All Right Then, I finally finished up the first 2 pistol caliber, rifle length, barrels for my long suffering AXIS.

First up, 22 TCM in a "take off" Remington Sendaro S/S fluted, 21 inch.
Then a 7.62 X 25 in a "shot out" Ruger # 1 heavy barrel 22.6 inch.

With a 3 X 9 Weaver in place, on 2 piece mounts and the factory POS plastic stock. I set off for the 50 yard line.

The target below shows the first two 5 round groups for both, as well as the "sighters"

Seeing the "first time out" results, I think both of 'em are gonna be shooters.
The 7.62 was shot with Polish sub gun surplus ammo, 22 TCM was shot with RIA factory rounds.

With the stock .223 pencil barrel, and some smooth trigger work, the new kid was hovering around 1/2 MOA with a few wide flyers and some "clear off the paper" @ 100 Yd. tosses. (I blame that on the stock and the sun in my eyes...)

A new Boyd's thumbhole varmint stock, a one piece rail mount and better scope are in the works. Next range day, the crony goes too, might get some interesting data to mess with.

Rollin, Rollin, Rollin...

PS. Never mind, I can't figure out how to post pictures yet.
