    Big thank you to @Joel Russo for taking care of me on this Axiom!! Also a big thank you to John @ Keystone Accuracy for taking care of me on this 6BR Kreiger tack driver. Both of these guys provide a top notch product, excellent customer service and fast turn around times and no BS. The way it should be!!

    I just wanted to get some rounds down the barrel, zero my scope and check speeds. No load development has been done. I loaded up 50rds with Virigin Lapua, 29.3gr H4895 and a cheap Hornady 105 BTHP @ 0.10 off the lands. I shot 25rds at 100yds to zero my scope and check speed over the Labradar. Once I had it zero @ 100 the Labradar showed 2849 SD 4.7 over 25rds. I moved over to the long range to see how it did on steel.

    It was windy out there yesterday and this thing was a laser!! AICS 10rd mags with Primal Rights BR kits ran flawless. I couldnt be happier with the results, especially with a cheap bullet and zero load development out of a brand new barrel. Next up will be load development with 1x brass and 105 Bergers. The Axiom with full DLC on both the receiver and bolt is ssssoooo smooth. Like glass. The 60 degree bolt throw is pretty darn awesome too. Ran like a swiss watch. Loving the @Precision Underground rear bag and suppressor cover. The rear bag just locks the gun right up. I have a lot of bags and this thing is just awesome. Rock solid!

    Cant beat 1/4moa at 600yd with no load development on a brand new barrel. For those of you that think you need to do all kinds of crazy barrel break in to get accuracy take note. Pushed a wet patch down the barrel then dry patched it out before screwing this new barrel on the Axiom and thats it.

     
    That’s dang good shooting sir! You inspired and got the very first 3D ELR bag. I had a new Valkyrie out the other day and shot a couple of groups with my 3D. It performed great as well as the barrel shooting 88s! I was a bit worried after all of the ups and downs people have had with the valkyrie and 88s. It’s not .2 moa but not bad for a gas gun from the dirt and no load development!

    Yea after 50rd it slid forward maybe 0.5". I'll try that next time out.?
    I just finally got my tags printed up and they have instructions on them and I'm sending that illustration with all of them too. I think I sent yours just before I got all of that stuff lined up! Be sure cord crosses underneath and then wraps around up top. That bottom cross is what makes it easy to cinch tight. It's really easy to get it right once you see how it goes.

    That is it. Padom’s is 1/2” thicker than the production model. He wanted mega-thick. His looks a lot thicker in that pic because when the stock compresses it it puffs it out and makes it thicker. The one on the site looks pretty much like that when a stock is on it.
     
    I'd seen photos of the results from Green Mountain barrels that John could spin up posted here, but I'm glad to see results on a Krieger pre-fit of his. I ordered a Krieger from Keystone for my new Impact Precision build and will finally be able to get to test it out this week, knock on wood, now that my action delay and muzzle brake woes are solved. It's nice to see equally positive results, especially since I'm also shooting 6BR - cut with the same reamer and the same barrel contour.

    I really think it was the bag and suppressor cover that gave him the edge though... Better grab a couple just to be safe! ?

    Padom, I hope you don't mind me asking here, but I believe I read that you have a Bighorn Origin as well as your Curtis Axiom above?

    Would you be so kind as to give your thoughts on each and what you prefer and when please? Thank you

    I have a lot of different actions. I dont want to derail this thread about the Axiom. Not turning it into another which action is best thread. Feel free to PM me any questions.
