I found a Savage axis XP 30-06 synthetic with Bushnell scope package. For the ones that have one any pros or cons?
Savage axis XP?

I have one in 223 and an older model in 7mm-08.
The 223 is a one-hole machine at 100 yards: 25 gr H335 behind a 60 gr partition. Fed primers.
I also have a 6.5 that is not as accurate but I have spent very little time with it.
For the price they are very hard to beat.

Sportsman warehouse has them for $ 329 right now thought that was a good deal.
I have one in 22-250 but can't shoot it till after Christmas 
I bought one years ago, a stainless 223. It is a great shooter, very accurate. Mine is so old it has the first trigger system in it. It needed improvement. So I bought a spring kit and brought the pull to under 2lbs, then I picked up a Boyds stock for it. It is a nice-looking rifle and a perfect varmint gun.
I got my son one in .243. Changed the trigger out to a Timney and it is a great little rifle for him. I think the full size model with a trigger swap would be very nice. If it has the accutrigger you wouldn't even need to change anything.
Its my understanding the Axis II XP has AccuTrigger and the Axis XP does not.

Yep, I believe you are correct. That was the main reason I picked the Axis II for my sons 243 last Christmas.

Have an Axis XP in .243. Good rifle.
I've got a Savage Axis 22-250 and it's a great factory ammo shooter, just haven't had the time to work up a handload for it yet, but I'm thinking it'll be a tack driver for sure when I do
