So ... I bought one, I'll take a chance on it. Good deal going on over at durhamoutdoors.ca

Switching out the Axis to left handed is not that tough at all, you need a left handed bolt body and a left hand bolt handle. You end up with a left hand bolt, right hand eject rifle. I converted a Savage (Stevens 200) .233 from right handed to left handed and re-barrelled to 6.5 Grendel. That did take some minor machine work where the bolt handle comes down but nothing that could not be done with a file if required. The Axis is simpler as the handle area is the same on both side of the receiver.

I have also put together a left handed Axis in 7.62 x 39mm using a heavy Savage barrel in .308, re-chambering and turning out the bolt face of a .223 bolt to work with 7.62 x 39mm. It shoots handloads and Hornaday factory SST's into the same hole at 100m and it opens up to about an inch and a half with Chinese surplus ball. I have loaded with .308 and .311 diameter bullets and have found no real difference in accuracy. It is also mounted into a MDT LSS chassis and fitted with a Bushnell 3200 fixed 10 power

Looking at ordering a boyds at-one stock for this, but they're backlogged due to holidays, may wait till later in January.

I picked one up as well, being confident that the rebate will work, as Cabelas list it on all types of Axis rifles: orginal, IIs, etc ...

Looking forward to seeing how this rifle behaves next to my Howa in 7.62x39.

Let us know, I'm really curious about this.

I purchased one of these. Haven't fired it yet, will do that soon. I'm really looking forward to the high capacity 3 round magazine.

The trigger is nice, the action is really long, and the muzzle brake has to come off. The sights are good, and I actually like the stock.

I'm going to throw a scope on to do some load testing, and I figure this rifle should do 1-2 inches easily.

There are some things I really like about this rifle, like the sights and the stock. The 3 round magazine, hideous brake, and long action bolt are hard to stomach. I think the main selling point of this rifle is the 7.62x39 calibre.

Really, it's long action? That is bazaar, glad I didn't order a stock yet.

I have a red dot to mount on mine, it wont' be scoped, hopefully it sits low enough to use irons too. I like flush fitting magazines on bolt guns, but having an option would be nice when at the bench.

Has anyone truly measured the bore dia.? This has been asked by many and speculated upon by most. No accuracy reports (three rounds is not a group). Thread size of muzzle brake? Is front sight pinned. Does anyone really own one or is it for the Sofa Shooters to dream about. Mine is in the mail (Savage Scout axis II 7.62x39), looks like I will have to post some truths.

Have at it, don't insult the rest.
