I've had several Axiseses over the years. Factory, custom built, the works. Every one of them has been silly accurate with every load, in every chambering. But the stock is abysmal. The Axis II with the accutrigger is worth the extra, if you're not handy, or confident about doing some trigger work. If you are, the original trigger can be made phenomenal. The only reason I don't have one right now as a knockaround is because I gave it to a friend's kid as his first gun.
I currently do have a RAPish (cobbled together myself) & the stock is OK, the barrel is accurate enough (more testing needed, good twist in 223 though) the action took some smoothing out, my chamber looked to have been cut by a one armed 9 year old & the trigger is hands down the worst I've ever felt on any rifle, ever.
However..... It suits my purpose better than the Savage & all the problems/niggles are personal to me & I'm happy to fix & figure them out. Nothing a little cash & work can't sort. It'll still end up being significantly cheaper than the Tikka, with a better mag in a compacter-er package.
Mossberg make shotguns. That's all I have to say about that.
