Also a rifle that could be easily rebarreled later if wanted.
Steve, I hate to rain on your parade, but I believe the barrel on the Axis is "Pinned" and is not interchangeable. You need to check on that first.

What's the recoil pad like on that Boyd's stock?
Savage Axis rifles should not have a pinned barrel, that is what the barrel nut is for. Any small thread Savage 10/110 barrel should work.

They do offer an upgrade in the "custom options" to a Pachmayer pad for $30, and if I were ordering it for a harder hitting caliber than .223, I would have added it.
Is this an option you are given when you go to "checkout" on their site, or is it a separate item?
