[QUOTE="mrbofus, post: 935192, member: 47819"] Well it will be interesting to get other opinions here but I will fisrt say IMO that 40 round in 1 hour from an 06 in alot. Yes you probably heated up the barell and quite possible were flinching with each shoot.What size target? what were the groups? 1-2-3-4 inch? how many rounds per group? what scopes? are the scope mounts tight? Try it again after cleaning the rifle and shot 3 or 4- 3 shot groups with a minute or 2 between each shot and then see what it looks like. The AXIS with factory ammo should shoot 2" or better and you may have to try different brands of ammo, some rifles like 1 flavor better than another. Dont shoot to much in one session. When you start getting frustrated its time to step away for awhile. Just my opinions PS. any good quality 140 gr bullet should be more than enough for Bear out of the 7/08 [/QUOTE]
