The Savage Axis XP Left-Hand .243 Winchester is a scoped bolt-action rifle for left-handed shooters, with a 20-inch threaded barrel and a black synthetic stock (Savage part no. 33088). A 3-9x40mm scope is mounted and bore-sighted at the factory, so the package covers varmint, hog and deer hunting without a separate optic purchase. Rifling runs 1:9.25 in the 20-inch barrel, and the magazine holds 4 rounds. Maker specs list an overall length of 40.5 inches and a weight of 7.6 pounds.
