MrFurious your build looks great as it was the first in the Pro Hunter stock. I haven't finished up the final details on mine yet, but I'm quite happy with the way it has come along.

Mine is a very standard rig for hunting. Axis in .223.

No I haven't. My reloading equipment has been boxed up most of the summer (and still is) due to a remodeling project. Hard to setup your reloading equipment when your shiney new reloading area still doesn't have a work top. LOL I'm also waiting on a replacement upper cabinet since the first one they sent me was damaged. Hopefully those two things will both be resolved in another week or two.

Can't upload images to the forum, they have to be hosted on another site like PhotoBucket and you post the IMG code they provide here.

I assume we'll start seeing more pictures in this week as the Boyd's stocks start hitting the streets. This thread will hopefully turn into a one stop shop for all the configurations that people will come up with for their Axis rigs. I myself will have another new item to show off hopefully by this weekend time frame!

Hey fellas, this is my first post. I've only had my Axis for a few months. I bought the .223 threaded (SR) version a while back. I was initially disappointed with the accuracy, but in defense of the Axis, I was shooting the cheap 55 grain stuff. I started hand loading to see if that would help, starting out with 65 grain Sierra Gameking bullets. The accuracy on this rifle is pretty good now. It is shooting under MOA at 100 yards. I worked on the trigger early on and got it down to 2 lbs 5 oz, but wanted better. I decided to invest in the Basix trigger, which got me down to just under 1 1/2 lbs and passing the safe tests.

I have been following Lonewolf's build and I might pull the trigger on the Sharp Shooter Supply (SSS) stock soon. For those that have the SSS stock, did it come with swivel studs, or did you install them? Do you use the factory recoil lug, or does one come with the SSS stock?

Anyway, here is a pic of mine as it is. The flash suppressor I put on for looks. I took it off later, but may put it back on if I can verify it doesn't negatively impact accuracy.

I moved the factory recoil lug and sling swivel studs from the factory stock to my ProHunter Stock. Took a few minutes to reinstall them. I drill a hole smaller than the threads on the studs but no deeper than required and screw them in!

[J.Baker]

Just an FYI, in another month or so I will probably move this entire thread to the Pictures Post board where it should be. I'll leave it here in the meantime to get the ball rolling as all the new stock pic's start rolling in.

Lonewolf, you need to empty some PM's in your inbox.
