[QUOTE="elj1973, post: 2912582, member: 106376"] Can not speak to AB3, but I bought my mother a Axis ii in .270 that I help her with for hunting in Wyoming. It shoots the 145 eldx Precison Hunters in tinny little groups sub moa for me trigger has been set to 2lbs (easily done on your own)., scope, rings and rail were replaced and thrown out (junk IMO).But for her she has some issues getting that accuracy, in the stock rifle form shooting fundamentals are very critical with it. It's not forgiving at all for bad form. It has got me a few times with big groups. When shooting off a bipod with factory stock is not recommended because of the flex and barrel contact lots of flyers. Just my experience. Finish on non stainless is ok will rust pretty easy in a wet environment if oil is rubbed off gun by anything like clothing. For what I payed for it really can't complain it shoots! Will definitely be replacing stock with a oryx chassis or Boyd's stock. Would I recommend it? Depends on what you want it use it for and if you like tinkering. By the time you replace stock, rings, scope and maybe barrel you could of bought a higher quality rifle. I have heard alot of good things about Tikka that they are pretty good right out of the box and really good to build on in the future if you desire. [/QUOTE]
