No no Dave, you gave me all the info I needed, I just read it too fast n didn’t really put it all together lol. I was getting the 48400 rail anyway, I just called Weaver to find out what was different about the two. It’s been a bit of a roller coaster with this rifle, I assumed it would fit in like the others but not yet anyways. Looking very forward to getting this all sorted out and solving my coyote problem. Thanks again!Originally Posted by Dave Hoback
Quick question on a related note.
I have an Axis 2 stainless XP in 223 (love this rifle). I upgraded it a tad over the years with a wood stock and switched to a one piece rail.
Recently just purchased a bare bones Axis 2 in 30-06 (still waiting for it to ship). From my understanding my original two piece rail mounts from my .223 should bolt right up to this new rifle. Will likley get a one rail for it as well eventually but for now just want to get a scope mounted to try rifle and check its accuracy before I drop any $$$ on it. Am I correct in this assumption?
That is always a good plan. Patience is a virtue, afterall.
I'd still be using the two piece if any of my scope bodies were long enough. I don't really like the extended scope rings so a rail was my only realistic option.
Same here, my scope isn’t long enough to fit comfortably with the two piece bases. New rifle new feel, but I just can’t seem to get comfortable with this one yet. I really like this rifle however.
Meaning?? Scope too far forward or back?
Too far forward Dave, when I slide it back it touches the objective bell, so I moved it forward just a hair in order to not touch. It works, but I find I need to lean more into it to see clearly.
What year is your 223? If it’s after 2021, I don’t see why not?
