I bought myself an axis in 223 several years ago when wholesale sports had them on during they're boxing week sale (maybe 2010 or 2011?). Hundreds of rounds through it now, never been babied, and still shoots lights out. Sub MOA with factory hornady customs in 55 grain. I reinforced the forearm with some aluminum rod and a two part epoxy back sometime around 2012 to stiffen things up, and did the trigger spring mod (cringe) and otherwise it is as the day it left the box. Still wearing the factory bushnell 3-9, although I pulled all the mounts off, and locktite amd torqued them.
I don't know that I'd buy one now for what they sell for, but for the $250 that I paid for this was peanuts, and for that price I'd do it again in a second
