I just got an Axis II XP in .223 last week and had a chance to take it to the range earlier this week. The shop claimed that the scope had already been bore sighted, but the first 8 rounds down the pipe weren't even close. Had a range officer spot me and at 50 yards I was shooting way off to the right! So I pulled the bolt and bore-sighted the scope myself (first time for me but it wasn't hard at all) and to my surprise my first shot missed the middle of the bull by only about 3/4". Not bad! The second shot touched the first. Wow! And the third went through the same hole as the first. Oh my gosh! What a shooter! I've circled my first 4 in the photo below. I'm using American Eagle 55 grain and shooting off sand bags.
The rest of my groups weren't anything special. Not sure if it's the guy behind the gun, the flexy plastic stock, the scope, the ammo, or the fact that the wind started to pick up. Or maybe all of those things combined. But one thing is for sure, this rifle is capable of very good accuracy.
