Savage axis xp 30-06

<< < (6/7) > >>

7mm ed:
i have had my axis for 2 years got the scope combo . i have put better then 600 rds down it and never had a problem . every body can talk them down but for the money their a good buy . sure the scope is crap but go buy a better one, their not a bad rifle . and very  reliable and light good for long hikes . just my 2 cents

Give it up.  You're not going to change their minds when they refer to Savage's as cheap.   :dunno:  Just keep smiling and shooting small groups...   :tup:

Model 14 American Classic .308 Win
Model 11 .308 Win
Model 110 .243 Win
and a Remington Model 7 in .260 Win that I love, but it just can't shoot like the Savages.

The savage axis/edge is a bottom line rifle from a quality firearm company. THEY ARE MADE TO BE CHEAP, PERIOD !!!! They are not a $400, $500, or even a $350 rifle, they are made to fit into the sub $300 range, and they do a great job at it.

Do they have cheap stocks, yes, do they have cheap triggers, yes, do they shoot small groups, YES, are they reliable, yes. $100 dollars gets you a different quality of rifle, no matter what brand. If you want to buy a rifle that is low cost, accurate, and reliable the Axis is it, you could get a POS 770 Remington but they are such garbage Remington is embarrassed by them, or should be. All the Axis is a slightly modified 10/110 to be super efficient to build, cutting corners HAS to happen. Why do you think BiMart sells 700's from $389 all the way to over $1,000, cuz it costs more to build a better anything. Otherwise Coopers would be selling for $400 bucks.

So stop comparing them to much higher quality rifles. Do you complain about people who can only afford a Civic when a Lexus is a better vehicle?

Remember, your Remington 700's are POS compared to a lot of rifles, but no one says they don't do what they are supposed to do.

BTW, you can't put an accutrigger on a non AT rifle, period, unless you want to spend more time and money than it is worth in customizing the receiver to accept it. And I know some dumb **** will do it just to say I am wrong, whatever.

A lot of people can't cough up $1000 for a hunting rifle (or $800, $600, or even $500!)  As far as "cheap" rifles go, it sounds tough to beat the Axis/Edge.  Although, I've heard great things about the Marlin XLs as well.   Merry Christmas to all...   :)

Just shot it today for her first time.
All i can say, is she LOVED it! I like it as well! Solid, light, ACCURATE, and the recoil was fine for her, even after a box of shells, she said it didnt kick! I am really impressed! I know its no 2k gun, but a first time gun, for a 14yr girl, its hers, and shes proud.
The bad, i do need to change the trigger, have to swap out the new scope i got her, and i dont like how the bolt is stiff on the pull up, after a shot.
Other than that, i think she will like it for many years!
Hoping Montana will pick our name this year, and her dreams come true!

Now for graduation plans!!!!(I get to go too) :tung: :tup:
