Little background: I bought a Savage Axis II in 308 about 2 years ago and just put an adjustable Boyd stock on it. The gun came with a cheap Weaver scope. You can buy them just north of $400 plus the stock for $200.
I really like the Savage and was thinking about getting the new 110 in 6.5 CM and a good scope.
Today I took the Axis to the range and hit the 300 and 400 yard steel with just about every shot. Then reached out to 500-yards. When we figured out where to hold the cross hairs we hit the steel 5 out of 6 times. The scope is one that does not have the external adjustments so we just held it to the left and up. The power of the scope is a 3x9.
Question that I have is, I can get the Axis II without a scope for $500 less than the 110. Scope price would be the same and add the Boyd stock is around $200 to the 6.5.
How much better to you think the Savage 110 would shot over the Axis?
