Description
Left-handed hunters have spent decades running bolts backward over the top of the receiver, so it's refreshing to see Savage build the AXIS 2 Pro as a genuine left-hand rifle rather than an afterthought. This one comes chambered in 6mm ARC, a cartridge that has earned a loyal following for good reason. It shoots flat, bucks the wind better than its size suggests, and does it all with recoil mild enough that you can watch your hits through the scope. Pushed through a 20-inch heavy sporter barrel with a fast 1:7.5 twist, it stabilizes the long, high-BC bullets the cartridge was designed around, making it a smart pick for deer, antelope, and predators alike.
What the AXIS 2 Pro Brings to the Field
The Pro trim is the most complete AXIS package Savage has offered. The receiver wears a Gun Metal Bronze Cerakote finish that shrugs off weather and pack wear, while the synthetic stock is wrapped in Savage's Western camo pattern, a natural fit for open country and sage flats. The redesigned stock adds aggressive texturing where your hands land, and the pistol grip has palm swells on both sides. An updated ergonomic bolt handle gives you more to grab with gloves on or when your hands are cold and wet. Underneath it all, Savage's thread-in headspacing keeps tolerances tight for consistent accuracy.
Set Up for Optics and Suppressors
There are no iron sights here, and that's by design. A one-piece 0 MOA rail comes installed, so mounting a scope takes minutes instead of an evening. The muzzle is threaded for a suppressor or brake, and 6mm ARC happens to be a great cartridge to run suppressed thanks to its modest powder charge. Feeding comes from a detachable 4-round box magazine, and the user-adjustable AccuTrigger lets you dial the pull weight down to a crisp break without a trip to the gunsmith.
A Lefty Rifle That Punches Above Its Class
This is a compact-sized build, which makes it a great fit for smaller-framed hunters, younger left-handed hunters, or anyone who likes a quick-handling rifle in the timber or a blind. Add glass, zero it, and it's ready for the season.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the 6mm ARC in the AXIS 2 Pro enough for deer hunting?
Yes, within sensible ranges it's a very capable deer cartridge. With quality 103 to 108 grain hunting bullets, 6mm ARC delivers flat trajectories and solid terminal performance on whitetail, mule deer, and antelope. The light recoil also makes it easier to shoot well, which matters more than raw power when it comes to clean, ethical shots.
Does the Savage AXIS 2 Pro come with a scope or sights?
No, this model ships without sights or a scope. It does come with a one-piece 0 MOA Picatinny rail already installed on the receiver, so all you need are rings and your choice of glass. That factory rail saves you the hassle of hunting down separate bases.
Is this a full-size rifle or a compact model?
This left-hand 6mm ARC version is built on Savage's compact stock, which means a shorter length of pull than the full-size AXIS 2 Pro. That makes it a great fit for youth hunters, smaller-framed adults, or anyone who shoots with heavy winter layers. Plenty of average-sized folks find compact stocks handle quicker in tight cover too.
Can I put a suppressor on the AXIS 2 Pro Western?
You can. The 20-inch heavy sporter barrel comes threaded from the factory with a thread protector, so it will accept a suppressor or muzzle brake with the correct thread pattern. The 6mm ARC is a pleasant cartridge to run suppressed since it burns a relatively small powder charge.
