If you epoxied the trigger housing in place, is there any reason to remove it in the future for service, repairs, modifications, hide money, etc?.....

I laid a piece of flat stock in the bottom of the stock & epoxied it in place. It extends in toward the reciever as far as it could without interfering with the butt pad. That made quite a difference.

Took the twist right out of it & added some counter weight to offset the rods & epoxy I put in the fore end. I also had to take out quite a bit of material from the barrel area to float it. It was very tight.

All in all, I'm pretty impressed with the Edge / Axis. I just got mine & shot it today for the first time. I'd be doing a load workup if it wasn't for the strong winds today.

For a little money & a little work, a person can have a fairly decent rifle
