The Savage Axis XP but. If you have the resources to do so, spend the extra $75 and buy the Savage 110/10, especially if you are buying a short action caliber (.243, .308, 7mm-08) because the Axis is built on a long action only. Yes you can buy an Axis in .243 but it will have the bolt throw of a .270 or .30-06. The action is not as smooth as the 10/110 either. My wife shoots a Savage Model 10 in .243 and the gun shoots 1/2" groups at 100 yards. A lot of this is due to the better, pillar bedded stock you get with the Model 10 and at the time I bought hers the AccuTrigger was not available in the Axis line. Accuracy was OK but the gun itself felt clunky to me.

Of the 2 for me the Savage but I also suggest seeing if any shops have one that you can look at prior to ordering
