Some of you may remember right before Christmas I found an Axis HB camo with the accutrigger at Walmart for $420 w/$50 rebate. I got to the range last weekend and got it sighted in and I'm extremely pleased. It has the stock Bushnell Sharpshooter scope on it still and eventually I'll replace it but it will do for now. The range was only 50 yards until the longer range units thaw out this spring but even at 100 yards its still shooting MOA. Shot HSM 50 grain using the Berger flat base bullet. Both pics are 5 shot groups and the other 3 groups I didnt take pics of are all about the same size.

It looks like 3 shots but I promise it's 5.

I keep thinking to myself that a $400 rifle/cheap scope combo shouldnt shoot that well.....even at 50yrds :o
