New Axis Shooter Here!

[japollner]

I've been lurking for a while reading up and finally pulled the trigger and picked up an Axis in .308 today.

Going to be using her mostly as a hunting rifle and for putting holes in paper from far away. Trigger and stock are in the cards and eventually a slightly heavier profile barrel. I'll keep the stock Bushnell for now and upgrade it a bit later! Can't wait to be a regular part of the board!

Welcome to your new addiction.

I don't see any AK or SKS in the arsenal but I do see a Mosin.

I guess we can let you play.

But you have to buy 1st round.

Welcome to the wonderful world of the ever evolving inexpensive rifle...

As Frank said. Welcome to your new addiction! Let me know if you have any questions about the Axis. I have modified pretty much every last part of mine!

Welcome. Can't hold back on an Axis myself. Just hear nothing but good on them. Maybe this week, 243 stainless I'm thinkin.

I'm a new axis owner myself. Like you I've done quite a bit of reading up on them and just couldn't stand it anymore so I had to go buy one. Mines a stainless .223 with a Boyd's stock on the way. I'm going to have some fun with it at the range and maybe eventually put a 6x45 barrel on it. I've already done the trigger spring mod and some polishing on the trigger and sear. Can't wait for the Boyd's stock to get here.

Steve, did you do the pepper stock on that Axis 223? I saw a stainless axis in a pepper boyds, the grays really complimented each other.

Yea I ordered a Prairie Hunter in Pepper with stippling pattern #1
