Greetings all.
I am looking for real opinions of the Edge/Axis rifle. I know that they are all over the interweb and in various magazines, but I would rather hear from genuine Savage shooters and fans. The reason I am asking this is because my son is looking to make the move from rimfire to centerfire this summer. My son and I decided on .223 as a starter. Since that caliber is available in the Axis line, we are Savage fans at home, and can reload to keep costs down, what better investment could be made for his first CF rifle. But, I need to hear from owners about the pros and con's before we go shopping. I expect to hear about the heavy trigger and that can be dealt with, what else?
If interested, we are looking at the Black/Blue, non-package model. We will scope it ourselves. My boy has taken a liking to prone shooting, so there will likely be a bi-pod on it as well.
So, what are your thoughts?

Shoot safe,
