What’s Included
- Savage Axis XP Stainless Gen 2 bolt-action rifle
- Factory-mounted, bore-sighted Weaver 3-9x40 scope
The stainless steel barrel, receiver, and bolt resist rust and simplify maintenance, making this Axis variant particularly suited to damp field conditions. Savage’s floating bolt head and barrel-nut head-spacing system are well-known for delivering tight groups, and the 1:10" RH twist rate stabilizes the broad .308 Win projectile range.
The Generation 2 synthetic stock introduces a slimmer wrist, a more vertical grip, and textured panels that improve control in cold or wet weather. Integral sling studs and a soft recoil pad come standard, so the rifle is ready to carry and comfortable to shoot.
A 22-inch sporter-contour barrel keeps the overall weight manageable without sacrificing velocity. The recessed crown protects the rifling, while button-rifling contributes to consistent accuracy.
This Axis XP package leaves the factory with a Weaver 3-9x40 riflescope already mounted and bore-sighted, allowing shooters to head straight to the range for final zeroing. The non-AccuTrigger breaks cleanly and keeps the controls simple for hunters who prefer a straightforward setup.
