4:07 Yes! I installed the M*Carbo kit in my Axis. They trigger went from the worst in my gun rack to one of the best. It was easy - exactly as in their video - and inexpensive. The rifle shoots great (hunting accuracy, not competition) so I will wait before deciding on the Boyds stock. I _really_ don't like the bolt so it looks like a Desh kit is next.
Agree so much on trigger kit. Its amazing what simple diy upgrades can transform into. Eventually I plan on sending my bolt out to Desh to rework it but the lift kit is a improvement no doubt. Desh is very knowledgeable as well if you ever have issues with these rifles. Thanks for watching and best of luck with your mods 👍
Thats awesome, your going to love it. Took me a little bit to get use to the thumb hole as I never had a stock with one, but man I love it. Lmk how you like it
Just got mine two days ago Monday I will piller and bed it. I love body. Have three off body stock myself. First thumb stock. Put in alot for other people. Work on guns. Have nothing but great things to say about body stock. They have any stock you want God bless you and your family
Thank you for kind words. I don't think I would look at any other company for a replacement stock than Boyds. Thinking of doing my old Ithaca 12g police special with Boyds next.
totally know what you mean about the inexpensive savage stocks. My Savage 64 22lr was under 200$ and the stock yes looks good but it's cheap and you can tell. That new stock is and absalout gem that's a rifle worthy of the term badassry 100%. great video man!!
My point is: when I watch a review, I want to see tangible results that can help my decision to spend the extra $200 for the stock. In my case, I am beginning to think that maybe the 1 out of 5 flyer is caused when the barrel heats up, it is now slightly touching the factory stock, whereas cold, it is floating. Next time I shoot, I will test it between shots with a piece of paper.
Hey man, this is a very informative video. Love that you did this with an Axis as well - those rifles are incredibly accurate out of the box; a couple of upgrades like the Boyds stock, Timney trigger, etc and away you go. I think the main reasons to go with the 110 over the Axis are the trigger and stock anyway, so good choice! Keep up the good work/ posts.
Thank you, I truly appreciate it. Absolutely the Axis is a great rifle especially as economical it is. The Boyds stock and other upgrades I have in this and my other videos really transformed looks, accuracy, and performance. Thank again for stopping by 👍
Looking at your scope mounts I think the cross bolts are rounded. From experience I can tell you that over time the round cross bolt will shift in the base mount and cause the rifle to shoot inaccurately. With heavier caliber rifle’s I’ve seen the scope jump out from the base. If this is the case buy yourself a regular pair of Weaver type rings with the square cross bolt. How did it shoot?? I’m ordering the exact same stock tomorrow.
Thank you I appreciate that tip. I plan on replacing this scope, but I think I will do those weaver mounts first. Rifle shoots amazing, the stock is a huge improvement in balance and feel. The bolt action was tight from factory, but I did the Desh Industries bolt lift kit, aluminum mag catch, and aluminum trigger gaurd. These upgrades were all huge improvements, I have a video on that as well. Hope to have more videos with more improvements this spring, put it on hold for hunting season. I harvested a decent size whitetail doe with it. Thanks again 👍
Exelant choice... I picked up a camp stock in coyote with metal trigger guard and mag holder. Looks awesome. Wish I would have ordered the pillar bedding. I have the pillars but haven't bedded yet.
Outstanding ! The coyote was my 2nd choice it looks great. Definitely go for doing the bedding, I really was going to do myself originally but for the cost it wasn't bad. Check out my other vids on this build episode 2 has a giveaway that's still on but may end early as not many entering. Ep3 is quick but cool also. Ill be doing more in spring for now I'm hunting with it. Thanks for watching 👍
@@BarkEater oh I watch all 3 back to back. And the 2 shorts. Had to since mine is 30-06 as well. I will more than likely purchase that bearing upgrade for the bolt. I 3d print so you gave me another project for my bolt. I follow Hoffman tactical so one look at his videos you'll know why.... 😇
Awesome 👍 glad I could help out. I'm sure your going to live it. I never weighed mine but specs I had from boyds was approximately 2.5 lbs. Also if your unsure, go the extra bit and get the Pillar bedding. Im glad I did, but still plan on doing glass bedding in addition to. Thanks for watching and if you haven't looked yet I have a few other vids on here with other great upgrades to this rifle. 👍 💪
@@BarkEater I got the pillar bedding right after I watched the video. I almost ordered it but I'll wait until my order for the rifle (Remington 783 .308 bullbarrel) is fulfilled, it's takes weeks to get a firearm from a bigbox in CO nowadays.
