Ordered one Wednesday in 22-250. I will change out the scope and give it a go when it delivers. I'm curious if it is an identical stock to the regular axis so I can get a Boyd's on it.
From looking at the Savage page it looks like the same Axis with an accutrigger?
I ordered the axis II xp in .308 and can't wait to get in.
You'll have to let us know what you think of it. An Axis with Accutrigger....really like the ideaQuote:

LOL....Killjoy

Funny, I don't remember ANYBODY going coo coo over that one lol. :-)
And I think comparing the Axis 2 to a deuce in red is a bit harsh. I think it's a logical evolution, and a good idea. Heck if the availability of aftermarket stocks improves, I might even buy one.
Maybe he was hoping they changed the rear portion of the receiver and actually had a recoil lug that was a part of the barrelled action and not a little piece of tin that only contacts the receiver in a small notch?
I was looking at the price difference yesterday and I can't really see spending the extra $130 just to get an Accu-Trigger. when I can get an aftermarket trigger for $100 or rework the factory trigger.
But wait, you get a scope with that price also.:rolleyes:Quote:

Glad I'm not the only one who thinks that. I still can't believe they discontinued the Model 24 and replaced it with...that....thing.Quote:
