Cabelas had a sale on Axis and Axis II rifle and scope combos on Halloween and at a good price, made even better by a Savage rebate. .....so I picked up an Axis in 30-06 and an Axis II in .308 (what they had left in stock by the time I got to the web site).
The 30-06 came with a 3-9X40 Bushnell and the .308 with a Weaver Kaspa 3-9X40. I'm a little leery of the Kaspa and a lot leery of the Bushnell, especially given the calibers of the rifles involved. I'm thinking of just taking the Bushnell off before I even take it to the range for the first time and just start out with a Vortex, say at least a Crossfire II.....and craiglist off the Bushnell for whatever I can get out of it. I've never had a Bushnell (except for a cheap set of binoculars once back in the day).........or should I take a chance? Opinions/thoughts?
