When it comes to managing coyote populations on farmland or clearing a prairie dog town, you need a tool that reaches out with authority. The 22″ barrel on this Axis XP helps wring every bit of velocity out of the 22-250 round, making those 300-yard shots on a skittish predator a confident endeavor. The rifle’s action is smooth and reliable, feeding from a detachable 4-round box magazine. At a total weight around 6.5 pounds, it’s easy to carry on long walks through pastures or from stand to stand. The package price of $374.86 represents a significant value, considering a comparable scope and mount setup would add well over $100 if purchased separately.
Who This Rifle Is For

It’s also a solid choice for a new hunter’s first centerfire rifle, offering manageable recoil and immediate scope readiness to build shooting fundamentals. This package is available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide.
Pros & Cons
Pros: Exceptional out-of-the-box value. The included 3-9×40 scope is a legitimate hunting optic, not a disposable placeholder. The 22-250 Remington caliber is supremely effective for its intended purpose. The AccuTrigger is a genuine performance enhancer. The synthetic stock stands up to harsh weather—ever left a rifle in a damp truck cab overnight?
Cons: The synthetic stock is functional but not luxurious; it lacks the precise bedding of higher-end models. The 22-250 round, while superb, has significant barrel wear and ammo cost considerations compared to a .223 Remington. You’ll want to check the scope’s zero thoroughly, as shipping can affect the factory bore-sight.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the scope any good, or should I plan to replace it immediately?
A: The included 3-9x40mm scope is a legitimate entry-level hunting optic. It provides clear glass for daylight shooting and holds zero on this cartridge. For most users, it’s perfectly adequate. Upgrading is always an option, but it’s not a necessity to start hunting.
Q: What’s the real-world effective range for coyote with this setup?
A: With proper 22-250 ammunition (like 55-grain V-Max or Ballistic Tip loads), a skilled shooter can ethically take coyotes out to 400 yards. The limiting factor is often the shooter’s ability, not the cartridge. The 3-9x scope is ideal for this range bracket.
Q: Can I use standard .223 Remington ammunition in this rifle?
A: Absolutely not. The 22-250 Remington is a different, more powerful cartridge. Firing a .223 in a 22-250 chamber is extremely dangerous. Only use ammunition clearly marked as 22-250 Remington. Always verify caliber before loading. Remember, an FFL transfer is required for firearm purchases when shipping.
