Of course this is with a laminated stock
Ive got a bone stock Axis that I want to throw a small shank 22-250 varmint barrel on and was wondering if anyone has done this and how it looks. Pics would be aprreciated but I just want to know if it can be done and look good or if I should just resist my urge to tinker and leave it alone. Thanks in advance.
Of course this is with a laminated stock
that's a pretty sweet looking Axis!
where did you find the stock ?
If your lucky enough to live in the BIG woods your lucky enough
I make them myself
Ive been shooting a 6 brx+ for about 4 months now .Like Bob i made my own stock.The action has been very easy to work with. This axis (6brx+) is single shot.I do have many target ( win 70 style tagret ) walnut & hardwood stocks that fit the axis .they are single shot but could be made repeaters with a blind mag.they have palm swell ,adjust butt pad and forearm rail.sorry for rambling on ,the axis is easily adaptable to target shooting considering it low price,ive been using sav precision actions since they came out,dont get me wrong that precision action is FANTASTIC.i have not used a custom action since. Doctor walked in gotta go

Bob. What kind of optics are on that rifle?
couple of savages
It was an el-cheapo Vector scope, but I installed my vortex crossfire 8-32 on it last week
post is worth less with no pictures :)
thats what i thought it looked like the leupold knock off how was it? honest opinions??
couple of savages
It was ok for 100 yards or hunting (it will go on my hunting Lee Enfield), but I want to shoot long range and needed better adjustments
Will somebody please answer the question as asked, "Can a Factory Axis stock made to work with a heavy barrel?" Its not about makeing a aftermarket lam stock or what scope that somebody is useing.
Thanks, it was good seeing you also ,i was comparing the 6cm chamber prints to the reamers i have,ican chamber your next project IF you dont mind a 40 degree sholder.On the tat. 308 the barrel i thought was 1/12 is NOT it is 1/10 sorry,
Stay well and GOD BLESS,GARY
I don't think you can. When you remove the plastic to fit the barrel, there will not be enough structural integrity left in the foreend, and you will not be able to rest the stock on anything for support. Unless you put arrow shaft in there, as someone can do to help getting the foreend stifferOriginally Posted by Fat Albert
Sorry,back to the stock question .i have successfully used a one inch steel shaft heated in a bbq grill and placed in the barrel channel, some probably the thin axis stock can be done with a 1" rod inserted in channel then use a heat gun to gently warm the plastic while pressing the 1" rod down. This procedure will only spread the sides out . I have not done the axis yet,i have done many mossbergs atr. The plastics seem similar.
Good luck,Gary
For a stock, would one of the HS precision stocks not do ? http://www.stockysstocks.com/servlet...e-stock/DetailCurrently $322.74 at Stockys (mostly sold out but can be back ordered at that price).
Lets face it, where can you buy a functioning rifle for just over $300, then sell the take off barrel and tupperware stock for a few $, then add a custom stock and match barrel for about $600 (total price well under $900) ?. It all depends on whether anyone is running specials om model 10's and model 12's I guess. I lucked into a stainless 12 for just over $700 with the laminated stock, but it lists for over $1000. And they have been sold out for months too. Now the barrel on mine is not a lapped match barrel, but just a good factory barrel. I could probably add a Shaw barrel within the $900 budget, but will probably wait for a Shilen or Lilja. That wait is getting darn long too.
I have a savage axis 308 that I want to put a heavy barrel and muzzle break, but I will need to change the stock. Does any one know where I can get a stock ?
Good luck sold my last one today,heard of a friend of mine who is making walnut m-70 marksman style stocks for the axis
