dude rolled right out of bed and made a video.

Looks like the Ancient Aliens dude

🤣🤣🤣 i didnt even notice his hair until i read this comment!
Efficient!
🤣🤣🤣
I’ve had all three. For the money especially with a rebate, Savage is best value. All three will outshoot most shooters ability.
Well said.
I had a savage once, its incredible what you'll find at the local dump 😂
Savage make the only left-handed bolt guns at a cheap price that are as quality and as accurate as stuff twice the price.
And for that, they have my dollar.
Lefties stand tall. It's hard to find a left handed rifle at an affordable price. I'll take a closer look at Savage.
Chris Pieper fuck left, a normal rifle is what caters to G’s
I’m a leftie but just buy right handed. Cheaper and easier to sell.
Just don't take it out in the rain,lol!
Ruger American can be had lefty.
Your videos are always so informative and helpful. You have a keen sense of which details are important and how each brand varies with respect to those details. Thanks.
The Ruger is ridiculously accurate... especially for that kind of price
I got the 308 model and it’s reliable and accurate as you can want. Ruger makes good firearms especially rifles.
Them there 308 Ruger American rifles will show you how good you are with 180 gr power points from Winchester. Mine is just killing it with these.
All these rifles will shoot just fine for deer hunting. But of the 3 we've gotten best accuracy from the Savage. In fact, my son's older Savage "Edge" 30-6 is the most accurate rifle in my home, out of about 15 more expensive deer rifles.
I recently bought a Ruger American 30.06 rifle like the one you showed in this video. The gun shop also had a Savage version as well, but I'm the sort of person who usually always picks the firearm that saves me a few bucks. Looking back now kind of I wished I'd went for the Savage rifle, but honestly I'm still satisfied with the Ruger.
appreciate you were able to put the different models across Brand, and also across model ranges/level.
After sighting in at 60 feet, I could easily cover 5 shots with a nickel th-cam.com/users/postUgkxQt2uORDRfFOVSrO4idv4B90ThT6EOnEL ! Truly a pleasure to shoot! Scope was easy to adjust for eye relief. Only problem the varmints must have seen it delivered lol!Update: So impressed with shot groups at 30 yards I purchased a Hammers 3×9 with adjustable Objective scope! Now a true nail driver!
I recently purchased an accutrigger axis and I have had an American 17hmr for over two years. Not a joke but they are both capable of .5 moa groups with factory ammo. I was always hesitant about guns like this but I am not hesitant to buy savages and have always loved all my Rugers
You did a great job explaining these bolt action rifles.... Thanks for making Vid👍
Cool video. I am lucky enough to own a Marlin xl7 in .270 that was produced in North Haven before Remington took them over. That was the best budget gun imo.
We bought the Savage 30.06 for my Son. We look at the Ruger 1st and found it to be a "cheaper" feeling gun. The main thing is he loves the rifle and is in Osage Co. hunting deer. We like the Savage and would recommend it.
They're all "cheap feeling" guns lol. I hunt with a Ruger American but simply because it does the job. I also have a few model 70s which are in a class of their own. These cheap budget guns are really good tools but that's about it. None of them are quality lifelong heirloom type guns and never will be but they do serve a purpose.
@James clark the savage axis the ruger American the Rem 770 783 and the Mossbergs all feel like junk compared to these entry level rifles. The Howa 1500 WBY Vanguard TC Venture or Icon. Spend a few dollars more and get a Savage model 10 or 11 or a 110
Really appreciate the time and effort into this video. Helped me make a much better and informed decision.
Savage axis II is what I have with adjustable accu trigger and I think it performs really good out of the box. The bolt action is very reliable and cycles great every time, however it has too much play and it’s not the smoothest. Out of this 3, I’ll go with Savage. When I purchased mine it also came with already mounted scope.
There is a kit to lighten bolt lift and also glades armory makes an aftermarket bolt handle that is much longer. I ordered both before I even shot the gun. But I had already tried the glades armory bolt handle on my TC venture and it make a huge difference.
