I am a reasonably long time savage nut, and have recently added an Axis 243 for my son. I really did not research much, but know roughly what I am getting for that price point. What have been any common, if any, issues with them that I may be missing. One concern I have is the use of plastics for parts that may see a fair amount of use, safety area, clip, etc.

I opened it up and was surprised to see the extent of differences between the axis and the 110 series. Also, where can I find an adult size factory stock without going back to Savage. The youth model comes with a 50% off deal, but I dont know what that will end up costing.
