This addition was not work on the Roxor exactly. I picked up a Rifle to put in the Vertical Gun Rack I purchased from Diesel Freak, previously installed on the Rear Bulkhead between the seats.
I purchased a new Savage Axis II with an OD Green Stock, chambered in 223 Remington. For a scope I installed a Vortex Diamondback 3-9x40mm with Dead Hold BDC in a set of Warne Maxima Vertical Split Rings. This rifle has a 1-9 twist, and should shoot the Hornady 60 grain V-Max Bullets very well. (Very Good Coyote Medicine) This is supposed to be an entry level rifle, but a fairly useable and accurate one. I still need to fabricate a Muzzle Cover to keep dust out of the barrel, and I need to get a Bikini Scope Cover to keep the scope clean. I have been debating on what to get for a while. I did not care for the AR Style magazine sticking out of the Ruger American Ranch Rifle in 223 Remington. I did look over a Ruger American in 22-250. That was a very close second place choice, but I had never owned a Savage Axis II, and I would have had to buy Dies and Brass for the 22-250 which was another consideration. My AR15 with M-Loc Forend does not work well with the Vertical Gun Rack, however this bolt action rifle should work fine. This will keep me busy for a while Reloading for it, Sighting it in, and working with the Dead Hold BDC to see how to utilize it in the field. This should make a nice addition to Rocky. I will now need to throw a couple Shot Sack Sandbags in Rocky to shoot over the hood. I run around on the nearly 1300 acres behind the house a lot clearing trails and taking care of stands for the Guys with the hunting lease. It is nice to have a handy rifle in the Roxor when you need it.