Ur channel kinda reminds me of forgotten weapons except that its done in a gunshop with modern rifles.
One thing to consider is service after the sale. When things go wrong who will take care of you better. I know from experience that Ruger will take care of you no matter what. Their service is one of the best in the industry. I've never used Savage yet so I can't say anything from a personal standpoint but I haven't heard anything bad about them from anyone. Remington on the other hand has universally been considered the worst for at least two decades. Having examined several new Savage rifles I can say that the quality appears first class. My personal opinion is a toss up between Ruger or Savage and buy whatever you think suits your eye appeal and needs.
The most informative video i have ever seen to date....SUPERB JOB
Except how do they shoot ?
Great video , I think I'm going to be going with the Ruger American in 762x39
very thorough. nice work on the vid.
The crisp sounds opening these cardboard boxs and unwrapping the rifles make is music to my ears.
I shot a Remington 700 BDL 26 inch barrel in the 2506 caliber for years. Killed lots of deer and ground hogs at long range. I loved it. You dont hear a lot about the 2506 caliber anymore.
Just got one. Love it! Brother talked me into the caliber, really awesome ballistics
Some years ago I bought the (at that time) cheaper version of the Savage Model 10/110, the Stevens Model 200 in .223 Remington. Crappy stock that I replaced with a Boyd's laminate stock. This rifle was extremely accurate with premium target ammo but for some reason that I can't remember now, I wanted to convert it to a larger caliber. I replaced the barrel, bolt head and magazine components for .243 Winchester Used a heavy target barrel. Good shooter but I wasn't satisfied so I replaced the barrel again with one in .308 Winchester. Put a "Rifle Basix" trigger in and a steel trigger guard. Did some more modifications to numerous to list here. Suffice it to say, I am very happy with the final rifle.
You really know your products and speak quickly about their details. Good job.
Cherokee44 Oklahoma he was wrong sps stands for special purpose synthetic doesn’t really know his stuff
I got a 700 adl 30-06 last Christmas & put in in the Magpul Hunter 700 stock, LOVE that gun!! The other day my Ruger American Predator Go Wild in 6.5 CM came in, didn’t shoot it yet but it looks great & feels nice right out of the box, just thought it was a cool coincidence
Ive got the Axis and by far like it better than the Ruger or the Remington that my friends have but I also just recently purchased the TC Compass and love it over all of them.
Great video, thx. This is probably the best unboxing video I’ve watched. Most unboxing videos are boring and I rarely watch in its entirety. This video had my attention beginning to end. Guess I’m prejudice preferring Savage or their Stevens line.
Savage axis is a great rifle. The action is smooth and shoots great. The ruger has a cold hammer barrel which is better than both, and the barrel is 90% of what matters in accuracy. Id go with the axis, then the ruger.
I've looked at and handled the Ruger and the Savage extensively mainly because at the price point and calibers that I might consider (for Elk & Muleys) they are the only ones that are offered in LH. Overall the Ruger is the winner IMO. I think some commenter's perception that it feels "cheap" is because it is a pretty light gun; which is fine with me, since I do most of my big-game hunting between 8,000 & 12,000 feet above sea level. The fit, finish and operation is superior to the Savage, particularly the bolt design and feel, and the bedding system in the stock, which is very solid. The cheapest 700 to meet my needs is going to be well over $200.00 more than Ruger (which can be found in the mid- $300's) ...and as legendary as the 700 action is; that 3-lug Ruger bolt/receiver is nothing to scoff at. It's smooth and solid. Mine should be here any day now.
I'd rather spend extra and have one great rifle. You can only shoot one rifle at a time.. These are ugly.
Thanks for the reviews,
Thanks for the video. Very professional.
Great video sir! Thanks for the info!
axis for sure, compared to the Remington. have both and way prefer my axis
Thank you very much for the great work.
Nicely done Chris. Thanks
Thanks for your feedback and thanks for watching!
Love your videos and love your store even more, always a pleasure doing business with you. Thank you for my new ruger .308!!
