How much $$$ did you put into your Axis

[22BVGord]

Started with a stainless Axis and it has been in the "project state" since April last year. Ordered a pepper laminate Boyd's stock last April and have been working at it on and off since. Unlike my Mark 11 Boyd's, this stock was not a very good fit at all so it has been a frustrating, not to mention a learning, experience. Finally, and with the help of/conversations with a number of people on this forum, I decided to drill the new stock and go with pillars (lamp rod & probably will bed them in place when all is well). The biggest challenge was to get the two pillars cut to the right size and with proper length action bolts so that everything functioned 100%. Long story short - the new stock is on and snugged down nicely, the barrel is floating, the safety is functioning properly, it passed the bump test etc., and the trigger is about #3.6. Went to the range today and had it grouping within a quarter just over the bulls eye at 50 yds. Fine for now.

Cost (CA): Stainless .243 $350
Boyd's Stock 165
Boyd's Stainless Trigger guard 15
Weaver Bases 10

I like the Firefly reticle. There is a small, clear circle in the middle with fine cross hairs. The outside cross hairs a quite thick but combined it finds the target very quickly. 10 seconds of flashlight is enough to get the outside cross hairs to glow green so it will work in low light. Not sure how long "one lighting" will last but at least it is not battery operated. The light from a bore scope is not bright enough light up the reticle - it requires a flashlight.
