Savage Axis 2 5.56 NATO 20" 4rd OD Green Rifle

The Savage Axis 2 is a bolt action hunting rifle, and this right hand version is chambered in 5.56 NATO. It wears an OD Green synthetic sporter stock over a matte black carbon steel barreled action. The 20" heavy sporter barrel is button rifled and threaded 1/2-28 at the muzzle, and Savage installs it with thread in headspacing. The receiver is drilled and tapped and comes with two piece Weaver style bases, so mounting a scope takes little more than a set of rings.

Savage gave this generation a reworked stock with more texture, a contoured grip with palm swells on both sides, a recoil pad and two QD sling studs. Length of pull adjusts between 12.75" and 13.75". The AccuTrigger is user adjustable. Rounds feed from a detachable box magazine that holds 4, with one magazine included, and the release works from either side. The bolt handle has a new shape that gives a better hold when hands are wet or cold, and the bolt release sits on the side of the action. At 6.7 lbs, it suits big game, hogs and predators.
