The Savage Axis XP Left-Hand .308 Winchester Rifle with 3-9×40 Scope, 20-Inch Threaded Barrel (brand part no. 33091) is a left-hand bolt-action hunting rifle in .308 Winchester that leaves the factory with a 3-9×40 scope already mounted and bore-sighted. Its 20-inch carbon steel barrel is threaded 5/8×24 and rides in a synthetic sporter stock with an ambidextrous magazine release and a four-round detachable box magazine. The rifle weighs 7.6 pounds and measures 40.5 inches overall, which keeps it manageable in a blind or on a walking hunt. Savage lists it for big game hunting, hog hunting and varmint hunting, which covers most of what a general-purpose centerfire rifle gets asked to do. Because it is a dedicated left-hand action, the controls fall naturally to a left-handed shooter instead of fighting them.

Key Specifications

• The chambering is .308 Winchester, the cartridge the barrel, bolt face and magazine are sized for.
• The barrel measures 20 inches in a heavy sporter contour of matte-finished carbon steel, a contour that favors steady accuracy over light weight.
• The muzzle is threaded 5/8×24, so a compatible muzzle device or suppressor can be fitted.
• The action is left-hand, built for left-handed shooters who want the bolt on the side that suits their hand.
• The barrel has a 1:10 rate of twist, the twist rate Savage lists for this model.
• Capacity is 4 rounds from the one detachable box magazine included with the rifle.
• A 3-9×40 scope comes mounted and bore-sighted from the factory, so the rifle arrives ready to be zeroed.
• The scope sits on 2-piece Weaver-style bases with medium Weaver-style rings, a standard pattern that keeps replacements easy to find.
• The trigger breaks between 5 and 7 pounds of pull force, a conventional weight for a field rifle.
• The synthetic sporter stock in black has a recoil pad and a 13.75-inch length of pull.
