Description
Left-handed hunters usually get stuck picking from a short list of rifles, and half of them feel like an afterthought. The Savage Axis 2 Pro in .270 Winchester is a proper southpaw setup, with the bolt on the correct side and a redesigned ergonomic handle that runs smooth even with cold or gloved hands. The .270 chambering needs no introduction. It has been dropping deer, antelope, and elk for the better part of a century, shoots flat, and ammo is on the shelf just about everywhere.
What Sets This Axis 2 Pro Apart
The Pro trim is a real step up from the standard Axis line. The 20 inch heavy sporter barrel is spiral fluted to trim weight and stiffen things up, and the muzzle comes threaded 5/8×24 with a thread protector installed, so adding a suppressor or brake is a five minute job. Savage builds it with thread-in headspacing, the same approach behind the brand's reputation for out-of-the-box accuracy. The metalwork wears a Gun Metal Bronze Cerakote finish that shrugs off weather and looks sharp against the camo. Up top, a one-piece rail with 0 MOA slope is already mounted, so you can bolt on a scope and get to zeroing.
Forest SP Camo Stock and AccuTrigger
The synthetic stock wears Savage's Forest SP camo pattern with an added textured coating, which gives it noticeably more grip than a slick molded stock when things get wet. QD studs are in place for a sling or bipod. Behind it all sits the user-adjustable AccuTrigger, which lets you dial the pull weight to your preference and breaks clean without creep. Rounds feed from a detachable 4-round box magazine, giving you 4+1 on board.
A Field Rifle That Earns Its Keep
The shorter 20 inch barrel makes this rifle quick to maneuver in a shooting house, a treestand, or thick timber, and it balances nicely once a can goes on the end. For a left-handed hunter who wants a dependable .270 that is suppressor ready from day one, this one checks the boxes without emptying the wallet.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Savage Axis 2 Pro a true left-hand rifle?
Yes, this is a dedicated left-hand model, not a right-handed action with workarounds. The bolt handle sits on the left side and features Savage's updated ergonomic design for smoother cycling. It is one of the more affordable ways for a lefty to get a purpose-built bolt gun.
Can I mount a suppressor on the Axis 2 Pro's barrel?
You can. The 20 inch spiral-fluted barrel comes threaded 5/8×24 from the factory, which is the standard thread pattern for most .30 caliber and smaller suppressors and muzzle brakes. A knurled thread protector is included to keep the threads clean when you are running the bare muzzle.
Does this rifle come with a scope or sights?
No, it ships without sights or an optic, but it is fully optics ready. A one-piece rail with 0 MOA slope comes factory mounted on the receiver, so all you need is a set of rings and your scope of choice. That flat rail works well with typical hunting scopes at practical .270 distances.
Is the AccuTrigger on the Axis 2 Pro adjustable at home?
Yes, Savage's AccuTrigger is user adjustable, so you can set the pull weight to your liking with the included instructions and a simple tool. It uses a blade safety in the center of the trigger shoe and breaks cleanly without creep. Most owners find they can dial in a crisp hunting-weight pull in a few minutes.
