Thank you guys for the welcome! I'm starting my search for an Axis or even a used 110. I'm thinking that I may pick up a 270 Win just for giggles, because I've never shot a 270 Win and the action should work for any of the 30-06 group of rounds (35 Whelen, 338-06, 25-06 etc). I'm thinking about starting at local pawn shops for lightly used rifles, but it's just an idea.

I'm getting excited about the prospect of this build/project.
