Built-in features that matter

The SAVAGE AXIS has been rated best in class for entry-level rifles for good reason. Its silky-smooth bolt operation reduces shooter-induced disruption during follow-through, while the detachable box magazine speeds reloads and simplifies range work. The matte black synthetic stock provides a durable, low-glare platform that tracks consistently in rests and bags.

Barrel and action

This left-handed 22-250 Remington model sports a 22-inch matte blued carbon steel barrel with a sporter profile—an effective balance of barrel weight, heat dissipation, and swing for prone or bench positions. The receiver is drilled and tapped for scope mounts, removing guesswork when setting up optics for precision rounds.

Why the 22-250 Remington works for target shooting

The 22-250 Remington is a high-velocity varmint cartridge that delivers a flat trajectory and minimal time-of-flight—advantages when practicing long-range holdovers and wind calls. For target shooters focused on group development and pace-of-fire fundamentals, the cartridge’s light recoil helps maintain consistent sight picture and follow-through.

Practical considerations and value

Savage Arms has a reputation for delivering accurate, repeatable rifles at accessible price points; the SAVAGE AXIS follows that tradition. At a listed price of $356.99, the rifle represents a compelling entry point for new competitors and established shooters looking for a dedicated practice rifle. Its drilled-and-tapped receiver and synthetic stock make upgrading optics or adding sling mounts straightforward.
