The Savage Axis 2 is where a lot of hunters get their start, and it earns that spot honestly. It brings Savage's user-adjustable AccuTrigger into an entry-level rifle, which means a new shooter learns on a clean, light trigger rather than fighting a heavy factory pull. A detachable box magazine and a button-rifled barrel round out the package.

This left-hand model has a Flat Dark Earth stock and a 22-inch barrel in .30-06 Springfield, a combination that handles deer, bear, and elk with ammunition available everywhere.
