The .400 Legend has quickly earned a spot in a lot of deer camps, and the Savage Axis 2 is one of the most sensible ways to get into the cartridge. This version wears a matte black 20 inch carbon steel barrel with a 1:16 twist that stabilizes those big straight-wall bullets nicely, and the muzzle comes threaded from the factory so you can spin on a suppressor or muzzle device without a trip to the gunsmith. Inside 200 yards or so, which is where most whitetails fall anyway, the .400 Legend hits with real authority while keeping recoil far friendlier than a 12 gauge slug gun.
The big one is Savage's AccuTrigger. You can adjust the pull weight yourself to get a crisp, clean break, which is a feature you usually pay a lot more to get. Savage also builds these with thread-in headspacing and button rifling, the same accuracy-minded approach that made their reputation, so groups off the bench tend to surprise people who judged this rifle by its price tag. The receiver is drilled and tapped, so mounting a scope is quick and painless.
The redesigned gray synthetic stock has improved ergonomics with enhanced texturing, a comfortable grip, and a recoil pad that takes the sting out of a full day of practice. The updated bolt handle is shaped to run smoothly even with cold or gloved hands, and the two-position safety is simple and positive. A detachable box magazine gives you 4+1 on tap and makes loading and unloading at the truck a whole lot easier.
For anyone hunting timber, box blinds, or shotgun-turned-rifle country, this Axis 2 is a practical, hardworking setup. Feed it good ammo, top it with a decent scope, and it will hold up its end of the bargain season after season.
Yes, this model ships with a factory threaded 20 inch barrel. That means you can attach a suppressor or other muzzle device right out of the box, and a thread protector keeps things tidy when you are shooting it bare.
It is. Savage designed the AccuTrigger so the owner can adjust pull weight without a gunsmith, and it uses a blade-style safety lever in the trigger face for a crisp break. Most folks dial it down a bit from the factory setting and notice tighter groups almost immediately.
It is a strong performer inside typical whitetail distances. The straight-wall .400 Legend delivers heavy bullets with plenty of energy for deer and hogs out to around 200 yards, and recoil is noticeably softer than a slug gun. The 1:16 twist on this barrel is matched to the cartridge for consistent accuracy.
Absolutely. The receiver comes drilled and tapped, so you just need bases and rings to get glass mounted. A basic 2-7x or 3-9x hunting scope pairs well with the practical range of the .400 Legend cartridge.
