For hunters and precision-minded shooters who demand consistent accuracy without breaking the bank, a well-engineered bolt action rifle is still one of the best investments. Modern manufacturing and smart design features can deliver sub-MOA potential and repeatable performance for woods hunts, target work, and field carry.

SAVAGE ARMS AXIS II COMPACT blends practical ergonomics and precision engineering into an accessible package built for shooters who want high-end performance at a value price.

The AXIS II COMPACT features a rebuilt synthetic stock for improved ergonomics that helps shooters achieve a consistent cheek weld and natural point of aim. That redesigned stock pairs with Savage’s user-adjustable AccuTrigger, allowing you to fine-tune pull weight for a clean, predictable break without resorting to gunsmithing.

Key features that matter in the field

Thread-in headspacing and a floating bolt head are not common at this price point, but they are critical to repeatable chamber alignment and consistent lockup—two major contributors to tight groups. The 22-inch button-rifled sporter barrel is optimized for a balance of velocity and handling, delivering hunting-grade accuracy while keeping overall length manageable for brush and pack carry.

Trigger and action design

The AccuTrigger system allows responsible shooters to set the pull to their preference while retaining a safety lever—ideal for those who want a crisp trigger without sacrificing on-safety measures. The threaded headspacing and floating bolt head reduce variables between rounds, improving shot-to-shot consistency.

Value and usability

At a retail price of $435.99, the rifle offers exceptional value for hunters or entry-level precision shooters who value tangible accuracy features over cosmetic extras. Savage Arms has long been notable for bringing performance-driven designs into attainable price bands, and the AXIS II COMPACT continues that tradition. View product details and pricing
