thoughts. The one that all the other guntube channels are using.

It would be interesting to see how something designed purely for the commercial market like the AT-X compares to these earlier military/law enforcement counterparts.

very nice

Love my Ai , I have the a t 6.5 but definitely want another model 🤔 .

Good effort. Mirage off supressor would have been a major factor after the 10th round.

Rifles like this one, or my TRG22, are in a completely different class.

Wow, that was an awesome run. Henry, I would love to hear your thoughts on the AXMC and AXSR also the AX rifle developed for the Australian army I saw a video of at shot show 2024. I'm almost sold on buying one then when I saw the Australian one with m-loks I thought that might be the one for me.

Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TRG rules!!

man that desert dpm drip is sick.

The Steyr scout has a similar 60-70degree bolt throw! Though of course its accuracy degrades over short strings beyond 5-10. Free float Barrel so thin.

Maybe the AI is the first slick action for mil/leo use, but Sako wasnt far behind with its TRG 21/41 rifles. Also Tikka and Sako made super slick actions in hunting guns even before AI was even a company.

Henry needs to be called Mr. Worldwide for all the Patreon and Utreon pitches

9.5/10 for the Southern British accent. Bang on old chap.

Sexy gun, and it performs as good as it looks!

I believe the original 'scaling up' of production was when they moved from the garden shed to the garage ;-)

Bruiser Industries told me about this rifle for my needs

The speedrun is honestly pretty impressive. From the normal Shot amount based runs i would have never guessed how fast and accurate you are.

CANNOT WAIT FOR SAKO

Love my AI AXSA!!

the weapons is so good, even when you do something wrong its easy to see , fix and correct yourself to continue your work. ps: plz... aw next =)

I just realized the bolt cycle sound is as close as in BF3. Even it isn't L96 itself.

Henry was drinking 100% in the intro. Prove me wrong! 😂
