So they are basically saying they want this:

Accuracy International Precision Rifles

Accurate. Rugged. Reliable. Accuracy International rifles are the systems of choice for military and law enforcement snipers and sporting users worldwide.

Setup per their specs with scope and bipod, it should come in under the weight limit with a small but safe margin. Why, its almost as if the specs were written around the rifle. That never happens.

Yeah, the Barrett MRAD/MK22 fits the spec also, but I think they would prefer the AI.
