Flyer from Cabelas, they have Savage Axis rifles for $219 ($269 with $50 rebate) this weekend. Various calibers.
Thoughts?

How could you go wrong at that price?
Bet it shoots well, too.

Dayum. A new trigger for the "assault weapon" 223 or a Savage haw...uh, i mean hog killing machine. Darn.

Just took possession of a Savage Axis I (with the regular trigger) a few weeks ago - in .308 Win.
I like it very much - for the price mentioned, I get a .223 to accompany it, in the second.

This is a great loaner gun for the guy at work, the guy next door, grandkids, etc. hand it out and if u never get it back you're out two bones and no hard feelings.

amazing that folks can ding a rifle that shoots well enough to get the deed done.
Guess I'm a dummy for having a few 788s, the axis of the day... not sure we ever paid over about 90 bucks for em.
Shot great. Ugly as sin, triggers sucked beyond belief...

You might try looking around on the net a bit and checking out the problems associated with these rifles, of which there are plenty. A friend bought one for his kid. Had a headspace issue. He bought a Ruger American and never looked back.

Shot great. Ugly as sin, triggers sucked beyond belief... The 788 was a great value and had a nice, crisp, trigger. The Axis is, to me, the current version of Savage's 340 series, right down to the crappy trigger. I don't care for the stock ergs of the Axis when compared to the other rifles in its market niche. I think that I'm going to miss the Marlin X guns.

Wish I'd have gotten those nice crisp 788 triggers on ours.
The ergo of a stock is an individual fit thing.
RE the headspace, I had not heard of that, but I've seen that on all kinds of guns, simple head it back to factory and correct IMHO. Just like we did with a Ruger 77 for a friend and one of the junky Win 70s of that certain era where they were sloppy...

There are also ejection issues. Also magazine issues. The Harbor Freight tool of rifles. A 788 is a pretty big step up, as is a Ruger American.
