I am planning a build using the Axis rifle action.I need to have a bolt face for the WSM cartridge head.Will the standard magnum head that fits the 10-110 series of rifles fit this series as well, or can the standard 06 size head be opened up to that size.This is a push feed action.Thank you!

Re: Savage Axis Rifle
I wouldn't build on an Axis. The bolt heads don't swap from the 10/110's. There are no aftermarket stocks. You can get a better trigger, but not a really good trigger.
Why not start with a Stevens 200? They are completely interchangeable with the 10/110's.

^^^what he said.
If I were you, I'd buy a Stevens 200 or a used 110 before building an Axis/Edge.

Re: Savage Axis Rifle
I have an Axis in .223 and .308. got them each for $250. but I just use them when im testing questionable loads to make sure pressure doesnt get to crazy or it Kabooms. and if it did kaboom, id rather it be in a $250 rifle then 1 of my more expensive ones.
as far as building off of one, i wouldnt. they are cheap and work for just shooting, but if i was going to actually SHOOT either rifle, it would need some major work in the trigger department as well as the stock.
