The standard Axis trigger, well there really isn't much you can do with it, other than replace it.It's very easy to tune up and lighten the trigger on the Ruger. I don't have any experience with the Savage triggers.
I've looked both the Savage Axis and Ruger American over pretty good a few years ago. The nod goes to the Ruger American for bedding and trigger for sure, and the accuracy of the American I picked up in 270 is more than acceptable. What I do not like about the Ruger American is the plastic flimsy magazine, how it feeds, serious bolt noise, and rough extracting. I did make the purchase for my G-kid to use in a few years, and most issues I have with it will get cleaned up through my use and a few minutes of my gunsmith's time. If ya got a few extra bucks, I'd probably go Tikka lite compact, or look for a used Rem Model 7.I'm in the market for my son's first hunting rifle. I grew up with Winchester Model 70s and marlin 30-30s. I'm going to get a .243 for him and have been looking at a Ruger American or Savage Axis. I have not handled either one of these models and from what I've gathered the Ruger is advertised as being a very accurate and nice beginner rifle. The savage is also advertised as being a good budget rifle and good for beginners also. Anyone have experience with either?
Thatās fair.Great write up comparison. I would think for a fair comparison you would want to use identically prepared rifles with ammo that is compatible with each.
Or 2 completely stock out of the box rifles.
I would take a stock savage but my guns get beat up and are tools to me. I own bergara tikka and savage. All shoot good one isnāt picky. But I get what people are saying nothing pretty about them just very functional.Great write up comparison.

Question, as I am still green to the Ruger, is the bolt lift when clicking the rifle not āheavy?ā Itās fine on our end when just cycling the bolt, but after pulling the trigger (even on a dry fire), the bolt takes a little extra work.I have a bunch of Ruger American rifles in different calibers. I have never experienced a heavy bolt lift except on an overcharged hand load. The magazines are junk. After a little sanding and feed trim they work their way up to crappy. You have to make sure they fit up tight and don't wiggle. The bullet will crash into the front of the magazine if you don't file the ramp to a taper. Accuracy is in the ammo and the stock . I load my own tailored to each rifle. They all sit in Boyds stocks. You wouldn't want to put them up against the stock Savage or vice versa.
I have seen some S&B ammo that you had to beat the bolt open on either rifle. Some firearms just don't get along with some ammo.
