Looking at the overall length of the Axis on the Savage website shows all calibers with 22" barrels to be 43 7/8" long.
I would think a 223 or 243 would be a short action and should be shorter than a 270 or 30-06 ?
Is thee information incorrect .
Thanks, Jed
Edit on 9/24,
I bought a new 243 Axis and it is a long action, I think its a cost saving feature as all calibers that are available have the same bolt and configuration.
