Was able to get out and get some rounds through the Savage Axis Factory Heavy Barrel in 243 today. Got to check the out of the box accuracy of the rifle which for the price point is awesome a definate MOA or better shooter with even factory ammo. Actually didn't expect as good of results as I seen after feeling the trigger and at how wobbly the stock was. The trigger is probably the worst trigger Ive ever felt in a rifle and the stock is not much and very flimsy but for a rifle that around $300 new its hard to complain with the results. I managed some very nice sub MOA groups with factory ammo and a few even nicer ones with my handloads and that's even with the horrid trigger, best group being right at .376" @ 110yrds with using a 65gr Vmax bullet over 38gr of Varget. Cant wait to get my upgraded parts into the rifle and see how well it can do. Here is a video review of it if any one would like to check it out.
