I honestly think my little Axis is as accurate as my much higher priced Model 12 heavy barrel. I was unhappy with it the way it didn't seem to shoot the lighter bullets well but I was trying to seat them very close to the lands. I seat everything at 2.26" OAL length now and it shoots them just fine. I am pretty sure the gun is more accurate than I am but 3/8-3/4" is about what I normally do, most often 1/2" to 5/8". I think with a good marksman it could consistently below 1/2" but I am not the best. For $300 and nothing done to it except a varmint trigger from a 110 trigger and adding a little weight to make it more stable I think it is pretty good value. These bullets I am shooting now are also about 2/3 of the cost of what I thought I had to have to shoot accurately before I changed the OAL on everything.
