You’re the working man’s hero. The gun marketing industry is crazy! They would have us believe there’s no way possible someone could take a cheap savage Axis with cheap scope combo and succeed. We would need a $$1500 rifle with a$900 scope . You’re out there killing nice deer and bears with the combo. You prove it’s more about hunting and shooting than how much we spend on gear!!

Anything over a Savage rifle almost but a Ruger over Savage, they are making too cheap the stock, the barrels even the bolts. I've been doing the rifle thing for 30+ years reloading the whole work. Three Savage rifles all with problems bought many years apart: 1994, 2016, 2022.

Good for the price. I have a Savage Axis XP 308 Woodstock. The extra weight controls like a top dollar. I've upgraded the scope from the weaver and running the bolt with a good quality lube makes a big difference. I've had mine for years and haven't had any issues whatsoever. Can't beat it for 300 yard kill.

Good job on the video! I just bought one two days ago in 308 and it has the accutrigger and a Bushnell 3x9x40 BDC scope. Bought it to replace my K31 Schmitt-Rueben 7.5X55 . Wanted something lighter to carry as I'm not getting any younger. Looks to be a really nice gun for the price point but the real test is if it can compete with the 7.5 or my trusty old H&R 30-30 single shot in the accuracy department as both of those rifles were 100 yard tack drivers.

Thank you for sharing this review man. I just bought one a couple of weeks ago and I shot it a couple of days ago at my local range. I’m not a big fan of heavy recoil so I put a recoil eraser on the back of this .308 model and I really enjoy shooting it. The recoil eraser absorbs up too 70% of the felt recoil when a shot is fired. It doesn’t kick at all now. Not for a deer and elk rifle. Went through a box of 20 rounds. No bruise no soreness. Nothing.

How do you find the .308win vs 6.5CM for hunting? I know you’re rifles are different platform, barrel length, etc. but that aside… I got 6.5CM with the intent of being an “all ‘rounder” which should suffice for most game animals here, but almost wish I got a .308win lol

6.5 is a great hunting round. Not an advocate of using it on elk or anything larger. Yes, shot placement is key, but shot placement is NOT ALWAYS in your control. Things happen; equipment failure, weather, animals move at the last second etc... I don't hate on people that use it, but I won't advise people to use it on big game if there are better options available at the time. I own 2-6.5cm, a 30-06, 300wm, 6.8spc, 243, 6.5 grendel, 2-223, 350 legend, 30-30, 308, 270, 12 gauge, and others. Given all those, I'm taking the 300wm to better my odds in case of less than ideal conditions.

My buddy had the same issue, he shaved the one side down because it was touching the barrel a bit and messing with the harmonics. As long as your barrel is free floating should be ok if it’s touching shave it down a bit. Try to take it out of the stock as well and reinstalling it and retorquing the action screws to 40lbs, see if that might fix the issue first. I’ve also seen other ppl reinforce the stock inside to make it harder which helps keep the barrel free floated.

I'd prefer a rugger if that's all the money I had.

Ruger American? I think that’s another solid choice for sure. 👍

Much more to shooting than just the caliber. Also this here is a 308

I bought this in .223 with the scope in true timber strata. I'm teaching myself the fundamentals of firing a rifle and when I'm more comfortable I will sell it and buy the 6.5 Creedmoor variant for taking game.

Or keep it and save up to get the 6.5 creedmore. There's always room for the 223 bolt gun in a hunting cabinet
