Axis .308 accuracy

[daddyusmaximus]

I had my .308 Axis out over turkey day break. It was the second outing for it. I couldn't find a screw to fit the trigger. I was gonna try the ink pen spring. Took a chance and took 1.5 coils off the factory trigger spring. BIG difference. Still waiting on my new Boyd's stock, so I'll hold off on further trigger mods until I get it in a more solid stock. I feel you on that recoil issue. This gun is so light weight it kicks more than my Mosin.

Now have mine dialed in. I clipped off another half a coil making 1 and a half total. The trigger pull is now perfect. Inch and a half groups at 200yds. No more getting jerked around.

I want to be able to zero my Axis on the indoor range in this cold weather so I will have to spend less time out in the cold when I go to 100 yds. Anybody know just how bad the temperature change is going to screw up this idea? Just looking to still be on paper at this point. Also, where does my shot need to be with the .308 @ 25 yds, to put it close @ 100 yds?

I have no idea on how to get a good measurement of how high the scope is. I'll be using PMC Bronze 150 gn FMJ. Like I said, just looking to still be on paper @ 100. From what I've been able to tell by the internet ballistic tables, If I get zeroed @ 25 yds, I will be 2 or 3 inches high @ 100, but that's good enough for me until I can spend more time on the outdoor range.
