POS as compared with what? And what Facebook page is this?

[blink]

was going to copy/paste the discussion but it appears the post was deleted by admin for "bashing" violation.
it basically said the axis was at best worth $250 new and a disposable gun after 1000 rounds,better off to get something will last.
i guess there was no mention of accuracy.....but i put it out there anyway.

it will be an outdoor event.just hoping the weather and days off agree with each other,if not it could be a long wait.:confused:
hopefully sooner rather than later,i enjoy shooting and haven't been out in months!

I haven't been on here very much in recent months due to things going on with an ill family member but I just gotta chime in here.

Tell your facebook buddy to kiss my Axis.
My 25.06 has well over 3500 rounds thru the action, has been 4 different calibers over the past 5 years (without spending $$$ on a gunsmith) and will out shoot most any bolt gun - maybe exclusive of high dollar bench rest guns.
Speaking of cost, about $1000 including the Vortex Viper scope.

And the bolt is just as miserably tight as the day I bought it.

I kinda wish there was a way to get it to you for your shoot off. With my rifle and if we could get Dean (scope eye) to contribute some of his ultra high velocity home rolled ammo, you'd have this facebook twit kissing your shoes.

Maybe we'll use my accuracy tuned ammo instead of Dean's ammo. I don't want the chamber & first 3 inches of my barrel burned out.

Well, don't fall into the one lucky wallet group shoot off trap, make it a 25 shot agg, 5 targets, 5 shots each, smallest overall agg wins the rubber stogie. Oh, also make sure its a head's up shoot off , all out of the box rifles, no bedding, after market barrels, tweaks and etc.

Why?

A few of us old goats get together at the range Monday mornings to shoot.....our rifles too!:p One guy shoots a Cooper in 243, all factory ammo of one flavor or another. One morning he pounded his chest, puffed out his chest losing three buttons off his shirt...."Look at this group", a nice little 5 shot 100 yard bughole. The only problem, he hadn't shot a bughole group before...or since! It was a one time and done affair.

Anyone can get lucky on any given day and shoot a screamer, but to be lucky consistently is the challenge. Make it a 25 shot agg, you may deflate a few egos.
