Savage Arms 32131 Axis 2 Compact 308 Win 4+1 20″ Matte Black Heavy Sporter Barrel, Matte Black Drilled & Tapped Carbon Steel Receiver, Fixed OD Green Synthetic Stock, Left Hand

Description

The Savage Arms Axis 2 Compact is a bolt action rifle in .308 / 7.62 NATO with a 20" barrel, a 1:10 twist and 4-round capacity plus one chambered.

This is a left-hand action: the bolt handle and ejection port are on the left side, laid out for a left-handed shooter. 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 .308 is commonly chosen for hunting, target shooting and general use. Probably the most versatile centerfire cartridge available – ammunition is everywhere, and it handles most North American game.

The all-new redesigned AXIS 2 Compact Model 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 Compact 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.
