Description
The .400 Legend has carved out a real following among deer hunters who want more thump than the .350 Legend delivers without stepping up to punishing recoil, and Savage gave it a proper home in the Axis 2 Pro. This is the most dressed-up version of the Axis line, with a 20 inch carbon steel barrel wearing spiral fluting and Gun Metal Bronze Cerakote, plus a synthetic stock finished in Savage's Forest SP camo pattern. The Forest SP treatment adds a textured coating over the stock, so it grips well with cold hands or wet gloves, which matters more than you might think on a frosty November morning.
What Sets the Axis 2 Pro Apart
The user-adjustable AccuTrigger is the headline feature here, letting you dial the pull down to something crisp without a trip to the gunsmith. Thread-in headspacing tightens up accuracy from the factory, and the redesigned bolt handle cycles smoothly even when the weather turns ugly. A one-piece Picatinny rail comes installed from the factory, so mounting a scope takes minutes instead of a parts order. The stock also gets ambidextrous palm swells on the pistol grip, a nice touch whether you shoot righty or lefty around trees and blind windows.
A .400 Legend Built for the Blind and the Stand
At 40.5 inches overall and about 6.8 pounds bare, this rifle carries easily and swings quick in a box blind or shooting house. The detachable box magazine holds four rounds with one in the chamber, and the threaded muzzle means you can add a suppressor or brake whenever you're ready. Inside 200 yards, where most whitetail encounters happen, the .400 Legend puts big, heavy bullets on target with authority.
Why Hunters Keep Picking the Savage Axis 2 Pro
Savage has a long track record of building rifles that shoot better than their price tag suggests, and the Axis 2 Pro continues that streak. Cerakote on the metalwork means rain, snow, and truck-bed dings won't leave you babying your deer rifle. Top it with glass, sight it in, and it's ready for opening day.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Savage Axis 2 Pro come with a scope or sights?
No, this rifle ships without sights or an optic. It does come with a one-piece Picatinny rail already installed on the receiver, so all you need is a scope and a set of rings to get it field ready. Most buyers pair it with a mid-range hunting scope in the 3-9x or 2-10x range.
Can I put a suppressor on the Axis 2 Pro in .400 Legend?
Yes, the 20 inch barrel comes threaded from the factory with a thread protector, so it accepts suppressors and muzzle brakes without any gunsmithing. Just make sure your suppressor is rated for .40 caliber rifle cartridges. The .400 Legend pairs nicely with a can since it runs heavy bullets at moderate velocities.
Is the AccuTrigger on this rifle adjustable at home?
It is. Savage's AccuTrigger lets you adjust the pull weight yourself using the included instructions, no gunsmith visit required. It also has a built-in trigger blade safety that helps prevent the rifle from firing unless the trigger is pulled deliberately, which gives you a crisp, light pull without giving up peace of mind.
How does the .400 Legend compare to the .350 Legend for deer hunting?
The .400 Legend pushes a heavier, larger diameter bullet, so it hits noticeably harder on deer and hogs while keeping recoil mild for the energy it delivers. Inside 200 yards, where most whitetail hunting happens, it leaves big wound channels and anchors game well. If you already shoot .350 Legend and want more punch without moving to a hard-kicking magnum, the .400 Legend is a natural step up.
