I think you will be happy with it.

I only shoot paper so I went for an Axis II .223 HB when I saw one at a Walmart. It has been a tack driver, but, prefers Sierra MK bullets.

The HB is nice. Point of impact changes only a small fraction of an inch from cold to very hot barrel. And it still shoots better than I do. Last group I shot was less than half an inch. That was at the end of a session and barrel was too hot to hold.

So, have fun with it. If you ever have a need for a heavier barrel you can always get another one fitted.
