Old age is a high price to pay for maturity!!! Some never pay and some pay and never reap the reward. Wisdom comes with age! Sometimes age comes alone..

This was moving the scope around on a .223 on an Axis. The pairs are close anyways. Its two, two and three shots.

Here is an Axis II with the Weaver scope. 270 win with 150 Nosler Partitions. Four shots.

Neither one of these has an accutrigger. The .223 has a very heavy trigger pull but the 270 is just heavy.

Bought an Axis .223 when it was called the Edge. Found it decently accurate out of the box....so to speak. Very heavy trigger pull (6 lbs or more) that I would lighten by replacing its spring. Now you can buy a Rifle Baxic trigger for it. Now the Axis is available with the accro-trigger.

Extraction of fired brass kinda poor on mine. Need a fast pull on bolt to throw brass out of receiver. With a slow pull on bolt, brass will fall off bolt face and stay in the receiver.

Another problem I encountered was the movement of my scope cross hair upward (about 1/2" on a 100 yd target) when pulling the trigger shooting from benchrest. A couple of other gents at range will try the rifle using their bench rest equipment and notice the same movement of crosshair. The plastic stock of the Axis flexed in the wrist area behind the trigger guard when pulling the trigger was the problem. This problem went away when I made a wood stock for the rifle. Now you can buy a Boyd's stock for it. Remember when Boyd's did a survey on a number of gunsites about what rifles they needed to make stocks for. Chuckle, the Axis was the easy winner of the survey.
