🤣🤣🤣 i didnt even notice his hair until i read this comment!
Efficient!
🤣🤣🤣
I’ve had all three. For the money especially with a rebate, Savage is best value. All three will outshoot most shooters ability.
Well said.
I had a savage once, its incredible what you'll find at the local dump 😂
Savage make the only left-handed bolt guns at a cheap price that are as quality and as accurate as stuff twice the price.
And for that, they have my dollar.
Lefties stand tall. It's hard to find a left handed rifle at an affordable price. I'll take a closer look at Savage.
Chris Pieper fuck left, a normal rifle is what caters to G’s
I’m a leftie but just buy right handed. Cheaper and easier to sell.
Just don't take it out in the rain,lol!
Ruger American can be had lefty.
The Ruger is ridiculously accurate... especially for that kind of price
I got the 308 model and it’s reliable and accurate as you can want. Ruger makes good firearms especially rifles.
Them there 308 Ruger American rifles will show you how good you are with 180 gr power points from Winchester. Mine is just killing it with these.
All these rifles will shoot just fine for deer hunting. But of the 3 we've gotten best accuracy from the Savage. In fact, my son's older Savage "Edge" 30-6 is the most accurate rifle in my home, out of about 15 more expensive deer rifles.
One thing to consider is service after the sale. When things go wrong who will take care of you better. I know from experience that Ruger will take care of you no matter what. Their service is one of the best in the industry. I've never used Savage yet so I can't say anything from a personal standpoint but I haven't heard anything bad about them from anyone. Remington on the other hand has universally been considered the worst for at least two decades. Having examined several new Savage rifles I can say that the quality appears first class. My personal opinion is a toss up between Ruger or Savage and buy whatever you think suits your eye appeal and needs.
I recently purchased an accutrigger axis and I have had an American 17hmr for over two years. Not a joke but they are both capable of .5 moa groups with factory ammo. I was always hesitant about guns like this but I am not hesitant to buy savages and have always loved all my Rugers
I recently bought a Ruger American 30.06 rifle like the one you showed in this video. The gun shop also had a Savage version as well, but I'm the sort of person who usually always picks the firearm that saves me a few bucks. Looking back now kind of I wished I'd went for the Savage rifle, but honestly I'm still satisfied with the Ruger.
After sighting in at 60 feet, I could easily cover 5 shots with a nickel czcams.com/users/postUgkxQt2uORDRfFOVSrO4idv4B90ThT6EOnEL ! Truly a pleasure to shoot! Scope was easy to adjust for eye relief. Only problem the varmints must have seen it delivered lol!Update: So impressed with shot groups at 30 yards I purchased a Hammers 3×9 with adjustable Objective scope! Now a true nail driver!
We bought the Savage 30.06 for my Son. We look at the Ruger 1st and found it to be a "cheaper" feeling gun. The main thing is he loves the rifle and is in Osage Co. hunting deer. We like the Savage and would recommend it.
They're all "cheap feeling" guns lol. I hunt with a Ruger American but simply because it does the job. I also have a few model 70s which are in a class of their own. These cheap budget guns are really good tools but that's about it. None of them are quality lifelong heirloom type guns and never will be but they do serve a purpose.
@James clark the savage axis the ruger American the Rem 770 783 and the Mossbergs all feel like junk compared to these entry level rifles. The Howa 1500 WBY Vanguard TC Venture or Icon. Spend a few dollars more and get a Savage model 10 or 11 or a 110
I've looked at and handled the Ruger and the Savage extensively mainly because at the price point and calibers that I might consider (for Elk & Muleys) they are the only ones that are offered in LH. Overall the Ruger is the winner IMO. I think some commenter's perception that it feels "cheap" is because it is a pretty light gun; which is fine with me, since I do most of my big-game hunting between 8,000 & 12,000 feet above sea level. The fit, finish and operation is superior to the Savage, particularly the bolt design and feel, and the bedding system in the stock, which is very solid. The cheapest 700 to meet my needs is going to be well over $200.00 more than Ruger (which can be found in the mid- $300's) ...and as legendary as the 700 action is; that 3-lug Ruger bolt/receiver is nothing to scoff at. It's smooth and solid. Mine should be here any day now.
