I have a LOT of Savage rifles. Believe it or not, I have 12 Axis models............ I have 4 of the "HB" models that shoot fantasatic. The calibers are :
300 AAC, 223 AI HB, 22-250 AI HB, and A 243 Win AI HB. I built the 300 AAC with a customer Skinner bbl.
I also have 8 other Axis rifles. Can you tell I love''em?????? I have a machine shop and do all of my bbl and rechambering work. It is SO easy........
I even built my own wildcat. It's a 204 Ruger expapded to .224 and reamed out the body taper and shoulder angle of a long .221 Fireball (40 degree).
Why? I'm retired, have a great shop, lots of time and private ranges,,,,,,Plus a bunch of new "take off bbls" to play with.
OK here's my question..... The only HB Axis I don't have is the HB Axis in 308.
I cannot leave ANYTHING alone! If I were to buy the Axis HB in 308, I would want to immediately rechamber it into 308 Win AI. PT&G has the reamer.
Therein lies the problem..... Not much out there on a 308 AI. However it would be fun.
My employer / best buddy bought a Barrett M107A1 .50 BMG just "because". Yes, he has that kind of money.
This week,I told him a new Springfield Armory M1A (the one with the Archangle stock)would be just perfect to fill in the voids in his gun collection.
He's not a gun guy and has no clue how his safes are being filled.....I have 'cart blanche' to buy any and all ammo I feel needed. How's 1,000 rounds of 50 bmg AT $6 A POP?????
Sorry to get off track. I know the chamber reamers are available, just never heard much about the 308 Win AI.........
Any help
