Found a pretty good explanation of the differences at SavageShooters.com.My opinion is to hold out for a 110 as the after market opens up dramatically and the accu trigger is mmm mmm good. I also recall reading something about the recoil lug being a separate, floating part in the axis models while it's solidly fixed to the receiver/barrel in the 110s which may or may not affect real world hunting accuracy
My reasons are purely sporting.I recently bought an axis in 223 as a coyote gun. I bought it with the idea I was going to replace the plastic stock and factory trigger.
first time shooting it I got 3 100 yd groups using Remington factory ammo that were all under 3/4". I pretty much left it alone after that.
It shoots my hunting load just as well.
The plastic mags, and the plastic mag well are not impressive but I can't complain about how it shoots.
If you are only interested in how it shoots Buy one! If you are wanting to buy it as a base for a custom rifle I would skip it.
Savage seems to have found where to concentrate their time to make a rifle that shoots, but spent no time on anything else. DR