Hey thanks for the note! Thanks for coming in and for all of your continued support. I really appreciate your business!
Excellent video. You earned yourself a subscriber
Everyone is on a budget. (11:09) That's why we're looking at this video, trying to find the best cheap gun...
A co worker has a Savage Axis 30-06 he is wanting to sell me on the cheap side of things. I think it’s only been fired once, if at all. After watching this video, I think I will buy it off him.
the ruger is by far my favorite
yeah comes in a cardboard box and plastic sleeve
My friend had a Ruger Hawkeye 308 it was a good gun but one day me and shot his Ruger 308 and my Remington 700 Walnut stock ADL 270 and the Remington grouped much better at 100 and 200 yards and the trigger pull was much smoother. After shooting my Remington he traded his Ruger for Remington 700 308. just like my gun and he loves it. I've know a lot of people that had trouble with how some of there Rugers group. Which I've also herd people complain about the new Remingtons without the free floating barrels that they don't group like the old 700's with the floating barrels. I also have a Savage Axis in 223. and for the price it's a good gun the trigger pull isn't good as the Remington but I'm old school and don't like the new Accu-trigger and it's a value rifle. I've not shot the Ruger American so I hafta shoot one.
Shoot a Howa 1500 and you will change your mind
@@jonsmith919 If im going to buy a gun made in Japan ill buy a weatherby
@@DeezCheez69 weatherby vanguard is made by howa. Fyi.
I have a Ruger American in 7mm-08. It's very accurate and that bolt action is so freaking smooth!
Great job! Thanks for all your hard work.
Great review. Thank you so much
Thanks for watching and for commenting!
I have rem 700s and Ruger m77 mk2 and savage 110s and 16 as well as browning abolt, the savage rifles of 10/110 12 16/116 etc are the most accurate out of box rifles period !
Savage is on average always more accurate than the competition.
thanks for your time an interesting information . ATB
Thanks for watching and commenting :)
My Ruger American cycles like champ, no feeding issues with the mag
Ben Ladik you’re one of the lucky ones
The ruger American also comes in .300 win mag and .338 win mag
The T/C Icon and Venture are goid too so we're the Marlin bolt actions they made for a short time. Charter Arms made an awesome rifle that was cheap Field King but is amazingly accurate I buy every used one I can find. Another rifle - that you find in used guns that is really good is the Interarms Mark V
If Zastava gets their import act fully together the fine mausers they imported under the Interarms then Remington then Charles Daly, etc labels will be available again.
My Ruger American in 308 is exceptionaly accurate. I'm very happy with sub- minute groups, last 3 shot group @ 200 yds was only 1.28.
dude, great video, lots of info!
Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching!
Great job! Thank you Sir 👍💯
I use a ruger American rifle, and it is the most reliable gun I own and it’s real light cause the synthetic stock. I really recommend the rifle!
Plastic trigger guard tho . Cheaply made I have a brand new M77 Hawkeye in 300 win mag my guns a lot better than yours dude
His gun can do what yours does but it costs less, so plastic trigger guard doesn't effect how it shoots. Magpul offers a tactical solution in a stock if that is an issue. Cant beat the Ruger action in either the RA or the Hawkeye.
David Bader I had a Ruger American in 308 when they first came out and I was up in the mountains in Colorado and it was cold the plastic trigger guard got Brittle and cracked no joke on god ever since I’ve always told people don’t buy those things .... you’ll learn trust me
David Bader Save your money buy a Hawkeye or buy a Remington 700 adl which for the same price has a stainless steel trigger guard
足立あきら I’m taking the action out of mine and putting it in a magpul stock. Well worth it
great review thanks!!
Thanks for watching!
I have the savage arms 1-11, 30-06. Absolutely love it. Use it as my hunting rifle. You cant go wrong with savage.
That dadgum 308 of mine surely isn't a one in a million, but I'm here in tell you that Ruger American is still punching out incredible groups are 300 meters. If you want a genuine tack driving deer and hog rifle, look no further, just be sure to use the Winchester 180 power points, This is a light, exceptionally accurate rifle with a 22 in. barrel, and you won't have to chase em down, I can guarantee you of that with the 180 Winchester power points.
Excellent video!
this was very helpful
good MORNING Chris, looks like you just got out of bed,lol , I like your vids , very detailed info.
Go for Ruger I got one and it's deadly every shot
you get the most out of your money with the American
Military background. I love ruger. During and after my OEF OIF deployments I poured over tons of forums, reviews, etc etc and had experience with all 3 companies. No personal negative experiences with any of these brands but i knew Remington was suffering badly from quality control issues and had been for about a decade. Savage was on the upstroke. I had a good friend that was USMC Recon Sniper. He recommended savage and my brother had bought a savage the year prior. Long story short i got the savage 10 trophy hunter xp and have zero regrets. Just got my wife an axis for Christmas. Not sure if Remington has fixed their problems but I love my Savage. Ruger has always been very respectable. Bottom line the only one of these 3 I would have any concerns with is the Remington
I have the remington 700 in 308 and couldn't be happier.
neither can I
I just can't quit bragging about my 308 Ruger American. I shoot 180 gr. Winchester power- points and all I've done is lighten the trigger and put a vortex crossfire scope on it. That gun has shot 3 rounds into a cloverleaf, or a single jagged hole at 109 yds or 100 meters and I ain't kidding either. Exceptional accuracy with this ammo!
I painted my 700, it turns out that the only good thing about the factory matte finish is that it takes paint really well.
Excellent Video
Go 308-SAVAGE AXIS 2....straight out the box!!!!! 3 Deer 3 shots. All different days. One at about 40 yards....one at about 50 in the woods...and one at about 115 on a slightly windy day....im SO IMPRESSED! Hit dead on! Dropped all 3 where they stood
I have the Ruger in .308 and Savage in .270. The magazine for my Ruger has feed issues, it's like the spring is too week. Sometimes when I try to bolt a round, the next one doesn't push up high enough to be caught. The magazine installation on the Axis is clunky. I much prefer the Ruger overall over the Axis. Though both guns are great for the money, can't go wrong with either one.
If you call Ruger you can buy a conversion kit for AI mags. Cost me $25.95, $19.95 for the kit and $6 for shipping. Well worth it.
I have both the Ruger American in 243 Rem and the Savage Axis in 223 Rem and they are both great for the money. I put a Mag Pul Hunter stock on the Ruger and Wow what a change in comfort and shootability. I als put better and longer bolt handles on both guns so I could charge the guns easier. All together they are both worth the money.
That's. 243 Win.
I have a Savage Axis and did several videos with it on my channel. I had issues with the extractor out of the box. Replaced that. If anyone buys this gun, they HAVE to work on the trigger or replace it: no doubt about that! The magazine wiggles a bit when inserted. The bolt has wiggle when fully extended. Not a huge deal for a budget gun but those get better as you buy a "better" gun. The trigger guard is plastic. I didn't get a heavy barrel but if you range shoot often it's worth it. The stock is not great. If you use a tripod, it's best to replace. My best groups were 1.5 MOA at 100 yds. I haven't replaced the stock yet, but I might be doing so soon and seeing if that tightens groups. After all of that plus your labor, I'm not sure it's a scorching hot deal, but I can see why it's a popular choice.
Very beautiful rifle, greetings from Indonesia my brother
I have been using a Remington Model 700 30-.06 for over a decade. It has been deadly accurate, and just this year I dropped the biggest buck of my life with it. That being said, it is a heavy rifle to pack. I don't know if it's just because of how old it is, but compared to other rifles I own, it's just a heavy gun. We picked up a Savage Axis XP 7mm-.08 for the wife a couple years ago, and the weight difference is ridiculous. Her rifle as also been just as accurate, and she can easily pack it on long hikes in and out of the back country. As much as I love my Remington, I am highly considering replacing it with a Savage.
My God man! Heresy! Lol.
