I did a layaway this week on a new .308 base model in left hand, $299 + the tax and fees came to $338
I have sold my .243 axis this week, and this arvo I ordered a new .243 Axis in left hand. Must say it is a little dearer this time than last, $550 for whole package last time, $580 just for left hand gun only, (cant buy pack version or S/Steel in Left)
I have kept my EGW 0 deg rail and spare mags etc... I am waiting to see what happens with boyds in the way of left hand stocks. Will have to do the usual trigger / stock mods again.
So know I need to go with a scope decision, looking at the redfield revolution 4x12x40... has anyone used one on a Axis and what mounts did you use?
Also over here they are listing the Axis as a new model for the price increase!!! has the stocks been improved?

I guess you are US based...
We pay that little bit extra here in Aussie. I think its because its sent with love from the US.
New Lefty should be here on Monday.
I have ordered a boyds stock, just standard one on pepper and plan to mod it to suit left hand action. Boyds have suggested in reply to emails I sent that if they do a lefty it will be $10 dearer than the right hand version. Making it impossible to export to Aus.
I decided on a Redfield Revolution, with Leupold 2.5" sunshade and Leupold end caps, mounted using Burris Sign zee 1" rings on to a egw rail. Ordered it on Thursday form the www.theriflescopestore.com.
I have looked long and hard at a vortex viper, Nikon etc.. read all about FFP and SFP... but at the end of the day it is a hunting rifle with a average target out to 200m.
Next I have to decide on doing the trigger myself again or going aftermarket...
I have ordered 2 sizes of mounts medium and high. I did measure a Redfield against my original sharpshooter bushnell that came with the right hand rifle package when I was doing the transfer to new owner at the local gun shop, Nikon prostaff defiantly doesn't fit, as long as the eyepiece outer dia is no bigger then 42mm I am pretty sure medium rings will do the job. The scope is the same basic dimensions as in eye piece area. I am not sure what size / brand mounts where with the original savage package I had.
Will keep you posted on fitment when it all arrives.

Does it just have to be under $100 for the product it self?
That's what I see trying to decipher ITAR.
But once a product is used, its value diminishes......
so a second hand stock would have a lower value and a party in the US could sell it overseas without violating ITAR as long as it's value was under $100.
or you wait to find what you want in Boyd's crazy deals section and pick one up for under the magic number.
