Left-handed hunters know the drill: most rifle lineups treat you like an afterthought. The Savage Axis 2 in .308 Winchester is one of the few budget-friendly bolt guns built as a genuine southpaw rifle, with the bolt handle and ejection port where they belong. No reaching over the action, no awkward cycling from the shoulder. Just run the bolt like everyone else finally gets to.
The heart of the rifle is Savage's AccuTrigger, which you can adjust yourself from roughly 2.5 to 6 pounds without a trip to a gunsmith. Set it light for the bench or a bit heavier for cold-weather hunts with gloves on. Behind that trigger sits a 22 inch carbon steel sporter barrel with a 1:10 twist, a great match for the wide range of .308 hunting loads from 150 to 180 grains. Savage's thread-in headspacing keeps chamber tolerances tight from the factory, which is a big part of why these rifles have a reputation for punching above their price on paper.
The fixed gray synthetic stock keeps overall weight around 6.6 pounds, light enough to carry all day but with enough heft to settle in for a deliberate shot. The redesigned bolt handle has a larger, more ergonomic knob that's easy to grab with cold or wet hands, and the 4 round detachable box magazine makes loading and unloading quick at the truck. There are no iron sights on this one, and that's by design. The receiver comes drilled and tapped, so mount your favorite glass, zero it, and you're set for deer season.
This is a working rifle for whitetail, hogs, black bear, and anything else .308 handles, which is most of North America. It's a smart first centerfire for a left-handed shooter and an easy choice for anyone who wants dependable accuracy without babying a fancy stock through the briars.
Yes, this is a dedicated left-hand action, not a right-handed rifle with a swapped safety. The bolt handle sits on the left side and ejection is set up for southpaw operation, so you can cycle the bolt naturally without breaking your cheek weld or reaching over the receiver.
No, this model ships without sights or optics. The receiver comes drilled and tapped from the factory, so you just need a set of bases or a rail plus rings to mount whatever scope suits your hunting style. If you want a package with glass included, Savage offers that as the Axis 2 XP, which is a separate model.
You can. The AccuTrigger is user-adjustable from about 2.5 to 6 pounds using the tool and instructions Savage includes with the rifle. It takes a few minutes and no gunsmithing experience, and the AccuTrigger's blade safety keeps things secure even at lighter pull weights.
The .308 Winchester is one of the most versatile hunting cartridges around, well suited for whitetail, mule deer, hogs, black bear, and elk at reasonable distances. The 22 inch barrel and 1:10 twist stabilize the full range of common hunting bullets, and ammo is easy to find just about anywhere.