I'd rather spend extra and have one great rifle. You can only shoot one rifle at a time.. These are ugly.
The crisp sounds opening these cardboard boxs and unwrapping the rifles make is music to my ears.
Savage axis II is what I have with adjustable accu trigger and I think it performs really good out of the box. The bolt action is very reliable and cycles great every time, however it has too much play and it’s not the smoothest. Out of this 3, I’ll go with Savage. When I purchased mine it also came with already mounted scope.
There is a kit to lighten bolt lift and also glades armory makes an aftermarket bolt handle that is much longer. I ordered both before I even shot the gun. But I had already tried the glades armory bolt handle on my TC venture and it make a huge difference.
I shot a Remington 700 BDL 26 inch barrel in the 2506 caliber for years. Killed lots of deer and ground hogs at long range. I loved it. You dont hear a lot about the 2506 caliber anymore.
Just got one. Love it! Brother talked me into the caliber, really awesome ballistics
Savage axis is a great rifle. The action is smooth and shoots great. The ruger has a cold hammer barrel which is better than both, and the barrel is 90% of what matters in accuracy. Id go with the axis, then the ruger.
I have rem 700s and Ruger m77 mk2 and savage 110s and 16 as well as browning abolt, the savage rifles of 10/110 12 16/116 etc are the most accurate out of box rifles period !
Savage is on average always more accurate than the competition.
That dadgum 308 of mine surely isn't a one in a million, but I'm here in tell you that Ruger American is still punching out incredible groups are 300 meters. If you want a genuine tack driving deer and hog rifle, look no further, just be sure to use the Winchester 180 power points, This is a light, exceptionally accurate rifle with a 22 in. barrel, and you won't have to chase em down, I can guarantee you of that with the 180 Winchester power points.
My Ruger American in 308 is exceptionaly accurate. I'm very happy with sub- minute groups, last 3 shot group @ 200 yds was only 1.28.
I have been using a Remington Model 700 30-.06 for over a decade. It has been deadly accurate, and just this year I dropped the biggest buck of my life with it. That being said, it is a heavy rifle to pack. I don't know if it's just because of how old it is, but compared to other rifles I own, it's just a heavy gun. We picked up a Savage Axis XP 7mm-.08 for the wife a couple years ago, and the weight difference is ridiculous. Her rifle as also been just as accurate, and she can easily pack it on long hikes in and out of the back country. As much as I love my Remington, I am highly considering replacing it with a Savage.
My God man! Heresy! Lol.
J/k. It has gotten crazy with the availability of cheap, light, and accurate bolt guns. If yall are hunting where a 7mm-08 is a good call, I wouldn't blame you for ditching the old Rem. 30-06 for a lighter rifle. DO NOT get rid of that model 700. These new guns are awesome for price and performance.
They are however, throw aways. Just like cars nowadays. They are not built for longevity. They are built to be awesome today, but trash tomorrow.
Even compared to the new model 700s. Your guns hardened components and overall quality will always make a gunsmith smile, and has the potential to be a heirloom gun. Even if you don't have kids, you can teach a person how to hunt with that gun, and long after you are gone.....that gun will uphold your legacy far into the future. I have safe queens that come out to teach to young ones. I don't even really hunt much anymore. But I have guns that carry the stories and legacy of men that died long ago. Men that I never met, that lived and died wayyyy before my time; they still live on in the Great firearms that I own.
I know friends that are the same. My buddy Clint knows very little about his Grandfather. But...the probably embellished exploits of his great uncle on his moms side live on in detail through a Rem. 870 pump gun, a Steven's bolt .22, and a winchester lever action .30-30. NONE of these guns have ever been lackluster in any way while I was present.
The daily use of these tools while we were younger, would be considered "torture test" on CZcams today.
Now that we are older, we hold more reverence for these treasures from the past.
