Thoughts on savage AIxs

[encorehunter]

I'd personally hit the pawn shops ans used gun racks and look for a savage 10, 110 or equivalent. I have picked several up for under $250 in good shape. I have shot an Axis in .30-06 and it shot well. If I could pick up a regular Savage for less, I personally would go that route.

This.

My second Savage 10 cost me $175 at a Pawn shop after I haggled with them for the barrel being shot-out-ish, the action having some scratches, and the stock being painted.
Threw the stock away.
Sanded and painted the action.
Bought a Shilen Drop in barrel.
Bought a B&C Medalist stock.

I still have it, with a 3rd barrel on it, and it's been a fantastic investment.
