Precision features that matter

The AccuTrigger is a hallmark of Savage Arms and allows the shooter to tune trigger pull without aftermarket gunsmithing—ideal for hunters who want a crisp break for ethical shot placement. Thread-in headspacing enhances repeatability across ammunition types and makes the bolt-to-barrel relationship more consistent shot to shot. These mechanical refinements are why Savage Arms remains a go-to brand for shooters seeking factory-level accuracy.

Ergonomics and field use

The AXIS 2’s redesigned bolt handle improves purchase and control during cycling, an advantage in cold or rainy conditions. The green stock color paired with an all-black finish offers a low-profile aesthetic suitable for hunting applications. A single 4-round magazine is included, keeping the rifle compact while offering sufficient capacity for typical hunting scenarios. View product details and pricing here.

Why the .25-06 Remington chambering

The .25-06 Remington is a flat-shooting, versatile cartridge well-suited to medium game at extended ranges. It balances recoil and trajectory for accurate follow-up shots and effective terminal performance on deer-sized game with appropriate bullets. For hunters wanting reach beyond typical short-range setups, .25-06 in a tack-driving AXIS 2 is a practical option.

At $438.99, the SAVAGE ARMS AXIS 2 [GRN] offers a compelling mix of accuracy-enhancing features, field-ready ergonomics, and optic-ready mounting—all at a price point aimed at serious hunters and budget-conscious shooters. Check current availability on the shop page.
