At the Savage rifle booth, I asked what was new in the rifle dept. I was told about some news from the Axis line; a model with stainless barrel and receiver, and its sibling with hardwood and blued combination, both making use of Savage's Accutrigger.
One model which attracted my attention though, even if not new this year (but new to me), is the Scout Rifle.
This is described by Savage as being a very versatile rifle. Even if only offered in 308, it does have attractive features. Scope rail and iron sights; adjustable cheek piece and butt stock, accutrigger, flat dark earth synthetic stock; detachable magazine. Seems it could indeed be a handy firearm.

still though, I'd buy it.
