i am wanting to do a build on an axis even though there are only a handful of aftermarket parts for them. so i would like to see if any of you have done rebarrel jobs or how far you have gone with customizing your axis. just to help me decide what i might like to do to mine....... Thinking of a axis with a 20 inch tube chambered in 338 federal in schillen 0 taper. should be able to have one of the lightest rifles in camp.
Give me a month - maybe two and mine should be ready to show off. I know Bob has a few to show off, as does Frank and a few others here.
interesting little riffles but i would want to change the way the recoil lug is done from factory.
Here is my $30 Doller Savage Edge XP it came with a scope and ammo. I traded a BX-25 mag for it. He shot it 4 times lol. Sorry mine is all stock.

Here is my two Axis. Black barrel started life as a 30-06, I installed a Savage 10 (don't have the exact model number) 308 heavy barrel. Stainless barrel is a 223 with a model 12 barrel. 223 shoot great, 308 is yet to be tested. All 3 stocks were made by me, all 3 are pillar bedded with Devcon, I have the same EGW 20 moa base on the 2 actions, so switching scopes is easy.

Nice job on the stocks. Bet they are all tack drivers!!

Still working on mine, It`s a .223. So far, I`ve shortened the barrel to 19 1/4 inches, added a bolt Knob, lightened the trigger pull and now I`m working on a new stock
Are you using the factory magazine in any of those stocks? BTW, Beautiful workQuote:

Very cool Gerard! You would think someone would take notice the pains people go through to get a nicely stocked Axis....
Seriously where did you get those stocks?Quote:

This is my first attempt to make a rifle stock. Stock is made from Russian birch plywood,that`s where the layers of grain come from. Slow going but the duplicator helped a lot for the inletting.The duplicator is easier to build than the stock. If anyone here wants pics of how the duplicator is set up,you are more than welcome. IT would be really easy for anyone into woodworking to build it. the outside of the stock can also be shaped with the duplicator but I didn`t use it because I made mine a different shape than the axis
good job boss
Here are a few more pics of stock build

Yep, It`s an N scale layout, lighted buildings and street lights, all led lights. Now that it`s finished, a lot of the fun is gone.Quote:
