of 6.5 Creedmor. Curious what I could expect with proper care and letting the barrel cool between shots. I thought maybe that caliber was a fad but it actually looks pretty good on paper and there some very desirble features with it. Thinking about another Axis.
Have an Axis 6.5CM...built two for youth elk hunts last coupe of years. I like mine. The two used on elk hunts are 3 for 3...all over 250yards.
The precision shooters running them hot and fast seem to be getting ~2500 rounds before they become minute of deer. I suspect you can get well over that with some proper care...
Oh MAN! AT LEAST 15K.. 20K rounds! While pushing 140, 147, 150gr pills even, at almost 3000fps! And if next month a 158gr bullet comes out, it will send those at the same velocity! Also, of course STILL delivering sub 1/4” MOA. LOL!
Hahahaha.. No, seriously, I agree with above. 2500rds on good terms. Expect less with maxed out loads.
How are they for recoil? I really don't like something that is hard to shoot.
I don't either. On the OEM stock my Axis was 243'sh.How are they for recoil? I really don't like something that is hard to shoot.
