I got a Savage Axis II Precision in 6.5 Creedmoor a few months ago, and it has quickly become my favorite! I resisted the 6mm hoopla for a couple years, but I broke down when I saw this rifle. I put a Vortex Diamondback tactical 6-24X50 on top in an Aero precision lightweight mount. And I added a Mechforce 6.5 muzzle brake out front. I changed out the bolt handle/bolt knob and put on a UTG recon flex bipod. I haven’t found any factory ammo it doesn’t like, but I really enjoy hand loading for it. I was running out of H4350, and I found a couple lbs of Shooters World “Precision” so I thought I’d give it a try. Figured it would at least work good in a hunting load, and I had some Hornady 129 grain SP Interlock bullets I wanted to try, so I loaded up 5 each of 4 different charges and shot them today. WOW! Really impressed so far. Definately good enough to knock out a hog or two! I have some Hornady 147 grain ELD-Match bullets to try next. These are the best 2 five shot groups with what I had loaded for today.
