Searching the forums didn't yield a definitive answer, so I'll just ask.

Would buying an Axis / Axis II as a "donor" rifle for the inexpensive action be a bad idea? I'm thinking of building something basic that I can switch calibers with. I'm thinking of some 6mm and 6.5mm calibers, both normal (243 AI / 6BR / 6XC) and perhaps short magnum (something like 270 WSM necked down to 6.5mm). If the Axis action would be bad, is it because the action is a bit weak or is it because the parts / gunsmithing options are limited for Axis?
