Just bought an Axis in the 308 caliber. The gun shot under a 1 inch three shot group (.80) at 100 yards with Federal FMJ ammo. The rest of the groups were around an inch. I have two other older Savages (110 in 22-250, 111 in 7 mag). I think this gun is a little more accurate. The gun came with a Bushnell scope that will do for know. The trigger is the biggest issue. Pulls over 6 lbs. Looking to get the basix trigger soon.
