[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 4383084, member: 15054"] I bought a Savage Axis rifle with tan stock with black speckles on it many months ago and finally shot it. It shot good. Trigger needs adjusted as it is a bit heavy. I ran some rounds through it that needed emptied. Lapua neck turned cases 42gr IMR4064 168eldm. I was thinking Man I need to work up loads for this rifle and then thought I HATE 22" long barrels after cutting many barrels shorter. Those short barrels 16.5-18 really shoot well.. Accuracy node is wider and does not change as much when the temps change. Then I thought quit screwing up a good rifle someone could use as is and thought maybe someone has a .223 rifle they would trade me and then I thought CUT IT to 16.5or 17 and see what happens. I then stuck it in the safe and got out a 30-06 that needed a scope on it. Mounted the scope and thought man that 22" 30-06 would be sweet at 18"..Stupid loud I would bet. I thought farther and was thinking short 30-06 at 16.25" would probably have nearly the velocity of my 18" .308. Then thought man that 30-06 and 110 v max from the shorty********* pure awesomeness. I gotta go find my hacksaw. Or go make some grape jelly. I need grape jelly and it makes a good Christmas present to go with homemade deer jerky. Jelly it is then. [/QUOTE]
