Just bought my first Savage Rifle a Axis II 270 Win in camo from Bass Pro it has the Accutrigger hope it works out for deer hunting. List price was $429 after rebate $379.00 thought that was a good deal. Found out also that the rifle is a Bass Pro exclusive. It did come with a Weaver 3x9x40 scope also.
Congratulations and welcome to the Brotherhood. That rifle should be perfectly fine for deer hunting. Make sure you give it a one over before you go to the range and ensure that the action screws are in tightly and you're probably going to want to remount your scope with some new rings and a one piece rail. The bases that come with the Axis are notoriously problematic and almost everyone that I know that has ever had one has changed them out.
Change bases and scope without firing. Wish I could find a 1 piece pictanny rail searching the net no luck so far.
Google Weaver or EGW along with Axis. Also EGW is a site sponsor just click on the link. Amazon has them at a decent price as well.
Thanks will check that out.Quote:

Rifle shoots decent with factory ammo but I'm sure it will do better once I load some better stuff & replace stock with a Boyd's.
Received the EGW base today now just have to get some rings looks really strong I will be buying more of them for my 2 Remy 700's.
This is the one I have, works great.Quote:
