Set up your Axis XP
Affiliate linksCategories, not product picks — we haven't tested these, so each one searches real inventory rather than pretending to know the answer.
Scope base & rings
Left-hand actions often need a left-hand-specific base — a right-hand base will not fit. Check the fitment notes before ordering.
Riflescope
A 3–9x or 2.5–10x covers nearly all hunting distances and keeps weight down.
Sling
Carry side is personal — a simple two-point sling works from either shoulder.
243 Win ammunition
Most rifles shoot one load noticeably better than the rest — buy a few boxes before committing.
Hard case
Required for airline travel and worth it for any drive to a hunt.
