Found this response in the "comments" section of a somewhat negative review of a Savage Axis 270.

If you get this kind of Axis review response, heeee maaay be an Axis owner.

"...do you really think the buck you just dropped gives a crap if your rifle can shoot 1" or .75 " @ 100 yards or it has a cheap synthetic stock or a trick trigger? Gun snobs have turned more sportsman into bloviating blow holes than you can imagine. (including, and mainly "sports magazine writers") The bottom line is a good quick kill, not bragging about how much money you have to blow on your weapon or trying to sound like E Hemingway."
