[@thatmichiganguy5726]

I appreciate the review...thank you. Just bought this gun but haven't shot it yet. Happy hunting Bud.

[@RedBeardsSurvival]

The Bushnell scope broke the first time I put a round through it. So I just got a replacement today. Thank you for watching and the comment!!!

[@lukuswilliams1233]

Thinking about buying one this weekend... thank you for the video

[@RedBeardsSurvival]

You are welcome. All I have to say is to think about buying a different scope. Thank you for watching

[@lukuswilliams1233]

@@RedBeardsSurvival will do! Appreciate it!

[@Hill_Billy_Without_A_Hill]

Depends on price. If you are paying over $400 for one, Id look at gen 1 Ruger American Rifles, they are a tad better. IF you are paying more than 450 range, Id look at Howa. Get the best built rifle for your money. IF ok with a 308. 243, or 6.5 Creedmoor, you may also check the Stevens 334. It is getting good reports, and am seeing some pretty smoking deals at this time on those, and they are a bit better made than the Axis. Rem 783 is another good shooting option. If you are paying $450-$500 get the Howa. Steer away from Mossberg patriot/atr rifles, they are made like garbage.

Well here's hoping that I don't eat my words. Back in December of 2018 I bought one at a Walmart for just under $400 I think $370 or thereabouts. Boyd's stock, rosewood finish. She's a beauty and I have not seen any other like it since then. Had a weaver scope on it it was okay. But now I have a Vortex 4x12 on it it's a dream rifle. And I put a very nice leather sling on it, purchased from Academy.

[@RedBeardsSurvival]

How do you like that Vortex? I was thinking abut getting one. Thank you for watching

[@philburns9049]

Very much ! It's the basic, Ridgeline ? Timberline ? Not looking right at it, but it is 4x12. If a guy wanted to go up a step, (higher dollar) I feel it would really carry that .30-06 round quite a ways out.

[@RedBeardsSurvival]

Awesome thanks

[@Burkholder1994]

When I got mine, the sight was 2 feet left at 100 yards. Took my spotter and I a few to figure out where the shots were hitting to start with. Once I got it dialed, it's such a nice shooter.

[@RedBeardsSurvival]

@Burkholder1994 yea, I used a laser sight for mine, and it was off bad, not that bad, but it was off, lol. Thank you for watching and the comment!!!

[@Burkholder1994]

@@RedBeardsSurvival yeah I didn't have a laser sight, was up in the mt. with my buddy and didn't think it would be that off out of the box lol.

[@RedBeardsSurvival]

@@Burkholder1994 hahaha yeah that's what we all think. They just bolted that shit on 😆

[@Burkholder1994]

@@RedBeardsSurvival when I worked behind the gun counter of a local chain, a manufacturer sent a rifle in with a scope mounted upside down. Lol

[@RedBeardsSurvival]

@Burkholder1994 That's really not hard to imagine anymore to be honest

[@Sir-816]

What bipod, sling and stock pouch do you have if you don’t mind sharing…set up looks pretty clean and purchasing my rifle this week from sportsman’s!

[@Sir-816]

Also I saw your update comment on the scope what did ya upgrade to? Looking at vortex diamondback. Will be my first season coming up so not looking to break the bank. but would like something reliable

[@RedBeardsSurvival]

@Sir-816 I honestly just bought the Traditions 3-9x40 Illuminated. It worked great

[@Sir-816]

okay, do you remember what sling and bipod? or possibly where ya purchased them

[@RedBeardsSurvival]

@Sir-816 I got everything from Amazon. Give me a few, and I'll post it on the description with links

[@lucaslong9881]

Yeah I’m in the same boat. Trying to run some of the same accessories as @redbeardssurvival

[@JoseMora-wc5zz]

Hey man, let me know where you purchased the Bipod and Sling if you can. I got the exact same rifle. It looks quite nice. Awesome video brother.

[@RedBeardsSurvival]

I got everything off of Amazon.

[@tysonvoll1]

Just bought one at sportsman's Warehouse black Friday deals 349. With the scope

[@RedBeardsSurvival]

That's where I got mine. Hopefully, your scope will last longer than the one I had, lol. But I'll be heading out this weekend for the last weekend for modern gun hunting. Thank you for watching!!!

[@POTFULLOFGREEN]

How’s the scope?

[@RedBeardsSurvival]

This is my own personal opinion. The scope I had was great for the first 6 shots, the inside shattered. Could that have been a problem from factory 100% I really like the dawn and dusk idea though. Thank you for watching

[@Dfalo18]

I have the same rifle in Australia 😅 there $1400 bucks on special! Such a price difference 😂 .

[@RedBeardsSurvival]

That is crazy to hear. $1400 is way too much for this weapon, in my opinion. You said that was with a special price. Also, wow. Thank you for watching

[@TheWarriorsMind]

I can truly say "it is a piece of junk." Take the stock off and look at the trigger system and see if they drilled into the barrel threads. Maybe the drilling into the treads was a mistake from the company. ( I take off my barrels to cerokote them. ) Dont listen to backfire tv when it comes to a remington 783 as a budget rifle. They are built like a tank and the trigger is enclosed. Also, it will take savage barrels. You can order them online and worth it.

[@RedBeardsSurvival]

I'll look into that, thanks for watching.

[@TheWarriorsMind]

I am just pissed. I like to take off my barrels and by them drilling into the threads, I cant tale off the barrel nut. Plus, there was little pieces of steel everywhere.

[@milekh6681]

@@TheWarriorsMinddon’t expect quality at 399 price point lmfao

[@Hill_Billy_Without_A_Hill]

And then there was the Stevens 334. Seeing $370 to $395 range in wood stock, and even cheaper than that in synthetic. They seem to be shooters looks like, other than a heavy trigger. The Axis has mostly been a turn off for me as well, but Its still better than a Mossberg Patriot/ATR. Ruger American and Howa way better choices, and Rem 783. @@milekh6681
