When I was at the FFL picking up my Axis I saw this in the used rack.

It's been on my short list since it came out and I am weak....

The case is a brand new Ruger case for a breakdown 10/22, it fits this gun perfectly. The dealer included it with the gun.
 
I think you confused the word "weak" with "wise".

That looks like a really nice gun.

And you can permanently affix a suppressor to it without a tax stamp too if you like to tinker ;)
 
Can you use triple 7 powder in it?

Yes, any BP or equivalent should be OK. I quit using 777 in my rifle but still have most of a pound of the loose powder.

In my rifle it left so much of a crust ring a followup shot was impossible to load without cleaning the barrel.
 
Thanks. I wasn't sure.

I have some, but haven't ever used it in a gun.

Its a good powder, and it does burn cleaner then Pyrodex but it just leaves a crust ring where it ignites which makes it hard to load the next round, esp of you use a tight fitting sabot.
