rem 770 or savage axis?

[CHIDE]

My dad has a 700 that I'm restoring just wanted to see how bad the 770 was because wade at turners in rancho cucamonga told me the 770 was better then my dads 700 adl in every way haha I knew he was full of shizt he told me the axis was better also

Mang, a employee at turners told me a delton ar15 was as good as any other ar15. After that, I refuse to do business w/ turners. Also 770 and axis are both trash.

It's out

Only thing is that I do not think its out yet. Could be wrong.

Yes, the Axis II is out, Turner's has them.

rem 770 or savage axis? in 308........ I'm not buying either I just want to hear/read your comments about both

This question is the gun analogy equivalent to, "Who do you like more, Feinstein or Pelosi?"

[JMP]

Well fortunately you knew to not believe the idiot behind the counter at the gun store. Crisis averted.

Nah, not a crisis, you could probably recoup half the cost if you are patient and wait for a good community buyback program.

My Savage Edge ( Axis is new name ) will shoot 1" @100yds with Surplus DAG Ammo...

Skip the 770. I learned the hard way after buying one. Sloppy, sticky bolt and magazine in addition to the cheap scope and stock. Luckily, I was able to sell mine after months of trying.

If you are going the Axis route, pay a few more dollars and get the Axis II. It comes with the Accutrigger and a Nikon Prostaff scope.

The Axis II only seems to be offered in 22-250 REM or .243 WIN, although I'm sure that'll change soon...

I was going to suggest a Steven's 200, but it look's like they stopped making them?

yup, went to big5 and tried one, the kid behind the counter hunts and was honest enough to tell me it was junk. I tried working the action in store and it really is junk.

Axis

It is way more gun for the money than it ought to be.
Savage is doing something right. Remington, has been headed the other direction for quite some time now.

[MagicalWisps]

Go Savage. Its one heck of an economical/quality choice.

[toby]

.... junk!
