Much better than oem - Boyds Hardwood Gunstocks Pro Varmint Savage Axis Detachable Box Mag Short Action Factory Barrel Channel Stock

The bottom line was that the OEM Savage Axis stock was as cheap as they come, so it wasn't hard to do better. I like this stock, but I have some premium aftermarket stocks on my primary hunting rifles and they far exceed this Boyd's stock. HOWEVER, I did not need an $800+ carbon fiber stock on an action that didn't even cost that much. This Boyd's stock was the right choice, and not nearly as heavy as the Magpul stocks for the Savage Axis. This Boyd's stock takes some adjustment each time I remove the barreled action for upgrades or adjustment, but as long as you know this going in, all is good. Optics Planet has this stock at a great price-point, I added this, a Timney trigger, some Leupold glass and new rings and this little Savage Axis is ready for deer and antelope harvesting. I also went back to Boyd's for the metal trigger guard and magazine catch.