@@frankenjstein9371 outstanding. Ehh NY isn't much better, we now have to pay for background checks to buy ammo. #clownworld best of luck man thats a great caliber and rifle.
Boyds makes nice stocks. I have purchased a few, but honestly your video is fiction. Some Boyd's fit better than others and the same goes for the synthetic stocks from Savage. They can shoot as well as Boyds if they fit well. They are steel pillar bedded and some have more free float than others. You can always remove material and make enough free float it will never touch in firing and be very accurate. I do like the Boyd's stocks much better especially the thumbholes, but they don't always shoot better than the stock ones when they fit well. That is the cold hard facts of life. When bedded properly and floated properly then the Boyds is definitely better but not necessarily so if that is not all done. Been there and done that.
I have to disagree in this case. The factory Savage axis stock was so flexible and warped out of straight, I didn't even want to waste a round shooting it before the boyds went on. The aluminum bedding from boyds and no need for removal of material on mine was outstanding. With that being said I will be glass bedding in addition to the Pillar bedding from boyds but not out of necessity only out of preference as it shoots amazing still. I can agree that there might be instances for other models of stock and / or rifles that might need minor adjustments or might not be an accuracy upgrade. Thanks for stopping by 👍
All I was saying was what you ended up agreeing with. I have Savage stocks that have shot great out of the box and some that did not. They are steel bedded and if the free float is good great. If not, not so much. Also, I have Boyds stocks, and I have some that just bolted up and shot great and I have one that needs a bit of tweaking. I have not had any of them pillar bedded as you did. I have bedded rifles and may end up bedding the one I am working on, but I am hopeful that I won't need to for sub-MOA. I do intend on getting a few more Boyds stocks BTW for at least another 3 of my rifles. But I don't expect bolt on accuracy out of the box. I am a realist. But it can happen.@@BarkEater
Thanks for stopping by and the sub 👍 The stock was at my door within 2 weeks of placing my order. I've heard some come sooner, some little longer. Super pleased with Boyds on all aspects.
I have, first upgrade I performed out of box was the Mcarbo trigger kit set at 3.5lbs. It definitely feels nicer with less side to side play as well. Unfortunately I did this before I started the filming 😕 thank you for mentioning it, I should maybe touch on that in next episode. Appreciate you watching.
@@pglover780 Don't worry Boyd's is pretty fast about getting them out. Mine took less than 2 weeks and I had the bedding done. Check out my other vids on this build, next one has a axis upgrade part giveaway contest 😉
You left out the most important factor of this video. You didn't show us the group you shot. You review a product and don't even report if the gun became more accurate with the replacement stock over the factory stock. For all we know, it became less accurate.
I can see your point however I never shot it with original stock and highy unlikely it became less accurate because the new rifle with factory stock was not even floating barrel like it should be. The barrel was rubbing edge of stock on the left side which is a huge inaccuracy. I seen no sense in wasting rounds through it with the Tupperware like factory stock. I get it, these cheap flexible plastic stocks keep the rifle price very affordable but I'm not going to waste my time with them. Hope you understand where I'm coming from and thanks for watching 👍
Thank you its holding up great still. Thats something I should of done is weigh before and after. In hand it seems a tiny lighter. Unsure what original stock weighed but spike camp specs say about 2.5lbs. Hope that gives you a idea. Thanks again
@Lij_MC for me it definitely is, however they do sell a 1" limbsaver recoil pad on boyds site, i almost purchased to give more pull length but wasn't desired after shooting.
So I'm gonna buy the spike camp for my 300 win mag savage 110! Did you take any measurements of the synthetic stock in order to get the correct stock? I can't wait to order mine!!!!
Nope just go to the boydsgunstocks site and use the build a stock option enter you model rifle, select options. Left or right hand, color etc... thats it. Not sure how busy they are now but usually its at door within a couple weeks. You'll love it let me know how it looks or shoot me a message with pics on my Instagram. Enjoy 👍
I would definitely resist or at least check it after the swap. It most likely won't change or change much. Mine was new rifle never fired so I had not sighted in beforehand. Definitely recommend Boyds stocks. Thanks for watching 👍
John, one here is the spike camp model in camo with matte finish. I'm sitting in tree stand now as I type this, no luck yet this season with it but still can't be more pleased with Boyds. Thanks for watching 👍
I had to trash my boyd stock because they didnt mill out the action right. I went back to the og black stock because savage Customer service is like 20 times better then boyds.
