Looking at this rifle for my first rifle in a .308 cartridge. Anyone care to offer any advice or recommendations? Any words would be appreciated.

TIA!

To be honest, it's a piece of shite. They took everything about the A-Bolt and cheapened it.

If you're in BR, come to Bowie Outfitters and I can give you a rundown of good rifles that would be great as a first gun.

Just going to throw this out there. A friend of mine that has a rifle in about 25 different caliber a and reloads for them all bought a savage axis 2. I know cheap pos right? Right. Now that that's out of the way I shot an egg off a post at 253 yards laser range finder yesterday. That little cheap arse gun will shoot. Don't know if he just got lucky or what but savage is turning out some good rifles right now.

Carson is right. The tikka t3 is the best. It's what I shoot. The synthetic lite version can be found in the 550 range. My second choice would be the weatherby vanguard s2. It's in the 500 range. Both sub moa guns. 7-08, 270 or 308 are prob the best deer rounds for people to start out wt for a variety of reasons. 30-06 is tried and true. All are easy to find. Also the tc venture seems like a decent gun as well. I like vortex scopes as an affordable option.
