1,000 Yards CHEAP! Savage Axis II XP 6.5 Creedmoor
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 сер 2024
- Leave a tip! bit.ly/3HTzq5r | I'm shocked at what this budget rifle package can do. This Savage Axis II XP, topped with an El Cheapo Nikon scope, beat two other rifles costing over 4x as much. It connected with a man sized silhouette target not once, not twice, but three times at 1,000 yards! Outstanding quality confirmed!

Me: I don’t need another bolt action.
Also Me: Well, I mean for under $400, I would be crazy to not buy this.
Don't tell yourself what you don't "need !"....
;-)
I got ones used this morning for $175 at a pawn shop and it looks like its never even been shot.
Heard in quite a few places they are the best bang for your buck and best way to go without paying to have a rifle built. Might have to.
Lol same!
You my man probably just sold Savage 1000 guns lol.
Share the video, and I might! :)
Honestly , haha I was holding off but I NEED this
I have one on.order from academy 😂😂 $275
Just picked one up myself for 300 smackers at my local gun shop lol. That was tax, and transfer out the door baby.
Eugene Elliott Can you tell me how?
that "it's fairly easy to come by, fairly inexpensive" hits so different today lol
Just impulse bought one new for $315 from LGS. Now I'm on youtube making sure I didn't make a mistake. Happy now!!!!
Interesting. I hit a 20" plate at 1500 yards with my savage axis ii percision in 6.5. It took me about 25 rounds to dial in at that range, i was using hornday eld-x 143gr
Gonna grab me some of those round see how they do. Currently 140g American eagle. Just like in the video. See if I can’t make a greater distance then 1000yds
Your face the first time you hit one thousand yards: priceless. Sick paint job btw. I'm convinced to find one of these Savage lead slinger thingys.
Nope, doesn't surprise me at all. I've seen Savage bolts as the basis for 1000-yard budget guns a lot. Savage seems to have found a sweet spot. Make the things that matter most just good enough ( adjustable trigger, barrel, and bedding ) and don't waste money on other things. And as you said, barrel-to-ammo match is king. It's always nice to get a barrel that likes cheap ammo.
I had no idea they'd dropped in price so much. That very model is listed at $320 as of today.
now it is 450$
Ordered one moments ago (store pickup) for 359.69 with the bushnell 4-12x. Too many people say too many good things; I had to cross a couple folks of the Christmas shopping list to snag one of these.
Is black friday of 2021 I got mine from bass pro for $249.99 at bass pro.
It is a great feeling to connect on a distant target. Leave the rifle as is, if it ain't broke.........
That’s the gun that the old guys with $3,000 rifles hate you for bringing to the range
I've been studying a bunch of bolt action rifles and you inspired me to buy this savage axis creedmoor 6.5. Thank you. Totally following you man.
When Savage first introduced the axis line originally called the edge, I got one in 308. It was a sub moa gun. I just bought my son the newest model basic axis in 243, I have found myself hunting with it more than my others. I'm wanting to try the 6.5 out myself, I'm wanting the 110 tactical but I know the axis line will do all I need.
Being a LR shooter that's spent a lot of money on 1,000 yd guns, I'm impressed too. Nice review on the Savage Axis II XP.
Ruger American 6.5cm cheap 1 mile gun
those rifles are shooters for sure
It's truly amazing what even low cost factory bolt action rifles can do. They out shoot a hand tuned custom rifle with blueprinted actions from a decade ago that cost ten times as much.
I’m about to get 1 soon, can’t wait!
I just bought one. Hopefully they continue to live up to their expectations

I love going back to this video again! I left my exact same axis rifle stock for about a year and loved shooting with my 150gr hand loads. I decided to throw in a match bull barrel and did some trigger work. I also got a Boyd varmint stock on it and this turkey is my most accurate rifle. Actually the most accurate rifle I've ever shot! That action is sloppy feeling as it gets and I am just astonished! It has been a really fun experiment. Thanks for the cool video!
