Savage Axis II Scout Stainless 20" in 7.62x39 *North Sylva Exclusive*

[Rgrabowski]

Lol ok well that's not the point of wanting a stainless firearm. Go buy a CZ then, I'm happy this is available!

Proper maintenance and paint do the same thing as stainless. The CZ has a hammer forged barrel, does the Savage?

[mossler]

All those stainless? That's why this is very appealing.

I was simply adding to the list above it. No, not stainless.

Yes, I am curious about this setup, it appeals, but bore details matter to me. Mild OCD perhaps.

these thing are nice,but at that high of a price for an Axis ?,Howa Mini is a way better unit,dont get me wrong i like Savage riffles,,i own 4 or 5 of them,but a econo line Axis for this high money is a bot of a stretch.considering the Howa and the CZ,not to mention the Mini Mauser,makes it a bit harder sell.at the regular AXIS price range,these would fly off the shelves,

A dressed up axis for 2.5 times the price. Not my thing.

Howa? Who has the mini Howa?

0.308" bore gives poor accuracy?
Why?

0,311" would be stupid! Go ahead and pull some bullets and get out your micrometer. I've pulled Russian, Czech, and Chinese 7.72x39 rounds apart. Most of the bullets mic'd at 0.3095" to 0.3105" A FEW bullets (and I mean less than 20) of all of them that I actually measured made it to 0.311"

Now it's true that I have never measured and Finnish 7.62x39 rounds, nor have I measured any North American commercial ammo.

I might be able to see how the added bullet distortion of a tight bore _might_ mean that you'd never get a reliable 1/2 MOA.. However, lobbing .310 bullets down a .311 bore isn't exactly a recipe for top-notch accuracy either.

Nope...
.308" bore and a 1-10" twist and I will own one before the end of August! (providing they are actually in stock someplace, and this isn't just vapourware)

10 twist? Going to be shooting 200 grain bullets??

looks nice

Howa? Who has the mini Howa?

Prophet River for one. I've had mine in 7.62x39 for 8 months.

I looked and looked for a savage in x39. So I bought a CZ527. Nice gun.

I'm still considering one of these for the availability of magazines, or constructing your own extensions.