I still had it out with my ex-wife, when she found out that my 10yr old was released into the wild with 500 rnds of .22 lr, and my grandads old winchester. And she was encouraged to come and grab the Steven's/savage mod. 311 20guage. SxS and some shells when there was an itch that .22 couldn't scratch. My daughter couldn't kill a squirrel, but she has been instilled with pride in her heritage, and understands that those of us that would kill for, expect her to do the same in our absence.
She is so comfortable with those tools, and their capabilities, that she is very well suited to defending herself. There is no fear recoil or noise. And she knows that even if she is alone, family is there with those guns. I have no worries about her hesitation if it is that kind of situation.
A co worker has a Savage Axis 30-06 he is wanting to sell me on the cheap side of things. I think it’s only been fired once, if at all. After watching this video, I think I will buy it off him.
the ruger is by far my favorite
yeah comes in a cardboard box and plastic sleeve
My friend had a Ruger Hawkeye 308 it was a good gun but one day me and shot his Ruger 308 and my Remington 700 Walnut stock ADL 270 and the Remington grouped much better at 100 and 200 yards and the trigger pull was much smoother. After shooting my Remington he traded his Ruger for Remington 700 308. just like my gun and he loves it. I've know a lot of people that had trouble with how some of there Rugers group. Which I've also herd people complain about the new Remingtons without the free floating barrels that they don't group like the old 700's with the floating barrels. I also have a Savage Axis in 223. and for the price it's a good gun the trigger pull isn't good as the Remington but I'm old school and don't like the new Accu-trigger and it's a value rifle. I've not shot the Ruger American so I hafta shoot one.
Shoot a Howa 1500 and you will change your mind
@@jonsmith919 If im going to buy a gun made in Japan ill buy a weatherby
@@DeezCheez69 weatherby vanguard is made by howa. Fyi.
Ive got the Axis and by far like it better than the Ruger or the Remington that my friends have but I also just recently purchased the TC Compass and love it over all of them.
I just can't quit bragging about my 308 Ruger American. I shoot 180 gr. Winchester power- points and all I've done is lighten the trigger and put a vortex crossfire scope on it. That gun has shot 3 rounds into a cloverleaf, or a single jagged hole at 109 yds or 100 meters and I ain't kidding either. Exceptional accuracy with this ammo!
Your videos are always so informative and helpful. You have a keen sense of which details are important and how each brand varies with respect to those details. Thanks.
axis for sure, compared to the Remington. have both and way prefer my axis
Go 308-SAVAGE AXIS 2....straight out the box!!!!! 3 Deer 3 shots. All different days. One at about 40 yards....one at about 50 in the woods...and one at about 115 on a slightly windy day....im SO IMPRESSED! Hit dead on! Dropped all 3 where they stood
I have a Ruger American in 7mm-08. It's very accurate and that bolt action is so freaking smooth!
Cool video. I am lucky enough to own a Marlin xl7 in .270 that was produced in North Haven before Remington took them over. That was the best budget gun imo.
FYI. The Remington 783 is 95% clone of the marlin XS and XL series
I use a ruger American rifle, and it is the most reliable gun I own and it’s real light cause the synthetic stock. I really recommend the rifle!
Plastic trigger guard tho . Cheaply made I have a brand new M77 Hawkeye in 300 win mag my guns a lot better than yours dude
His gun can do what yours does but it costs less, so plastic trigger guard doesn't effect how it shoots. Magpul offers a tactical solution in a stock if that is an issue. Cant beat the Ruger action in either the RA or the Hawkeye.
