Savage Axis in .308 Win. Left handed, free floating bull barrel, pillar bedded action. $314 delivered from Bud's.

Not as nice as my Tactical I sold. Savages new definition of "Bull barrel" involves a lot less metal than it used to. And I dislike the stock...rounded forearm versus flat on bottom. The action seems the same as my Tactical. Doubt I can shoot MOA at 800 yards like I did with the old rifle, but it'll kill hogs. I'll zero it at 1 1/2" high at 100 yards, which will put it dead zero at 200. Mounted the Bushnell scope I won from Doc and a sling I had in a drawer...I'll change the sling to the old OD Marine sling later. I also do not like the detachable magazine. Flimsy. Tactical had an internal box magazine

Very nice, even tho the bolt handle is on the wrong side. :p

I think if you change the stock you will end up spending more than the rifle actually cost you. I agree with you, I prefer a flatter front end.

Lonestar grips.

That is a lot of gun for $300, Mike. Good show. I have not had a rifle for some years till recently when I bought an AR. It still feels weird as I have not made the transition yet. I would do a lot better with your BACON SHOPPING set up.

I think that rifle is the tops in bang 4 buck on the market. My son Seth is drooling for one. Wants to mount a bi pod on it. Enjoy, Mike.

set eye relief and leveled the scope today. Boresight and test groups shall have to wait until the festivities, such as they are, are over. Oh yeah, scope and rings are a one piece unit Game Reaper from DNZ. Billet aluminum, used one on the Contender and determined they are t*ts
