[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3953298, member: 15054"] A savage Axis .223 with 22" factory skinny barrel and regular trigger. I have hunted with this gun for years and 2.278" is the sweet spot for the 55 v-max in this rifle. It is the only rifle I have that has shot a 3 shot at .800" center to center at 300 yards. Same 55 V-max and same 2.278" OAL. 2.113" at 400 yards for 3 shots ..wind starting to act on these little pills. Those were with 26.0 gr. H4895 powder. These groups above in the pictures were with a very dirty barrel I have not cleaned this thing in a few hunting seasons but it still shoots good and does not cause erratic fliers. First Cold bore shot goes where the others are so I am not cleaning it until accuracy falls off to a certain point. Yea I know 3 shots. But it is a hunting rifle :) [/QUOTE]
