SAVAGE ARMS AXIS 2 XP [ODG]

Ergonomics and Controls

The updated bolt handle uses a sleek, ergonomic design to improve control in wet or cold conditions where grip and quick cycling matter. The ODG polymer stock offers a comfortable, weather-resistant platform while maintaining a slim profile that benefits quick shouldering and follow-up shots.

AccuTrigger and Headspacing

One standout feature is Savage’s user-adjustable AccuTrigger. This allows shooters to dial a safe, consistent trigger pull without professional gunsmithing—translating to tighter groups and more confidence behind the trigger. Thread-in headspacing is another production-level detail that contributes to consistent lock-up and accuracy across ammunition types.

Caliber, Capacity, and Practical Use

Chambered in .223 Remington, this AXIS 2 XP suits varmint control, small-game hunting, and light-range duty where low recoil and affordable ammunition are priorities. The rifle includes one 4-round magazine—compact and compliant for many hunting scenarios—while the rifle’s black finish paired with the ODG stock keeps a low-profile, utilitarian look.

Factory Optic and Field Readiness

A factory-mounted 3-9×40 optic with multi-coated lenses and tool-less adjustments puts a useful optic on the rifle from the start, eliminating the immediate need for aftermarket optics and mounting. Combined with the ergonomic bolt and AccuTrigger, the package is tuned for shooters who want a ready-to-shoot rifle out of the box.

At a listed price of $708.99, the SAVAGE ARMS AXIS 2 XP [ODG] delivers feature-rich performance—including AccuTrigger, threaded-in headspacing, an ergonomic bolt handle, and a factory-mounted scope—making it a tactical-minded choice for shooters on a budget.
