Mine is averaging .9 MOA out to 350 yds. (longest range I have access to right now) Better with longer/ heavier bullets. The .458 Axis is a bit tighter than my Marlin 45-70 guide gun, but not a good woods gun what with the long bull barrel, muzzle brake. Oddly, my AR .458 is shooting right with the bolt/lever guns, at shorter distances, but the direct impingement gas system just eats recoil, adjustable gas block is required as I'm getting recoil shy, in my old age...