J/k. It has gotten crazy with the availability of cheap, light, and accurate bolt guns. If yall are hunting where a 7mm-08 is a good call, I wouldn't blame you for ditching the old Rem. 30-06 for a lighter rifle. DO NOT get rid of that model 700. These new guns are awesome for price and performance.
They are however, throw aways. Just like cars nowadays. They are not built for longevity. They are built to be awesome today, but trash tomorrow.
Even compared to the new model 700s. Your guns hardened components and overall quality will always make a gunsmith smile, and has the potential to be a heirloom gun. Even if you don't have kids, you can teach a person how to hunt with that gun, and long after you are gone.....that gun will uphold your legacy far into the future. I have safe queens that come out to teach to young ones. I don't even really hunt much anymore. But I have guns that carry the stories and legacy of men that died long ago. Men that I never met, that lived and died wayyyy before my time; they still live on in the Great firearms that I own.
I know friends that are the same. My buddy Clint knows very little about his Grandfather. But...the probably embellished exploits of his great uncle on his moms side live on in detail through a Rem. 870 pump gun, a Steven's bolt .22, and a winchester lever action .30-30. NONE of these guns have ever been lackluster in any way while I was present.
The daily use of these tools while we were younger, would be considered "torture test" on TH-cam today.
Now that we are older, we hold more reverence for these treasures from the past.
I still had it out with my ex-wife, when she found out that my 10yr old was released into the wild with 500 rnds of .22 lr, and my grandads old winchester. And she was encouraged to come and grab the Steven's/savage mod. 311 20guage. SxS and some shells when there was an itch that .22 couldn't scratch. My daughter couldn't kill a squirrel, but she has been instilled with pride in her heritage, and understands that those of us that would kill for, expect her to do the same in our absence.
She is so comfortable with those tools, and their capabilities, that she is very well suited to defending herself. There is no fear recoil or noise. And she knows that even if she is alone, family is there with those guns. I have no worries about her hesitation if it is that kind of situation.
I have all three , but I’ve taken more deer n feral hogs with my savage rifles than the rest of them , Savage is a savage in the field n at long distance shots too ,,,,
I have not had much luck with Remingtons, at all. The Savages and Rugers are another story. I have a Ruger Ranch in 450 Bushmaster and a Savage Axis in 270 I bought used for $125 and both shoot well above their class. The Ruger was Awesome right out of the box. I mounted a 2x7 Riton Primal scope on it and at 100 yards it just shoots a big ragged hole with those 45 cal bullets. The Savage had been neglected and required a good cleanup and I added a Pentax 2.5x10 scope on it. I added a $20 M*Carbo trigger kit for a crisp 2.5 pound trigger and that rifle shoots sub moa groups with my handloads as long as I do my part. I would also like to add the T/C Compass to your list, I have one in 7mm/08 with a Vortex 3x9 Crossfire scope on it and again it shoots better than I can producing groups on par with rifles costing 3 to 4 times as much. All are very smooth and fit and finish aren't bad either. Great rifles in all.
The ADL does have an adjustable trigger. I have two of them. I hunt regularly, and rust has never been an issue. I did take a Dremel to the stock to free float it until I replaced them with Magpul Hunter 700 stocks... Great stocks btw. Even before I swapped the stocks out they were very accurate. With the Magpul stock it's much better.
I just bought a Ruger Predator American in 6.5 Creedmoor last week.
Me too.. Have yet to shoot it but mounted a scope and shall fire it soon
Good vid but SPS stands for special purpose synthetic
This thing is amazing!
I have an axis in .308 it’s not a bad rifle. I put a Boyd’s stock on it , bedded and floated it shoots very nice now.
My 700 in 223 had the most suckiest trigger pool imaginable. Junk in order to get it down to a manageable trigger pull it took out all the play.
The scope that comes on the 700 might work good for the .243 but the 7mm mag I bought shattered the scope after 8 shots 😂😂
Natchez usually has decent prices on decent optics.
