    Creating an axis 450bm?


    I’ve got an axis rifle in 223 I don’t use and would love to turn it into either a 350 legend or 450bm. I see savage doesn’t offer the 450 in an axis platform so is this even possible?

    I would guess as long as you can find someone that manufactures a barrel for the savage and the right boat face then it should be good to go

    I'm looking there and I don't see for 50 bushmaster or 350 legend offered you may call them because I know they do custom chambers they just don't guarantee them like they do their line UPS

    Shaw makes a barrel for it. One thing I don’t understand is posts saying make sure it’s not stagger fed. Aren’t all savage mags stager fed? All I need is a 2rd mag.

    I think they are staggered in the mag but like mine ends up center feed when the round is pushed up.

    There are some many cheap rifles in 450 Bush now that it's cheaper to just buy a new one.

    The older Model 10/110 actions had the magazine attached to the action and they were stagger feed.

    I built a 450B a couple years back with a Green Mountain i6" Bull barrel I picked up for just over $100.
    It went to the range one time. The only thing I ever owned that kicked worse was a 20ga rifled slug barrel on a TC Encore.
    I had a 450B AR15 and there was no comparison in recoil.

    Was a 243 HB, till I put the 16 1/2" GM barrel on it. Dandy shooter, but you can buy one finished cheaper.
