Accuracy International is a British firearms manufacturer based in Portsmouth, England. The company specializes in sniper rifles, anti-materiel rifles and civilian competition rifles.
The company was founded in 1978 by a group of individuals including British Olympic shooting gold medalist Malcolm Cooper, Sarah Cooper, and Martin Kay, along with the firearms designers Dave Walls and David Caig.
Accuracy International's sniper rifles have been used by a multitude of military units and police departments across the world.[2]
Following a period of financial hardship, Accuracy International faced liquidation in 2005.[3] Nevertheless, a British consortium, led by Tom Irwin and the initial design duo of Dave Walls and David Caig, intervened to ensure the company's continuity.