David Bader I had a Ruger American in 308 when they first came out and I was up in the mountains in Colorado and it was cold the plastic trigger guard got Brittle and cracked no joke on god ever since I’ve always told people don’t buy those things .... you’ll learn trust me
David Bader Save your money buy a Hawkeye or buy a Remington 700 adl which for the same price has a stainless steel trigger guard
足立あきら I’m taking the action out of mine and putting it in a magpul stock. Well worth it
I have a Savage Axis and did several videos with it on my channel. I had issues with the extractor out of the box. Replaced that. If anyone buys this gun, they HAVE to work on the trigger or replace it: no doubt about that! The magazine wiggles a bit when inserted. The bolt has wiggle when fully extended. Not a huge deal for a budget gun but those get better as you buy a "better" gun. The trigger guard is plastic. I didn't get a heavy barrel but if you range shoot often it's worth it. The stock is not great. If you use a tripod, it's best to replace. My best groups were 1.5 MOA at 100 yds. I haven't replaced the stock yet, but I might be doing so soon and seeing if that tightens groups. After all of that plus your labor, I'm not sure it's a scorching hot deal, but I can see why it's a popular choice.
Some years ago I bought the (at that time) cheaper version of the Savage Model 10/110, the Stevens Model 200 in .223 Remington. Crappy stock that I replaced with a Boyd's laminate stock. This rifle was extremely accurate with premium target ammo but for some reason that I can't remember now, I wanted to convert it to a larger caliber. I replaced the barrel, bolt head and magazine components for .243 Winchester Used a heavy target barrel. Good shooter but I wasn't satisfied so I replaced the barrel again with one in .308 Winchester. Put a "Rifle Basix" trigger in and a steel trigger guard. Did some more modifications to numerous to list here. Suffice it to say, I am very happy with the final rifle.
My Ruger American cycles like champ, no feeding issues with the mag
Ben Ladik you’re one of the lucky ones
Everyone is on a budget. (11:09) That's why we're looking at this video, trying to find the best cheap gun...
Ur channel kinda reminds me of forgotten weapons except that its done in a gunshop with modern rifles.
I have all three , but I’ve taken more deer n feral hogs with my savage rifles than the rest of them , Savage is a savage in the field n at long distance shots too ,,,,
I have the savage arms 1-11, 30-06. Absolutely love it. Use it as my hunting rifle. You cant go wrong with savage.
Great video , I think I'm going to be going with the Ruger American in 762x39
The ruger American also comes in .300 win mag and .338 win mag
You really know your products and speak quickly about their details. Good job.
Cherokee44 Oklahoma he was wrong sps stands for special purpose synthetic doesn’t really know his stuff
I have the Ruger in .308 and Savage in .270. The magazine for my Ruger has feed issues, it's like the spring is too week. Sometimes when I try to bolt a round, the next one doesn't push up high enough to be caught. The magazine installation on the Axis is clunky. I much prefer the Ruger overall over the Axis. Though both guns are great for the money, can't go wrong with either one.
If you call Ruger you can buy a conversion kit for AI mags. Cost me $25.95, $19.95 for the kit and $6 for shipping. Well worth it.
Go for Ruger I got one and it's deadly every shot
you get the most out of your money with the American
Military background. I love ruger. During and after my OEF OIF deployments I poured over tons of forums, reviews, etc etc and had experience with all 3 companies. No personal negative experiences with any of these brands but i knew Remington was suffering badly from quality control issues and had been for about a decade. Savage was on the upstroke. I had a good friend that was USMC Recon Sniper. He recommended savage and my brother had bought a savage the year prior. Long story short i got the savage 10 trophy hunter xp and have zero regrets. Just got my wife an axis for Christmas. Not sure if Remington has fixed their problems but I love my Savage. Ruger has always been very respectable. Bottom line the only one of these 3 I would have any concerns with is the Remington
Please don't put your left hand over the muzzle of a rifle with the bolt closed; or, actually, over the muzzle of any gun - it's just not safe gun handling. Your idea for a review was great. You did a superb job on your review and you were very fair to all the guns.
I got a 700 adl 30-06 last Christmas & put in in the Magpul Hunter 700 stock, LOVE that gun!! The other day my Ruger American Predator Go Wild in 6.5 CM came in, didn’t shoot it yet but it looks great & feels nice right out of the box, just thought it was a cool coincidence
I painted my 700, it turns out that the only good thing about the factory matte finish is that it takes paint really well.
