Well- I just ordered a stainless Axis in .30-06. Apparrently the price on the 114 classic stainless has gone up a bunch. As my dealers prices are much higher to order that gun than what i am finding online. That also could be a case of poor wood or old stock they are trying to clear out.

I think i am better off this way anyways. I can afford more for a scope and I won't worry about the gun when i am in the field. I am hoping this one will print .5 inch groups as well as my .223 Axis does.

I am thinking of a Leupold VX3 for this gun- ganna do a little more research on that.
