In the past we have brought these rifles in. Sales were a bit slow, so once they had sold out we did not replace our supply. Currently we can get a better price on these & Savage is offering a $60.00 rebate until the end of the month. Would anyone be interested in one of these?

$699.95 - $60 Rebate = $640.00 Savage Axis 2 7.62x39mm Scout

There is also a number of heavy Barrel Savage 308 Rifles for $499.95 - $60 rebate.

I really want to like the 7.62x39 Scout, but without a detachable magazine, I am, unfortunately, out. A 10-round DBM is really needed to finish this package off nicely, now we are just waiting on Savage to do the “right” thing...
 
There was all kinds of things wrong with that first one... That said I think this new one will be much more appealing to Canadians. A lot of new shooters first rifle is the mighty SKS however it's limited accuracy will often leave new shooters longing for more after they've achieved the skills to notice the SKS' limitations.

This new setup is a natural next step for someone with a partial crate or crates of ammo still sitting around and wants to hone their shooting on the cheap. I think Savage is right on the money with this one! My next rifle will be an F-Class setup so this still won't be on my radar however I wish it was around when I bought my Zastava M85. At that time it was the only bolt offering.

Savage still using a 308 bore instead of the 311 most 7.62x39 ammo is?

from what I understand...if its stamped for 7.62x39 on the barrel...it is safe for 7.62x39 rounds. With all the lawsuits in the states...I highly doubt savage would stamp a rifle 7.62x39...that wasn't 100 percent safe for it to fire those rounds

I would definitely consider buying one of those savage stainless scouts, and will keep an eye on your site for them

The ones they use to sell had the 308 bore

Lawsuits in the states?

What was up with this rifle?

Could someone elaborate?

It does have a detachable magazine but it only hold 3 rounds and is a real POS.Hard to load and the last round usually won't feed.
 
I have the x39 scout, it's actually a fun rifle (sooo cheap to shoot). The box mag is a pain so I mostly drop one in the open bolt and push them in. I would probably pick up that .308 scout for $440.00.
 
I have one of these. With a scout scope mounted and a Magpul RLS for a sling, it is my current cruising gun.
The third round is hard to get into the mag, so I usually feed one into the tube, and then seat the mag.
I will probably convert it with another stock or chassis in the future..
 
even at that price,it's so close to a Ruger American ranch rifle which uses Mini-30 mags,and a much shorter package.Savage really needs to drop the price of these if they want any chance of being competitive,right now,they are far from competing with the Ruger,or even the heavy barreled Howa in that caliber.

x2...
 
for 100 bux more, but in 223 or 308 (not x39) you could get the similarly compact & lightweight mossberg mvp patrol that takes AR mags, so 10 rd LAR/XCR-M, PMAG, etc...(the 308 also takes M1A mags)...has BUIS but no forward scout rail. they seem to get some hate "cuz mossy", but for $100 more you can also get the mossberg mvp scout in 308 that has a full rail w/ integrated ghost ring and fibre optic front sight, plus a bit of side rails on the forend. the bolt is a little loose ("sloppy") but once you get the feel for how it likes to be slapped around it runs fine :) i'm liking mine more and more. i only have the mossberg scout in 308, can't comment on their 223 mvp offerings which may've had more reliability issues like mag fit and feed in early production. the savage scout in 308 (at least some if not all models?) takes AICS type short action 5 & 10 rd mags...
