Savage Axis II 308

[Gunman9]

Ya with the accutrigger in it now it's crazy not to get the axis II. $329 shipped it was a steal!! The Weaver scope honestly isn't all that bad but it got replaced lol redfield

I'm putting a redfield on my .308. I love the x52 with the hunter reticle. Had to finish building my .223 first. Just got my stock from Boyds today, waiting on one for the .308 ( back ordered)

Where did you get it at for $329?

I wonder if I would be better off to keep my Stevens 200 in 308 as my hunting rifle and buy this Savage to build off of?

[bdshil]

As far as the econo rifles go the axis has MANY more aftermarket parts and they are so accurate it's worth building on. Ruger Americans are good and come with the accu trigger as well but I don't think anyone is making stocks for them....you can also get an axis with a threaded barrel to add a muzzle brake

[Gunman9]

Yes I seen that. But the Axis II doesn't come in a a threaded barrel right now. Iv always had savage rifles and couldn't see getting anything else. Though I did have a Browning A-Bolt in 308 and it was really nice!!

Should get my new stock for my .308 Monday. I will post some pics

[Gunman9]

Nice I have no idea when mine will ship :(

[bdshil]

Where did you order it from?

[Gunman9]

Boyds

[bdshil]

Oh..your stock. Did you do any kind of custom order?

[Gunman9]

Nope regular order

[Gunman9]

It's only been a week and a half since the date of order

[bdshil]

My first stock I ordered on Jan 22nd and still don't have it but it's because I added the high gloss finish and they were having trouble during the curing process with it so they ended up having to send me a regular satin finish. The second one I ordered Feb 15th and got it a couple of days ago....so like three weeks

[Gunman9]

Ya I think their site said they were back up 4 weeks now

[bdshil]

I was expecting up to six weeks so I was happy with three

[bdshil]

That's what it has said for a while but it's not taking that long

[Gunman9]

Oh got ya. Well I'm in no big hurry so I don't mind lol plus I love boyds stocks I have several of them

[bdshil]

My first one was done at three weeks as well but the finish was messed up or I would have got it
