Reply With QuoteNice. I have an axis in 308 and it sure does kick you pretty good, especially with those 178's. That lightweight sure is nice, but does nothing to help with recoil.
Back from the range
After sighting in my ought6 Axis last month my shoulder was somewhat sore. So I came home and made some changes. I added a Witt muzzle break and filled the butt with resin, steel shot, and bondo. I then added resin to the fore stock and floated the barrel. I went to the range today and fired 20 rnds. I was 3 moa high from when I shot before the mods. Zeroed it back in and shot some nice groups. It made a world of difference. Nice soft shooter now. FWIW I also did the spring swap on the trigger. I would recommend the Witt break to anyone wanting an affordable MB. This was at 100yrds. I plan on going out to its limit which i think will be around 300 with the flimsy stock and current scope.
EDIT: I was shooting from a bench using bipod and no sandbags or rear support. shot MOA and slightly over using 150gr WWB.
