Looks to be an accuracy international chassis. Quite a few different actions can be mounted in one of those. Odds on would be a Remington 700 Milspec model. Could be a lot of things, hard to say with the angle and lack of visible markings etc.

That's a photo from the Sydney. Martin Place drama. If you Google you will find a lot more photos from that time.

The other images show the same two guys. It looks a bit like a Sako TRG but it's not I don't think. Similar Stock but Stainless Fluted Barrel and a Blued Action. Could be a Custom Build. It doesn't look anything like a Remington 700.

it could be a real accuracy international ae mk2 or mk3 but you can buy them chassis for the remington so it could be either one

Could be Airsoft, totally prohibited to civilians though.

It is an AI chassis, with the original skins, with a Rem 700 action. The barrels are most likely Maddco. The scope is a S&B PM2 Illuminated.

Probably is, it'd explain why they went in spraying with their M4's instead of taking a long shot. :sarcasm:

I shot at last years Victoria Police OPM and there was a competitor using an all AI rifle in 308.

I'm not following this thread. Black rifles scare me.
