This brand new, exclusive Savage Axis II 22-250 Rem. rifle features a Kryptek Highlander stock and a Bushnell 4-12x40mm SharpShooter scope. Savage has also equipped this exclusive rifle with a Heavy Barrel. These features are all new to the Axis II family of rifles, and are not found on any other Axis II model. The Savage Axis II Kryptek 22-250 rifle is the perfect way for a new hunter to go from the store to the field, with the Savage AccuTrigger and Heavy Barrel optimizing the rifle for increased accuracy.
Love the feel of this new rifle. Haven't shot yet, just received. I own several Savage rifles and I think Savage has out did themselves this time with this Axis II. Upgrade on trigger and housing, heavy barrel and Kryptek highlander stock. Mine is in 22-250. Look out yotes.
Great value out of the box. I shot .5 inch and less groups with my first hand loads with this rifle with 62 grain Hornady bulk bullets. I must admit that was a little bit of luck in choosing the load I did and getting those results. A 22-250 is one of the easier cartridges to reload for and has superb accuracy. I used IMR-4064 powder with Hornady cases and Federal Bench Rest Primers. Reloading as it is one should use data tables from multiple sources for safe reloading.
