We are proud to introduce our new series of rifles based on our AXIS action.
We designed this action to incorporate some of the features of the APEX VR-1 into a Remington footprint action. The AXIS is machined from 2" bar stock so the recoil lug is integral with the action. There is also a recoil lug that the scope rail captures. The action is very stiff with a solid top, and integral lugs. This also enables the length of the tenon to be .940". The side bolt release is .300" wide. It uses Remington style triggers.
The bolt is a carry over from the APEX VR-1 and has a 30 degree bolt nose, 3 o’clock extractor and 3 lug bolt, 2 front, and 1 at the rear of the bolt. It uses Remington striker assemblies and ejectors. The bolt knob screws into the bolt body and incorporates the now infamous 1/2" hex socket. The bolt features heavy helical flutes.
The scope rail is machined from 7075 aluminum and is attached with 4 8/32 tapered head TORX screws and located by (2) 1/8" steel pins. It captures on the front recoil lug as well.
The test rifle that is in the pictures is built as follows:
