We've all heard the old saying.
You can put lipstick on a pig but it's still a pig.
I guess the same can be said about a Savage axis.
You can put a Boyds stock on an axis but it's still an axis.
But it's a darn good looking axis and it shoots great too.Anyways some of you purists may think this is a waste of money but I'm very happy with this rig.
