I've pulled the trigger (pun intended) on getting a Savage Axis in .223 Rem, in a left handed version. I had to order it of course, since everyone knows that no South paw ever walks into a Local Gun Shop and wants to buy something off the rack.
Anyway it should be here by Friday the 1st. Now I need to decide whether to use one of my old scopes, or go for a newer higher power model. This will be my main target and Coyote/Varmint rifle.
As much as I would love to believe that I'm immune to all this panic buying and so on, it did influence my purchasing my new rifle. I've been watching the number of these rifles in stock from the supplier drop, and the cost of the new stock coming in go up, so I decided to bite the bullet (weak pun) and purchase it about three months earlier then I really wanted to.
Hopefully when (and if) this stinking weather breaks here I can get to the range and do a proper range report and evaluation. But, either way I'm pumped about getting the first "New" firearm I've got in probably at least ten years. I hope it's a good one.
