Savage Arms Axis II Right Hand .30-06 Springfield Blue/Black Rifle

A: Rylan This specific firearm does not have a rail to mount an optic on it. You can get the same rifle with scope on it in the Axis ll XP model.

A: it does not have built in bases or a rail but it is drilled and tapped for scope mounting you just need the correct size rings and a rail like these https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/search.php/type/Accessories/q/weaver%20base/sort/price-asc

A: Rylan, no Scope Base included with this rifle. I recommend the one piece AXIS Base here : https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/80867/weaver+mounts+48347+1-piece+weaver+base+savage+axis+matte+bl

A: Rylan - Why go through the ordeal of buying mounts and rings? Here's what you need for only a couple of bucks more - cheaper in the long run. https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/70956/savage+axis+xp+3006+w%2fscp

A: Bruce, yes sir, this has a decently thick Rubber Buttpad. So shouldn't have any issues. Hope this helps.

A: Hi Bruce and welcome to the Buds Community. The recoil pad is approximately 3/4 inches but hard rubber. A recoil butt pad will reduce by 35 to 40% : https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/39388/limbsaver+slip+on+large+black+recoil+pad

A: Bruce, yes sir, this gun sports a modern design that includes sleek contours, recoil pad vents and a textured, easy-to-control grip. Picture here >>> savagearms.com/content?p=firearms&a=product_summary&s=57365 Stay safe & have a great day!
