Lipstick on a pig
« on: March 08, 2016, 01:56:34 PM »
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. ;)

No I just slapped it on but bedding sounds like a plan.

Well you have the nicest looking pig around then. Look at it this way, anyone else got a unique peace like you. I think not! But if the pressure of the purists get to you, I'll take it.
