The AE rifle is the latest development of the famous Accuracy International (AI) company of Great Britain. The AE is a "value" version of the famous AW and AWP (Arctic Warfare and Arctic Warfare Police) sniper rifles made by AI, since for most police situations the full compliance to the strict military standards is not required. For example, police rifles usually are far less exposed to bad weather and other elements, they rarely are carried in the field for days and weeks without proper maintenance and so on. And most police tactical situations rarely require the shooting beyond, say, 500 - 600 meters. So, having the said in mind, AI designers developed the AE rifle, which, being similar in design and quality to elder AI models, is almost two times cheaper to come by, than AW and AWP models. AE available in only one configuration (no other calibers and/or barrel lengths are offered at this moment). The claimed effective range for this rifle is 600 meters.

AE rifle is built around the same proprietary AI chassis system, that features a full length aluminum alloy backbone with hollow stock, made from two polymer halves and bolted onto the backbone. The receiver is made from steel and is mounted to the chassis in the V-shaped slot. The heavy barrel is free floated for maximum accuracy. It features same 3 lugs bolt with 60 degrees locking and a two-stage adjustable trigger. The buttstock is adjustable only for length of pull by the means of the butt-spacers. There's no open sights, instead the Mil-Std rail is mounted at the top of the receiver. As a standard this rifle is equipped with 5 rounds box magazines, 8 rounds magazines are optional
