Good to know ! Pretty awesome thank you ! Was going to use mine for such , it’s so light weight . It gets so few rounds through it out of all my guns, bolt action sticks on me a little . But when i’m shooting it I can’t stop ! BAM, BAM BAM BAM. First time I shot the gun was the first time I ever got clipped by a scope. I laid down on the ground and had one hand on the gun for some reason. Scope was way too close. I can stand and shoot it dead accurately, it’s just a tad short for my arms having a 6’2 wing span.
Me and my uncle just dropped a moose with this exact rifle. The bullet was a Hornady whitetail .150 gr. Only took us 2 shots, first shot dropped him, and the 2nd shot was to only make sure it was finished off. Great fkn gun!!!
Personally I've b🎉ought 2 axises,.22-250,& 308,My opinion is they are starting guns.They are made of molded parts.When compared to a modern 10,110,ect.they will not shoot the same as a higher end savage.Again you get what you pay for.
I jave the savage axis 2 in 6.5 creedmoor and 308 .. i love them both stock the way they are ... The only other rifle I have is a Remington 710 and 270w... That's my bear gun
I got them both I gotta say the 223 you can put the round threw the same hole as many times as you want the 308 you can too just has a bit more punch lol
My son and I had these savage axis 308. I never shot too many shells through it. I sold it to my nephew and he said it was the worse gun he's ever had.
That's crazy, they are amazing guns for the price.i currently have one in .308 and .30-06 and they're very accurate and easy to clean and maintain. Also lots of mods for the stocks.
I need to get one in 6.5cm ever had one or shot one lol the only thing I got against the axis is the bolt is super close to the scope but none the less still an amazing rifle
I gotta ask, your bolt doesn't hit the scope bell? Just bought the same setup and my bolt scraped the bell every time I cocked... Didn't want higher scope mounts so I sanded around 1/16" off the bolt - it just barely clears the scope now.
I have the same problem can’t tell you how many times I mashed my pinky finger opening the bolt and if you move the scope you can’t get a good sight picture best advice I can get it scoop the bolt up with a open hand lol
@@Yaboy87chevy already changed the trigger out and added a new break and a new scope. My laser bore site made it in the other day .. I’m slowly working on her - taking photos as I transform it
We haven’t had any problems out of ours runs smooth only problem I have with it is the bolt it super close to the scope but other than that it’s a pretty good gun lol
I have my daughters old savage axis in .243 win. And it has been a good rifle. They are budget guns so every once in a while you are going to get a lemon. 😢
