[QUOTE="ShootMo, post: 2533577, member: 112441"] I did exactly this same thing a year ago. But I took a LOT of time scrounging for deals. I started with an Axis because it was cheap. It was a 30/06 from gunbroker in the sh#tty plastic stock. But I bought it for 169.00. I yanked the stock of course, but the barrel shot surprisingly well with thorough load development. Anyhow, now it sits in an MDT chassis that I found for a once-in-a-lifetime deal and wears a .243Win Savage barrel. The current barrel also shoots incredibly well after thorough load development. It also now wears an Elftmann trigger that breaks exceptionally well in my opinion. I say do it do it do it! But as SmithTX alluded to, I wouldn't start with the Axis. There is far more aftermarket support for Savage's 10, 12/110, 112 platforms. [/QUOTE]
