I have a heavy Douglas barrel for a 30-06 AI build. I haven't had any luck finding an old school 110 for this build. Lots of newer stuff - with higher prices! The local pawn shop has an Axis for $260 in 30-06.
Tell me about the Axis.
Other than - "they are ugly" - how do they shoot at distance?? I don't shoot in any competition but would like to go to 1000yds with this.
Are there 20 MOA bases for the Axis?
Aftermarket triggers?
I am assuming the thread pitch on the barrel is the same as a small shank 110.

What are the down sides (cosmetics and resale value excluded) of building on an Axis vs. a 110?
