My Axis in 243 was $269 and has a stainless barrel...

5 shots at 100 yds off the bench, give a 270 sized hole...

10 shots give ya about a 30/06 caliber sized hole...

plus it came with a free scope on top, that I took off and gave to a kid for his 10/22...who is thrilled...

if they are junk... they are awfully GOOD junk....

I can live with that.....
