Buy recommendations Upgrading target rifle
I’m looking for some recommendations I currently have a savage axis in .308win it’s in a mdt field stock. Had an older tasco 4-16 scope. It works it great but I want something different/better/tacticool. I’m considering 3 options.
I plan on upgrading to an Arken epl4 6-25x50 scope regardless of what I do
Option 1 buy a new axis 2 with the fluted and treaded barrel so I can add a brake and what not then swap my feild stock out and list the old axis to recoupe some
Option 2 utas straight pull .308
Option 3 (leaning this way, just most expensive by far) savage 110 precision also in .308
I do mostly bench shooting and have targets currently out to 500 yards. I think the 110 is my best option. The axis2 would by far be the cheapest upgrade and the utas just looks cool and they claim to be accurate plus I like straight pulls. Is there something else I should be looking at? I’d like to stay under/around that 2k and only consider .308 as I have a good stock of ammo and I grew up shooting with that. I like it okay.

If you are not going custom, get the t3x target, there is way more aftermarket support in Tikka than Savage 110, consider the savage is you are buying the chassis they give you the barreled action for free.
