Design and Tactical Features

The AXIS 2 places practical features where they matter. The user-adjustable AccuTrigger provides crisp, safe trigger control that helps turn good shots into great groups without expensive gunsmithing. Thread-in headspacing improves consistency and durability over long-term use. The reworked bolt handle is sleeker and more ergonomic, aiding manipulation with gloves or in wet conditions. At an MSRP of $459.99, this package delivers solid value for a bolt-action rifle with these factory upgrades.

Why .400 Legend?

The .400 Legend is a straight-walled hunting cartridge that excels at short- to medium-range big-game work, offering strong terminal performance with manageable recoil. For hunters operating in regions where straight-wall cartridges are preferred or required, the .400 Legend provides purpose-built energy and bullet options optimized for deer-sized targets and close woodland shots.

Integrated mounting flexibility matters in the field. The two-piece Weaver mount on the AXIS 2 enables fast, repeatable optic installation — ideal for swapping glass between missions or field scopes without losing zero. Combine that with the platform’s matte black barreled action and ODG stock, and you have a practical rifle tuned for low-visibility signature and all-day carrying comfort.
