The Accuracy International Arctic Warfare rifle is a family of bolt-action sniper rifles designed and manufactured by the Britishcompany Accuracy International. It has proved popular as a civilian, police and military rifle since its introduction in the 1980s.

Arctic Warfare rifles are generally outfitted with a Schmidt & Bender PM II ^[1] telescopic sight with fixed power of magnification or with variable magnification. Variable telescopic sights can be used if the operator wants more flexibility to shoot at varying ranges, or when a wide field of view is required. Accuracy International actively promotes fitting the German made Schmidt & Bender PM II/MILITARY MK II product line as sighting components on their rifles, which is rare for a rifle manufacturer. However, the German and Russian Armies preferred a telescopic sight made by Zeiss ^[2] over Accuracy International's preference.
