Today I picked up a Savage axis in 6.5 creedmoor. It belonged to a buddy of mine that purchased it some time ago for a nephew to use for hunting. Whatever happened it never got off the ground. He has been sitting on it for a few years never fired and the only reason it got a scope was because I told him I didn't want it if it wasn't range ready.
I picked it up for really next to nothing. Since it was almost free I have been thinking it could use some upgrades. My plans are to use it as range toy. Maybe some coyote hunting eventually. My local range will have me shooting at a max of 700 yards. Most likely 300-500 yards on average.
Never have shot this yet my biggest complaints are it feels cheap. Rightly so I have very minimal money into this so far. The scope is small and is probably garbage (Weaver 3x9 40 I think). Biggest complaint is the trigger. Feels heavy and sloppy to me.
I'm not really complaining for what I paid for it. I figured the low price tag would allow me to make some upgrades with out feeling like I'm throwing too much money into something that was already over priced to begin with.
Without actually shooting it yet I feel like it needs a little help. Looking for some advice on how to make me feel like I want to use it every weekend.
