I was going to buy an Axis 11 XP while the rebates are on but I have found a Model 112 Varmit on a local auction site. It has a 26" SS heavy barrel with a lam stock. Looks complete and in good shape. I'm just getting a rifle for target use, 2-300 yards. The heavy, long barrel seems ideal. At $230 now, but I imagine it'll go up. Any info, thoughts? No mag. Is it top load or single shot? It has weaver mounts. When did this stop production? The auction is next week and the rebate ends this month. Any help would be appreciated.
