The .270 Winchester has been dropping deer and pronghorn for close to a century, and the Savage Axis 2 is one of the most sensible ways to put that cartridge in your hands. This is the updated version of the rifle that made Savage a household name with budget-minded hunters, and the improvements are the kind you notice at the range and in the stand. The gray synthetic stock got a real redesign with sharper texturing on the grip and forend, plus a reshaped bolt handle that is easier to run with cold or wet hands. At roughly six and a half pounds bare, it carries well on long walks to the stand and does not fight you when climbing in and out of a treestand.
Savage builds accuracy into this rifle the same way they do their pricier models. Thread-in headspacing means the barrel and receiver are fitted to each other rather than mass-produced to loose tolerances, and the floating bolt head lets the lugs settle into full contact for consistent lockup. The 22-inch button-rifled carbon steel barrel with a 1:10 twist stabilizes the full range of common .270 loads, from 130-grain deer bullets to heavier 150-grain options for bigger game. Then there is the AccuTrigger, which you can adjust yourself from around 2.5 up to 6 pounds. A clean, crisp trigger on a hunting rifle at this price used to be a pipe dream, and Savage still delivers it standard.
The receiver comes drilled and tapped, so mounting a scope is straightforward. There are no iron sights on this model, which is fine since a 3-9x optic is the natural pairing for a .270 anyway. The flush-fitting detachable box magazine holds four rounds with one more in the chamber, the tang safety sits right under your thumb, and the vented recoil pad takes the edge off the .270's bark. Add glass and a sling and this rifle is ready for opening morning.
No, this model ships without an optic. The receiver is drilled and tapped, so you just need bases, rings, and the scope of your choice. If you want a factory-mounted package, Savage offers that as the Axis 2 XP, which is a separate model.
Yes. The AccuTrigger is user-adjustable from roughly 2.5 to 6 pounds using the included instructions, no gunsmith required. Most hunters set it somewhere in the 3-pound range for a crisp, predictable break.
The .270 Win is one of the most proven all-around big game cartridges out there. It shoots flat and hits hard on whitetail, mule deer, and pronghorn, and with heavier 140 to 150 grain loads it has taken plenty of elk and black bear. Ammo is easy to find just about anywhere that sells centerfire rifle cartridges.
The rifle weighs around 6.6 pounds without an optic, which puts it on the lighter side for a full-size hunting rifle. With a typical 3-9x scope and rings mounted, expect it to land somewhere near 7.5 pounds, still very manageable for all-day carry.
