What’s the difference. I must be missing something but when I was on the savage website, the only difference I saw a note it was a more ergonomic stock. There has to be more than that???

Accu trigger in the Axis II.
The trigger in the Axis is terrible. I ended up putting in a Timney trigger in mine. Mine is a good shooter.

Is the acutrigger worth it?

Would like to shoot father at some point...
I picked up a stainless Savage Axis II rifle, NIB with mounted 3x-9x Leupold scope at a gun show (private sale cash money) while visiting family in Alabama. Caliber is .223 and I use M193 55 grain ball for practice. With Federal XM193, I get 1/2 inch 3 round groups at 100 yards consistently. The .223 should serve you well.Any suggestions on caliber?
Using it for paper at 200 yards. That’s the max at my range. Would like to shoot longer distances at some point...
6.5 Creedmoor. Stuff is expensive, though. .308 is cheaper for sure.Any suggestions on caliber?

At 200 yards anything will shoot good and get boring, from .223 up.Any suggestions on caliber?

Great question. The accutrigger is excellent for all but serious bench work. In a hunting rifle, I doubt you want to go lighter than the adjustment available on the axis IIBumping this thread to ask a question:
Folks have been talking about the $250 Axis deal at Cabelas coupled with the MCARBO kit. Is that better than the AccuTrigger?
I ask because they have the Axis II for only $11 more right now...seems like the better route unless you're in love with the camo stock
Then, do the MCARBO springs raise the Axis trigger to something worthy of "serious bench work"? Or am I misunderstanding your post, and you're saying to just get the AccuTrigger, and enjoy it?Great question. The accutrigger is excellent for all but serious bench work.

Depending on your use I’d say get the accutrigger. I have no experience with the mcarbo
I actually have the accutrigger on the ba10 stealth and it is a bench gun. I was thinking of the axis 2 I had a few years ago and loved the accutrigger in that too.
If you really want to lighten it you can replace the trigger spring with a target trigger spring for about $3. I also have the accutrigger in 2 .22 rifles. One has the target spring and breaks at slightly under a pound. Again, not world class but what is your goal?
Perfect. The two of you have helped me make my mind.I've got 2 Axis I XPs with MCARBO trigger kits installed and a B22 Magnum with the Accutrigger. The MCARBOs are really light. The Accutrigger can't adust down quite that low, but I'd say it's low enough. The Accutrigger does have a blade, which some people dislike.
The Axis II also comes with a Bushnell scope that's probably a step up from the Weavers on the Axis I. I was at the Hudson Cabela's today and the only Axis I they have left is a .243 youth model. The guy I talked with said they only had 17 of them on hand and all sold out yesterday. They're not available on the website either, but Axis IIs are in a few calibers. It seems like the Axis II is the better deal, and may be the only choice given the rebate requires a purchase by next weekend.
Anyone getting light primer strikes?
