My opinion is that savage makes some of the best entry level rifles. But it depends on your definition. If entry levels means $700 then there are lots of other options. If entry level is $350, go savage is my opinion.

My Ruger American Predator shoots pretty good for what I paid for it. I have a heavy Savage that shoots lights out but they are built for two different purposes.

Buy this one and sell the scope.

I'm not a fan of the axis. When I mentioned savage entry level I guess I really meant the model 11.
