Just a note here- To take 1.5 coils off a Axis is about a 10 minute job tops. To me (IMHO ) A pretty stock is nice but down the line in importance for a rifle. Accuracy is #1. I buy Savage.

''just a small question, why do some of you buy a rifle knowing going in that the stock has to be replaced and that 1.5 of a spring removed---this is why I continue to buy Vanguards, Ruger #1's and 700's, beautiful wood stocks right from the gitgo that do not have to be replaced, triggers that may not be perfect, but work just fine and accuracy that matches or comes very close to the Savages''
Mainly because the Savages are more accurate , I've seen many Remingtons require considerable post purchace gunsmithing & parts replacement @ considerable cost, before they could be considered acceptably accurate.

Been There beat me to it. I have 9 savages now. From 2 that are Axis to the 6MMBR match rifle--All shoot sub MOA. Did not take much on my part to work up a load for them either. I have not yet nor will I ever trash any other rifle out there ( to each there own ),But with that in Mind,You just don't match or beat Savage accuracy period. I hear a lot of people say my rifle shoots MOA. That's 1 inch at 100 yards, That is not very impressive at all, now I will say I do not have any magnum calibers in my collection. 243's,308,s are my big rifles.

I love the Savage rifles. Have a few and have had more. However for larger calibers i like my Kimbers better. Same accuracy but in my opinion i like the action on kimbers better.