Picked up the 30.06 version of this same rifle last year on clearance at Walmart for $199.99 and savage was running a $60 rebate so $139.99 + tax total !!! Savage I think is currently running another rebate for this rifle series !!
They are! $30 rebate until the end of this month.
Wow, was that an Axis 1 or 2? Does it have the AccuTrigger?
Jaron It was a 2 with Accu-Trigger !! Those are gone but if you can find one they have the 6.5 creed and .223 for $199.99 but they flew off the shelves when they started clearance a few months back.
How does Walmart issue its rebate, I've purchased a savages at my local w m and they say they don't do them
Remember, when you get told that you dont need another gun, remind them they are right. You need 2.
I bought the savage axis ll xp,with the bull barrel at walmart for under $400.
It's a superbly accurate rifle with anything I feed it. Every deer I shot has dropped right there.
Was at Turner's Gun store yesterday (21st May 2020) just looking around and I saw this rifle and my gut feeling said 'get it!' So glad I did! This Army Veteran is happy. Thank you!
Wow. Good shooting. Still takes a steady hand. Well done.
I'm in love with the Axis II XP. Picked one up in .223 for giggles two years ago. And it's exceeded my expectations by orders of magnitude. Was thinking of picking up another in .308 before the rebate expires, but now you've got me thinking 6.5 Creedmore instead.
Floyd Teter 6.5 Creedmoor is my jam.
My dad just bought me my first hunting rifle after I got my first two deer, he got me this gun and it’s a good to know that I have a reliable rifle.
In 2016, I got an Axis II in .243 for my oldest kid. It's the most accurate rifle I own. Like, stupid accurate.
This year, I'm getting a 6.5 creed for the youngest.
I'm just about 45 years old and the phenomenon of people spending lots of time/effort and/or money on modifications and accessories just to get Remingtons, Rugers, Winchesters, etc., to shoot as accurately as a cheap Savage usually does straight out of the box, has been going on since before I was born. Savage's centerfire bolt-action rifles have been inexpensive tack-drivers for ages. The theory is that it has something to do with their barrel nut method of attaching the barrel to the receiver, which eliminates the uneven stresses / pressure points you can get when threading a barrel directly into the receiver. There's a similar theory for the Dan Wesson revolvers with interchangeable barrels, which were (are?) very popular among long-range silhouette target shooting competitors.
I've always wondered why people choose to buy other brands of centerfire bolt-action rifles when they are more expensive and probably not as accurate as a Savage. I guess they consider looks to be more important than accuracy (a lot of people think Savages, their barrel nuts in particular, are ugly), or they are somehow unaware of how accurate Savages typically are.
I have the even cheaper standard Savage Axis in .308 and I still think the trigger is excellent (very light, very little take-up, and a very crisp release). I've only shot mine to 100 yards as its new, but so far I'm incredibly impressed with it. Mine is very finicky with ammo however. For example old surplus German 7.62x51 NATO ammo got stuck in the chamber after firing and I had one Winchester Super-X round fail to go into battery as it must have been just slightly out of spec. All of the rest of the ammo in that box worked fine. But I guess that is a good thing as it means that the tolerances on the Savage Axis are extremely tight (although oddly enough it feeds Tula steel case ammo just fine with only slightly sticky extractions). I haven't tried heavier grain match grade ammo, but PMC Bronze .308 ammo got me around 1.2 MOA which I was thrilled about. I have it paired with a cheap Vortex Vanquish BDC optic (amazing budget scope) and I am just very very happy with what is my first bolt gun. It blows my mind how accurate of a rifle you can buy these days under $500. It's my most boring looking firearm but has quickly become one of my favorites to shoot. With cheap steel cased ammo, it's also incredibly fun for doing rapid off-hand shooting on close range targets to practice for hunting hogs. I was genuinely surprised how fast I could aquire the target and nail it. What really blew my mind however asides from its accuracy, was how little felt recoil it had. It actually has less felt-recoil than my 7.62x39mm SKS rifle. I wasn't expecting that.
The only downside is that even steel cased ammo in .308 isn't cheap, so I may buy a .223 version of this rifle just for fun shooting using a less expensive caliber that can still reach out to 500 yards easily. On the other hand, I've been eyeing at Academy Sports & Outdoors the Savage Axis 2 SR in 6.5 creedmoore. This is a 18.5" bull barrel version and it's only $399. I'm not sure however how much of a velocity hit I would get with the shorter 18" barrel, but at that price, it's awfully tempting. I'm surprised that there are no reviews of the SR short bull-barreled variants of the Axis2 on youtube. :(
In the late 1990s 4 of us decided we would travel from eastern Kentucky to the Dakotas to hunt prairie dogs. I bought a Remington 700V in .223. Two others bought Ruger varmint rifles in .223. The last person bought a Savage in .223. We all spent months working up the best handloads for our rifles. We all found the sweet spot. The odd thing was the Savage was the only rifle that could shoot ANY of the rounds with good accuracy! My Remington hated the other rounds. The Rugers hated the other rounds. The Savage could still hold .75 MOA with rounds not optimized for it. Now, one of the Rugers ended up with the absolute best accuracy out of the bunch but the Savage was best when considering all of the different loadings. Ugly but great rifles.
I have this rifle as well. And for under $500 this set up is amazing, even with the stock scope. I haven't tried it out to 1000 yards yet but I have no issues keeping a tight grouping of an inch or two at 700 yards. Def worth the $.
Just purchased the Savage Predator 110 in 6.5CM. Savage has come a long ways in the last few years! Topping the Beast off with a Vortex Strike Eagle 5-25x56mm scope. Looking for good things from Savage!
I bought a savage axis 6.5 creedmoor from cabelas. I love it. Iam saving my money and buying a Vortex 3x9x50mm bdc scope. Thanks for the videos.
I've had my eye on the axis xp in .308 my neighbor just convinced me to go with the 6.5. This just cemented the decision. Wal-Mart keeps these stocked for less than I find them anywhere else btw
Just bought one today with a diamond back scope for 500, and now I see this video and I have absolutely no regrets!
Nice shooting man! I think that awesome paint job was probably a pretty significant factor as well.
Savage makes some really accurate bolt guns. Thier actions and barrels are really good. The downside is thier resale value.
I can say this video convinced me to pull the trigger on this so thank you
Just wanted you to know that your video made me buy this gun today 😂🤟🏻
This is my deer rifle, sighting in for winter. Two shots one ragged hole, 150 yds with Federal 140 gr trophy hunter factory ammo.. original, out of box Academy. Best shooting gun I have ever touched. BTW, folding table, camp chair, sitting in a rough field. All I could ask for.
The Savage have solid shooting barrels. I have a couple of them and they are always spot on accurate.
Good to see you! I have been "randomly" unsubscribed from a number of channels that feature the"f" word (firearms).
Watched your video and decided to buy the rifle, it was a great price and can’t wait to go to the range. Thanks for the great review.
I bought this Bc of your rifle and it is sick. Brought it to my 600 yard range (I did change the optic) but everything else stock so far. And it’s SICK! Crazy accurate plus $310 with $75 rebate so I will be into it for $235.00 bucks ! (And I owned the scope Already that I changed
Glad I bought it!
Rock and roll, brotha!
That is the perfect land miles and miles and mountains in the back round
It arrived, for my son, pick it up tomorrow. Came with a Vortex I understand. Your video sold it finally after much research. Savage needs you on the payroll. All the best and happy holidays
I bought this exact rifle 6 months ago solely because of this video. The Bushnell scope that came on it sucks. The reticle lines are too fat for precision distance work. Try to get one that doesn't have a scope for anyone interested in this rifle. I'm in the process of installing a new scope. Bought an Athlon Optics, Argos BTR, Riflescope, 6-24 x 50 First Focal Plane (FFP) 30 mm Tube, Illuminated APMR MIL Reticle. It cost slightly more than the gun after buying new scope rings and a 20 MOA picatinny rail. I'm going to try that out in a week or two at 1000 yards and see what I can accomplish.
How did it do?
You sir, are a life saver!...just recently purchased a BCM Recce, and was in search of a cheap, but honest hunting rifle...I already settled on savage but didn’t know which one to get..did a little more research and came across your channel....by now...savage is probably crossing their fingers that I go for their more high end rifle...but your vid proved otherwise...lol...thank you for an awesome review and God Bless....”subscribed”
Try Barnes ttsx in your 308 and see how that does for you. 7mm08 I hear is good for long range and for hunting, maybe savage can send you one of theirs to try it out sense you just sold them a heap of rifles. 😁
I'd recommend one rifle, reload to get optimized ammo, and shoot a lot. I need to take my own advice. Too many long range guns and not enough trigger time. That being said, I'd like to get a Savage Axis II in 6.5 Creedmoor, even though I have three 6.5 Creedmoor rifles I've never shot. No long ranges around here. 😣
Love Savage!!! Great guns! Just got a new axis 2 in 270.
Bought the same rifle today and showed it to my dad and asked why does it feel that it was made in China. When he shot the rifle he was shocked on how well it hits targets!
I literally just purchased one of these yesterday because it was $310 and I wanted to see if I would like long guns but didnt want to spend alot (I know those statements dont go together) but it seems like I accidentally made a phenomenal choice. Lol.
2 years later this gun is $450 with pandemic pricing and still a great shooter!
Wish we had wide open space like that in NC! Awesome video!
I'm in NC too! Charlotte. Where you at? :-)

I hope he has some way to close the road from the other direction.
@@michaelmcclure8673 His wife's car...LOL
I bought the Axis 2 stainless steel 6.5 Creedmoor (no scope or scope mount) at Walmart for $296 with $50 Savage rebate. I also bought the only ammo Wally had in stock, Winchester Deer Season XP $20 with $5 rebate. I bought on Amazon a Weaver Savage Axis 48347 one piece scope mount $15. I put on it a scope iv'e had for 10 or 15 years, Ohuhu 6x24x50 $50. I bore sighted it at home (at about 30 feet). At the range I set it up for (on a bench rest) 50 yards to fine sight it in. It was a very windy day, crosswinds 15+ mph. I left the trigger as set by the factory, about 3lbs. After 8 shots it was good, group at about 1" (2 moa) an inch right of dead center (wind was blowing that way). I set the target out to 100 yards thinking it might shoot a little lower and more to the right because of the wind. 4 shots grouped exactly in the same spot as the 50 yard range. 3 shots were 3/4 moa and one shot was 1.25 moa. I am over 70 and can't shoot anywhere as well as I did 25 years ago. But from this performance I have no doubt a good marksman with hand loads can shoot .5-.75 moa groups all day long with this rifle. The barrel noticeably heated up after 4 or 5 shots.
Some pundits say the stock is lousy. Go ahead and spend $100-200 on a Boyds stock and pillar bed it. You may gain 1/10th moa more accuracy. I think the stock is just fine. However, if Savage ever offered their new accustock for a reasonable price, I may consider it. Unless you are competing at Camp Perry 1000 yard, why spend $2000+ for a bolt rifle, when for $250 you can buy one 99% as accurate? For hunting, it is exactly the same. Even for tactical police work out to 200 yards it will get the job done exactly the same.
I had looked at four walmarts and it wasn't in stock (they had the 3006 with package scope). I had found the right Walmart that had it in stock with Brickseek. More recently I found it at other walmarts and now the rebate was $75.
So the purchase has been made. Walmart had it 55%off today so I got it for $158 out the door. Excited to see what it can do. This video got me super excited. I am an Avid long ranger shooter soo we shall see what happens. Thank you thank you for the info.
Lmao. The axis is my go to woods gun. I have sakos and tikkas. I have owned all the major brands. I did a trigger job on the savage. Foam filled the stock. Relieved the barrel some more. I have a nikon p 308 scope on it. The action sucks compared to my other rifles but the damn thing is just about 1/2 moa right now. I am not going to cry if it gets all scratched up. Gets dinged up in the truck. It just shoots way better than a $350 gun should shoot.
Just picked one up in .308. Hasn't arrived yet but now I really can't wait!
snipers been saying 6.5 creed is cheat codes for lrs
I have a 4x12x40 nikon bdc on a rem700 6.5 Creedmoor with a bull barrel and magpul stock and with that scope using the spot on app im getting 1st round hits at 800 almost to easily. I am a firm believer in the nikon bdc scopes. They may not be expensive but to me that makes em even better. I gave like 175 for the model 4x12 I got and love it. Bought a second for my dpms lr308 and have shot it out to 600 with 2nd round hits. Those bdc scopes with the spot on app is super accurate.
I just bought this rifle, glad I watched this video. I have a couple Savage rifles and they don't have the smoothest action, but they are accurate. Can't wait to shoot mine
I took mine from Walmart to 1000 yards as well man... I was the same way my chepo out shot all my other Creedmoors?????😮... 😮
Savage is known for accurate bolt action.
We use a savage axis .243 125 grain, and a savage .270 150 grain both have the 9×40 scope
searching for the video where you tutorial on how to do this paint job!! was reading an article you were mentioned to have such a video for your masterpiece would help if you had a link sir thank you. awesome shots
Can you send me a link to that article? I didn't know anything about it.
I once was invited into a million dollars home and the door knobs was 1000 dollars each and even tho they was only about a year old many of them had begun to break
Expensive isn't always better I have a 40 dollar Amazon scope with horrible eye relief but shoots tighter groups then my 300 dollar vortex
Just impulse bought myself one of these for Christmas. I'm a fool. And I'm excited.
Impressive. I’ve seen other reviews on this rifle. I think I’ll buy one. 👍🏻👍🏻
We envy your range! Did a review of The Savage Axis 2 xp 6.5 ourselves. Best bang for your buck!
Just picked up the new model savage 110 apex in 6.5 cm it’s matched up with a simple vortex crossfire II 3x9x40 and I can say that this gun has blown my expectations Already best 500 set up in the market for longer range applications for the everyday man!
$500*
It really is amazing what you can get for your money these days.
JESUS DIED FOR YOU
When I'm watching this, the video has 1,468 views.... I think you maybe just helped sell 1400 rifles!!! Yeah, thanks for helping! lol - stay safe!
What this shows you is you don't need all that hype and expense to get the "very best" tool for the job. A good tool regardless of cost will get the job done.
I just got one today. I can't wait to go to the range. I am imagining one raged hole groups at 100 yards. Not sure if I'll get that out of factory ammo though, maybe match stuff.
How'd it go!?
I got to say the guns that Savage , Remington, and the other budget guns are sure getting good. My 783 is a darn good shooter
As I’ve learnt more on my journey as a firearms owner. Looking at getting into larger caliber as I only one .22s as at the time in my state those were the easiest to get plus the 1022 is a sexy beast. But I feel the savage axis will be my next purchase as I’ve watched videos and talked with people it seems to be the Corolla/civic of bolt actions ain’t pretty ain’t fancy but it works and it works pretty well
I love my Savage Axis by the way i love that paint job! My Savage also loves American Eagle
It was this very video that convinced me to buy a savage axis II xp in 6.5 creedmoor. I still have yet to find any American eagle 140 grain open tip match yet for her. I call her windcutter, I thought that was a pretty accurate name for it.
Could be that the Savage is the best fir for your body structure.
Congrats!
6.5 creed is some flat shooting stuff. Nice work!
Thanks for making this video! I'm buying one of these now.
I really liked what you said about thar rifle. I was on the fence on whether or not to buying that rifle. After watching your video I decided to go and pick one up, I'll let you know how it goes.
I just purchased one....I'm now super excited. Great video
1000 yards with the Savage in 308 is no problem at all. I've hit targets at 1000 yards with Sako gamehead 180 grain rounds a few times. Highly recommend that ammo.
I'm sold !! My Birthday gift from my mom on her list :)
Great review was fun to watch. Thanks man!
Just picked one of these up yesterday and haven't had a chance to shoot it yet so this vid makes me really excited :D
What was the app you said you used to approximate the bullet drop?
Thanks in advance, great vid!
Edit: Found the app, gonna have a great time with this rifle
That gun in 500$ over here in CA
Thinking about it, but not sure why I need it. Only need home defense and SHTF guns. I don't have any guns with a scope yet.
Dude I love that paint job! Just picked up my first Savage axis in 6.5 cm
Thanks, man. Rock on!
Doesn't always have to be an expensive rifle, Although I had a savage axis II in 25-06, shot great at 50yds, at 100, it was everywhere no matter I did. Sold it.
I Was very surprised by this video. I used to hunt a lot as a kid and have shot pistol all my life. I'm now wanting to get into long range competition shooting now. I would really appreciate your opinion. I've been looking at the Savage precision rifles because I want to get to 1000 yds. and I like the 6.5 Creedmoor simply for the fact they shoot relatively flatter. Precision rifles can get really expensive. I need to keep it under $1100.00. These were going to be thing I had questions on for you.
Good Morning,
I have this same rifle for elk hunting. My question is, with a 100yd zero, how do you know the holds for greater than that? I have the basic Weaver 3-9 scope that came with it.
Knowing your holds takes work. You need all the data on your round... grain weight, velocity, ballistic coefficient, etc. Usually that's marked on the box, but sometimes you have to measure it yourself. OR find it online from a shooter who has already done the work. You also want to know the scope over bore height, which you can measure yourself, center of bore to center of scope.
Then you'll want to find a good ballistic app that already has your particular scope reticle as an option, and enter all that info into the app. By doing that, you create a profile for your rifle/round which the app can use to predict drop. It should also show you what that drop looks like through your reticle at varying distances and scope magnification levels. Wind hold is another thing to consider, and if you can measure that at your range, you can put that data in... otherwise it's a guess.
The app I like to use is called iStrelok. There are several others though, so take your time and find the one that suits you best. Most importantly, understand that long range shooting takes lots of work and study to get right. Pulling the trigger is the last of many steps.
I don't see anything wrong with that scope... I think it's a perfect example of a budget rifle. Yes, you could go "better", but why when you just showed what you can do with it. Nice vid
That's some awesome shooting with the Savage.Maybe you don't have to always spend big bucks to get a good shooter.
@ Late Boyscout hey there try the Hornady eld match 140gr. My 14 yr old son is getting Sub moa @ 1000yds out of my ruger American predator 6.5 creedmore only things I did to it was added vortex 4x18 scope, sanded down, buffed and polished trigger which it comes with the accu trigger and is adjustable also barrel is threaded so I put on a $30 muzzle brake I added a $10 cheek riser and 14oz of lead in the stock AWESOME AWESOME gun which I paid $299 new and have total of $500 in and it's the best shooting gun out of my whole arsenal
After watching this I think I may just get a axis and get into long range…… now I’ve just gotta find a place outside tooele to reach out to distance after I buy one!
You can never go wrong with a Savage rifle
Won my Savage axis II in a raffle... really enjoyed this video. haven't gotten to shoot it yet
That bolt action accuracy
I miss your videos always enjoyed them
Hey Boy Scout did u mention the holdover I was just wondering how much u we’re using, 1000 yards is a long poke. Is it the round that makes it that accurate ? Hope u can get back to me with this and thanks again
Got one last week
What length is the barrel?
