Thru a deal I acquired a brand new Savage Axis .223 with Weaver scope rail and rings, a Bushnell AR223 BDC scope. I put the first rounds thru it (that I know of).
I put 30 rounds thru it first time out (ran out of ammo). Comfortable to mount and shoot. I would fire, check the target and adjust scope, fire, check the target and adjust scope. Maybe a minute between shots. Warm barrel didn't seem to effect POI.
The trigger is very comfortable to me. Smooth trigger. I don't know how many pounds pull but it not very heavy at all.
The only problem I had was loading rounds into the magazine. But I blame that on my beat up old hands.
My favorite caliber (after the 7mm rem mag). Light weight. Smooth trigger. Good scope. Yep. I like this rifle. One of the few 'out of the box', ready to go rifles I've ever acquired.
Just in time for deer and hog day after tomorrow. (Oh. And I "have" taken deer and hogs with .223. One shot.)
