Title: Axis barrel swap
Post by: twoshooter on February 09, 2013, 12:40:12 PM

If I had an Axis 22/250, new, how hard is swapping barrels? I would like a 250 Savage but not the pricetag for the 16 FVSS or whatever that model is. Where would be the est place to find a 250 savage barrel??

They are currently out of stock, but they are as cheap as you can get them

If you are in a bigger hurry, then you can order them direct from ER Shaw http://www.ershawbarrels.com/ (http://www.ershawbarrels.com/) or several other barrel makers. Here are a few more

 Be prepared to wait several months for any order to be filled. I currently have a large shank 222 Remington barrel on order and it has been 6 months and not sure when I will get it.

Good Shooting and Good Luck

In this climate, if you can locate the rifle in the cailber you want......buy it..........everyone is so far behind it may take forever to get a barrel.

can the shaw or any other barrel go on the axis? isnt there something about the lug which is why no manufactures have come out with wood replacement stocks? I would love a .250 and if it can be done will be looking to get one as well.

Not hard at all, and the Axis/Edge shares the same barrels as the standard shank 110/10 series Savage rifles, so an ER Shaw or any other will fit just fine.   You will just need a barrel nut wrench, and either an action wrench or barrel vise and go/no go gauges.  Plenty of info and youtube videos to get you there.
