Savage Axis II Precision review
In this video we take a look at the Savage Axis 2 Precision, chambered in 6.5 creedmore.
A great option for those who are loking to get into long range shooting, but arent looking into remortgaging there home to do so.
the Savage Axis 2 is likely considered to be the best budget rifle on the market, this is what you get when you put the best budget barrelled action into an MDT chassis= performance. it has been long know that the weakest link of the Savage Axis ii or 2 is the usual plastic stock that they come with flexing under preload , are just really not ideal for precision shooting. this is Savage’s take on solving that problem, and this is our review on it.

From Savage :
The Savage AXIS II has built a reputation as a budget friendly rifle that doesnāt sacrifice accuracy or performance. Now the AXIS II family has been given a Precision Series upgrade. Savage has partnered with Modular Driven Technologies (MDT) to take the AXIS II to new distances. The AXIS II Precision will open up new possibilities for the shooter that wants one hole groups from a rifle that wonāt shoot holes in his wallet.

I am glad you have such rifles in a budget price ! over here in Italy, it runs about 1,350ā¬ = 1,500 U$ :-((
Man i need to study more!!! I didnt know savage had those out!!!
Another great video! I think I’m sold on one of these to do some prs shoots here in Australia…yes despite poplular belief we can own firearms hereš The price of this rifle here makes it a really attractive option for a rifle to compete in production class.
Are you using hand load rounds? Or box ammo?
I love the 6.5 creed but don’t know if could afford the ammo
Great video! Actually subscribing because of this. As for breaking in the muzzle, do you have a guess as to how many rounds it took to "break it in" all the way?
Nice
I just picked one of these up in 6.5 Creedmoor. I asked Savage about their break in procedure via email and their exact response was, āWe have not found a break in to make much difference on any of our gunsā. However they also said if one wants to do a break in to follow the link below. Curious where you stand on break in and if your for it whatās your process.

Tell me how good is this rifle to use in high-precision shooting? Help with choosing a rifle. I choose between Remington 700 Adl, savage 110 tactical and savage axis precision. Tell me which is the best of these rifles to choose?
If you were slinging larger bullets, you may be able to hear it.š¤ Most of the rifles you review come in multiple calibers…not just one.šØš¦ššŗšø
Great video and info but it’s not a damn shassis, it’s a chassis
you can buy an Oryx chassis for most rifles
Iām not the biggest 13 yr so how much Kick does the 6.5 creedmoor have?
Recently got the Axis Precision in 6.5 creedmoor. Mounted a $69.00 Barska scope on it and took it to the range for the first time. 5 shot group at 50 yards was one hole. 5 shot groups at 100 yards opened up, but were still under 1 MOA. Shooting new Lapua brass, 123 Lapua scenars and 37gr of H4350. Need to get a real scope, appropriate shooting bags/rest, and work up a load.
Kewl
What scope you using
Any rusting going on? Some say the axis models get rust very easy i want to purchase one but im still on the fence about it.
Savage us southpaw shooters with this gun,they did not make this gun in left hand.they do make left handed hunting rifles in the axis series in left handed,but not in this model as of yet or the last time I checked on this model!!!!!
The distances to the target are different but the targets background is exactly the same hey?
Please explain why it’s $800 when the regular savage axis is $350 and under? Also please explain to me how $800 is budget price.
Will it except a AR10 Magazine for the 308 model?
I’m thinking of buying. Which caliber is better than 308 or 6.5?
Wish it was chambered in 6.5 PRC or 6.5-284.
That does it I’m getting one
Good luck finding one.
Those are over $900 in the US at the current time.
I just purchased mine, all is great but the bolt is extremely heavy when lifting. Is anyone else having this issue?
What cal were you using?
Is just the Savage axis ii XP in a new frame. I like the frame not hand gard no good. Is a &350 rifle on a $450 stock or chassis. Just order a chassis like me and switch the stock out.
I have a question. Will this work with the PMAG AICS short action mags as well as the Ruger AICS short action mags?
why do you individually load the rounds? doesnt it hold like 10????
SWFA SS 10×42…also rifle is available in .308 Winchester
What scope is on that rifle
Do you have the link for the megazine a have the same rifle my is a 308
Show some more range work with this rifle. Still accurate,bolt action any smoother?
850 usd I just got one for 950 but it came with a scope
Please use yards NOT meters were not in EUROPE !
Hello you have savage axis precision?
So the scope was more than the gun lol?! Why are scopes so expensive?
Excellent and thorough video Iām close to buying one now thank you
Great shooting. The Axis MDT is a nice combo. The metric ranging is a tip off that you must be in Canuckistan.
You sold me on it. Great video.
This looks like so much fun that I bought it.
You can get the ejector "fixer" kit that takes about 35 min to install and costs about $20.00. It’s the ONE major ptifall of the Savage bolts. That weak ejection is awful. Adding the kit is good, though. The axis action is not fast or smooth. The barrel and chassis are the lowest common denominators. However, it’s a 1500 yard gun for less than 1k.
Superb video Iām sold I was in the market for a 6.5 and 45-70 marlin anyway šš½šš½šš½ I will grab one of these thanks
Love the video, First thing Monday I’m to see if I can buy one at my gun shop, What wind gauge are you using?
But it’s not a sub MOA rifle. And savage manufacturing quality is iffy at best.
Excellent information. Didn’t hear or read what Brand/Grain/Round size? Thanks
I bought 1 because of your review. Glad I did. .47 inch groups
I opted for the 30-06 platform of this particular gun. This is really hard to find at the present time. Had search long and hard but found one gun store online selling it. It’s backorder only, though!
