I found that my bolt handle nut was loose on my new Axis .223. It wasn't hard to fix with the proper sized Allen wrench, but I was just wondering if this was a common thing when they are brand new. This is one of those Walmart models that aren't on the Savage site. Love the rifle, though I'm having a heck of a time finding FMJ ammo for it. As of late I can only find the Tulammo and I won't use that. I did buy a box of soft point Winchester 55gr, but for target practice I would rather have the other.
