How is the recoil? I know the 30-06 is a bark/kick(short and synthetic), compaired to the 270 she has learned to like. I wanted more knockdown power for elk. I know a 270 will work when hit rite, but i want no chance of a wounded animal. I know they are the all around caliber for Washington, just worried she will start to flinch if its a hard trigger, and a loud/sharp kick to her.
I am looking into a buffalo or moose hunt for her graduation gift, when she dose, i want her prepared.

If the kick is too much on the first shot or three stop shooting it. Get her a good pad and see if that helps. Buffalo or moose hunt for graduation?! Can I be your daughter some time?

Yes you can get the accutrigger installed but unless you like the glock trigger feature it's gonna be the same price as a decent aftermarket trigger.
Where is it possible to get the Accutrigger installed on the Axis/Edge rifle? Savage doesn't show they offer that as an option on those rifles.
I have 3 Savage rifles and one Stevens 200 LA only one is an Accutrigger model the others are not adaptable but I have aftermarket triggers in both of those. Just curious :IBCOOL:

FAL, maybe my wording was confusing. I meant if you purchase the accutrigger you can put it in that gun. Did not mean it was possible to buy it with trigger installed.
Wraithen, the Axis/Edge is slightly different than the Savage 10/110 line of firearms and the Accutrigger cannot be installed, at least not done safely. There are better triggers available to install that will fit without creating a monster. I commented on it thinking you had already somehow done this swap, it appears you have not. If I am incorrect please by all means provide me with the detailed info that proves it can be done safely as I know of two people that have the Axis/Edge rifles that hate their triggers and would like to install the Accutrigger system. So far Savage states it cannot be done and the gunsmiths on the Savage websites pretty much state the same thing. :dunno:

FAL, is the stock on your stevens really weak? Tried to use a tricep strap and it tilted the receiver/barrel pretty far. Almost made my crosshair look like an X. I may end up buying an aftermarket stock and changing bolt/barrel for 2 custom guns :chuckle:

The factory stock is worse than Gumby, so I swapped it out for a Laminated Thumbhole Tundra Deluxe from Stockysstocks. Way Mo Betta now :chuckle:
If you want a really good barrel look at the CBI barrels from Northland Shooters Supply, Jim Briggs is the man you need to contact......good stuff Maynard! :tup:

Esspecialy when the local Bi Mart has matte blued Rem700's in any flavor you like, long or short action. With the scope , if that's what your into. For $369.00.
I am pretty sure you are thinking of a 770 combo there, that would be the cheapest I have heard of in quite a while on a 700 by at least $100.

No, I am not. I purchased a mate blued .308 ADL SPS with the Remington 3-9 scope, bases and rings for 369.00 and th same rifle in stainless chambered in .300 Win mag for 439.00 witch I used as the donor rifle to build my 450 Ultra Magnum. Both rifles have a synthetic stock that looks just like the new SPS but with a blind magazine.

I have a standing order/ reservation for the next stainless Rem700 combo in .300 Ultra Mag their warehouse gets. Already have a HS Stock and bottoms metal waiting for it. $439.00

When the local Bi-Mart sold out the last of the matte blue older ADL's. I purchased several for 299.00, a .270 and a 06. I used them for the actions and custom builds.

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.

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.

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:

Never had the bolt so tight at the first pull up, the rest of the action works very smooth. Just never experienced this with any others i own.
