The .22-250 Remington has been putting the hurt on prairie dogs, coyotes, and groundhogs for decades, and the Savage Axis 2 is one of the most sensible ways to get into the cartridge. The 22 inch carbon steel sporter barrel is button rifled with a 1:12 twist, which suits the lighter 40 to 55 grain bullets this round was built around. Those loads leave the muzzle fast and shoot flat, so holdover guesswork out to reasonable varmint distances mostly goes away. Thread-in headspacing keeps the bolt-to-barrel fit consistent, and that shows up on paper.
The standout here is the AccuTrigger. You can adjust the pull weight yourself from around 2.5 to 6 pounds, so you get a crisp, safe trigger dialed to your preference right out of the box. Savage also reworked the second-generation Axis stock with better ergonomics, improved texturing, and palm swells on the grip, and the updated bolt handle is easier to run with cold or gloved hands. The whole rifle weighs 6.6 pounds, which hits a nice middle ground: light enough to carry all day, heavy enough to stay steady when a coyote hangs up at 300 yards.
There are no iron sights on this one, and that is by design. The receiver comes drilled and tapped, so mounting bases and a scope is quick work. A 4-16x or similar variable is a popular match for the flat-shooting .22-250, though a basic 3-9x will handle most field situations just fine. Feeding comes from a detachable 4-round box magazine for a 4+1 total capacity, and the matte black metalwork plus gray synthetic stock shrug off dings, dew, and truck-bed abuse.
This is the kind of rifle you buy to use, not to babysit. Whether you are thinning out groundhogs, calling coyotes in January, or just want an accurate bolt gun for punching paper, the Axis 2 in .22-250 delivers a lot of capability without much fuss.
No, this model ships without sights or optics. The receiver is drilled and tapped from the factory, so you just need to add bases, rings, and the scope of your choice. If you want a package with glass already mounted, Savage offers the Axis 2 XP as a separate model.
Yes. The AccuTrigger is user-adjustable from roughly 2.5 to 6 pounds using the included adjustment tool, no gunsmith needed. It also has an integrated safety blade that keeps the trigger crisp and light without sacrificing safety.
The 1:12 twist stabilizes the lighter bullets the .22-250 is known for, generally in the 40 to 55 grain range. Those are the classic varmint and predator weights, so this rifle is right at home on coyotes, prairie dogs, and groundhogs. Heavier match bullets above 60 grains or so may not stabilize well with this twist rate.
The rifle weighs about 6.6 pounds bare, which keeps it manageable for all-day carry in the field. The synthetic stock has a 13.75 inch length of pull that fits most adult shooters, and the redesigned grip with palm swells works well for both right and left handed use.
