There is a reason the Savage Axis line keeps showing up in deer camps across the country. The Axis 2 XP takes the proven formula and rounds it out with a factory-mounted, boresighted 3-9×40 scope, which means you are not hunting down rings and bases or paying a gunsmith to mount glass. Bring it home, confirm zero with your hunting load, and you are ready for opening day. Chambered in .308 Winchester, one of the most versatile and easy-to-find big game cartridges out there, this rifle handles everything from whitetail and hogs to black bear at sensible hunting distances.
The heart of this rifle is Savage's user-adjustable AccuTrigger, which lets you dial the pull weight anywhere from 2.5 to 6 pounds with a simple tool, no gunsmith required. A crisp, light trigger does more for real-world accuracy than most upgrades, and it is rare to find one at this level in an entry-priced package. The 22 inch button-rifled sporter barrel with a 1:10 twist stabilizes the full range of common .308 bullet weights, and Savage's thread-in headspacing keeps chamber tolerances tight from the factory. The updated bolt handle has a more ergonomic shape that runs smoothly even with cold or gloved hands, a detail you will appreciate on a frosty November morning.
The gray synthetic stock shrugs off rain, mud, and truck-bed abuse, and the integral swivel studs mean adding a sling takes minutes. The scope's fully multi-coated lenses pull in good light at dawn and dusk when game moves, and the tool-less windage and elevation adjustments make zeroing painless. A detachable 4-round box magazine keeps reloads quick and unloading simple at the end of the day. At 7.7 pounds scoped and 42.5 inches overall, it carries comfortably on long walks to the stand. For a first deer rifle, a loaner for camp, or a no-fuss workhorse in a do-everything caliber, the Axis 2 XP is one of the smartest complete packages Savage builds.
Just about. The 3-9×40 scope comes factory mounted and boresighted, so it will be close on paper at reasonable range. Boresighting gets you in the neighborhood, but you should still confirm and fine-tune your zero at the range with the ammo you plan to hunt with before heading afield.
Yes, that is one of the best parts of this rifle. The AccuTrigger is user adjustable from roughly 2.5 to 6 pounds using the included adjustment method described in the manual, no gunsmith visit needed. It also has a built-in safety blade in the trigger face that helps prevent the rifle from firing unless the trigger is deliberately pressed.
The Axis 2 XP adds the user-adjustable AccuTrigger, which is a big step up from the standard trigger on the original Axis. It also gets updated ergonomics, including a redesigned bolt handle that is easier to run with gloves or in wet weather. Both ship as scoped packages, but the trigger alone makes the Axis 2 worth it for most folks.
It is one of the most popular deer cartridges in the country for good reason. The .308 offers plenty of power for whitetail, mule deer, hogs, and black bear, with manageable recoil in a 7.7 pound rifle like this one. Ammo is easy to find almost anywhere, in loads from light target fare to premium hunting bullets, and the 1:10 twist barrel handles common bullet weights well.
