Full description and what we offer
Accuracy International started in 1978 when Dave Walls, David Caig, and Malcolm Cooper (an Olympic rifle gold medalist) joined forces. By 2005, Walls and Caig took full ownership and doubled down on what they do best: building rifles that work under conditions others can't handle.
Their L96 and Arctic Warfare variants became the standard-issue sniper rifle for the UK Armed Forces. Today, AI rifles are in use by military and law enforcement agencies in over 60 countries. That track record isn't marketing—it's earned through repeated deployment in the field.
Accuracy International's headquarters and main manufacturing facility sits in Portsmouth, Hampshire, England. The U.S. manufacturing base opened in Fredericksburg, VA in 2009 and handles American production.
Mile High Shooting Accessories operates as the largest AI distributor in the world AND the only certified Accuracy International Service Center in the USA. They stock rifles, chassis systems, barrels, magazines, and accessories—and can configure custom builds not currently listed.
Call (303) 255-9999 if you need a specific rifle configuration. Mile High has been in business 20+ years and handles everything from competitive shooters to law enforcement agencies.
