[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 935613, member: 48043"] I had an axis in '06 a couple of years ago and it was a fair rifle. It would hold moa without much work at 100 yards. I wouldn't hold the scope when you shoot as it will likely induce a cant as the rifle is fired; you may also accidentally adjust your scope if the caps are off. As you said the rifle was shooting worse towards the end of the shooting session, I suspect either barrel fouling or shooter fatigue. I personally wouldn't run 40 rounds through many of my rifles in an hour as heat can become an issue quickly (especially my overbore 7mm's), and I usually clean after every box or two. That said, I ran at least a couple of hundred rounds through a Ruger '06 in an afternoon once to burn off ammo before I traded it, and the rifle would dump ten rounds into less than 2" at 100 yards rapid fire at the tail end of the run.
