You would have to call Savage to verify your thread count and size. Shilen does make bull barrels for the Savage but the specifics must be determined before proceeding. Some folks on other forums state that you'd have to use a Stevens barrel as the thread count matches the Axis's but that hasn't been officially verified to my knowledge. I've found that most folk's at my GC simply buy 2 or more Axis's to avoid the hassle of changing barrels for different calibers. I'm one of them! (Axis .22-250Rem, Axis .243Win.) Both rifles are scoped with Weaver 44/40 6x12 w/adj obj. and I used DNZ Gamereaper Mounts for both. I purchased both of these rifles and outfitted them complete for less than the cost of a single hunting rifle/scope combo from Sako.
