  1. Notice: Effective 8/30/2025 I will be shutting down this site. After 24 years of operation the time has come. This is a decision I have been facing for the past 6-8 years now as both user interaction and revenues have continued to decline, and keeping it open just doesn't make fiscal sense at this point.

    Dates to Note:

    6/1/2025 - Paid Subscriptions and New User Registrations have been disabled

    8/1/2025 - New posts in the classifieds will be disabled

    8/30/2025 - This site will shut down and no longer be accessible

    One benefit of the Savage platform, whether it's an Axis or a 110-Series, is how easy it is to change barrels and how readily available pre-fit barrels are these days. Even though pre-fit barrels are intended to be ready to install right out of the box, it is highly ...

    I’ve owned my Savage Arms MKll-FV for about year and have been very pleased for the money spent. The plastic stock, though giving the rifle a rather “economy model” look is actually quite functional, at least in terms of the way the barreled action is secured to it. ...

We've been sharing a Savage 10FP in .308 which has worked, but being selfish, I slowly been accumulating the pieces to put together a rifle specifically for him so I could have mine back! A friend of ours ...

    The issue as to whether or not Savage 110-Series bolt handles can be used on Savage Axis rifles has come up numerous times on the forum since the Axis was launched in 2010. Each time we say "no", and each time there's at least one person who insists on disagreeing with us. ...
