What is the difference between the savage edge and axis

I learned long ago you can't reason someone out of something they don't reason themselves into. Oh ok so I guess have you guys heard anything good about the gun or should I say anything bad. I watched David Petzl from Field and Stream do a rifle review and rave about 1" groups from the one he tested. I bought a. It is very accurate and I have killed several hogs and coyotes with it. I think it is a good value. I have a. I have shot it a lot and have had no problems.

Plus it is pretty like all Savages are! Joined: Mar Lots of creep and I'm guessing lb pull. And it no longer has even the basic adjustment pull weight. Joined: Jun Korean Redneck. My brother has a basic one in I've shot alot. As a huge fan of the Accutrigger, I really didn't like the trigger. Once I got use to it then the weapon shot fine, within 1. But everytime I get back on it after not shooting it for a while, then it takes me a few shots to get used to the hard pull again.

However, I've been told there is info out there where you can self adjust the trigger. The Axiom uses a different version of the typical non-Accutrigger Savage trigger.

The stevens is basiclly a savage without the accu-trigger. Both are good guns, but if you want to do upgrades to it, you will have to get a Savage or Stevens.

Remember Me? Advanced Search. Results 1 to 3 of 3. Camo finish is available at additional cost. Aesthetically, the Axis has "futuristic" styling, with deeply relieved notches in the bolt and recoil pad, excessively fluted comb, textured surfaces not checkering at the forearm and pistol grip and a deeply finger grooved forearm that complete the theme.

I hesitate to call it loud, as the overall matte black of the rifle mutes the unnecessary styling accents. Nevertheless, it does have a tactical styling theme. I mounted a Bushnell Elite x40mm scope on the Axis and was off to do some shooting. Dialing in the Axis, switching to Federal Premium PS loads using the Barnes 55 grain Triple Shock bullet, the groups shrank to just under half an inch, despite gusty outdoor range conditions. This is an astounding level of accuracy for a bargain-priced rifle.

The Axis' action is slick and smooth and cartridges fed out of the detachable box magazine with no hassle. Extraction and ejection, via a plunger ejector, was trouble-free. This was a good thing, since the ejection port is an oval slot in the bulky, milled from bar stock receiver that limits access should there be a jam to clear. Compared to an open top receiver, such as found in the Savage , the oval ejection port also increases the difficulty of loading a single cartridge directly into the chamber.

Although not the same as the Model action, the Axis does use a similar multi-piece bolt that has two front locking lugs degree bolt lift and cocks on opening. The Axis also has the familiar Savage barrel-nut, a very good thing. Rather than fighting tolerance stack-up, the barrel nut allows for precise head-spacing of each individual rifle.

The Axis shoots like a Savage, my impression being this is primarily due to Savage's uniform attention to chamber machining, head-spacing and barrel quality. There is nothing in the marketplace, that I am aware of, that is competitive with the Axis in price.

It seems amazing that you can get, in , an under three hundred dollar street price rifle capable of one half MOA groups right out of the box, but that's precisely what the Axis delivered.