You did a great job explaining these bolt action rifles.... Thanks for making Vid👍
Thank you for review. Now go back to bed.
He did comb his hair with a tennis shoe
Haha
I have been told that for the past several years that Remington quality has diminished. About 45 years ago I purchased a Remington in .223 and a Weaver 4x wide angle scope and with hand loaded ammunition I could constantly cover a 100 yard shot group with a dime. I was stupid to sell that rifle.
ZZstaff: Some of the newer Remington stuff is not fantastic, but IMO the claims have been exaggerated. I have some experience with old and new Remington rifles, and for the most part they both do what is expected of them. I have seen some "fit and finish" issues with the newer ones, but that's just not very important to me. I want a rifle that is accurate and reliable. If a few lines don't match up pitch-perfect I don't get all worked up. And the good news is that you can find a very good older wood-stock 700 ADL or BDL in pawn shops in my area for around $400. So if you really want another one, I say shop around and you'll find one!
@@jakemitchell1671 I have already purchased another .223, however I have not shot it yet. I used to compete for the U.S. Army as a master, therefore my shooting ability may have been slightly better than the average shooter, thus the reason for tight groups with hand loaded ammunition.
@@ZZstaff Yes, your criteria will be different than a casual hunter/shooter, and IMHO it would be the rare new Remington that couldn't be made to shoot very well. I've had good luck bedding the tang and recoil lug areas, floating the barrel and then like you working up good handloads. My 30-06 ADL with laminate stock will put it's favorite load (150-grain Sierra GKs over IMR4064 or Varget) into tiny little groups when I do my part. My best friend's son used that combo to take a big 10-point whitetail at about 300 yards last year. Personally, of the 3 rifles in the video, I probably prefer the Savage. My son's Savage Edge 30-06 (it was called "Edge" before "Axis"), might be the most accurate rifle we own. The stock feels cheap, and being so light it kicks hard, and the drop-out mag doesn't always snap in exactly right, but I swear that rifle will SHOOT!!! It likes almost any load we feed it, but it shines with 165-grain Speer BTSPs over IMR-4350.
Remington 700's are basically just as good as the older ones. It is all the other crappy rifles such as the 770, 783 and such that has been giving Remington a bad rep. I've owned many variations over the years starting with the model 722. Remington may not offer the same quality of finish and beautiful wood that they used to but with a little know-how, you can make a 700 do whatever you want depending on how much work or money you want to spend
Great video, thx. This is probably the best unboxing video I’ve watched. Most unboxing videos are boring and I rarely watch in its entirety. This video had my attention beginning to end. Guess I’m prejudice preferring Savage or their Stevens line.
I have not had much luck with Remingtons, at all. The Savages and Rugers are another story. I have a Ruger Ranch in 450 Bushmaster and a Savage Axis in 270 I bought used for $125 and both shoot well above their class. The Ruger was Awesome right out of the box. I mounted a 2x7 Riton Primal scope on it and at 100 yards it just shoots a big ragged hole with those 45 cal bullets. The Savage had been neglected and required a good cleanup and I added a Pentax 2.5x10 scope on it. I added a $20 M*Carbo trigger kit for a crisp 2.5 pound trigger and that rifle shoots sub moa groups with my handloads as long as I do my part. I would also like to add the T/C Compass to your list, I have one in 7mm/08 with a Vortex 3x9 Crossfire scope on it and again it shoots better than I can producing groups on par with rifles costing 3 to 4 times as much. All are very smooth and fit and finish aren't bad either. Great rifles in all.
appreciate you were able to put the different models across Brand, and also across model ranges/level.
I think Savage has the best safety on any gun sad how far Remington had fell ,alot of junk ,Ruger is a great gun ,for the money it Savage all day long for me,thanks for posting
I would consider the Remington 783 the entry level rifle for Remington. I own the Remington 700 BDL with an aftermarket chassis system and I can get 2 inch groups at 300 yrds with this rifle.also the 700 ADL does not have the x mark pro trigger it is the regular x mark.... the pro has an allen key adjustment screw at the top of the trigger
I have both the Ruger American in 243 Rem and the Savage Axis in 223 Rem and they are both great for the money. I put a Mag Pul Hunter stock on the Ruger and Wow what a change in comfort and shootability. I als put better and longer bolt handles on both guns so I could charge the guns easier. All together they are both worth the money.
