I dig the camo job.

And, NO, I still haven't tried to do one yet.

Have you fired it with the barrel ports already? How much difference in the recoil with & without? Just curious.

Otherwise, lookin' good.

the camo was alot easier then i thought it wound of been

and as far as the port yes it helps alot but people at the range will hate you, but i didnt care lol

Nice job.

Camo is easy, getting the nerve to rattle can your gun is the hard part.

yea the rattle can was hard to do,. but i figured whats the worst that can happen, i got a boyds coming one day lol

So, you're telling me the brake is cut to annoy the guys next to you at the range?

Cool.
All my 30 cal rifles have a brake with the ports aiming back & away. Just the way I like 'em.

lol that and it helps when i hunt too lol

Looks good.

Welcome to your new addiction. Enjoy it in good health.

Thats probably the best looking Axis still in a tuperware stock that I've seen!

thanks lonewolf so far i love it but i didnt like the way to stock flexed so i did the work to it and boom its alot nicer

Looks great,is that the 6-18x44AO vortex? If it is, what height rings are those? Im kinda looking at that scope.

rsh4364 yep thats a 6x18 with a set ofWeaver Tactical Six-Hole Weaver-Style Rings

i got from gander moution

It looks great.

Hate to be a pita,but is that a 0MOA or 20MOA EGW mount,also do you recall what height the rings are?

lol np its a medium ring and a 0 mao egw mount

and the bolt know barely misses the scope just a fyi

I have the same gun. Love it. Have not changed the trigger or the the barrel yet. Did you do the break yourself or a a gun shop

I did do my camp my self . I used me air brush and that was easy to do. I only put on a Leopold 3x9x40 on it with a two peace hold. And Leopold scope clamps.
