This may be a foolish question but can a Savis Axis be used a donor rifle to be used with a pre fitted smokeless barrel

If the action has the same thread pitch as the prefit barrel then yes. However, the Axis is a really cheap action that I’d think twice about using for a smokeless build. There’s better options out there. They do not accept standard recoil lugs (without some machining) and the triggers leave A LOT to be desired. The loading port is also a lot smaller than a standard Savage 10/110 which would be impossible for my chubby nubs. 😇

Yes an axis action can be used I have seen a couple builds. If it is what you have and what your budget will allow I wouldn't count it out.

As Deputy said earlier not a lot of aftermarket options. If inexpensive is what you are looking for a CVA is hard to beat.

The ones I saw were machined and built by the owner. Very limited stocks and triggers also. |
