Key features that matter on the range and in the field

AccuTrigger and accuracy

The AccuTrigger is one of the AXIS 2 XP’s standout elements. It allows shooters to fine-tune trigger pull to their preference, improving shot consistency and group size. Combined with thread-in headspacing, the rifle is engineered for more consistent chamber alignment and repeatable shot-to-shot performance.

Bolt design and field ergonomics

The updated bolt handle features a sleeker, ergonomic profile that improves manipulation speed and comfort. This is particularly useful when operating in cold or wet conditions where positive control over the bolt is critical.

Optics, capacity, and cartridge choice

Delivered with a boresighted 3-9×40 scope that uses fully multi-coated lenses, the AXIS 2 XP gets shooters on target quickly while minimizing initial setup. Tool-less windage and elevation adjustments simplify zeroing. Chambered in .22-250 Remington, this rifle suits varmint and long-range small-game applications where high velocity and flat trajectories are desired. The included 4-round magazine keeps the profile compact for stalking and field work.
