We finally finished last night late. We finally got around to chambering, and threading the barrel last night. This is a MK13 Mod 5 soccom sniper rifle clone, the AICS are in service in militaries around the globe. Shot my partners and have been drooling over one ever since. I will use this gun for fun, hunting, and competing in sniper matches at Tiger Valley. Will be hitting the 1k yard range my buddy has in Burleson next week to start stretching her legs.

Specs: Accuracy International AICS 1.5 stock
300 Win Mag
Shillen Barrel
Badger Knobs and base
Leupold 6x18 scope (this will be upgraded to Nightforce shortly)
YHM 762 SS phantom silencer, waiting on QD mount for it.

Trigger is set at 2 pounds, zero creep.




Here is link, where an AICS rifle made the longest confirmed sniper kill.

Record shot linky


Here is an actual Mk13 mod 5, got close enough for government work. LOL

Thanks! Yes, he is the best smith I know. Glad we work together.

There is a reason his shop is always packed with jobs and most from repeat customers. He is a perfectionist for sure, never ever heard of someone leaving unhappy in 3 plus years now.

Buddy built one on his land. I am headed down to our land today, and gonna scout for a long range place on mine. I think the max I can find a spot on my land is gonna be 800 yards or so.

I already had several components, but if someone was gonna build similar would break down like this.


Accuracy International AICS 1.5 stock $900ish
300 Win Mag
Shillen Barrel $200-300 depending on options
Badger Knobs $30 plus machine labor
Leupold 6x18 scope $550ish
YHM 762 SS phantom silencer, waiting on QD mount for it. $600ish
Remington 700 donor rifle $600ish
Badger $140ish
Badger Rings $100ish
Machine work would run about $350

So to build a similar rig would be in the vicinity of $3,000ish
