For shooters seeking a reliable, accurate bolt-action rifle that balances field-ready ergonomics with straightforward value, this model delivers on fundamentals without unnecessary complexity. It’s built for hunters and range shooters who want a dependable platform that’s easy to carry and even easier to shoot well.

SAVAGE AXIS blends unflinching performance and impressive accuracy in a modern, no-nonsense package. The XP Compact model features a Mossy Oak BreakUp Country synthetic stock with sleek contours, recoil pad vents, and a textured, easy-to-control grip. It ships with a 20″ blued carbon steel barrel and a drilled-and-tapped receiver, and the bolt delivers silky-smooth operation. The rifle also comes with a 3-9x40mm Weaver scope already boresighted for quick engagement out of the box.

Design and Ergonomics

The SAVAGE AXIS’ synthetic Mossy Oak stock is designed for low weight and all-weather durability. Recoil pad vents help manage felt recoil on follow-up shots, while the textured grip gives positive hand purchase in wet or cold conditions. The modern contours reduce snag points when carrying through brush and make the rifle comfortable to shoulder for extended glassing or stalking sessions.

Action, Barrel, and Optics

Under the stock the carbon steel barrel provides consistent harmonics and longevity; the blued finish resists corrosion. The drilled-and-tapped receiver lets you mount optics easily, and the inclusion of a 3-9x40mm Weaver scope—boresighted at the factory—means you’ll be ready for the range immediately. Bolt operation is smooth by design, which helps maintain sight picture and accuracy during follow-up shots.
