Sensei, how are you liking it? How does it shoot? You had time to put rounds down range?

Sensei, how are you liking it? How does it shoot? You had time to put rounds down range?
The real question is AX 308 SA or AX-MC .300 if the shooter has no current interest in magnum cartridges given the small price difference.
Sadly, I only have 10 rounds through it. That is because I'm anal as hell about breaking in my precision barrels and the first 10 rounds is a 15 min ritual per round. That and my family life is busy as hell (finishing a 1300 sq ft basement).Quote:

By Christmas, I'll have it broken-in and zero'ed at 100 yards.
You made the right choice! There's no comparison between a factory AI and ANY custom action on the market.
$3,000 well spent!
Take a look at this.Quote:

Attachment 44419
It is about 0.5-0.75 MOA with decent factory ammo and a good rest. If I had time to hand load I bet I could squeeze it down to 0.5" consistently.

Don’t hold your breath. Sadly, I have not seen him post in more than a few months.
I know this is 2 years old but for $3000 I could have an MPA in 300 win mag that will shout out of the box sub half MOA at 100 yards. But that money is way spent already.Quote:

So I would spend extra to have an Axmc then another rifle that just groups well at 100. Heck I've seen 400 dollar Walmart sold Remington guns shoot half inch groups with hand loads.Quote:
