Savage Edge (Axis)

$282 out the door is an awesome price. I'm going to research this rifle now.

If you are preloading the bipod to reduce the bipod hop as is needed to properly call your shots its happening . Every OEM injection molded stock regardless of manufacturer I've seen does it . Get into position and have someone check the barrel channel for contact .

The injection molded stocks across the board are junk and should be replaced if the goal is to get the most accuracy out of the rifle . There are many alternatives out there like Choate , Bell & Carlson , and HS Precision for drop in stocks . Don't bother with Houge as they are the manufacturer of most of the OE stocks .

If possible, I would look into the accustock. They are very rigid as there is an aluminum channel that runs all the way out to the front sling swivel.

Here are some photos from a hand load I was testing. This is a five shot group at 100 yards with the factory Savage stock, a Nikon Buckmaster BDC scope and a cheapo walmart bipod.

Pretty impressive so far. Savage makes an accurate rifle.

I'll get a photo of my target. I'm impressed so far with the accuracy. I still need to work on adjusting my scope, but ran out of ammo.

I got a pretty good Savage out of the box.

Can't say enough good things about the Accu Trigger,very smooth!
