Axial Mountain Shadow

The Axial Precision Mountain Shadow is uniquely designed and built around its cartridge propellant. The rifle is only chambered in cartridges compatible with this powder. You can shoot other ammo, but the rifle performance is highly optimized around its designated propellant/loads. The Mountain Shadow was designed in-house with assistance from the Engineers at Hornady who are some of the leading experts in modern magnum – heavy for caliber ballistics. Over 5 years of research and testing – includes input from over fifty hard core sheep hunters, and some of the most proficient sheep guides in the world. Utilizing short barrel optimization and the patented Axial Precision ATAS alignment system, the high frequency harmonics are contained and thus aid in 1/2 MOA accuracy in heavy-for-caliber bullets unlike the pencil-thin long barrels of the lightweight rifle platforms, which are merely milled down versions of their heavier brothers. The longer the barrel the higher the resonant frequency at the muzzle – high muzzle resonance and heavy – fast bullets= large, erratic groups.
