If you are patient, you can find a really nice Savage Model 11 with the Accutrigger for around $300, used but excellent condition. I would take this over the Axis or other economy package.

I have two and both are outstanding in function and accuracy.

You can swap out this synthetic stock for a Bell and Carlson or a Boyd's stock and you would be amazed at the difference...

I'd take the Savage over any of the other ones you have mentioned.

Maybe watch the Ruger Americans. The new models coming out may lessen resale on the first gens. I have a couple of the first gens and they are a terrific gun fro the money.
