For a long time I have been toying with different bolt lift kits and I have tried just about every type out there. Then a customer showed me his idea and I like it. Made some improvements and the results so far have been very good. What makes it better and different? It is the only kit that works with Those savages that have the cocking indicator.

Wouldn't mind a better handle. I've seen a bit on the extractor, but not that concerned with that. Primarily looking for something to improve how smooth it opens and closes as well as how it extracts from the chamber, since it basically doesn't now. Not sure I can really fix the extraction issue unless it somehow isn't clearing the lugs for some reason. But that's another question. You can cut the bolt knob off and thread it for a better one, I have done several. Polish all the metal on metal contact points without taking material off. You can also stone the raceways for the bolt to ride on. I never understood why they used the Axis platform for a "Precision" rifle package It can still be accurate as hell, but refinement will be lacking.

What makes it better and different? Took the bolt out and disassembled it to find that I have the 1 piece firing pin with the 2 piece spring.

I had handled other Savage bolts recently, as well as a variety of new and used rifles from Mossberg to CZ. Obviously some were better than others, but none were as stiff as my Axis all chambered in This is all without any ammunition in any of the rifles.

I think the Axis is nifty, but it is the antithesis of the rifles I normally shoot. The Axis lacks the refined construction and high end parts of a custom rifle, but it allows new shooters to enter the sport for a reasonable amount of money. The rifle, as configured with a Harris bipod and Leupold Mark 4 for initial testing is shown above. As noted in my review , the factory trigger and stock needed help. Timney provided an excellent aftermarket trigger that reduced the rough 7 pound 6. Used in the final stages of the initial review , the trigger greatly improved the firing characteristics of the rifle. Fixing the stock and magazine system required a little more thought.

This bolt lift kit made a huge difference. I highly recommend this as a cheap, easy way to make your Axis action cycle much more easily. Also the thrust bearing take friction down to near zero compared to all the other kits that still have friction. Considering options for what to do to upgrade my Axis 2 Precision. Rated 5 out of 5.

Still far from a light bolt lift but now I can stay on target and run the action. The worst group I shot was under an inch at yards. Took the bolt out and disassembled it to find that I have the 1 piece firing pin with the 2 piece spring. Rated 5. Wondering which kit to use? Nice improvement though I think a longer bolt handle will help as well. No big deal, a quick search on YT found a short and to the point video. Or linear? What makes it better and different? A group of 6, factory ammo, at just under. This kit makes the bolt cycle MUCH easier! Add a review Cancel reply Your email address will not be published. Bookmarks Bookmarks Digg del.