Wow that really surprises me to hear, I have nothing but great experiences with the folks at Boyds and everyone I've talked to says same. Must be some bad luck. Anyhow glad your happy now.
@@adammcduffie3268 haha no problem. Yes pillars are nice, I will be doing a full glass bed with pillars left in eventually. I plan on filming that as well. Thanks for stopping by 👍
@BarkEater ok thanks for the info I'm was fixing to buy the same one and just wanted to see what it looked liked before. And I agree a gloss finish would give off too much light glare
I don't agree. You should have at least zeroed your scope with the original stock and expended 5-10 shots to test the accuracy. I have a Savage Axis ii in stainless in 6.5 cm. Using Win Deer Season, I consistently get 3/4" groups four shots and one flyer at 1.5". Wait for barrel to cool and replicate same group pattern. All with original cheap stock. For years i'm thinking about getting a Boyd's stock, but I'm apprehensive, that it won't be any more accurate.
Thats great, you might of gotten lucky and got a good one from factory. Visually inspecting mine out of box, it was no good. My first decision was to epoxy fill the void in stock, it did nothing but add weight it was so warped. 5-10 shots in NY where ammo is scarce at times and outrageously priced, I wasn't wasting any. If yours is good then I guess it comes down to preference, im old school maybe but ill choose wood over plastic any day. Bedding is whats going to give the true accuracy anyhow. Best of luck 👍
@@BarkEater why not call savage and explain your dissatisfaction? They have excellent customer service and if your stock was really that bad I'm sure that would've sent a replacement or had you send the rifle to them (on their dime) to be fixed. Nothing against your video or Boyd's
@@scotteger6271 Honestly I am not a fan of synthetic plastic stocks so even with a new one I would of made a swap to another. I dont expect a great stock to be on a budget friendly rifle so I don't hold it against Savage at all. But you are correct that could of been a option. 👍
Nice video! Many plastic stocks bend and twist like rubber bands because they're hollow, light and, unfortunately, far too flexible to make plastic stocks a solid foundation for a barreled action. But not a Boyds Hardwood gunstock -- they're solid, Stiff and stable. Just take a look at Boyds' High Speed Camera footage here in this short video: czcams.com/video/iqpYTECGc2I/video.html and you'll see the difference between a Boyds Hardwood Gunstock and a plastic stock.
Absolutely by far this rifle is not only better looking but the stability, lack of flexibility, and improvement in accuracy from #Boyds stock are remarkable. Wow great short video right there, everyone buying a plastic stock rifle should be starting the Boyds gunstock configuration tool on the website. Thanks for watching and expect to see a lot more of this rifle as the build continues.
You forgot to to bed your rifle it came pre pillar bedded then you finish with a good beddeding,I know the Axis rifle and I don't care what you do it will never be a 1000yrd rifle, maybe the 110 but this is your's and if you get 400yrds out of it I would be very surprised and I don't want to be negative but you never even fired the thing,to me the whole thing is bogus but it belongs to you a beginner so you do have to start some where,The gun stocks that Boyd's make are very nice in all regards they do great work,sorry I ramble that's just me,aim small good hunting !
Pillar and Glass bedding are two separate methods to bed a rifle. Both do not need to be combined to have a bedded rifle, however yes most competition shooters combine both methods. As you can clearly see this is a multipart series on this rifle, and glass bedding will come in a future episode. I also suggest you search around and look at the multiple other Savage Axis converted into dependable 1000yds rifles, yes they are out there. I am far from a beginner, but appreciate your concern. I never fired it because I won this rifle in a buck contest and decided to do something special with it in a video series, so far I have nothing but solid feedback. Not sure what else to tell you, but hey thanks for watching 👍

How do old cast iron fry pans hold up to 30 cal? How many shots do you think you can get before it's Swiss cheese? Or do they last 4ever?
Probably 1 shot cast will crack in half 😂 mild steel makes great targets because they allow smooth pass through.

These are strength cross plugs to prevent twist lateral movement in the stock.
Thanks 👍
What is the barrel length on this rifle?
30-06 Axis is 22" barrel
I don't agree. You should have at least zeroed your scope with the original stock and expended 5-10 shots to test the accuracy. I have a Savage Axis ii in stainless in 6.5 cm.

I never fired it because I won this rifle in a buck contest and decided to do something special with it in a video series, so far I have nothing but solid feedback. Not sure what else to tell you, but hey thanks for watching 👍
I guess you never seen this vid and the dozen ones just like it
