Hello!
I am just jumping in and I'm picking up some hunting rifles for my girls. I have a friend that has a pretty good discount on guns, so I'm trying to decide between the savage axis II XP and the Model 11 TH.

I can get the Model 11 for $379, and wait for around 2 weeks to get it shipped to me, or I can go to the store and buy the axis II for $360 locally tomorrow.

The only real difference is that the local is the youth model(its for a 10 year old girl), and the 11 is full standard, so I'll have to cut the stock for now.

Grandpa has decided to get both girls Boyds stocks for Christmas, so I'm not all that worried about stocks.

How much better is the 11 than the axis II. Also, the guns are primarily for hunting, but we've got a nice range about 5 minutes from the house, so we'll definitely be doing some target shooting.

THanks!
