Savage Expands Lines with <broken link removed>



Savage Arms expanded its <broken link removed> lines with the addition of the <broken link removed> . A number of new <broken link removed> are now available in this caliber.
16 Lightweight Hunter

This <broken link removed> uses a synthetic black stock and has a 20″ <broken link removed> . It has a detachable, four round box magazine. Without a scope it weighs in at 5.65 pounds. The MSRP is $752.
Axis

The Axis is the company's basic <broken link removed> . This model has a 22″ barrel, synthetic stock and a four round, detachable magazine. It weighs 6.5 pounds and retails for $368.
Axis, Left Hand

Savage is one of the few companies that caters to the left handed shooter. This model is a <broken link removed> of the standard Axis above. It carries the same retail price.
<broken link removed>

Savage sells a lot of ready to go <broken link removed> . Called the XP, these guns have a 3-9×40 scope that ships mounted and boresighted. The suggested retail is $407.
<broken link removed> Stainless

For the hunter wanting better corrosion resistance, Savage offers the <broken link removed> . The price is an additional $100.
<broken link removed> Camo

This is the same as the XP, but with a synthetic stock finished in a camo pattern. $485.
Axis II XP

The Axis II XP is similar to the <broken link removed> , but with the addition of the company's popular adjustable <broken link removed> . In 6.5 Creedmoor, this gun retails for $485. A stainless version is also available at $580.
Axis II XP Hardwood

This version has a wood stock and comes with a mounted and boresighted 3-9×40 <broken link removed> . It retails for $506.
Cadex Defense released new <broken link removed> in 6.5 Creedmoor earlier this year. Additionally, Seekins Precision announced the company would begin selling the SP10 chambered for the 6.5mm round. I've had a chance to run one of the SP10 guns in .308 Win and found it to be a very capable rifle. I imagine it will be excellent in 6.5 Creedmoor also.

I could slum a salvage.

I imagine that there will be a varmint profile barrel soon, maybe even a LR rifle

Looks like the 6.5 Creedmoor is here to stay.

I have an Axis. I think the stock is crap, too bendy in the grip region. You can pull the gun off target just by squeezing the trigger, due to stock bending.

I hope they shoot better than they feel.
These guns just feel cheap. And look cheap.
Well they are price cheap

That predator Max1 has a fairly heavy profile barrel. A McMillan Game Warden stock and Id be in business.

I look forward to fondling one soon, I love the 6.5 bullet, darn near the perfect med. caliber design

I have Boyd's on speed-dial for just such situations. That SS 6.5 20" + Accutrigger is now at my back door, hungry and meowing to be let inside. Hopefully they sell a ton of them such that ammo gets < $1 ppr.

 

[mjbskwim]

They sell a ton in these parts. 6.5 is very popular around here

Yeah, and I bought an aftermarket trigger to reduce the trigger pull too. It gets to a point where the Axis is no longer a bargain.

But yeah, I might invest another $140... (sigh)
