Bought an Axis in Nov 14. All in cost after taxes and factory rebate was $288.25

Did the trigger spring job and re-torqued the mounts.

Just recently swapped on a Bushnell AR 223 scope and added a cheapish bipod.

I have a lot of rifles but I must admit that I quite like my fugly Tupperware-gun.

It is accurate and cheap to buy and cheap to shoot.

I had it out one day with my buddy who has a Remy 700 in 223. The 5.56 he was shooting kept key holing and he told me this is why some surplus ammo is really poor.

I tried it in the cheap Axis and it shot quite nicely to our surprise - it was a twist rate issue. IIRC, his Remington was 1:12 and the Axis was 1:9
