The short version is that, due to bypass surgery I have sold my 110 7mm mag and am replacing it with an Axis .234 and, later this year, a 7-08 (in case if..). I know the butt is hollow, but I've never owned and Axis. Can the butt be shortened? If so, what's involved? How can I add a little weight to the butt? If not, how would you rate Boyd's for a replacement?
