Hi guys, I have an Axis in 7-08 that I've remounted in a Boyd's stock and swapped out the trigger for a Timney.
Shooting Federal Fusion 140 grain and using my lead sled with about 20 lbs of weight is giving groups in the 2 -3" range. I've tried Barnes Vor-tx, Federal Power-Shok and Winchester factory loads too, all with the same results.
Have any of you that have the same rifle/caliber run into this situation and what did you do to get improved groups. My research showed that the Federal Fusion factory loads were the preferred choice. The rifle is still fairly new with only about 60 or so rounds down the tube.
I checked the base, ring and action screws and all are tight. It has a Vortex scope on it that I know is functioning properly that I took off another rifle.
Anyone else had a tempermental Axis like this in 7-08?
