Thank you all for the information regarding the Axis vs the Mossberg. I'm going to pick up my Axis this week and I will be at the range bright and early Saturday. This is going to be my first new centerfire rifle. Prior to that I only shot military surplus rifles.

My first questions is do I need to run though a barrel break procedure? Would this be the proper procedure?

fire single shot the clean. Do it five times

Then do a 5 shot group then clean. do this until 50 round have been shot.
