The Accuracy International Precision Marksman (PM) is the progenitor for the Arctic Warfare series. Chambered in 7.62x51mm NATO, the PM was the winner of a British MoD competition in 1985 to replace the [[L42A1]], and was adopted as the L96A1. | |||
The Precision Marksman can be distinguished from later Arctic Warfare models by its lack of more modern features, such as its use of dovetail instead of Picatinny rails, lack of muzzle devices, fixed backup iron sights (though police barrels had no backup iron sights and had a special flash hider built into the barrel), lack of a finger cutout in the magazine well, and completely flat sides. Early PMs are fitted with a Schmidt & Bender 6x42 optic (designated L13), later replaced with the Schmidt & Bender 3-12x50 (designated L17A1) by the time of the Iraq War, the latter being taken off of the L118A1 Arctic Warfare rifles in British service at the time. | |||

The original Arctic Warfare is developed from the Precision Marksman, and the basis for the entire Arctic Warfare series that followed. Following Britain's adoption of the Precision Marksman, Sweden approached Accuracy International and requested for a sniper rifle like the L96A1 that would function well in arctic environments—hence the name "Arctic Warfare". The Arctic Warfare featured a whole package of improvements compared to the Precision Marksman, such as better furniture material, better scope, grasping tabs on the magazine, and the use of Picatinny rails instead of dovetail rails. | |||
It is currently produced in .243 Win and 7.62x51mm NATO, and normally fitted with a 660mm (26") match grade barrel for accurate long range performance. The .243 Win has a 1 in 10 twist and the 7.62x51mm NATO has a 1 in 12. The 7.62x51mm NATO version AW is fitted with a muzzle brake which serves to reduce recoil and muzzle flip. The AW is normally supplied with a 10-round box magazine. Both versions are housed in either olive drab or black stock panels and black metalwork. Butt length can be adjusted by fitting spacers to suit the shooter. | |||
This weapon is adopted as L118A1 (fixed stock) and L118A2 (folding stock) in the British military (in limited numbers by special forces), Psg 90 (Psg standing for ''Prickskyttegevär'', or "Sniper Rifle") in the Swedish military, and SR98 in the Australian military, the SR98 variant featuring extra modifications like a threaded barrel and a free floating barrel. | |||

The '''AWM''' is based on the AW rifle with minimal changes to accommodate Magnum length cartridges. Its detachable box magazine holds 5 rounds. Normal calibers are .300 Winchester Magnum and .338 Lapua Magnum: the latter is also referred to as the "AWSM" (Arctic Warfare Super Magnum) though this is not an official designation from the manufacturer. Folding stock versions are suffixed -F. | |||
The British military adopted three versions of the .338 Lapua Magnum version of the AWM, designated L115A1 through A3 and named "Long Range Rifle". The L115A1 LRR features a fixed stock, Parker-Hale bipods, and a 3-12x scope. The L115A2 is a slightly improved version with a AI bipod and a folding stock. The L115A3 LRR is a finalized improved version fitted with a threaded muzzle brake, suppressor, dark earth folding stock, butt spike, adjustable Harris bipod and Schmidt & Bender 5-25x56 PM II LP sight. The German Bundeswehr adopts a .300 Win Mag version equipped with a folding stock and Zeiss 3-12x56 SSG scope as the G22. | |||
An L115A3 was used by Cpl. Craig Harrison of the British Army to establish a new record distance for a confirmed kill shot in Afghanistan of 2,707 yards (2,475 m) in November 2009, surpassing the previous record held by a [[McMillan TAC-50]] fired by Cpl. Rob Furlong of the Canadian Armed Forces. This record was later certified by Guinness World Records. | |||

The Accuracy International Arctic Warfare series and variants can be seen in the following films, television series, video games, and anime used by the following actors:
Accuracy International Precision Marksman
The Accuracy International Precision Marksman (PM) is the progenitor for the Arctic Warfare series. Chambered in 7.62x51mm NATO, the PM was the winner of a British MoD competition in 1985 to replace the L42A1, and was adopted as the L96A1.
The Precision Marksman can be distinguished from later Arctic Warfare models by its lack of more modern features, such as its use of dovetail instead of Picatinny rails, lack of muzzle devices, fixed backup iron sights (though police barrels had no backup iron sights and had a special flash hider built into the barrel), lack of a finger cutout in the magazine well, and completely flat sides. Early PMs are fitted with a Schmidt & Bender 6x42 optic (designated L13), later replaced with the Schmidt & Bender 3-12x50 (designated L17A1) by the time of the Iraq War, the latter being taken off of the L118A1 Arctic Warfare rifles in British service at the time.

Accuracy International Arctic Warfare
The original Arctic Warfare is developed from the Precision Marksman, and the basis for the entire Arctic Warfare series that followed. Following Britain's adoption of the Precision Marksman, Sweden approached Accuracy International and requested for a sniper rifle like the L96A1 that would function well in arctic environments—hence the name "Arctic Warfare". The Arctic Warfare featured a whole package of improvements compared to the Precision Marksman, such as better furniture material, better scope, grasping tabs on the magazine, and the use of Picatinny rails instead of dovetail rails.
It is currently produced in .243 Win and 7.62x51mm NATO, and normally fitted with a 660mm (26") match grade barrel for accurate long range performance. The .243 Win has a 1 in 10 twist and the 7.62x51mm NATO has a 1 in 12. The 7.62x51mm NATO version AW is fitted with a muzzle brake which serves to reduce recoil and muzzle flip. The AW is normally supplied with a 10-round box magazine. Both versions are housed in either olive drab or black stock panels and black metalwork. Butt length can be adjusted by fitting spacers to suit the shooter.
This weapon is adopted as L118A1 (fixed stock) and L118A2 (folding stock) in the British military (in limited numbers by special forces), Psg 90 (Psg standing for Prickskyttegevär, or "Sniper Rifle") in the Swedish military, and SR98 in the Australian military, the SR98 variant featuring extra modifications like a threaded barrel and a free floating barrel.

Accuracy International Arctic Warfare Magnum
The AWM is based on the AW rifle with minimal changes to accommodate Magnum length cartridges. Its detachable box magazine holds 5 rounds. Normal calibers are .300 Winchester Magnum and .338 Lapua Magnum: the latter is also referred to as the "AWSM" (Arctic Warfare Super Magnum) though this is not an official designation from the manufacturer. Folding stock versions are suffixed -F.
The British military adopted three versions of the .338 Lapua Magnum version of the AWM, designated L115A1 through A3 and named "Long Range Rifle". The L115A1 LRR features a fixed stock, Parker-Hale bipods, and a 3-12x scope. The L115A2 is a slightly improved version with a AI bipod and a folding stock. The L115A3 LRR is a finalized improved version fitted with a threaded muzzle brake, suppressor, dark earth folding stock, butt spike, adjustable Harris bipod and Schmidt & Bender 5-25x56 PM II LP sight. The German Bundeswehr adopts a .300 Win Mag version equipped with a folding stock and Zeiss 3-12x56 SSG scope as the G22.
An L115A3 was used by Cpl. Craig Harrison of the British Army to establish a new record distance for a confirmed kill shot in Afghanistan of 2,707 yards (2,475 m) in November 2009, surpassing the previous record held by a McMillan TAC-50 fired by Cpl. Rob Furlong of the Canadian Armed Forces. This record was later certified by Guinness World Records.
