After the rebate, the final price for the rifle was $285. At the time of the purchase, Savage was offering a $50 mail in rebate. Anyone can drop a bunch of money on a rifle and expect it to shoot, the real question is how well does an inexpensive factory rifle shoot? I paid $335 for my Axis HB after tax. It would be difficult to discuss the Axis without talking about the price, its’ primary selling point. From the factory, my rifle’s trigger averaged 7 pounds 6.5 ounces. The trigger is possibly the biggest downside to the rifle. While this system could use some ergonomic improvement, it does feed well. 001″ over SAAMI minimum.Ī small tab on the front of the detachable magazine allows the magazine to be retained and removed. The Axis HB, is equipped with a 22″ long heavy barrel. The bolt handle can be manipulated with the safety on or off. Unlike the 3 position safety found on the 10/110, the Axis has a two position safety. To switch between long and short action cartridges, an interchangeable trigger guard on the bottom of the stock is changed, the rest of the stock and then action stay the same. The same action is used for both short and long action rifle cartridges.
Primary extraction of the Axis isn’t accomplished through the baffle on the bolt like the 10/110, instead, the cam is cut into the side of the bolt to facilitate this.Īction screw hole spacing on the AXIS is unique, 4 25/32″, and not the same as other Savage rifles. Steel, quick detachable, sling studs are located at the front and rear of the stock. The stock has thin metal tubes that act as pillar to prevent it from compressing as the action screws are tightened.Ī soft rubber recoil pad finishes off the stock.

To cut down on weight and cost, the inside front of the stock has a series of plastic ribs to add rigidity (see image above), however, the fore end is still easy bent and manipulated. It is slick to the touch, lightweight, flimsy and flexible. The stock on the Axis is injection molded plastic.

The Axis doesn’t use the same recoil lug as the 10/110, instead, it is notched in the front of the receiver to accept a free floating lug that simply slides into place. The barrel nut system on the barrel and outside diameter of the action of the Axis are the Model 10/110. Having read quite a bit about it, I headed to my local sporting goods store and picked up a Axis HB (heavy barrel) chambered in 308 Winchester. While it is has similarities to the Savage Model 10/110, features of the Axis are geared toward selling the rifle for a low price. The Savage Axis (originally branded the Savage Edge) is a budget rifle with a strong following.
