Our Assessment: The AW or Arctic Warfare is a family of sniper rifles from the British company Accuracy International. It is used by militaries and police all over the world and is the basis of the British L115A3 sniper system which was used to make one of the longest confirmed kills in history at 2,707 yards. The rifles are chambered in calibers such as .308, .300 Win. Mag., and 338 Lapua, but what if you wanted a smaller caliber for target shooting and your targets aren’t armed with AKMs or miles away? Keystone Arms released an AW look alike but it was a smaller youth rifle not geared towards adults or serious shooters. Enter this custom build by GA Precision, it has a Hall Action, Bartlein barrel, AICS 2.0 stock, and a CG Jackson trigger. Hall Manufacturing was started in 1977 by Allan Hall to build custom actions and Mr. Hall has over 25 years of experience in designing and building actions.

This experience has allowed Hall Mfg. to build actions that have won Bench Rest matches at National levels of competition.
