What says the OB? Worth buying as a new deer rifle for little Catahoula?

Got the .270 with Nikon BDC for around $145 with Cabelas matching Academy's sale price and using $300 in Cabelas club points. Straight shooter at 100 yds for sure. Nice deal for a nice rifle, I think.

Got the Axis in 7mm 08 for my two little Spoons. For the price point its a great rifle. The tang safety is easy for the kids also.

Axis seems to be a solid gun. Be sure the gun has a top notch recoil pad (get a new pad if necessary). At the range use a "sissy pad" and ear plugs plus muffs. Start your young ones off w/ reduced recoil ammo.

Ear plugs are the most important to me.
Young kids don't flinch from the kick so much as the pop and their ears ringing

Trigger pull is up there around 6lbs. I had to change out the trigger spring on my boy's 7mm08. Easy fix for $15. Great gun for the price.

My son has a Savage Axis .243, I dint think you'll find a better rifle for the money.

I've watched people on you tube do a trigger job in 20 minutes with a pair of snips by snipping a ring off the spring. I haven't done it yet to his.

Bought the 7mm 08 for my kid. Solid gun for the price. Well pleased.
