Savage axis compact 7mm08

Has anyone ever fooled with one of these?
Littlecountry and I went get some soybean at the local hardware store yesterday and I saw a compact rifle behind the gun counter. I figured I’d let littlecountry shoulder it out of curiosity. The thing fits her like a glove and she’s been begging for a “deer killing rifle”. It feels like a pretty solid little rifle and my buddy that works the counter said he’d recommend it. I got delayed, but pulled the trigger on it. Just looking forward any info/upgrades for it since I’m not real familiar with the new savage rifles. What says the OB?

Solid caliber. I killed my first deer with a Remington model 7 708.

I have the exact one. You won’t be sorry. Mine is strait out of the box and is perfectly fine.

I bought the same gun for my son years ago. You won’t regret it

Buddy of mine has one in 7mm 08 and I have one for my lil girl in the OBs hated 243.
They are awesome lil guns for the money. They are extremely accurate and make excellent deer rifles.
Only complaint I have with mine is as with most guns these days, the finish is very prone to rust...

I have ruger's version of it for littlest Chandler. It's deadly accurate for such a good price

I've got this rifle. Kilt 3 deer with it this year and a pile of pigs over the last couple of years.

savage is shooting circles around everyone that's sub-$1000 off-the-shelf right now, including Tikka - thats per my 'smith in Woodworth. That caliber is awesome for hunting the southeast for whitetail, coyotes, etc. Good thing about savage, their barreled actions are so popular for custom builds, aftermarket stocks are limitless. you can re-stock it years down the road if you need it to fit better when she gets older. I would have one yesterday if I didnt already have a 7RM & a 243.

My kids have one. They’ve killed a pile of deer with it. It drives tacks. Don’t shoot the reduced recoil Hornady rounds. They suck and fragment and don’t exit. Fusion 140s. Don’t look back. I hunt with it in favor of my other rifles sometimes.

My 8 year old shoots that rifle in .308. Killed a deer and ear holed 3 pigs with it this year. First time shooting I loaded a couple of reduced recoils and a 165gr didn’t tell him anything. After the first 3 shots he got to the 165gr and when he shot all he said was that one was louder. Never put another reduced recoil round in the gun.

Just picked up a browning xbolt micro midas in 7mm08 "for the kids". Had some gift cards and it was on sale at Academy. Mounted a leupold vxr on it last night. Sweet little gun.
