There is a reason the Axis line keeps showing up in deer camps all over the country. Savage took a platform that already had a reputation for shooting straight and gave it a real refresh, and this Axis 2 in .308 Winchester is the result. The 22-inch carbon steel sporter barrel is button rifled and headspaced using Savage's thread-in method, which is a big part of why these rifles group so well right out of the box. A 1:10 twist rate handles the full spread of common .308 bullet weights, from light varmint loads up to heavy 180-grain game bullets.
The user-adjustable AccuTrigger is the standout here. You can tune the pull weight from around 2.5 up to 6 pounds with a simple tool, so the trigger breaks the way you want it to instead of the way the factory lawyer wanted it to. Pair that with the smooth bolt throw and the redesigned ergonomic bolt handle, which is easier to run with cold or gloved hands, and you get a rifle that is genuinely pleasant to shoot. The two-position tang safety sits right under your thumb where it belongs.
The fixed gray synthetic stock shrugs off rain, mud, and truck-bed abuse, and the matte black metalwork keeps glare down when you are settled into a stand. Integral sling swivel studs come standard, and the receiver is drilled and tapped so mounting a scope is quick work. At 6.6 pounds bare and 42.5 inches overall, it carries easily on long walks to the back forty without beating you up at the bench.
A detachable 4-round box magazine gives you 4+1 total capacity, plenty for a hunting rifle, and swapping mags is faster than thumbing rounds into a blind magazine. Chambered in .308 Win, this rifle covers everything from whitetail and hogs to elk at reasonable ranges, with ammo available on just about any shelf in America. For a first bolt gun or a dependable backup, this one is tough to beat.
No, this model ships without a scope or iron sights. The receiver is drilled and tapped and includes Weaver-style bases, so you can mount the optic of your choice quickly. If you want a package deal with glass already mounted, look at the Axis 2 XP version instead.
Yes, that is the whole point of the AccuTrigger. It is user-adjustable from roughly 2.5 to 6 pounds using the included adjustment method described in the manual, no gunsmith required. Most folks dial it down toward the lighter end for a crisper, more predictable break.
It is one of the most popular setups out there for exactly that. The .308 Win has plenty of punch for whitetail, mule deer, hogs, and even elk at sensible distances, and the 1:10 twist barrel stabilizes a wide range of bullet weights. Add manageable recoil and easy-to-find ammo, and it makes a great all-around deer rifle.
Yes, this rifle is listed for .308 Win / 7.62 NATO, so it will run both commercial .308 Winchester and 7.62×51 NATO loads. For best hunting accuracy, most owners stick with quality commercial soft point or bonded hunting ammo rather than surplus ball.
