Damn I wish I could have gotten one of those 45-70s.

That's an easy decision---buy BOTH! You'll find a good use for the one you decide not to keep for yourself.
Some years ago I bought 3 Stevens Model 200 rifles, all in 270 Win at an Academy clearance sale for $180 each. The Stevens was being discontinued, to be replaced by the Axis. I put all 3 to good use. First one was converted to 221 Remington Fireball for prairie dog hunting. Second was used a deer rifle gift from the men of our church to our pastor. Last one was made into a 20 Practical (basically a 204 Ruger using 223 Remington brass) for prairie dog hunting.

My first gun was a savage .243 and it’s still a solid gun.
Are these fairly easy to upgrade? Like the trigger and maybe a wood stock? Doesn’t need to be amazing but would like a good 250 yard beater gun I enjoy.

Boyds are about the only place to get a wood stock that I know of. Look to pay 150-180.00 for one. Fctory trigger can be tweaked and Timney makes one for about 120.00. I had 2 Axis' and both shot extremely well. Both were MOA with factory shells and the 270 Hardwood I had would shoot .3-.5 MOA with handloads.

if you show the ad to academy, they will beat it by 5% and are more likely to have it in stock

Looks like the run they had in august a couple years ago. So annoying living in northern Virginia for things like this. Almost none of the stores sell rifles

A buddy of mine bought the 30-06 and the first shot was a misfire. He has shot about 20 times since with no problem and once he got the scope sighted in, he has been very accurate with it.

I really don’t need them but it sure is hard at that price lol. I’m saving for a good thermal tho...

Showing 397.00 at stores near me...according to that link at least
Posted on 1/22/19 at 6:56 am to SportTiger1
Mine also show 397.
Posted on 1/22/19 at 7:03 am to NOLAGT
I can personally guarantee none are available in the greater BR area. Except for cortana walmart. 
Posted on 1/22/19 at 7:36 am to SportTiger1
Did you click to find your local stores? Because the price is $397 and then goes to $199 for me when I search my zip for local stores.
Posted on 1/22/19 at 7:52 am to baldona
Well it has changed now. When I searched before it showed results for both, not it doesn’t pull up anything. Maybe WM pulled the plug on the item number?
Posted on 1/22/19 at 8:49 am to NOLAGT
It was down for me at one point but back up locally now for me FYI.