That's. 243 Win.
I have the remington 700 in 308 and couldn't be happier.
neither can I
Shouldn’t the Remington model be a 783 for this comparison?
I agree, but today's base model 700 is as cheesy as the others so it really didn't matter. These are not legacy guns, just adequate adequate hunting/range rifles for occasional use and would be suicidal to depend on against dangerous game. The Savage Axis is just an economy Model 10 and is by far the best out of the group. If so inclined, the Axis II has a better trigger and the Accu-stock.
I have seen 2 savage axis at shooting range ,beside me while I was there. One was brand new. The firing mechanism would not work. The other ,bullet would not extract out of barrel. Factory ammo. Not impressed.
@@samrumade9429 Using steel cased ammo?
The T/C Icon and Venture are goid too so we're the Marlin bolt actions they made for a short time. Charter Arms made an awesome rifle that was cheap Field King but is amazingly accurate I buy every used one I can find. Another rifle - that you find in used guns that is really good is the Interarms Mark V
If Zastava gets their import act fully together the fine mausers they imported under the Interarms then Remington then Charles Daly, etc labels will be available again.
Really appreciate the time and effort into this video. Helped me make a much better and informed decision.
The scope that comes on the 700 might work good for the .243 but the 7mm mag I bought shattered the scope after 8 shots 😂😂
Natchez usually has decent prices on decent optics.
The ADL does have an adjustable trigger. I have two of them. I hunt regularly, and rust has never been an issue. I did take a Dremel to the stock to free float it until I replaced them with Magpul Hunter 700 stocks... Great stocks btw. Even before I swapped the stocks out they were very accurate. With the Magpul stock it's much better.
FWIW- Ive used a lightweight Savage 110 .30-06 for 50-years as my mountain rifle. It has a fancy custom thumbhole stock, is easy to carry, has always shot very accurately, and I like its removable magazine. The only rifles I like more is my dad's Winchester Mod 70 or any super strong Weatherby Mk V (used to work there years ago... knew Roy).
Tough pick... you know what you do in a situation like that? Buy all 3 and think about it later! You'll be happy you did!
Stylist: How would you like your hair for this video Chris?
Chris: Lightly tousled please.
Stylist: Pulls up fighter jet and lights afterburner!
Tompson center compass. Best budget deer rifle there is right now.
My 700 in 223 had the most suckiest trigger pool imaginable. Junk in order to get it down to a manageable trigger pull it took out all the play.
In last two months I have purchased each one of these rifles in calibers 7.62X39, .270 and .30-06, all 3 had factory mounted scopes and were bore sighted at the factory according to instructions.The Savage Axis new out of the box had stripped threads in the hole of front swivel. When I tried to install a shoulder strap the front swivel fell out in my hand, disappointed I immediately got a letter off to Savage Arms, exactly 5 days later I received a new stock from Savage Arms, and they sent a return shipping label, postage paid. All 3 rifles shot fine (to be bore sighted) and functioned perfectly.
They all look good but the million dollar question is.....will any of them take glock mags? Huge deal breaker for me if they don't lol.
@@thatsmytwocents4372 Seriously? The guy is kidding. Take the stick out of your ass please.
No Glock mags, but Glock clipazines.
@@thatsmytwocents4372 lighten up man! Humor. Look it up.
@@thatsmytwocents4372 you do know what a joke is...right?
No glock point mags but with rems quality control you might get one to accidentally fit
I've had several Axis a problems with all of them, feeding issues, extractor issue and accuracy issue, I no longer sell any of them in my shop
Savage barrel all day.
Done lots of research and just my personal opinion.... I’d highly recommend the Ruger Trophy Hunter XP! It’s a step up from the Axis. Much better stock and just a good looking extremely accurate gun!
