How do you like the tacticool stock? I was looking at getting one
Printable View
I love it! Not nuts about the texture at first its defiantly a functional stock. Grate prone. Good offhand. Awesome fit. Super stiff forend. I have it free floated and can't even squeeze the barrel into the stock to make it touch.
The Tacticool was originally designed for rimfires, I believe, which would have sort of stretched the definition of "tactical". Still, it does have a lot of nice features, even if it's missing some of the srs bzns elements of what might be considered actual tactual stocks.

My new Axis .308 sitting next to my .22
I have 30-06 Axis with the same scope......Going to keep it for now. Took it out the other day and it worked pretty good. Held zero with apparently no problems. Using mine for deer hunting and I am sure it will do the job after shooting about 12 rounds it still holding on.. Just can't beat the price point.
Made a knob out of some scraps I found in my toolbox at work. Came out pretty decent for $0 ...and works great! No more pinched fingers between scope and bolt handle.

Here is my model 12 LRP, I haven't got to shoot it much yet,but it's very sweet.http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/08/06/betuja7e.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/08/06/megejy8e.jpg
Thanks! I used Rustoleum Camo in various colors. I gave it base coat of black then I used some leaves and such I found outside or some plastic plant leaves at the dollar store and just held them down as a stencil and lightly sprayed over them. After that I gave it 3-4 coats of Krylon Clear Satin Lacquer. I considered doing the entire rifle/scope but was a bit turned off by the idea since the good people at Bushnell told me they may not warranty any scope issues if it was painted.
Nice group!
Not quite done yet but getting there. Still need to camo it but not too bad for my first build. The little marks on the stock are from sanding down some sharp edges on the finish. No biggie as it's getting paint.

First Axis II XP in 308. This is a Boyds stock in Pepper. I really like the stock. I hope accuracy improves.
Looks great

here my Axis 30-06

Love the barrel. Went with the 24". Best 3 shot groups so far is .33" and best 5 shot group is .43 at 100yds. Was shooting with a buddy that has around 8k in his 308 setup and was shooting better than him. He thought I had a ton of money in it also but then told him it's just an Axis. [emoji1] I know a lot is the shooter but the barrel has really impressed me.
I just created a build thread for this but since this is where all y'all are putting your Axis and Edge photos, I'll add mine here as well. Haven't shot her yet as she just came back from the smith today after being re-barreled and bedded.
