Savage Axis .243 youth rifle

Very nice. What kind of deal did you get?

My first 6.5 was an axis. Stock feels cheap but light and accurate. I’ll never get rid of it.

The non Accutrigger models do have a crappy trigger, but it can be easily fixed cheap with this

I own 2 and have owned a few more and all shot under MOA with hand loads. They are really great guns for the price.

$200 on rifle and $180 on scope

have only shot the Axis a few times but found the trigger pull to be a bit heavier than any other rifle I've shot. Not sure if it was stock or if the owner had adjusted it. Can anyone give some opinion on the trigger pull compared to other brands?

I had a 243 in pink camo for my daughter. Sucker would stack hornady factory ammo on top of each other as good as my custom gun. That being said stock is cheap and flimsy and the finish will rust in a safe without a ton of oil on it.
For the trigger ,, pull it down and clip about half off of the spring, put it back together and try it clip more if needed. I clipped about a full curl off of mine.
I’m not a gunsmith and make sure you drop it on the butstock hard after to verify it will not fire inadvertently.

My Axis .308 liked to not shoot when I pulled the trigger. Just constant light strikes. Primer would be dimpled but not ignite. I got rid of it.

For a rifle at that price point I'm not surprised they have the occasional QC issue.
