But it suffers from lack of support by after market parts vendors and a plastic trigger guard for which there is no replacement.

Just wanted to throw out some info.... There is a replacement metal trigger guard for the Axis... I have one. Ordered directly from Savage. I've replaced the barrel on mine (22-250) swapped barrel out before it needed to be even... Wanted better accuracy and got it. After market support is very lacking however.
