Re: blackhawk axiom rifle stocks
I finished a Howa build a few months ago. I had looked at an Axiom stock for about three minutes before deciding they were gimmicky trash. Went with a B&C instead.

Lay a few things out for us...
1. What is your price range?
2. What is the intended use (hunting/tactical/combination)?
3. Do you have any injuries that cause you to be recoil sensitive?

Re: blackhawk axiom rifle stocks
I would actually take "The ultimate sniper" stock over this. Not saying much though.

Re: blackhawk axiom rifle stocks
They are major pieces of shite...plain and simple.
There are several different effective methods for reducing recoil, but do yourself a favor and skip the gimmicks!
In short, to reduce recoil you can:
1) add weight to the rifle;
2) invest in some training and make sure you are using proper techniques when shooting;
3) invest in a properly installed muzzle brake specifically designed for recoil reduction; and/or
4) install a decent recoil pad if your rifle doesn't come with one (i.e. - a steel buttplate isn't a good at reducing recoil as a quality Limbsaver, Decelerator or KickEez pad).

Re: blackhawk axiom rifle stocks
Are they still made out of billet aluminum? This one is and it's very stable "0" flex. It's a Long action model and my 300WSM is sitting in it. The recoil reduction it provides with the 208 A-max means I can shoot all day with little or no fatigue. I definitely don't feel handicapped with this stock over a conventional accuracy wise.

Re: blackhawk axiom rifle stocks
I have a Howa in 243 with that stock on it. I haven't noticed any accuracy issue. the rifle easily shoots .5 MOA at 100 yds,I have shot a 2.5 in group at 400 yds with the rifle. although it is a pain to get a good rear bag rest on it if I have the bipod extended to max height, as far as the recoil reduction it doesn't really matter as a 243 doesn't have much anyway.

Re: blackhawk axiom rifle stocks
I've had no problems accuracy wise. The billet aluminum chassy provides solid contact with the action and I have no flex at all on a bi-pod. As far as ergonomics, it's comfortable to shoot but as said above it can be a pain in the ass getting your bag rite for elevation adjustments.

Re: blackhawk axiom rifle stocks
For a .308 and under, this stock is not desirable nor does it show it's true worth. If your going to shoot a Magnum and a break isn't an option this stock is for you.
The barrel I have shown in the picture is a Kreiger #17 HV.

Re: blackhawk axiom rifle stocks
The ones i have handled felt very flimsy and cheap.
Particularily on a mag w/o a brake i would be concerned about "scope eye" make sure you have plenty of eye relief if you must try the stock
