[QUOTE="toddc, post: 1257359, member: 4566"] Heck yeah! Welcome to the world of NUTS. Don't use an Axis it has some parts availability issues and interchange issues. Buy a better trigger or tune the stock one. Add Aftermarket recoil lug. Lap action to recoil lug and lug to barrel nut juncture, to 90%+ contact level.. I always lap lugs as well since it's so easy on a Savage. Pillar bed stock or use a chassis. Screw it all together paying attention to correct action screw torque. If it won't shoot under .5 MOA, take some shooting lessons. SA has many more stock options and the Creed will fit in the stock mags no problem. I usually build on LAs so I can run stuff seated out and I may have 5 or 10 barrels on 1 action over time so I like the versatility and suffer with the stocks available. Good luck and have fun. Best part about Savages is I decided to build a 7 SAUM on Thanksgiving day. Found a barrel in classifieds on here and ordered everything else. Screwed it all together in 6 days using no parts I had on hand. Try that with a Remmy. Speaking of Remmy's take a look at the Remage system also. Better stock selection, triggers and you can even run a custom action. [/QUOTE]
