Timney's are pretty good. I was not overwhelmed with it compared to a very simple trigger mod I did previously and went back to the modded factory trigger.
Depending on what style of Boyd's stock you're after, I know the Tacticool has enough meat on the forearm to be opened up with sandpaper on a round object of some sort. It took me about half an hour with 60 grit backed by a 1 inch steel rod, but others have used deep well sockets to good effect. Basically sand a bit, check the channel, sand some more, check again, etc.
I think a lot of us use EGW (Evolution Gun Works) rails, partly because there aren't too many options out there. They make a 20MOA rail as well, which might be called for if 800yd is your minimum range.
Aftermarket bolt handles are not available for the Axis, so the only options are to have the factory handle modded or, far more contentiously, try a 1X/11X bolt handle, which will fit an Axis bolt body but will not provide primary extraction. At least one guy tried it on a .223 Axis and found it worked even without primary extraction, but smarter money in the long run is on a Axis bolt handle in my opinion. A couple people here have tapped the bolt in a number of ways to attach a knob, I and a few other cast a knob out of epoxy in situ. Still, whatever knob you use is going to be predicated by your scope's bell size and height.
