None of them have Nikons (atleast I think that's what you meant). They both have weaver brand scopes one is KASPA that's the axis 2 I forget what the 11/111 has but it's about $50 retail by itself more than the KASPA. Besides that difference the stocks are different in terms of the 11/111 being stippled and the Axis 2 having a foreend that grooves and kind folds in. They both have free float barrels and both have accutrigger yes, but if you notice their safeties are different the Axis 2 has the original Axis safety which is either on or off. The 11/111 I believe has a 3 stage safety I can't remember, so its safety on you cant load the gun or fire it, middle safety; you can load the gun but can't fire it, then full off which is ready to shoot. Also for the 11/111 the safety is built into the receiver, vs the Axis 2 which is in the stock. Now I havent seen either rifle in 3-4 months so my memory isn't all there. Also the magazines are interchangeable between them, as for which should you buy? The bolt on the 11/111 is polished and smoother than the Axis 2. That alone is worth it for me.

Does anyone know where the best price on the 11/111 is?This is a great thread, because I've been looking at either rfile as my next piece, and had pretty much all these questions. Thanks folks!
The most you'll save I believe is $60, but that's going one big box store vs another.
Yes I have been shopping a bit so far wholesale sports has the best price due to a sale and then you get $75 rebate but I am not sure if I trust wss to get it to me in time to send the rebate in! Might be able to print off the one I get emailed! $489 minus $75 plus tax and $17.50 shipping! One thing, I aske the agent online if they did what most places in ALB.and B.C. only charge gst but she said they charge full hst for the province you are in! That sucks!
Yes, Nikon scopes are on the ones in the U.S. Here we get Weaver scopes, I don't know much about them!
They also have them in .338 wim mag in the U.S.

I currently own 2 non-Axis Savages because there are more more options for upgrading. Having said that if I were to buy another I would strongly consider an Axis when Modular Driven Technologies (a CGN sponsor) makes their LSS chassis for the Axis.
Almost complete!
