I recently acquired a Savage Axis in .223. When I say "acquired" I mean I bought it. Just hoping that the Wife is tricked by the use of "acquired" cuz it sounds like someone coulda just, you know, gave it to me.

 

Anyway, I have one. I am going to re-barrel in 300Blk. I also bought a Boyd's laminate stock for it to replace the crummy plastic one that came with it. Barrel will be a 20", 1-8 twist. It is topped with a Nikon Prostaff 2-7x33. Gun will be used to hunt and plink.

 

Anyone else on here done this? Any issues? I've heard of issues with ejecting the shorter case on the Savage's. I contacted Sharp Shooter Supply about an upgrade but am open to home remedies.

 

Thanks all!

Not to be a dbag or point you away, but I think there is a forum called savageshooters or something like that where they do all these kinds of mods
