The Savage Axis 2 7mm-08 Remington is a bolt-action hunting rifle with a 20-inch threaded barrel and a gray synthetic stock (Savage part no. 33128). The 5/8×24 threading takes a muzzle brake or suppressor mount, and the barrel is button rifled in carbon steel with a 1:9.5 twist. The user-adjustable AccuTrigger and the adaptable length-of-pull stock let you tune the rifle to your frame without a gunsmith. The receiver is black, the magazine is a detachable box, and Savage lists two-piece Weaver-style scope bases for the rifle. That makes it a straightforward choice for big-game hunters who want a threaded, adjustable rifle that is ready for a scope.
