I've been down this road myself.... The axis is a budget rifle... PERIOD! the stocks are junk and the recoil lug system "leaves a lot to be desired"... The rear tang is supposed to be floated they say. My axis (22-250) originally came with the Accustock even. I tried to modify the stock a little and even added weight to the hollow butt stock to get it to shoot a bit better. Ordered a Criterion aftermarket match grade barrel even and still couldn't get it to shoot as tight as I wanted.
Long story short, save yourself the tinkering and the time and just order a laminate or better stock for it. Pillar and glass bed it (Laminate) and be done with it. I've learned all this over the last 2 years of trying to do what you are trying to do.
