My buddy had one and he hated it. Didn't group worth shot and had trouble with the trigger. I would never by one. My other buddy just picked up the new Ruger rifle. I can remember the model number but Cabala's was selling them for around 379.00. He bought one in a .243 to hunt coyotes and deer. He loves it. You should check them out.

A 700 or a better model Savage. I have a 700 SPS and it's a great gun.

if your going for less$ the stevens i heard can be a decent shooter for the cash and can be made to shoot better if you want to upgrade

Hey DDJJ,

Look into the Venture by TC.  I have shot one and it was a good, accurate, and affordable rifle.  They have a MOA guarantee I believe.

Make it in camo and black.

Find an old model savage....I have the heavy barrel model 12 (I think) and it is an amazing shooter.  It is kinda heavy though.  You should be able to find one for around 300-350 in great shape.

is there something wrong with the axis or has no one shoot one? my cousin loves his he lived 2000 miles away so i cant shoot it.

[jrebel]

I have never shot one, but everyone says they are junk.  Not sure why people don't like them.  Have you tried doing a google search to see what reviews they get?

I have one and have been happy with it for the $$.

The bolt doesn't cycle super smooth, the trigger isn't great, and it only grouped "well" IMO.

But.... What do you expect from a $339 rifle?? I thought it was spot on for the value.

My buddy just bought an axis in 22-250. Cut the spring down on the trigger to lighten it up, hardly any creep and breaks around 3.5-4 lbs. Shoots lights out. Topped it with one of the redfields. Pretty sweet budget rifle and optics. I would also check out the new ruger all american, looks like a solid budget rifle.

I had an older 110 series savage in .22-250, was a tack driver..

okay looks like i have alot more research to do. i want something that i can shoot 3 to 400 yards well and is decently priced( 300 to 550 ) im on a budget and i want to get the best i can.
