Straight-wall cartridges have changed the game for a lot of deer hunters, and the .400 Legend is one of the best reasons to make the switch. It hits hard, recoil stays manageable, and it pairs perfectly with a handy bolt gun like the Axis 2. Savage built this one with a 20-inch carbon steel sporter barrel wearing a matte black finish and a 1:16 twist that matches the cartridge well. At 6.4 pounds and 40.5 inches overall, it carries easy on long walks in and handles quick inside a blind or box stand.
The big one is the AccuTrigger. You can adjust the pull yourself to get a crisp, clean break, which goes a long way toward wringing real accuracy out of any rifle. Savage also uses thread-in headspacing on these barrels, one of the reasons the Axis line has a reputation for shooting better than its price tag suggests. The redesigned stock is a step up from the original Axis too, with better texturing, an ergonomic grip, a recoil pad that takes the sting out of the .400 Legend, and integral swivel studs for a sling. The updated bolt handle gives you a little more to grab onto when your hands are cold or wet, which matters more than you might think during late season.
The receiver comes drilled and tapped, so mounting a scope is quick work, and the 3-9x class of optics suits this cartridge nicely. Feeding comes from a detachable 4-round box magazine for a 4+1 total, and the tang safety sits right where your thumb wants it. Load it with 190 to 215 grain .400 Legend ammo and you have a straightforward, no-drama whitetail rig that does its job without complaint.
No, this model ships without sights or an optic. The receiver comes drilled and tapped from the factory, so adding a scope base and rings is a quick job. If you want a factory-scoped option, Savage offers the Axis 2 XP with a mounted and bore-sighted 3-9×40.
The .400 Legend is a straight-wall cartridge designed mainly for deer and hog hunting inside about 200 to 250 yards. It delivers heavy-hitting energy similar to bigger bore rounds while keeping recoil far more comfortable than something like a 12 gauge slug. It has become a favorite in regions where hunters have moved from slug guns to straight-wall rifles.
Yes. The Axis 2 uses Savage's AccuTrigger, which is user-adjustable for pull weight without a trip to a gunsmith. It also has an integrated safety blade that helps prevent the rifle from firing unless the trigger is pulled deliberately, so you get a light, crisp break with peace of mind.
Pretty mild for what the cartridge delivers. The .400 Legend was designed to produce noticeably less recoil than a 12 gauge slug gun or a .450 Bushmaster, and the included recoil pad on the synthetic stock soaks up a good chunk of what's left. Most hunters, including newer or smaller-framed ones, find it very manageable at 6.4 pounds.
