Savage Axis 2 Gray .243 Winchester Rifle

Wearing a low-key gray synthetic stock instead of the more common green or tan finishes, the Savage Axis 2 Gray .243 Winchester rifle (Savage part no. 32061) gives hunters a bolt-action option that blends into rocky ridgelines and late-season cover just as well as it performs at the shooting bench. Savage carried over the enhanced-texture stock panels and pistol grip palm swells from the rest of the Axis 2 redesign, so the rifle holds steady even with cold or wet hands. A 22-inch barrel and 1-in-9.25 twist rate are tuned for standard .243 Winchester bullet weights, a cartridge prized for mild recoil and a flat trajectory on deer and varmints alike. The user-adjustable AccuTrigger and thread-in headspacing carry over unchanged from other Axis 2 models, giving this gray-finished rifle the same accuracy pedigree in a different color. A four-round detachable box magazine feeds the action, and the rifle ships without sights so it is ready for a hunting scope right out of the box. For hunters who want an understated finish that will not flash in the sun, the gray Axis 2 is a straightforward, no-frills choice.
