The Savage Axis 2 Compact takes one of the most popular budget bolt actions in America and sizes it for smaller-framed shooters — a shorter length of pull that fits youth hunters and many adults better than a full-size stock. Chambered in .223 Remington with a 20-inch barrel, it's a soft-shooting, inexpensive-to-feed combination that's ideal for a first deer-and-varmint rifle where legal, or for coyotes and range practice anywhere. Savage's button-rifled barrel and detachable box magazine come standard, and the black synthetic stock shrugs off weather and hard hunting. An honest, accurate starter rifle from the company that made accuracy affordable.