I love the Remington 700 !!! But!... Remington has really really went down on their quality! I’d really look at the Ruger rifle ! Great gun at a very reasonable cost! Just do one thing.., take the scope off that comes with gun and throw away the cheap rings and bases and get some good quality steel rings and bases and you will be good to go!!!!
Ruger 30-06 shooting 150 grain on target 800yd
The first thing I noticed was that Mossberg is absent.
Tom n because mossberg is terrible
James clark I’m not saying one rifle in the video is good... I used to buy rifles like these and if I were to buy one it would be the ruger American. I’ve bought mossberg a few times can’t say I ever will, I’d rather spend that money on an older mauser sporter that is made with quality. If you want to buy mossberg go for it my opinion mossberg is junk, watches other reviews where the gun couldn’t even shoot 3 moa with good factory ammo..
arborcidal maniac What are you calling bs on? I didn’t make a statement just my personal opinion on mossberg, which is shit!
Mossberg rifles are not great. Shotgun sure, rifle no.
I bought a Remington ADL 30-06. I didn’t like that the ruger and savage had a plastic magazine, it felt cheap and easily breakable
I just bought a Ruger Predator American in 6.5 Creedmoor last week.
Me too.. Have yet to shoot it but mounted a scope and shall fire it soon
For Savage the Accutrigger is a must. Don't get the base axis model unless you can't afford the axis II. It's about $100 difference but you get a much better gun. Or better yet get a used model 10.
I appreciate the unboxing portion of the video. I'd been staring at my new rifle's box for days now trying to figure out how to open it. Now that I got it out of the box, which end do the bullets go in?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I've never understood why someone would use the term "unboxing" to refer to them opening a box, let alone the concept recording yourself opening a box to begin with. Weird
Good vid but SPS stands for special purpose synthetic
I owned a Remington 788 in 6mm with a Weaver 4x scope. Nothing fancy but it was just as accurate as one costing $$$$ more.
Savage; The definition of accuracy! Sub moa all day.
All those rifles shoot better than 99% of the people that buy them.
My Ruger American does the same thing. .5 moa. I love it. Savage makes a good rifle too, as does Remmington
I wish all those models would come with iron sights especially the compact model
How much would it cost to have iron sight installed one of rifle?
Got a Ruger American 30:06. Was factory dirty shot like crap. Sent it back. Returned rifle had new bolt, First one had the WRONG bolt in it. STILL shot like crap & sent it back a 3rd time. Came back crowned & STILL shot like crap. Traded it for a brake job on my truck..I will NEVER buy another Ruger American. Strike 3 your OUT!! Always been a ruger loyalist, first one 50 years ago was an M77 300 win mag that put 3 shots in the same hole @ 100 yds. Their quality has turned to garbage last few years. MOST of my rugers gave 1/2 inch MOA or less. Not lately, & the last was the worst peice of garbage I ever bought. Had to pay all shipping charges too. Ruger never did compensate as they said they would.
I've got a Ruger all-weather and Model 77 / 30 odd 6. Had the same problem send it back to Ruger two or three times. They would send it back to me after putting a new bolt in and recrowning with the test paper showing 3/4 inch groups. The Model 77 uses proprietary rings. That being said they always ask me to take the Rings off and send the bare rifle. After a couple hundred rounds of ammo and 5 Scopes I figured out that the Rings were cut wrong. Shim them up with electrical tape. And now at 3/4 inch groups. It wasn't the gun it was the Rings
Savage is the clear winner !!!
