Axis .223 accuracy 100 yards - picture

[marq]

Hi guys,

I don't post here much, but I thought I'd share a target picture today. Had my Axis .223 out at the 100 yard line, shooting from a target bench on a bipod. It's not a clean target, I had to do 3 different scope adjustments to get it zeroed. I hadn't shot it in almost a year. Clearly, the gun is more accurate than I am and shoots tight groups.

Axis .223 1st gen threaded barrel
UTG 8" bipod
Tasco Varmint 6-24x44 scope

Obviously UTG and Tasco aren't quality names, but all I really do is bench shoot this gun. I wouldn't try to convince anyone to buy the Tasco varmint scope over another brand, but if you're looking for something cheap that can see holes in target from quite a ways out, maybe give it a look? I could see the holes in this target without having to leave the bench, which was nice.

*for some reason, the picture is turned 90 degrees counter clockwise. I can't get it to load the correct way, sorry.

Looking good I'm sure with a few adjustments you'll have yourself a real shooter.

Love my .223 axis, did the trigger spring, right at 3 # pull. Nikon 3x9 prostaff shoots awesome in my world. Hoping to get Boyds stock but can't decide which one.

I have the shorter Barrel Axis .223. I have only shot it with included Bushnell 3X9. I have mounted a cheap 4X16 Centerpoint but not sighted in it yet. I think later this year I will step up to a Primary Arms 4-16 or a Nikon 223 scope.

NIkon Prostaff goes on sale alot. Just saw the 3x9x40 for $149.00
