    OR the Savage Axis 2
    two top competitors for the best budget hunting rifles
    In this video we compare the Remington 783 in all its facets to the Savage Axis 2XP
    both of these rifles dominate the hunting industry because they are at a price point that everyone can afford and they work.
    Is the 783 the budget hunting rifle you should buy or is it a hard pass? well one thing might push you in one direction or another right away... caliber selection, the Remington 783 currenlty (according to their website doesn't come in 6.5 Creedmoor and no .223) the rem 783 comes in 243win/.308 win/270win/30-06springfeild/300 win mag
    and the savage comes in: 6.5cm/223/243/25-06/270/30-06/308/350 Legend/ 7mm-08Rem

    AXIS II XP
    The redesigned AXIS II XP offers hunters even better out-of-the-box performance at the same affordable price. In addition to improved ergonomics, the package rifle is loaded with features that deliver tack-driving accuracy on every shot, including the user-adjustable AccuTrigger, thread-in headspacing, and a factory-mounted, bore-sighted Bushnell Banner 3-9x40mm scope. The button-rifled barrel is well balanced with the tough composite stock.

    info from Remington's website:
    IT'S NOT DRESSED TO IMPRESS, IT'S DRESSED FOR WORK.
    Custom-grade accuracy is now within reach of virtually every hunter. Building upon expertise that's dominated bolt-action technology for more than 50 years, our engineering team started from a clean drawing board and combined their most advanced, accuracy-enhancing features to create an all-new platform.
    The black synthetic stock is built around a dual pillar bedded platform that free floats the barrel, and contains a high nylon fiber content, which promotes superior strength and rigidity for shot to shot consistency. Also helping deliver those inherently tight groups is a precision button-rifled barrel. For shot control, it's equipped with the crisp new CrossFire™ trigger system that's user adjustable to suit your preferences.
    The 783 features a steel detachable magazine with a steel latch. Standard calibers have a four round capacity and magnum calibers hold three rounds. Like with all Remington bolt actions, expect a lifetime of rock-solid reliability. From the next generation in a legendary bloodline.

    Had a Remi 783 a good while ago, after I transformed into a dependable rifle (less than 1K invested) and used mostly for shooting practice due to a shoulder accident it became one of my favorites of the 308s I owned. When I fist got it I saw a lot of potential so I decided to invest on it. One of the issues I had was that the stock was made out of some kind of plastic, that by itself is an issue, and the OEM magazine was not feeding properly. So I got an MTD stock with their magazines and that took care of those issues! I went ahead and reloaded some rounds for it and I tell you what, that thing shot straight like an arrow! After that initial tuning, in some occasions, I took it to the range just to verify zero and most of the time shot 3 rounds and put it away, it was right there! Since I had some other weapons to shoot I shot those instead, but yeah paid 259 USD at academy sports a while back, and sold it after a few years for 1500 USD, they guy came back from a hunting trip and sent me pictures of the hunt and seemed very happy with the rifle. Sold many others with the same results. I just like getting cheap stuff to work better somehow! Working on a little Savage 64 Precision 22lr ATM and already making changes, issues with feeding again! Savage knows about these issues but still sells the same stuff w/o a fix! Shame on you SAVAGE! Please reply to my email, I'm getting too old waiting on a reply! Had a Marlin 795 22lr and that thing was smoking, and shot straight like an arrow, never has any issues with it and looked sexy with the Boyd's TactiCool stock! 😅🤣😂 good show by the way!👍 AR15 S&W Did a few of those too!,

      On both my Axis and 783, I used JB Weld mixed with a bunch of hard plastic craft beads to fill the voids in the stock forend. Stiffens them right up and cheap. On the 783, I just glued a penny under the follower of the mag between it and the spring to make it feed reliably.

