I received a shooting industry magazine yesterday with a Savage add for the new Axis II. It looks like they are putting out a couple of models this year that will have the accutrigger. This may be old news, but I though I would share just in case. In my opinion the accutrigger will make the Axis so much more of a player.
I hadn't heard about this. Good info!
Thanks for the heads up! Good to hear it!

Thanks to teebirdhyzer's post, I did a little research:
Although I have no confirmation from Savage, it looks like the Axis will be available (as the Axis II) with the accutrigger later on this year.
They will have 22" barrels and will also be available in the XP configuration with probably a Weaver Kaspa 3x9x40 scope mounted.
They will likely have new youth models available as well, chambered in 223 Rem, 243 Win, and 7mm-08 Rem, in plain, camo and muddy girl camo.

Thanks to 1shot1kill on the nchuntandfish forum for some of this info.
There are other models, but the above info is all I could glean at this time.
Very cool! I wonder if it will have a modified/redesigned accutrigger, or if the bracket will be more like the one from the 110s?
One of the sites I saw said that it would be about $40 more than the comparable standard Axis. Not too bad if that's the case. But, I did find two sites that have them listed for about $412 for the 243 XP (both listed as out of stock), which was about $66 more than their standard Axis package. Neither are sites that I'm familiar with.
I've read decent things about the Kaspa scopes, but I've never tried one myself.
I wonder if that also includes improvement to the stock? Ruger is coming out with revamped versions of it's American rifle series which are looking to put more outstanding features at a low price point in consumer entry-level rifles than I've ever seen before. We win!
Battle of the budget rifles.
I love affordable, decent guns. I'm giong to hold off on my .243 to see how these are.
How about a run in .221 Fireball! I'm in for one!
Or 250 savage.
40 bucks more for an Accu-trigger sounds good to me.
Send a letter to Savage Arms. It can't hurt!
Hmm I think I would base some of my new builds on the axis if it had the factory accutrigger.
2014 is looking good so far!
I honestly just prefer the enclosed qction on the Axis over the open action of the 10/110 series. Perhaps its from all my time in the desert and I'm just tired of cleaning sand out of rifles or maybe it just makes more sense to me!? Regardless they are great to build on!
Exactly. I want some lrp left hand actions but that is not going to happen unless I buy them and send them to Fred.Quote:

I like the MSRP $0.00. :boink:
yea,wonder why they listed them in combo only form.
At that MSRP, I might even purchase two of them. :rolleyes:
I wonder why they insist on the girl-pink thing. My daughter (every bit a teenage young woman) can't stand pink.
I think it's to make guns more palatable to the anti gun crowd. Just my thought on that.Quote:

Hehehe thomae just the opposite for my little girl...34 years old and got the pink camo on her Toyota truck, wanted/got pink handles for her carry gun and has it on her bow!! :pQuote:

If pink camo is what she wants, (or doesn't want) it's all good with me.
Pink is fine....but a Toyota truck??
Yep has the pink camo of deer racks across her back glass.....
I'll need a bigger safe........
Well heck, I just picked up my second Axis last week (308). If I had known they were coming out with the Axis II, I probably would have held off. O well, just another excuse to add a third one. The day they add magnum calibers (if they ever do) I will be all over a 300 Win Mag.
I wonder how long it will take Boyds' and others to make a stock for the new Axis II? Who knows, maybe it will utilize the same trigger guard and magazine catch system.
Looking at it I would guess the only change is the addition of the Accu-Trigger. Sure someone will have some word on it after the shot show though.
This may be old news, but I hadn't seen any mention of it here so figured I'd post it for those who weren't aware. At the 2014 Shot Show, Savage introduced their new Axis II XP package. The new model has the Accutrigger and an upgraded (???) scope. It is also available in Youth and Youth Muddy Girl configurations as well, and apparently the same calibers as the former Axis.

I'd rather they just offer the gun only instead of any of the poor quality scopes that they, and most other manufacturers include in their package deals.
On a side note, I notice that so far, they're only offering the new Axis II Youth models in .243. I wonder when/if they plan to offer them in .223 & 7mm-08 also, as in the original Axis Youth models? I would assume that the original model axis' will likely be phased out before too long, unless maybe they plan to keep them as a lower cost alternative to the newer model, now that they are no longer listing the Stevens 200 on their site. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Wish they would offer a .204 ruger,but might have to get one in .25-06!
I want one in .260.
Zanders has them in stock now, package. Just got the sale email.
