[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3066803, member: 15054"] I have had a couple Savage .308 rifles the model 10 heavy barrel and yea they are good shooters but the Axis in .223 will out shoot them. Yea I said it..I have 2 of the Axis rifles in .223 and not accu trigger. Triggers are easy to tweak though. 2 different loads in my Axis the one it likes and the load my AR15 likes which printed low and right. That 3 shot .291" center to center includes cold bore shot.. Tasco 6-24x42 target varmint scope. [ATTACH=full]111538[/ATTACH] Need another. how about 400 yards. [ATTACH=full]111539[/ATTACH] Another. with different loads and this same load above in the group.. the same load above printed 3 shots at .800" center to center in the target below.. 2 bullets went into the same ragged hole. Toss stones at the Axis all you want.. yes the bolt is not as smooth as some guns..I care less though as it works and what I shoot at dies with 1 shot every time. I went hog and antlerless deer hunting the other day and I have many guns to choose from..I took the Axis in .223. I know what the 55gr Vmax does to hogs and deer and it is more accurate than my ruger American .308 and more accurate than my model 10 with accu trigger. Could be the .223 is just a very accurate round. I think the barrel with the tiny round does not whip as much as the .308" rounds. I love the Axis .223 i have. [ATTACH=full]111540[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
