Description
Left-handed hunters know the drill: most rifle lineups treat you like an afterthought. Savage went the other direction with the Axis 2 Pro, building a proper southpaw bolt action in .30-06 Springfield with features that usually cost quite a bit more. The Forest SP Camo version stands out in the lineup because it gets a spiral fluted barrel, something Savage reserves exclusively for these models. That fluting sheds heat faster between shots and trims a little weight while looking sharp doing it.
What Makes This Axis 2 Pro Different
The 20-inch barrel is a smart length for a .30-06 hunting rig. It swings easier in a blind or thick timber than a 24-inch tube, and the threaded muzzle leaves the door open for a suppressor or brake down the road. The action wears a Gun Metal Bronze Cerakote finish that shrugs off rain and rough treatment, and Savage's thread-in headspacing helps deliver the kind of out-of-the-box accuracy the Axis line has built its name on. Up top, a one-piece 0 MOA Picatinny rail comes factory installed, so scope mounting is about as painless as it gets.
Built for Comfort in the Field
The synthetic stock got a real workover on the Axis 2 Pro. Enhanced texturing keeps your grip locked in with cold or wet hands, and ambidextrous palm swells fill the hand nicely from either side. The redesigned bolt handle is easier to run with gloves on, and the user-adjustable AccuTrigger lets you dial the pull weight to your liking without a trip to a gunsmith. Feeding comes from a detachable 4-round box magazine that makes loading and unloading at the truck quick and simple.
A Left-Hand .30-06 That Earns Its Keep
Chambered in one of the most versatile big game cartridges ever made, this rifle covers everything from whitetail to elk with the right load. At roughly 6.8 pounds it carries well all day, and owners consistently report tight groups once a scope is mounted. For a lefty who wants a dependable do-it-all hunting rifle, this one checks the boxes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Savage Axis 2 Pro a true left-handed rifle?
Yes, this is a dedicated left-hand action, not a right-handed rifle with a converted stock. The bolt handle and ejection port sit on the left side, so a southpaw can cycle the action without reaching over the receiver. The palm swells on the stock are ambidextrous as well.
Does the Axis 2 Pro Forest SP come with sights or a scope?
No iron sights or scope are included, but it ships with a one-piece 0 MOA Picatinny rail already mounted on the receiver. That means all you need is a set of rings and the optic of your choice. Most owners pair it with a 3-9x or similar hunting scope and are shooting tight groups shortly after.
What is special about the spiral fluted barrel on the Forest SP models?
Savage reserves spiral fluting exclusively for the Forest SP Camo versions of the Axis 2 Pro. The fluting increases surface area so the barrel cools faster between shots, which helps shot-to-shot consistency during longer range sessions. It also cuts a bit of weight and gives the rifle a distinctive look.
Can I put a suppressor or muzzle brake on this rifle?
You can. The 20-inch barrel comes threaded from the factory, so it will accept suppressors and muzzle brakes designed for .30 caliber rifles. Just confirm your device matches the muzzle thread pitch before ordering, and keep the thread protector on when you're running the bare muzzle.
