apprenticeJust need to add a catonette lug for close engagements and you'll be all set.

old rugged crossI like the mount. I believe DNZ discounted that mount. But I like the one I have on a .300wsm. It has been rock solid.
I am not a Savage fan myself. But many say they shoot great. Especially for the price point.
The Banner is a cheap chinese scope I believe. If it does the job, great. If not maybe look at a Nikon prostaff if in fact nikon is quitting the scope business I bet you could pick one up cheap and they are a decent scope.
Congrats on your new deer gun.
Cute kitty! That face is priceless

KMitch200A southpaw bolt! You must be a brother from another Mother!
Get that baby sighted in and show us some groups.
I myself use mostly God’s chosen 30 calibers but 270 will work.
Have fun.

BassamaticI have a Savage 110 and it has worked its away ahead of many other, more expensive deer rifles I have. Light and easy to carry great trigger and a tack driver. If it accidentally gets dropped in the mud...it washes right up.

P250UA5Nice rifle.
Axis or Axis II?
My dad got my stepmom/sister an Axis (non Accu-trigger) in 243 and was appalled with the trigger (very heavy).
Timney drop-in made a significant improvement.

sourdough44Hey, just a heads up. The Savage Axis is marked down at Walmart, $198, if in stock.
I was wanting a 22-250 to go with my mid weight custom gun. I’ve not been a big Savage fan, though I do have an older 110.
Instead of the $500-$800 rifle I thought I’d give this Axis a try. They had a 243 at the same price.
Just setting up right now, simple trigger kit on the way.
I used one of those online, inventory searches for inventory, brickseek I think.

Texas Bob C.I have a Savage AXIS in 223. It's a good shooter. Has a Nikko 3-9X40 scope.
