I don't know if dicks still has the sale (especially where you live) but I just bought a mossberg .270, with scope, soft case, and an $80 set of bushnell glasses.

This rifle has a nice wood stock. Can't tell you how well it shoots since we haven't even bore sighted it yet.....but for $350.00 plus a $50 rebate you can't really go wrong.

My dad bought the axis and he says it shoots great. He does have the same complaint about the trigger, and synthetic stock.
