[QUOTE="nocannons, post: 1836893, member: 69796"] Got sucked in to creedmore vortex 2 yrs. ago. Bought savage axis in heavy barrel. Think something from above was trying to tell me something. First it took me almost 2hours and about 50 patches before I got it clean enough to suit me. Then mounted scope and all excited to get to range. High hopes. Fired 3rds at 50 yds. Not to be found on paper. Sad end to that day was could not adjust scope far enough with supplied rail. Put on luepold bases to get enough windage adjust. Confidence already in question had decided I wanted to try solid copper bullets. Gun was on at 100 with jacketed bullets. Shot my first group and did not find it on target. looked up close and found a 1 1/2 group 4 in. high and 18 ins. right. Buddy told me that was my 5 shots. Another load proved it. Needless to say this gun is no longer in my possession. I have to say that I have owned many savage rifles and was very satisfied just not this one. [/QUOTE]
