I know a lot of guys like em, but I'd skip the Axis for anything based on the 110 action every time.
I had one of the early ones (Edge) and it was gone in short order because of the Trigger (after tune up it was still terrible), The cheesy stock, and the weirdo recoil lug arrangement. I took good care of it but whatever the matte finish was started flaking off the barrel in short order. It was also the first Savage I owned that I just couldn't get to shoot.
Ordered it sight unseen based on the reviews and boy was I disappointed. Learned a lesson and wont make that mistake again. I know there's more aftermarket now but in my opinion the squeeze aint worth the juice. Took my beating and moved on.
