Savage, out of the box, from the major non boutique gun builders are the most accurate, consistently. If has to do with how they are assembled and head-spaced mostly.
I do not understand how you can call a rifle "decent" and compare it to a mediocre product, but then in the next sentence: ''lights out".
Good info as it is the Savage Axis that caught my eye for its low price. I have( 2) 35 Rem Marlins that I love but ammo is hard to come by and quite expensive as of late. At 62 just want the bast bang for the buck! LOLSavage, out of the box, from the major non boutique gun builders are the most accurate, consistently.

The 110 is a great rifle.
I like the idea of the long action, as it gives you much better selection of calibers later should you choose to change from a 30-06 to maybe 300 win mag, and barrel changes are very easy, and can be done with great precision, at home, no machining required.
The Savage Axis is not the same level of quality, so I cannot recommend that line.
I am left handed as well.

When the shots are long, settle for nothing less than the precision of the 110 Tactical Desert Left Hand.savagearms.com
The Axis is just not the same gun. Go with the 110. I just realized I sent the wrong link to Savage's site. The one I sent you is only available in 6.5 and 308......Good luck....I am not sure what you want the gun for, in 30-06 I assume hunting.
I kinda can. Ruger 10/22's IMO are decent little rifles. I have 2. I've had as many as 4 or 5 at one time. I only have one that I will NEVER sell. It's not sentimental or anything, but it has always shot tighter groups with any given ammo than any of the other 10/22's that I've passed around. It is definitely a lights out Ruger yet still falls within that 'decent' category.
I get it, but if a gun shoots "lights out" it is not decent, it is great.
I am not sure what this means:
What’s happening is you’re trying to equate accuracy = great overall.
I see what you are saying. We will like not see eye to eye on this, as I go with function over form with guns. No problem, thanks for explaining.
I prefer a well-balanced platform versus only having one area that’s great and mediocre/decent in others so yes, we will not see eye to eye.
As about to mimic this. I’ve had a left hand savage 11 .243, lh savage 110 apex hunter 30-06 and a lh tikka stainless 308. All of them shot well into an inch. Fit finish and feeding tikka takes it all the way. The stocks on the newer savages are very ergonomic and I prefer the 3 position safety over 2 positions. Accutrigger is good and anything you don’t like is changeable.
My rifle predates the accutrigger by a few years but I sprung for an aftermarket unit. I think it was a Timney. The heavy trigger was always the weak spot on the earlier guns.
