Design and Ergonomics

The AXIS XP Compact adopts a sleeker, more functional silhouette. The updated bolt handle features an ergonomic profile designed to improve control during cycling in wet or cold conditions. The compact package uses a shorter barrel and stock for improved maneuverability in thick cover and vehicle-based hunting setups. The rifle’s all-black finish presents a low-profile, tactical appearance while remaining durable for regular field use.

Factory Features

This Compact model ships with a factory-mounted and boresighted 3-9×40 scope, simplifying zeroing and delivering out-of-the-box usefulness. A 20-inch barrel and a chambering in .243 Winchester provide a balance of flat trajectory and manageable recoil, making it a strong option for medium-game hunting and precision varmint work. Thread-in headspacing and precision button-rifled barrels are included to boost consistency and accuracy shot to shot. One 4-round magazine is included with the rifle.

Ballistics and Applications

The .243 Winchester is a versatile cartridge: light recoil makes it accessible to new shooters and comfortable for extended shooting sessions, while retained terminal energy and flat trajectory support ethical shots on deer-sized game inside typical hunting ranges. The 20-inch barrel on this Compact variant preserves velocity enough for common hunting loads while keeping overall length minimized for brush or pack carry.
