Re: SAVAGE AXIS 243 youth
Nice! My .223 shoots that good as well. Hopefully the .30-06 I have on order will do the same.
Did you do the trigger job on this one or is this as-is out of the box?
Re: SAVAGE AXIS 243 youth
My Axis in 25-06 prefers the 75 Vmax as well. One thing I noticed with it though is it realy likes cold weather! Dont know if it the stock,powder, barrel or a combination of all three but changeing powders didnt help and letting the barrel cool between shots when its warm only helped a little. have yet to move the bipod stud back on the stock but hopeing that helps with groups and muzzle jump?

Re: SAVAGE AXIS 243 youth
Well. Looks like I need to get youth models . 13" is a good lop. ..from your chronograph results your getting enough speed . Have you tried it with any of the 90-105 grain bullets . ??

Re: SAVAGE AXIS 243 youth
Nice shooting!! I bought both of Axis rifles in the youth model because I didn't like the 14 1/4 in LOP on the standard Axis either. I'm 5' 10" with a long reach and I think the youth model fits perfect.
Re: SAVAGE AXIS 243 youth
Update
Today was the second try to reach my 3260fps with the 75gr.
after last week shooting, my tought of 41.0gr of imr-4320 was bang-on
