I have a question about Savage rifles. I own one model 12FV in .223 that I shoot for prairie dogs. Sweetest shooting rifle I own and laser straight.
My daughter (16) has expressed an interest in going with me next year to shoot p-dogs. I was elated at the idea of one of my girls wanting to shoot with me.
Now for the question of rifle build. I have been looking at a heavy barrel axis at the local store. It looks ok. Fit and finish are kinda gritty, but I have read reports on all kinds of forums about how accurate the axis is straight out of the box.
Question is: How different are they really from the standard Savage rifles? Are they the same mechanically? As I said fit and finish are lacking, but that can be polished up some.
I think the Axis is a good place to start for a kid rifle, but I want it to last in case she wants to continue shooting.
Thoughts?
