Is there any issue with these triggers?

4 of my children have Axis rifles..... I hadn't heard of any trigger issues.

Axis does not have the accutrigger, Axis II does.  That is the difference as I understand it.  There is no issue/defect otherwise that I know of.

I'm sure the triggers are fine but I like a light trigger. The Axis apparently doesn't have the Accutrigger, so as far as I know it is therefore not adjustable. I just don't want to buy it only to have to spend $150 on a new trigger.

Is this one of the models you can swap barrels and calibers without having to take it to a gun smith?

You can adjust the trigger by cutting loops off the spring.  Do it one loop at a time until you get where you want it.  The come fairy heavy from the factory.

Thanks for that info. I just ordered the youth compact in 7mm/08 for my daughter.

EDIT:

Note, this is the XP not the XP II so it does NOT have the accutrigger.

Even so, at that price, I ordered 2!

Thanks for letting us know.
The original Axis may not have accutrigger, but can be a ok trigger.  I recommend anyone getting one look up axis trigger online.  You can cut as previously mentioned or use a spring out of a ballpoint pen to significantly improve the trigger.

Have you made this mod?  I've heard that in addition to lightening the pull, it also makes the trigger feel squishy.  True?

Damn just bought that same gun in 7/08 for my son at Cabelas 2 weeks ago for just over $300 :bash:
Gun feels nice but the box mag seems cheaply built to me. Have yet to shoot it so no first hand trigger info

At that price, who cares what the trigger is like? Put a timney in it & it’s still a great deal.

I wish they had the 6.5 but I picked up a 223 just because, Brownells has Timney triggers for $94 if the stock trigger sucks

I  didn't think Timney would make a trigger for the Axis, but if they do, that's great news!    :tup:

I was looking at Walmart rifles the other day and found a Axis II 6.5 CM with accutrigger, heavy barrel, camo stock and Bushnell 4-16 with parallax (still an el cheapo I'm sure) for $400.  It was a pretty cool rifle and I had to think about it for awhile....still am actually.  Did a little research on it and it seems it is a Walmart exclusive, nothing on Savage's website on it.  Cool little gun for sure.

For that price you can always get the Model 10.
