Axises and Trophy Hunters use the same magazines, which are the plastic-bottom mags that are not too popular. I doubt you'll see much difference in the performance of the barrels between the product lines. The profiles look identical, though I haven't had one from each line in the same chambering to compare. Still, the tubes are of the same manufacture just with different model names engraved thereupon. The injection molded stocks are pretty close to being a wash, but I think the Trophy Hunter is a bit stiffer.
