[QUOTE="Tac-O, post: 1958410, member: 109994"] The savage axis doesn't seem to want to shoot anymore though. Of the two best charges, the better one was about 2 moa for 10 shots, cool or slightly warm barrel. It once upon a time shot around 1moa with the occasional flier with Hornady reduced recoil loads and a reduced recoil handload. I haven't been able to get it to do that for at least 150-200 rounds. I checked the bolt lugs awhile back and there is very uneven contact. Then the muzzle/crown pitting just looks awful. It's less than a year old so it would still be in warranty, but I'm not sure if savage would do anything about that muzzle. If it is defective steel, I would hope so. Or, I could just shortcut all of that and replace it with a Tikka since I eventually wanted to do that anyway [/QUOTE]
