Gun and gear reviews Its your fault

Post image

This is all your guys fault. I always browsed Intersurplus.com but never really bought anything until today. Seeing you guys buying up all the good deals I had no choice, bought this earlier, as a side note. So far intersurplus has been great to deal with. I haven't received the firearm yet but so far they are very organized and professional.

Just wait until you see the reliable European o/u shotguns for the same price (my main trap gun for the last 2 years was a Sabatti for 395$. Other than an initial forend fix, it’s never not gone bang)

That's my next purchase. I wanted a decent gun for deer season first and foremost. I have a Savage Axis but I hate it

What's wrong with the Axis? I've never had one and don't hunt but I'm curious why you hate it haha

The original Axis, I've never handled an Axis 2 but I assume this applies as well, just feels very cheap. The bolt on my Axis 1 was awful, super sloppy, sometimes bound up. Accurate gun, but everything else felt cheap. I assume the trigger on the 2 with the Accutrigger is better, but the Axis 1 trigger was pretty bad, and then with the bolt issues, I sold it pretty fast. 

The Savage 334 on the other hand, is fantastic for around the same price. It is better in every way vs the Axis. I honestly don't know why the sell both. I absolutely love my 334, and it's basically on par with my Ruger American Predator Gen 2. Everyone looking at an Axis should buy a Savage 334 instead, except that they don't come in 223 unfortunately.

The comment below is correct the Axis feels cheap, floating barrel (that's like most bolt actions rifles between $400-$700). The bolt action is rigid and feels cheaply made

Great barrel's and a great factory trigger this only acu never tried the non ACU triggers

I have a 220 currently and have owned another savage in the past. The trigger is awesome but man that bolt leaves a lot to be desired. I may be spoiled by owning a lot of tikkas and sakos though.

That's also a 220 bolt, the thing is massive and didn't scale too well, a newer 110 and newer axis gen 2 bolt is way nicer I will say

Can confirm, my savage 10T-SR is the most accurate rifle I own and while the trigger aint no Trigger tech, I haven't once thought "ooh that isnt great"... unlike the ruger trigger on my Ruger American Ranch gen 2... I kinda forgot what squish and a heavy trigger felt like on a modern gun, and I gotta find a n importer to bring in a timiney trigger for it because it is not a good trigger

Those 10t are super nice, I love my 110 tactical shoots sub moa for 600 bones can't complain

u/GodsGiftToWrenching Mar 07 '26

Aren't they? I first thought "theres no way that this rifle can shoot good even with 5R rifling at 650" but yeah even at 500 meters (~550 yards) she will do a 5" group. I'm very impressed by it

I love hate my 110.

As a "I don't give a fuck spring bear mud everywhere" gun, it's fucking dope. Always goes bang, basically impossible to destroy unless you're malicious.

It's incredibly boring otherwise with an awful plastic stock made from recycled park benches and the interior of a 1990 Ford Taurus.

Shoots... better than I'd give it credit for, and I've sent a ton of super spicy reloads through it too.

It's killed a few bears. I can't really complain. Much.
