Ergonomics and controls

The redesigned bolt handle on the AXIS 2 improves purchase and control, especially when wearing gloves or operating in wet, cold conditions. The green synthetic stock provides a comfortable, natural grip and the all-black barreled action resists glare. Thread-in headspacing enhances consistent lock-up from shot to shot, reducing one variable that affects accuracy downrange.

Accuracy features that matter

The built-in, user-adjustable AccuTrigger remains the centerpiece for repeatable, crisp breaks without having to buy aftermarket components. Combined with Savage’s thread-in headspacing and solid bedding geometry, the AXIS 2 is set up to deliver tight groups right out of the box.

Caliber: .25-06 Remington

Chambered in .25-06 Remington, this rifle is well-suited for medium-game hunting and long-range shots where a flat trajectory and manageable recoil are priorities. The caliber provides extended reach compared with smaller field cartridges while preserving shooter comfort—useful for hunters who need precise, ethical shots at distance.

Optics and magazine setup

The integrated 2-piece Weaver mount simplifies scope installation and keeps the receiver profile slim for standard optics. The included single 4-round magazine is compact and reliable for hunting scenarios where quick reloads aren’t frequent but dependability is critical.
