The modern shooter needs a rifle that balances fit, accuracy, and value. For new and smaller-framed shooters who want a ready-to-shoot bolt action that won’t overwhelm, this model delivers ergonomics and performance in a lightweight package.

SAVAGE AXIS XP COMPACT

The SAVAGE AXIS XP COMPACT is built to fit smaller shooters without sacrificing key hunting and range capabilities. It ships factory-mounted and boresighted with a 3-9x40mm Weaver scope, so basic zeroing and first shots are much faster — a major advantage for beginners and parents buying a first long gun for a teen.

Design and key features

At the core is a 20-inch button-rifled carbon-steel barrel that gives the compact platform predictable, pinpoint accuracy out of a shorter package. The rugged synthetic stock reduces weight and resists weather, while the overall lightweight design makes carrying and handling easier on smaller shooters. A detachable box magazine simplifies loading and maintenance compared with fixed-mag designs.

Scope and out-of-the-box readiness

The factory-mounted 3-9x40mm Weaver scope is boresighted at the factory, so first-range trips are more productive. For family range days or the first hunt of the season, that pre-mounted optic removes an extra step and reduces setup time. View product details and pricing here.
