Remington 770 vs Savage Axis - 10/15/11
Shot both today during a sight in session. The Axis was brand new with the packaged scope. The Remington was an older model that also had the package scope.
These are competing models in the value category. The triggers were the same. The scope on the Remington was a real handicap. The cheap package scope on the Axis brought in tighter groups.
Ergos? I remember a few times having to pull up before firing just to readjust my hand on the Axis. The contoured pistol grip kept distracting me.
I could get use to the grip on the Axis (maybe) or put a better scope on the Remy.
In the end, given the opportunity to pick a free one off the shelve, my hand would levitate toward the edge.
