AXIS build 6.5x284

Recommended Posts

I have had this rifle for a while and was fortunate to get a new Vortex Razor HD AMG installed on it. What a great scope and it shoots pretty good also. Eric is a great guy to work with just awesome customer service. Yea I puked on that last shot on that five shot string

I had to think about that one for a while. I was thinking this started out as a Savage Axis.

Sweet gun for sure!  Axis built me a nice Creed!  Haven't posted much about it yet.  But it smooth and shoots nice.  Still work on some loads.  They are a great company

Shot out to 500 Yards today on the steel plates at Phoenix Rod and Gun club and couldn't be more pleased. I shot the far left steel plate aim point was the 2 inch red square and was able to put 10 rounds pretty much in a 3 inch group no real wind to contend with. Shooting Hornady 143 ELDx with 51.4 grains of 4831 SC jumping the lands .020 using CCI 250 Primers no pressure signs at all. Really digging the 6.5X284 and the Vortex Razor AMG HD is a great scope super clear and instead of dialing elevation this time  I used the recital held over 7 MOA ballistic chart said 6.8 MOA it was nuts on.  I cerakoted the gun this last week also and Area 15 was great to work with. This is my first true custom gun and I think I may have caught the bug.

Awesome rifle.

 

the more I look at it with the raw steel barrel the more I like that look! Good shooting!

 

What contour is your barrel?

Its a Krieger barrel Remington varmint contour. 1.25 to .830.........I was debating on cerakoting it, had it for about three months without  Figure I will be replacing the barrel at about 1400 rounds give or take and can go back to raw if I decided to.

I've got a custom 6.5 X 284.   Right now I'm getting 3005 FPS with a Nosler accubond long range 142 grain bullet using 4350 as the powder using a 21" barrel.    I ran it up to about 3100 FPS but that is when I started running into pressure issues.
