Finally someone who isn't scared of a little work to save money.
I too modded the original Axis and Axis accutriggers with minimal work.
I sold the 308 and kept the 22-250.

The other thing that I've seen/heard of people doing is grinding a relief into the bolt handle to clear the ocular bell. I dont have an Axis on hand to try that with and in fact the one I was working on for a buddy I got frustrated with the stupid bolt handle and bought him a Glades. I dont know If it made a difference because he moved onto higher-end guns before ever re-outfitting the gun, and as far as I know that axis (which served perfectly well) has been retired to the back of the safe.
I used a large half round bastard file. It allowed my to use low mounts and a 40 mm vortex scope with perfect cheek weld.
I have an Axis II which I think has a different trigger than the Axis. Is the Mcarbo trigger an upgrade over the Axis II trigger? If so, enough to be worth it?
Look up the accutriggers mod. It's easy and cheap
Ill differ to @Bfh_auto, all the Axis rifles ive seen have been the standard models not the ones with accutrigger.
My experience has been that a different pressure spring dropped it to 2lb 8oz with no creep.
It mimics a 2 stage trigger without dropping over 100 dollars.

If you have an Accutrigger, IMO not worth swapping it out. IMO the Accutrigger is noticably better than the standard one even with the M*CARBO kit (even though it helps alot) plus the Accutrigger gives you more adjustability.
Unlike the higher end Savage.
The Axis accutriggers are not adjustable without changing springs.

Interesting, didn't know that. Don't have an Axis II to have found out I suppose, haha.