Very beautiful rifle, greetings from Indonesia my brother
Personally I have found the Remington trigger alright. Replaced with a timney trigger and found it much better. Is a bdl in 308 and trigger was gritty feeling. Having owned a savage axis in 223. Wish trigger was better. No other complaints from me. Ended up traded it in for a savage 111 in 300 win mag. Will be upgrading it soon
I had an older savage and the safety sucked so bad I sold it after it cost me a huge buck do to the fact I couldn't get the safety off . I seen year's later savage put a better safety on the axis so I figured I would try the 243 axis and the only thing it was good at was light primer strikes ,click ,click click . I stuck 20 rounds of Remington ammo through it and it didn't fire a single one , so I stuck 2 different rounds of of Hornady through it and out of 40 rounds it fired 7 or 8. I sold that POS !! 2 year's later a buddy of mine was out of work do to back surgery and he won a 30-06 in the savage axis at a duck's unlimited convention and he asked me if I was interested it was brand new in box . I gave him 200 for it....... I actually said i would just give him 200 if he needed money because i hate savage their junk but he insisted I take the gun. I had it for a few months and I figured I would take that pos out and sight it in needless to say it did do better then the 243 it shot 8 rounds before it went click . Took the shell out and laughed 🤣 go figure light primer strike. Now it's taking up space in my safe . I wouldn't give an axis to my worst enemy.
Just killed a hog with a buddies Remington 700 chambered in .270 win and now I want one
Be cautious of your purchase,in my opinion, they have been sued for the safety failure on these 700 models.
Don't believe anything MSNBC says
Isn't the Rem 783 the budget comparison to the American and Axis?
Yes this is not a fair comparison of rifles.
It's actually a better design than the 700. Ppl are getting great accuracy out of the 783. With the barrel nut and all, I'd pick that over the sps series which are so hit and miss with qc.
The Remington 783 and 700 ADL are both budget bolt actions
Exactly, the 700 is a higher grade gun, even in the ADL configuration. &83 was and is touted as their "budget gun" the one that should be compared to the Savage and Ruger.
Did they finally get rid of the abortion that was the 770?
Remington has been going downhill for years. The Savage Axis 2 has the accutrigger now, and it's the best value for the dollar of the bunch - and also the most accurate out of the box, but honestly the Ruger American is a good rifle, and it's more accurate than the vast majority of shooters. I'd take either of those. I won't buy another Remington.
Don't buy a cheap rifle if your serious about hunting, A friend of mine was a cheapskate when it come to buying rifles and things related to hunting. he wanted me to check out his Savage 110, I think , bolt action 30-06, because he couldn't group any 5 shots within 8 inches of each other at 100 yds. So I took it and shot twice and realized the scope was moving. the Savage had two different ways to mount a scope, two groves up and down the receiver top like a .22 tighten the two screws and it clamps to the grooves tighter and 4 set screws. He had .22 scope mount rings on his 30-06 because they were cheaper than the other type, We then went and got Leupold mounts that lock in using the 4 set screw hole and his scope never moved again, plus he started bagging deer every season, whereas before he was the only one that came out of the woods empty handed, after awhile my friend went out to the gun shop and bought a Winchester .300 and a good quality Nikon scope and mounts. I showed him the difference between cheap and good quality and how it can make a difference when your trying to put meat on the table. Now he has bought many pistols and rifles since then, and every one was top quality, he paid the extra to get the best
I have an axis in .308 it’s not a bad rifle. I put a Boyd’s stock on it , bedded and floated it shoots very nice now.
Thompson compass ?
CZ rifles all have fixed sights and are set up for scope mounting.
I just got a Remington 700 in .270 and I can’t really find a problem with it.
American vs Axis, sounded familiar 😂
I had an American in 30-06, loved the rifle but sold it to upgrade to a 300 win
The most informative video i have ever seen to date....SUPERB JOB
Except how do they shoot ?
I have a savage axis in 7mm 08 and I love it. I personally love savage
I'll go with the Ruger....
I when with the savage axis and it is high quality for the price it light weight but it doesn’t kick hard
I think I’m gonna get the savage axis in 223 then put a Timney trigger in and a bloyd stock
Love your videos and love your store even more, always a pleasure doing business with you. Thank you for my new ruger .308!!
Hey thanks for the note! Thanks for coming in and for all of your continued support. I really appreciate your business!
None of these for me bc they are polymer stock. Prefer the classic wood. Thanks for the info.
