I recently got a savage axis with heavy barrel and accu trigger in 223.
I recently found out a 22-250 or 243 would have been a better round for long range varmints. I hear I can get barrels for the axis. anyone know how much these cost?
really don't want to buy a completely new gun.
Any small shank barrel in 22/250 for the Savage 10/110 series will work, you'll also have to change the bolt head and magazine to make it work for you.
what do you mean by bolt head? I think the gun has a long action if that helps. where can I find the barrels? and how much do they run?Quote:

awesome, thanks. now all I have to do is find a barrel.Quote:

Also make sure the bolt head you get is for a short action. I know the Axis is a long action, but it uses a short action bolt head.
