Precision, performance and price have never come together like this. Savage® rebuilt the synthetic stock on the AXIS II for improved ergonomics that let any hunter shoot their very best. Like always, the rifle’s user-adjustable AccuTrigger™, thread-in headspacing and floating bolt head extract the utmost accuracy from the 22-inch matte carbon steel barrel for the performance of high-end hunting rifles at a fraction of the price.
The operation of the action is poor. Hard to manipulate bolt and weak case extraction. Barrel is good. .75 MOA with my first box of ammo on a very windy day. My rifle came with a Bushnell 4x12 scope not 3x9 and I was surprised by its reasonably good quality. It has an adjustable objective for parallax adjustment. I like this rifle and cartridge well enough to consider trading-up to a Savage 110.
