Which is more ideal what are peoples thoughts
Haven't had anything to do with the axis but wouldn't touch a 770, a second hand 700 or tikka or weather warrior would be a better option than the 770
Neither get a nice parker hale or something beofre that. Theres a blued sythetic 308 howa on trade me for 600 buy now with a suppressor
The 770 is properly awful, the axis is better but still not great.
If you are on a budget your money would be far better spent on a good used better quality rifle.
Gibo has a nice ruger for a fantastic price with all the bells and whistled on here, far better than either of the two rifles mentioned.
I'm on a 650-700 budget
I was looking at a used parker hale safari 30 06 safari at hunting and fishing as well
howa.
Bugger the axis and the 770 mate they are utter crap trademe has plenty of good deals on second hand rifles at the moment and they are way better than what you are asking about, you just can't be fussy on caliber thats all

Cheers 6mm
have just got a ruger American I was looking at the Remington, the savage axis also the ruger which I ended up going with I had a marlin x7 which was a great rifle but I hated the internal mag as my fingers suck so I like detach mags so I was looking at the other $700 rifles there are a few options out there these days to be honest both the Remington and savage were bloody horrible I played with them all and the ruger stood out as the most well made.. though I reckon the marlin was nicer than the ruger but only a little
so to some it up.... for the price range id ether go ruger or if you don't mind an internal mag a marlin x7.... you may find a better 2nd hand option but I chose not to go down that route... both my current ruger and my x7 were/are very accurate both 223's if you were wondering
hope this helps Rambo
Nothing wrong with the 270 it gets the job done my 270 is still waiting to get animal blood on the damn thing :DQuote:
