I have a Axis heavy barrel in 223 and I like it. I don't notice the flex in the stock, that the ones with the sporter barrels have. I done the usual trigger modification and then started the search for a good load and came up with a 50 grain Nosler BT pushed with 22 grains of IMR 4198 , that gives me honest 1/2" groups if I do my part. I did notice that after I put a bi-pod on it my groups changed just a little but not much, it was easy to correct. I really like mine. The heavy barrel is worth the extra bucks.
