I'm no savage fan but that axis 2 pro stock looks better than lots of others from a ergos standpoint. If it didn't drop at heel at all and the toe line was then correspondingly flatter it would probably be quite good.
I'd try to find a way to get a tikka with the rebate.
I paid $315 for this gun and it shoots at/under 1” with my 140 BT hand loads. Trigger is great, super compact and relatively lightweight. My full setup weights around 7.5# with a pocket knife, 7 bullets and a flashlight in the stock pouch.
Another nod for the Ruger American if you’re buying new. You might could find a used Tikka 6.5.
IMO you can’t go wrong with any of the 3 I listed.
Where is there a swfa 6x42 for $299? You can get them used here for like $400 if you're really quick.
I don't think they've actually made that scope in over a year.