    I have a savage axis xp. I kept it for over a year before I had a chance to take it to the range. Probably 18 months or so. I had some small machining debris around the locking lugs in front of the chamber. (Didn't know at the time) chambered a round and gouged the inside of the chamber. I did a basic clean and grease lube on the bolt before taking it out, but didn't get inside the chamber all too much. I called them about it. They said "just ship it with the address provided and they got it back to me in about 3 weeks. Not bad. Although I did pay for shipping. Took it out finally.. with some cheap hunting 150 grain, I was able to get an average of 1.5 MOA, with winchester ammunition without the accu-trigger and a crappy weaver scope. With federal 150gr soft point cheap blue box, i was able to get 1-1.25 MOA. All shots were 3rd groups taken about 2 minutes apart to keep the barrel cool. Wind was not a factor.
    I have an accu-trigger I was able to get on ebay. I will install that soon. Also a vortex 50mm scope.
    I may also take a Dremel and shave down the sides of the fore grip on the stock around the barrel and pour some epoxy inside to try and stiffen the end of the stock. Hopefully this will help me get tighter groups next time 🤞. Ammo is crazy expensive.

I routinely shoot sub moa with well over 4k rounds. Only thing I've changed is the bolt lift, nikon scope I got on clearance for 50 bucks, and trigger weight reduction kit for 15 bucks through Mcarbo. Mine is a hardwood.

  • @michaelhunt8486
    @michaelhunt8486 8 месяцев назад +2

    There are many reviews out there on the 783 that don't align with your accuracy assessment. Some claim that the 783 can hold its own against some more expensive custom jobs. It also appeared on your video that you had the camera zoomed in more when you fired the 783 on the paper. This would give the illusion of a larger grouping. The 783 borrows some from the savage action, so you would think they would be somewhat similar.

    • @EpikArms
      @EpikArms  8 месяцев назад

      hi Micheal, I can only compare my overall results. and i usually mention how large of groups it get with each rifle so wether or not im zoomed in or not its still just going to represented in inches. also whats important to keep in mind with these rifles, these rifles/ barrels are the cheapest and most mass produced results will vary. for example the mossberg patriot no one seems to get one that group well. mine odly enought was capable of half moa, and a sample size of one really isnt all that indicative of a rifle

    • @michaelhunt8486
      @michaelhunt8486 8 месяцев назад +1

      @EpikArms
      I don't think there has ever been a glaring epidemic of Remington rifles (783 or otherwise) being abnormally produced to the point of enormous accuracy differences. In fact, Remington has been known to produce very accurate rifles. It is my understanding that when they designed the 783, it was their goal to keep production cost low (hence the savage style rceiver) but not sacrifice in the accuracy department. Many of the reviews I have read are reporting varied (but not greatly) results from various factory loads. Many of which are in the 1 inch or less range at 100 yards. With some research or hand loading, they have reported sub MOA groups with the 783's. Anyway, both Savage Axis and Remington 783 are excellent rifles. I think often, though, its a matter of personal preference or perception.

    The best rifle of the two is NOT the whistles and bells, it is that it hits consistantly what you are shooting at. The Target itself will tell you which is the better rifle. does your shots group tightly. Are you able to adjust your point of aim and still hold a tight shot group. The target will tell you where to look for problems. Does your bullets sting or scatter etc etc. Most reviews do not show the target after shooting ....

    A big problem with these two rifles (and others) is the bolt throw angle... the savage axis scrapes the scope and the rem 783 aint pretty either. No one talks about this... It doesnt matter how "smooth" a bolt is when you rip your finger off on the scope and have 1/8 inch clearance. Cycling sucks in these scoped rifles... The winchester XPR and Browning AB3 etc... are worth the money for the bolt angle along.
    Shooting at the range doesn't equate to hunting situations.

Everyone knows these budget rifles main problem concerning accuracy is their “budget” stocks.. but hey, anything to make youtube content right?

  • @gunner4373
    @gunner4373 Год назад +2

    Lots of issues with the 783. The most common repairs I make on them at the shop are trigger issues and the fact that no matter what, at some point, your bold is going to just pull straight out of the action when you rack it. The bolt detention system is flawed and after a couple hundred bolt revolutions it will wear smooth and that bolt is just gonna pull right out without you using the release. Easy fix, but it happens to every single one of them.

    I’d take the 783 any day I will never shoot a savage rifle

    I don't want either one. They both have trigger safeties. Trigger safeties have no place on a rifle.

    You can't go rong with Ether rifle. I like the old savage axis logo back. Not happy so I went and got a 783 Rem 7mm Rem Mag and like it. I'm happy with it.
    Savage is a little bit better. Just 🤏🏽
