Smoking Deal!! Savage Axis for $150

[bobcat]

How are the triggers on those? I'm tempted to get one for my daughter. But I've never seen one, other than pictures.

Just my opinion, but the trigger sucks. Timney sells a trigger for it for about $125 that will adjust down to 1.5 lbs.

Thanks. First I think I'll try that trigger spring kit for $15.95. It's supposed to get it down to 3.5 pounds.

I have some Savages with the Accutrigger, but I also have 4 with this trigger.   

Clearly the trigger is not a high dollar one, but mine will all hold an inch or better at 100 yards.   

I'd never argue against a better trigger, but a guy shouldn't feel handicapped if he went hunting with a stock one.

Whoever missed it or wants the accutrigger one, here's the link below. $219 after rebate. Still a good deal.

Let me know how the $15 option works. I was thinking about the 243 for my granddaughter. If there's no creep and it breaks consistently I'd appreciate an update. 3.5 is a little heavier than I like but I think it would be fine for her. Thanks.

Shows out of stock for me

Well I got my rifle today.  Was starting to wonder if it was going to show up at the store or not.  Never got an email or phone call but was told it was there when I called this morning.

First time I've really looked at an Axis up close.  I have to say I'm impressed with the rifle for what it is.  Considering it is an inexpensive rifle, it seems to be well made.  I'm looking forward to shooting it and seeing what kind of accuracy I can get out of it.  My only complaint so far is the trigger.  No surprise there.  I assume it is set so heavy for liability reasons.  Ill be ordering the spring kit soon.  Also planning on putting a better scope on it although the stock Bushnell would probably be ok if that was the only option a guy had.

Maybe we should start a "Cheap Rifles" thread??  I now have two cheap Savages, the other one is a semi auto 22 that is a blast to shoot.

Today I was able to pick up one of the .223 rem. that came available on Saturday.  Interestingly, it came without a scope.  The order clearly showed the XP model, which comes with a scope, so the store gave me a scope and rings.

I really don't want to get into it, but I have been very dissatisfied with Cabela's and their customer service.

After they made a different mistake with some ammo I was buying, and after several hours of trying to get things squared away, they offered to refund me via gift card but I told them that after the last few weeks and all of the problems I have had, I won't be shopping at Cabela's again.

I am a very patient person, but I will take my patience to Sportsmans Warehouse or anywhere else next time.

Loki.  I have a Savage model 11 XP trophy hunter in 6.5 Creedmore left hand. That needs a new home..

PastorJoel- sorry you've had bad luck with Cabelas. It's really been the opposite for me. I almost never buy anything there at regular price, but man do they have good sales. First, the Savage rifle for my daughter, $150, sure can't beat that deal. Just a couple days after that I noticed they had some polar fleece shirts on sale for $9.99. Ordered four of them, one for each member of the family. Picked them up from the store today, and as we were wandering through we saw chest waders on sale for $20. Bought one for the wife and one for each of my two daughters. They'll be great for when we go clam digging.

Nice looking gun, maybe I need to convince my wife she needs a new rifle.
