Savage Arms 32061 Axis 2 243 Win 4+1 22″ Matte Black Sporter Barrel, Matte Black Drilled & Tapped Steel Receiver, Fixed Matte Gray Synthetic Stock, Right Hand

Description

The Savage Axis 2 is a bolt action rifle in .243 Winchester with a 22" barrel, a 1:9.25 twist and 4-round capacity plus one chambered.

This barrel length is the usual compromise: enough to develop most of the cartridge's velocity while still being manageable to carry all day, and short enough that a suppressor on the end does not make it unwieldy. That is the standard twist for this cartridge, and it stabilizes the bullet weights most factory ammunition is loaded with. It ships without iron sights, so plan on an optic and a way to mount it: a red dot or holographic sits on a rail, a scope needs rings and a base, and a rifle with neither needs a mount first.

The .243 Winchester is commonly chosen for deer and varmints. A common choice for younger or recoil-sensitive shooters that still handles deer-sized game.

The all-new redesigned AXIS 2 offers hunters even better out-of-the-box performance at the same affordable price. In addition to a new look with improved ergonomics, the AXIS 2 is loaded with features that deliver tack-driving accuracy on every shot, including the user-adjustable AccuTrigger, and thread-in headspacing. The updated bolt handle with a sleek, ergonomic design delivers on functionality. This bolt handle will help to enhance user control and comfort during operation, especially in adverse conditions like rain or cold weather.
