Hi all, I have an AXSA in 6.5 cm which I absolutely love and have shot some PRS matches with. I’m still a beginner but I’m trying to decide if I keep this or sell it for something below.
Impact 737r in MDT acc elite chassis
- lightest and smoothest bolt lift of the three to keep my on target?
Terminus Zeus in MDT
- I want a quick change barrel system
- heard the bolt lift is heavier than impact
Keep AXSA
- love the quick barrel change
- love the look and ruggedness
- don’t love the hump and balance point for shooting off bags/barricades
- obviously other ergos and support for this rifle are lacking.
- I’ve started adding a lot of weight to try to keep the recoil down so maybe that will be good enough? I’m current at 22lb thinking of even pushing to 23lb.
What are some other pros and cons I’m missing.
Also considering getting a new barrel for axsa, or if I move to custom, going with a different route than 6.5 cm.
I’d like to shoot factory ammo at least for another year or two until I have more free time as I know it’s a bit of a chore. So I’m also having a dilemma on calibers. I shoot 6.5 but I want lower recoil to spot traces and misses better. So I guess my options are staying on 6.5, moving to 6mm cm, or 6 dasher or gt.
6.5 Cm
- tons of factory ammo
- higher recoil so follow up and tracing / spotting misses are harder?
- bigger splash if I do miss so maybe that makes it easier on spotting misses longer?
6mm creedmoor
- lots of factory ammo and always in stock
- less recoil than 6.5 cm
- higher velocity so less barrel life which I’m not too concerned about
- higher velocity makes spotting misses harder since it’s faster?
6 GT
- factory ammo but it’s expensive and limited
- closer recoil to dasher
6 dasher
- easy button for PRS due to recoil and ballistics
- have to reload which I don’t have time for but I’d like to shoot this caliber of any just wish there was factory ammo.
Help me decide I’m so torn.
