Thread: savage axis, what a complete POS!

yer i just purchased a savage accustock weather warrior after looking waiting looking pulling my bloody hair out, fuk its hard being a southpaw i already got a tikka so didn.t want to buy an other
new savage out shoots the tikka has a 3 position safety in the centre of the stock just behind the bolt so you can load or unload with mid safety on and bolt is locked on full safetyaccu trigger seems to have improved from the last savage i had if not down the dunny it goes and a timney trigger fitted and it still be $110 cheaper than the tikka in left hand one good thing about tikka is that they come in a full range of calibers

Ya just about need to be a contortionist to get a Savage bolt out, and about zero chance of snagging the tang safety on scrub.

Yip. I got a second hand Savage with the bolt handle on the wrong side for my eldest daughter. No accustock but even I can shoot it left handed just as well as I can shoot my own one right handed. Both shoot sub MOA.

Haha whereas I managed to fall 3m tits up with my Weather Warrior 116 .270 & get nothing but a couple of teeny tiny scratches on the forestock, while 2 fractured vertebrae & 9wks later it's still looking fresher than I ever will

Yep, had same issue finding a lefty as most of you, but damn happy with my weather warrior (although there's still a good range of decent lefty option). Shot sub MOA first time out of the box & will do sub MOA whether I use $70 a box Hornady SSTs or $30 a box Highland or PPUs. No shortage of calibres available in the 16/116 either @57jl. Admittedly a few less in the LH, although they cover most of the more common calibres.
