I hadn't heard about this. Good info!
I received a shooting industry magazine yesterday with a Savage add for the new Axis II. It looks like they are putting out a couple of models this year that will have the accutrigger. This may be old news, but I though I would share just in case. In my opinion the accutrigger will make the Axis so much more of a player.

Thanks for the heads up! Good to hear it!

Thanks to teebirdhyzer's post, I did a little research:
Although I have no confirmation from Savage, it looks like the Axis will be available (as the Axis II) with the accutrigger later on this year.
They will have 22" barrels and will also be available in the XP configuration with probably a Weaver Kaspa 3x9x40 scope mounted.
They will likely have new youth models available as well, chambered in 223 Rem, 243 Win, and 7mm-08 Rem, in plain, camo and muddy girl camo.

Thanks to 1shot1kill on the nchuntandfish forum for some of this info.
There are other models, but the above info is all I could glean at this time.

Very cool! I wonder if it will have a modified/redesigned accutrigger, or if the bracket will be more like the one from the 110s?
One of the sites I saw said that it would be about $40 more than the comparable standard Axis. Not too bad if that's the case. But, I did find two sites that have them listed for about $412 for the 243 XP (both listed as out of stock), which was about $66 more than their standard Axis package. Neither are sites that I'm familiar with.
I've read decent things about the Kaspa scopes, but I've never tried one myself.
I wonder if that also includes improvement to the stock? Ruger is coming out with revamped versions of it's American rifle series which are looking to put more outstanding features at a low price point in consumer entry-level rifles than I've ever seen before. We win!

Battle of the budget rifles.
I love affordable, decent guns. I'm giong to hold off on my .243 to see how these are.
How about a run in .221 Fireball! I'm in for one!
Or 250 savage.
40 bucks more for an Accu-trigger sounds good to me.
Send a letter to Savage Arms. It can't hurt!
Hmm I think I would base some of my new builds on the axis if it had the factory accutrigger.
2014 is looking good so far!
The one who dies with the most toys still dies--except in Christ.
I honestly just prefer the enclosed qction on the Axis over the open action of the 10/110 series. Perhaps its from all my time in the desert and I'm just tired of cleaning sand out of rifles or maybe it just makes more sense to me!? Regardless they are great to build on!
The Axis 2 is listed on Savage arms sight.
I like the MSRP $0.00.
yea,wonder why they listed them in combo only form.
At that MSRP, I might even purchase two of them.
I wonder why they insist on the girl-pink thing. My daughter (every bit a teenage young woman) can't stand pink.
My daughter wants one of the pink camo ones bad. I don't want to get one since it will get handed to the boy in a few years then I'll end up buying another one!
Welcome to my home.....FYI..... That locked door you kicked down was for your protection.... not mine!!
It's all good. Isn't it nice that daughters are all different? I think so.
If pink camo is what she wants, (or doesn't want) it's all good with me.
Pink is fine....but a Toyota truck??
