The Savage Axis 2 XP Compact .308 Winchester Rifle is a bolt-action rifle from Savage chambered in .308 Winchester, with a 20-inch barrel and a factory-mounted scope (brand part no. 32233). The 3-9x40mm scope is mounted and bore-sighted at the factory on two-piece Weaver-style bases, so most of the setup work is done before the box is opened. It is stocked in a gray synthetic sporter stock with a recoil pad and uses the user-adjustable AccuTrigger, which the maker rates from 2.5 to 6 pounds. The 12.75-inch length of pull and 39.5-inch overall length keep this compact model manageable for smaller-framed shooters. Savage lists it for big game, hog and predator hunting.
