[QUOTE="game4lunch, post: 721804, member: 50299"] I see your original post was a month ago . . . but will give my 2 cents anyway. I love Savage. Have a model 11 in .308 that I have taken elk, mulies, and antelope at long range (longest was just under 400 yds). .308 is plenty gun for anything! So, I wanted a 25-06 to "play" with and didn't want to spend a house payment to get it. I took a chance and got the Savage Axis. To my amazement, it shot every bit as good as the model 11 .308! First time out shot 1" groups (as advertised!) at 100yds. (Have pics if you like.) Savage cuts back on stock, trigger (no accutrigger), and the like. All Axis come with detatchable magazine only because of how the action is built. They do not cut corners on barrels (I'm told they are made right next to the higher priced model barrels). They are 22" and Dual Pillar Bedded. Retail starting around $380 and street price a little over $300.00. This gun cannot be beaten at that price or more!! Spend your money on good optics instead of triggers, stocks and barrels. [/QUOTE]
