The Axis is a good rifle with a trio of weaknesses. First and foremost, the trigger will probably be gritty and heavy. Second, the stock is very flexy. This is not a problem for most hunting situations, but I would be afraid to put a bipod on the stock without some kind of reinforcement. Third, the package scope is bottom of the line. Overall, I think the Axis is a good rifle. Accuracy is usually stellar. Instead of buying the package gu, I would recommend buying the $278 Axis and installing a better scope. The trigger can be tuned by watching Youtube videos and checking the articles on modifications on here. You might want to check out the Ruger American Rifle. It has a price slightly higher than the Axis, but has a better stock and trigger.
