Bought the sporter barrel a while back in 6.5-284 and swapped out the 25-06 barrel on the Axis. Took it out yesterday with H4831sc and 140Bergrs,Amaxes and 110 grain GS bullets=Everything went inside an inch@ 150yards and the Amaxes went into one ragged hole. Not bad for just throwing loads together.......Specialy out of a $275 gun with a $112 barrel.
