A better than average (accuracy-wise) M107 A1 in the 20” barrel, let’s say 1 MOA capable with good ammo, versus AI AX 50 ELR at around 1/2 MOA with said good ammo.

AI every day and twice on Sunday.

I actually have a 107 and an AI-ELR.

My 107 is fun to shoot, but it is more of a range toy. Great for shooting "at" things. When I want to "hit" something with a 50, I will always grab my AI.

As soon as Thunderbeast releases their new 50 can, I will be able to shoot my AI very quietly more often.
