I might as well remember what I did to it. When I bought it, I was looking at just a decent .30-‘06 for general purpose. The Ruger American had just come out and piqued my interest, but my LGS guy suggested the Savage Axis. Ok, LGS guys you trust are good. He also steered me away from Century Arms to a Bushmaster AR, so he had cred.
This was one of my first attempts at glass bedding a rifle, so a bit of a learning curve. But I did document it thoroughly. Of course.













If a picture is worth a thousand words, you just got 13,000.

Fouling shot and next two I’ll take. Home-rolled with Hornady 168 g BTHP.
