There is a lot to like about a rifle that shows up ready to go, and that is exactly what the Savage Axis XP Gen II delivers. This one comes chambered in .400 Legend, the straight-wall cartridge that has been winning over whitetail hunters in shotgun-and-straight-wall country thanks to its solid knockdown power and manageable recoil. Savage pairs a 20-inch button-rifled carbon steel barrel with a factory-mounted, boresighted 3-9×40 scope, so the heavy lifting of mounting and rough zeroing is already done before you ever open the box. Confirm your zero with a box of ammo and you are ready for opening day.
The Gen II update gave the Axis line a refreshed look along with genuinely useful improvements. The redesigned bolt handle has a sleeker, more ergonomic shape that is easier to run with cold hands or gloves on, and the thread-in headspacing helps every barrel leave the factory dialed in for consistent accuracy. The black synthetic sporter stock shrugs off rain, mud, and the occasional bump against a tree stand, and at roughly 7.4 pounds with a 40.5-inch overall length, this rifle carries comfortably on long walks to the back forty. A detachable 4-round box magazine makes loading and unloading quick and simple, and integral swivel studs mean adding a sling takes about two minutes.
The .400 Legend chambering with a 1:16 twist barrel is a natural fit for deer and hog hunting inside 200 yards, delivering big-bore terminal performance without punishing your shoulder. The receiver is drilled and tapped, so if you ever decide to upgrade the glass down the road, you have that flexibility built right in. For a first deer rifle, a loaner for the family, or a no-fuss truck gun for straight-wall season, the Axis XP Gen II covers the bases without making you overthink it.
The 3-9×40 scope comes mounted and boresighted from the factory, which gets you on paper without any gunsmithing. Boresighting is a rough alignment though, not a true zero, so plan to spend a little range time confirming your zero with the ammo you intend to hunt with before the season opens.
The .400 Legend is a straight-wall cartridge built for deer-sized and larger game at moderate ranges, typically inside 200 yards. It hits hard downrange while producing noticeably less recoil than older big-bore options, making it a comfortable choice for newer hunters and a favorite in regions where straight-wall rifles are the go-to for deer season.
Yes. The receiver is drilled and tapped, so you can remove the factory setup and mount bases and rings for whatever glass you prefer down the road. Plenty of folks run the included scope for years, but the upgrade path is there if you want it.
With the scope mounted, the Axis XP Gen II in .400 Legend comes in around 7.4 pounds with a 40.5-inch overall length. That is a comfortable weight for still hunting or hauling into a stand, and the 20-inch barrel keeps it handy in tight timber and box blinds.
