The 20 inch barrel and the mag have kept me away from it.

The 20" barrel is a selling point for me but man, that mag...
Its a lot of money for a rifle with a cheaply made 3 shot mag that may or may not work with all 3 in it. Besides that, I like the idea.
Wish the Ruger American had irons and the longer barrel. Or at least irons. Would be all over that.
Yeah but all told, and including gunsmithing? When a stainless rifle comes with irons and is still cheaper, I am a little unenthused about the prospect.
What’s the deal with the magazines? Are they different from the regular axis mags?
Correct me if I’m mistaken. But right now at Cabelas a bare bones axis is $499. The scout is selling at a couple different locations for $669. That’s like a $170 difference for a stainless model with muzzle break and open sights. That seems decent.
For $700 plus tax and shipping, the 3 shot magazine that may or may not work with 3 shots in it is kind of a killjoy. Otherwise haven't seen a problem with an Axis mag yet. Like you said, stainless, with the irons, with gun prices these days I don't mind so much otherwise.
You’re right. It doesn’t matter what the price is. If a product doesn’t work the way it’s supposed to, then what good is it.
