OVERKILL Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 So, my wife has been bugging me for some time to get her something to plink with. I had originally intended on a Mossberg semi-auto .22 in pink cammo but the order the local shop has in for them has taken literally forever to come in (it has to have been more than six months at this point). She wanted to go out to the gun store after picking the kids up today so we went. They had a Savage Axis in .243 on the shelf, which I thought wasn't the best choice for a beginner rifle, but it was Muddy Girl cammo, which my wife loved. We himmed and hawed over it for a bit and then the guy behind the counter said that it could be had in .223 and went to check availability. He came back and said he couldn't believe it but they actually had one in stock. Out it came and she wanted it so I bought it.Came with a cheap Bushnell scope on it, but it is more than adequate for her to plink 100 yards with and I already have plenty of .223 ammo, which is a bonus.

crinkles Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 What was the damage? How about ammo? Cheapest I can see down here is about 80c a round for Remington UMC cartridges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OVERKILL Posted November 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 It was around $250.00, which is nice and affordable Ammo is pretty cheap, I can get 40 rounds for about $30.00. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtell Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 I've always had good luck with Savage rifles, 110 series and the old 99 lever actions. She should get a lot of good use out of her new rifle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
