    My Axis II 30-06 needed about 8 inches (at 50 yds) of windage and 2 inches elevation adjustment when it was fresh outa the box. But it's been sitting rock solid ever since. I think maybe they've been bore sighting them at 10 feet.......
    I take responsibility for my actions.....not yours.

    If they bore-sight them at all. I have examined 2 "package deal" Axis rifles with scopes in stores on which the scope mounts were not even screwed all the way down. Not really a criticism of Savage, as I don't expect it all to be done for me and I am sure it would save some fraction of a dollar for them not to have an employee take the time to bore-sight.
