[QUOTE="DaveB, post: 5758137, member: 5958"] I have an Axis 0 in 7mm08 and a II in 223. Both are crazy accurate, the 0 required spring cutting and a laminated stock. Factory stock flexed like a rubber band and the trigger pull was over 12 pounds. The II is one of most accurate rifles I have ever seen. Blasts over-max 223 loads into cloverleaf hole at 100 yards. Cost for II was around 160 after big rebate. I have a Rem 700 243 from mid-1980's that is just fatal to deer. Its a cheap ADL model and has over 1500 max loads down the tube and still shooting lights out. If you can find one..... The action on the Axis rifles leaves a lot to be desired as does the stocks. Cannot beat them accuracy-wise tho. Get a Boyds stock. mess with the trigger spring. I have a 783 in 270. It is surprisingly not as accurate as I had hoped for. Still screwing around looking for a load that will shoot consistent into less than 2 inches. Put it in a Boyd's...slight improvement. Be sure you look down the barrel or have someone trained do so. Don't try an X-Bolt. You will go home with one. Ask Mr. RUGER. [/QUOTE]
