For hunters and precision shooters seeking a left-handed bolt action that balances value, ergonomics, and out-of-the-box accuracy, the right choice can make a measurable difference in field performance. A modern, well-executed platform should combine reliable feeding, a predictable trigger, and an easy optics setup so you spend more time making clean shots and less time fighting equipment.

SAVAGE ARMS AXIS 2 (LH) [GRY] delivers a focused package for left-handed shooters, chambered in .243 Winchester with a gray stock and all-black finish. The receiver is configured for left-hand operation with mirrored controls, and the rifle includes a single 4-round magazine. Priced at $475.99, it targets shooters who want performance without a premium price tag.

Design and Ergonomics

The AXIS 2 updates several user-facing elements. An updated bolt handle features a sleek, ergonomic design to improve control and comfort during cycling—especially useful in wet or cold conditions. Thread-in headspacing provides consistent lockup and helps maintain accuracy over time. An integrated 2-piece weaver mount simplifies optic installation so you can get a scope on quickly and zero faster.

Accuracy and Trigger

The standout feature for many shooters is the user-adjustable AccuTrigger. This feature allows a safe, crisp break tuned to the shooter’s preference and contributes to the “tack-driving accuracy” highlighted in the product description. Combined with thread-in headspacing and a solid receiver, the platform is capable of repeatable groups that maximize the .243 Winchester’s flat-shooting potential.

The .243 Winchester is versatile—effective on varmints and medium game with manageable recoil for extended range shots. Paired with the AXIS 2’s ergonomics and AccuTrigger, it makes a compelling choice for hunters who need a balance of precision and field-friendly handling.
