The modern hunting rifle market rewards designs that balance affordability with performance. For shooters who demand controllable ergonomics, factory accuracy, and straightforward maintenance in a left-handed package, there are few bolt-actions that hit that sweet spot without stretching the budget.

SAVAGE ARMS AXIS 2 LH [GRN] is the redesigned platform that brings improved ergonomics and out-of-the-box accuracy to the .30-06 shooter. The AXIS 2 LH ships with a 22-inch barrel, a comfortable green stock, and a left-handed bolt layout that keeps controls intuitive for southpaw operators. Shop this product

Design and ergonomics

The AXIS 2 series refines the original package with an updated bolt handle that features a sleeker, ergonomic contour for faster, more reliable manipulation in wet or cold conditions. Thread-in headspacing, a feature carried over from higher-end Savage models, simplifies bolt and barrel work and helps ensure consistent chamber fit — a key contributor to repeatable accuracy.

Trigger and accuracy features

One of the standout features is the user-adjustable AccuTrigger. This factory-equipped trigger allows shooters to dial in trigger pull to personal preference while maintaining a safe break, which is especially valuable for hunters who need a crisp, predictable trigger in the field. Combined with Savage’s emphasis on bedding and headspace control, the package is engineered for tack-driving results from a production rifle.

Caliber, capacity, and field use

Chambered in .30-06 Springfield, the AXIS 2 LH offers versatile performance for medium- to large-game hunting across a broad range of bullet weights and styles. The 22-inch barrel balances velocity and maneuverability in dense terrain. A single 4-round magazine keeps weight and profile compact while providing enough capacity for ethical follow-up shots. As a Bolt Action category rifle, it’s straightforward to maintain and dependable in remote environments. View product details and pricing
