Asked if they would build an AXIS II; as all AXIS II's are standard actions; in a 257 Roberts, 24" barrel 1-10 twist, with a 3" chamber/freebore to the lands with a 100gn Nosler Partition. She said, we can do that, but you have to order through an authorized Savage dealer. the dealer orders it, we build and ship to dealer. You pay them....So I ordered through the dealer, will see what happens.....

Let us know. If it works I may want an Axis II in 250 Sav...


Pretty much worked out.24", 1/10, Except Savage built it as a short action. No big deal. I can change it over to a long action with about $45 in parts. Different mag spacer and a long action magazine. Savage gave me the part numbers. And of course I would need to lengthen the free bore.
