    Under 500 shootout.

    Re: Under 500 shootout. Bipod, rests, and bags are allowed. the range will be 200 meters, and we'll be shooting 5 shot groups, no more than 30 seconds between shots. We're using the honor system.

    Under 500 shootout.

    Re: Under 500 shootout. 500 is the cost of the rifle. All parts on the rifle must be included in the 500. the only thing not included is the optics. I figure that's a good price point. I'm basically seeing what kind of groups we can put up with what some would call a less than adequate rifle.

    Under 500 shootout.

    In honor of my Savage Axis that is currently the platform for my build, I would like to hold a shootout for rifles under 500 dollars. For some it might be like Lance Armstrong riding a Huffy, but I think there could be some fun to be had here. I'll post some targets after shooting today or...

    Savage Axis after some modifications.

    Re: Savage Axis after some modifications. Fiberglass and resin were donated from a body shop owning friend, so now I can layer on areas of the stock to reinforce it. I am also going to beef up the forend to make it more stable, so it doesn't move around so much under load of the bipod when...

    Savage Axis after some modifications.

    Re: Savage Axis after some modifications. Good shooting man, I'm going to the range friday, I'll be sure that this is the first place I go when I get back. 100 yards is just something I figured would be a good starting point. I prefer steel, it gives more satisfaction on hits. Paper...

    Savage Axis after some modifications.

    Re: Savage Axis after some modifications. Tyler, back those words and post your groups. I'll do the same. Let's see where this Crap rifle gets me. I'm betting I can stuff five under am inch at 100. Let's see if you can do the same.

    Savage Axis after some modifications.

    Re: Savage Axis after some modifications. I've shot the 770, and I didn't much care for the way it felt, or the way it was put together. I can change the barrel on my rifle, you can't on the 770. It also doesn't come in .223, only deer dropping rounds. It's a newer version of the...

    Savage Axis after some modifications.

    Re: Savage Axis after some modifications. I'm pretty happy with the rear of the stock, but I am planning on doing some work on the forend to square it off a bit, as well as stiffen it a bit. Barrel is getting shortened this week, at that point I'll put it back together and give the...

    Savage Axis after some modifications.

    Re: Savage Axis after some modifications. I really think a lot of people are selling this rifle short on what it can do. Sure there's no aftermarket stocks yet, but I managed to get past that for less than 30 dollars. I also did a little polishing on the trigger, and it's quite a bit...

    Savage Axis after some modifications.

    Re: Savage Axis after some modifications. I recently got a really nice flip cam, and I've been looking for a good way to use it. I think i'll start posting a vlog on YouTube to follow along as I do modifications on rifles like the Axis, XS7VS, and other variants to see what I can...

    Savage Axis after some modifications.

    Re: Savage Axis after some modifications. Thank you for all the positive and nice comments. I enjoy doing work like this because I can look at it and know that I'm the one who made it better, and it's mine. I can tell you that this rifle is no slouch, even with a sporter barrel. I was...

    Savage Axis after some modifications.

    Re: Savage Axis after some modifications. It fits me fine, and it shoots really well. The only thing that the axis doesn't have is a recoil lug on the barrel, and that could be added if that's the road I want to take. I understand that some people don't see the point in doing work...

    Savage Axis after some modifications.

    Re: Savage Axis after some modifications. The scope was bought for 35 dollars, and it actually shoots really well. I box tested it last weekend, and it returned back to zero every time. It's only a .223, so the recoil isn't the most awful think in the world. So far I've taken it out to...

    Savage Axis after some modifications.

    Oh man, this took some doing. I am really happy with the way it turned out, and it shoots just as good if not better than it looks. The axis stock has been known to have some issues with flexing. Once I added all the epoxy and bondo, these problems no longer exist. I hope you enjoy my hard work...
