Long time lurker, first time poster.
I purchased an Axis (.223) to assist my Izhmash Biathlon Basic 7-2 KO with coyote hunting duties. And to put it simply, I'm thrilled with the results I'm getting from the Axis. For the $250 spent on this rifle, the accuracy is impressive.
Just today I was experimenting with a new coyote hand load for the Axis and thought I'd share the results. Mind you, this is only the first attempt with reloads. Given the crosswind I was fighting and the less-than-optimal rest I was using, the results from 100 yards were excellent.
