What's eveyones favorite? Looking at either a Howa mini , savage axis or Mossberg Patriot. Not gonna stay stock for long though. Probably gonna be in a chassis. Thanks

Savage or Mossberg if you're ever going to rebarrel it.
There comes a point liberalism has gone too far, we're past that point.

I have an Axis I won and a .Mossberg Patriot I bought shortly after they came out. Both have good points but the walnut stock on the Mossberg wins the day for me.

Ruger American Ranch. It’s cheap, I tossed a Bushnell AR scope on. Mine shoots good, really well with green tips and reloads.

America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

Wolfie.. a member here has a .223 Ruger American I tried out last year. Amazing. I bought one in the predator model with a threaded muzzle for a can which I’m waiting for. I had a number of of rifles before the boating mishap and some were custom and others top of the line manufactured and none can come close to the accuracy of this Ruger. I can sit on the bench which I did last week working in a new scope and it literally tears the same hole without end. It loves 53gr Hornady ballistic tips. Probably others I haven’t tried as well. Had I known or been able to get this kind of of rifle accuracy at this price I would have bought nothing else.

Thanks Other than changing the stock why touch one of the best shooting rifles like the savage? I’ve owned three and put a vortex on all of them 243 : put 3 rounds basically in a hole size of a 30 caliber bullet at 100 The 2 270 caliber I’ve got will shoot sub 1/2 in group at 100 with factory 130 grain federal ammo

I bought a Savage Axis when Walmart had them on clearance and Savage had a rebate. Added a MCarbo trigger. I use it for a truck gun on the farm, but it shoots really well. I did the same, hard to pass up a 299 savage with a rebate even when I already had a Savage 110 tactical rifle in 223 both will shoot one hole groups all day long, that tactical rifle is one of the pre accu triggers and I have Always thought of upgrading the trigger but just like the one I have in 308 why mess with what’s already doing the job dang good If you can find one the 110 is a great gun and used their not all that expensive but if your looking for a budget gun the axis you s a good choice

My son has a savage and it shoots well. Nice bolt gun. Don’t use steel coated .223 through it, brass only. If you shoot a lot at a range with steel that coating you will get a stuck casing. We had to get ours out by a gunsmith and he said he worked hard to get it out. Brass, no problem. Jim
Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

Yes stock isn’t flashy! You can’t say “ I got a 3000 dollar rifle “ But if the end result is accuracy why mess with it ?
