The Savage Axis 2 Pro Compact chambered in 6mm ARC (Savage part no. 32397) is built specifically for younger or smaller-framed shooters, pairing a shorter length of pull with a mild-recoiling, modern cartridge that still hits hard enough for deer-sized game. The 20-inch barrel is rifled at a fast 1-in-7.5 twist to stabilize 6mm ARC’s efficient bullet weights, and a 4+1 capacity, fed from an included 4-round magazine, keeps the action simple for a new shooter to run. The receiver ships with no sights installed, leaving it ready for the optic a young hunter will actually use. This Savage is built to give a new hunter a rifle sized to fit rather than a cut-down adult gun.