My Rem 700 SPS has a 26 inch heavy barrel in one 1:12 barrel. I wish it had a tighter twist, I would like to use 180 grain bullets sometime.
You should mention what caliber your 26" is ??
If I were to chose any rifle in the 30.06 caliber it would be an M1 Garand. 8 round mag capacity and super accurate and durable action. Yep a WWII weapon still kicks modern weapons asses.
Any thoughts on the best caliber to get for fun accuracy shooting at 100-200 yards?
Great video! Is that the 22" or 24 " barrel?
I would consider the Remington 783 the entry level rifle for Remington. I own the Remington 700 BDL with an aftermarket chassis system and I can get 2 inch groups at 300 yrds with this rifle.also the 700 ADL does not have the x mark pro trigger it is the regular x mark.... the pro has an allen key adjustment screw at the top of the trigger
Indiana shout out 🇺🇸👊
Thank you for review. Now go back to bed.
He did comb his hair with a tennis shoe
Haha
@MarksmanTV..........you are the BOSS....Thank you for this informative video.
Hey thanks for the comment! I really appreciate you watching!
Shouldn’t the Remington model be a 783 for this comparison?
I agree, but today's base model 700 is as cheesy as the others so it really didn't matter. These are not legacy guns, just adequate adequate hunting/range rifles for occasional use and would be suicidal to depend on against dangerous game. The Savage Axis is just an economy Model 10 and is by far the best out of the group. If so inclined, the Axis II has a better trigger and the Accu-stock.
I have seen 2 savage axis at shooting range ,beside me while I was there. One was brand new. The firing mechanism would not work. The other ,bullet would not extract out of barrel. Factory ammo. Not impressed.
@@samrumade9429 Using steel cased ammo?
Ruger 30-06 shooting 150 grain on target 800yd
The first thing I noticed was that Mossberg is absent.
Tom n because mossberg is terrible
James clark I’m not saying one rifle in the video is good... I used to buy rifles like these and if I were to buy one it would be the ruger American. I’ve bought mossberg a few times can’t say I ever will, I’d rather spend that money on an older mauser sporter that is made with quality. If you want to buy mossberg go for it my opinion mossberg is junk, watches other reviews where the gun couldn’t even shoot 3 moa with good factory ammo..
arborcidal maniac What are you calling bs on? I didn’t make a statement just my personal opinion on mossberg, which is shit!
Mossberg rifles are not great. Shotgun sure, rifle no.
Good info
I have axis shoots great love it
I'm surprise you don't mention the Mossberg in your comparisons. I enjoy the Ruger and the Mossberg MVP LC. Shoot lots and stay safe.
Remington is a much higher quality than mossberg
I have a savage axis in 7mm 08 and I love it. I personally love savage
Great comparison of 3 similar rifles that a lot of people are eager to know about. Thanks, I'm heading out to Wally World to pick one up!
Hey thanks for the comment and for watching! I hope you enjoy your new rifle!
Just killed a hog with a buddies Remington 700 chambered in .270 win and now I want one
Be cautious of your purchase,in my opinion, they have been sued for the safety failure on these 700 models.
Don't believe anything MSNBC says
FWIW- Ive used a lightweight Savage 110 .30-06 for 50-years as my mountain rifle. It has a fancy custom thumbhole stock, is easy to carry, has always shot very accurately, and I like its removable magazine. The only rifles I like more is my dad's Winchester Mod 70 or any super strong Weatherby Mk V (used to work there years ago... knew Roy).
I think I’m gonna get the savage axis in 223 then put a Timney trigger in and a bloyd stock
Nice!!!
I appreciate the unboxing portion of the video. I'd been staring at my new rifle's box for days now trying to figure out how to open it. Now that I got it out of the box, which end do the bullets go in?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I've never understood why someone would use the term "unboxing" to refer to them opening a box, let alone the concept recording yourself opening a box to begin with. Weird
I bought a Remington ADL 30-06. I didn’t like that the ruger and savage had a plastic magazine, it felt cheap and easily breakable
