Just goes to show that a good shooter can make anything shoot well! Great shooting. With the modifications you've made to your axis it doesn't surprise me. I've always said it's all in the quality of the barrel and the shooter more so than in the action used.

Also the quality an consistency of the ammo created.

Wow! Throw out the flier and that is nearly .1MOA. I'm unfamiliar with this competition- is it prone off a rifle rest?

Amazing shooting! From the chair to the muzzle, all part of the system were working perfectly.

Were those the 115gr or 105gr Berger VLD hunting bullets? I cooked up what appeared to be an astonishingly tight-shooting load with 115gr bullet in my .243 Winchester, but I've yet to put it through the wringer.

I have no pictures to prove yet but I shot mine scoped for the first time Sunday and first 3 shots from about 75 yrds were all touching and was less than a half inch low of the bullseye. This was the first time I ever shot a .308 and this was after being boresighted with one of those cheap laser pointers. I'm more than happy with the results. I'll get some proof pics one of these days. We got a little sidetracked with blowing up hedgeapples that day to worry about groups...Lol.

Yup, Fred did the action and the stock. (After mine I made cracked in the bolt area.) The Barrel is a Pre-fit Shilen from NSS. Weaver t36 scope.
I could only see the stray shot in the scope, so I new the other shots was in the blue. When the target came back I heard some commotion, and I thought "wow some one shot a good group." Then I had a few people come over and shake my hand and say "good shooting Pat." I then went over to the wailing wall, and my jaw dropped when I saw my target. It was truly a magic moment.

Tell me more about the stock... I'm thinking of getting an axis but the lack of options for stocks is deterring me.

SSS has a variety of stocks for the axis actions. The stock I have is a 3 in wide forearm dog tracker Benchrest stock.

Ho, hum. I have 2 Axis rifles, .223 and .270, both unmodified except for the ballpoint-pen trigger spring conversion. Both shoot like that. Downright boring ;).

Pisgah, what the HECK are you talking about, "Ho, hum"??!! Pat's was a sensational group that NO one shoots regularly, not even Pat! Take another look. That group was not at 100 yards. :)

"Ho, hum" indeed! :)

Geez, whatever happened to an appreciation of irony? Did you miss the "wink"?

Oops.
Yep.
That one flew right over my head like a 747 :)

Oh, well. Now you know what my wife has to deal with sometimes.
