It's not always about which is "better"...better to one person might not be better for the next person. For me, my Axis 300BO was built as a light weight subsonic/suppressed PA whitetail rifle. We are not allowed to hunt with semi auto rifles, so it's shotgun or bolt action in PA. I like my Axis because it's compact and light even with my TBAC on the end of it.

I don't see the point of having a 308 case when I want to load subsonic to hunt with suppressor.
