I got it in the basic black stock.  I like it, its comfortable, and I like how the front of the stock is ergonomically fit for your fingers.  Free floated barrel too.  I wanted the 243 but they didn't have one so I just snagged the 223.  I also looked at the remington 770 which was the same price (but in 243), and I didn't like it as much as the axis, it felt heavy and bulky.

I know exactly what you mean, I actually like the Axis synthetic stock better than the standard Savage one! Be glad you got the Axis over the 770, those things are junk!
The reason there are so many Ruger upgrades is because they're necessary.

I just bought the axis in .308, but no scope. I put a Nikon 3x9 on it that I had extra. Walmart in stock

Lots of info on here for Savages.

With a little work you can change barrels & calibers your self.

Nice group! Looks good!  Quick question for you, will a .22lr bore brush do the job in the 223?  I can't find a 223 brush anywhere!

Yes a .22 will work. How's the trigger on your gun? When I picked mine up I bet it was at least 7 pounds, nice and crisp but really heavy.

If you want here's a link to a cheap trigger adjustment. Worked great for me and easy to do yourself.
