I can speak from experience... Doing anymore modification to the Axis is a major PITA (mostly because of the recoil lug setup and trigger assembly). I bought the PH and put in on my Axis 22-250. I had to pillar bed and glass bed the action to get the results I wanted (5 shots in a Nickel @ 100 yards). To glass bed the Axis action you have to remove the entire trigger assembly, bed it, and then put the trigger group back together after everything has dried and setup.
Will it shoot afterwards.... Absolutely!! It's just a matter of how much work and $ you want to put into it. I dropped a little over $1000.00 (including the initial purchase) to get my Axis to shoot the way I wanted (my Prairie dog gun) and will never come anywhere close to getting my $ back if I ever choose to sell it.
Do yourself a favor and start from a better platform for a build. Just my opinion though.
